Information
Date and time SS Information
14.10.2016 16:10 7 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Ok, this morning wasn't a great start, but that had a lot to do with the conditions. On these gravel stages I've never had a good rhythm and now I feel I have made progress. I can leave this day satisfied with the afternoon. Hey, not every day can be a good one.
14.10.2016 15:10 6 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): The grip was quite good. It's nice to find a bit of a rhythm but the conditions are still all over the place. My objective is to find a good rhythm for the next stage.
14.10.2016 15:10 5 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): It's a lot better when you don't roll. Very tricky. In these conditions you have to be so careful in the ruts.
14.10.2016 12:10 4 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): The car is fine, no drama, but it's impossible to do anything more in these conditions. It's just about survival. The further back you are, the deeper the ruts.
14.10.2016 11:10 3 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): A terrible stage. More and more slippery. The heavy rain has filled the ruts and we're aquaplaning everywhere. I came here to learn the stages but I'm not learning much today.
14.10.2016 12:10 2 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Not a great morning - a really stupid situation. I turned into a left-hander and ran into some ruts. I backed off and thought okay, we're going to spin, but the car slid, touched a bank and we went over. Really stupid.
14.10.2016 10:10 2 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I rolled in a fourth-gear corner. I was in the middle of the the corner and the car dug in and turned us over. I thought I'd got away with it but the rain is filling the ruts now and it's hard to drive.
14.10.2016 10:10 2 (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): rolled
13.10.2016 18:10 1 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): The conditions here mean this one was just about getting through. I was very cautious. I know it's possible to lose a rally on a stage like this, so I'm happy to throw away a few seconds here.
