Information
Date and time SS Information
16.10.2016 12:10 19 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): A positive weekend. Three Hyundais in the top four. Huge thanks to everyone. Now let's bring on the gravel.
16.10.2016 11:10 18 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Not so bad. Over-driving in places but a nice steady pace with no big risks.
16.10.2016 10:10 17 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We tried something completely different with the setup but it didn't work. It's ok, we have a big gap behind us. We're learning all the time. Making progress.
16.10.2016 10:10 16 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): All I can do is keep the pressure on but I don't want a big battle. We'll keep going.
15.10.2016 18:10 15 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Who would have thought it on a Super Special? Jesus Christ, that's the surprise of the century! I've been working on Super Specials with my engineer it worked in Barcelona on Thursday and it worked here.
15.10.2016 16:10 14 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Doing what we can. Trying to looks for quite small margins. Neuville gave us a sniff of the podium on the first stage after lunch, but he's picked up since then.
15.10.2016 15:10 13 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): The setup this afternoon is an improvement. The driving felt better here but perhaps I'm pushing a little too much.
15.10.2016 11:10 11 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): A lot of muddy cuts in here, especially near the start. We had some understeer. A different character of stage to the others. We should have made changes.
15.10.2016 11:10 10 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We made some small changes. We're trying to find the grip and the confidence. This one was better. On these roads I wanted to be closer. I know where I can improve.
15.10.2016 08:10 8 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's strange, in the first braking section we locked up the wheels and there was a strong smell of burning plastic. Maybe it's just new parts bedding in. We'll have to check.
14.10.2016 16:10 7 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): No problems in the stage but it's been a difficult day. Without the earlier problems it could have been really good. I can take some personal confidence from that.
14.10.2016 15:10 6 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's amazing how much the conditions have dried compared to the previous stage. I'm doing what I can.
14.10.2016 15:10 5 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): That's a surprise. We have the same throttle problem and we can't do anything about that until tonight. I have changed my driving style completely to try and compensate - to try to keep the turbo spinning. It was ok in here - but maybe not in the long stage though.
14.10.2016 11:10 4 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Especially on the uphill asphalt section we've got no throttle response. I put my foot down to go and there's nobody home. I'm surprised not to have lost more time. There's not much more we can do about it. It is what it is.
14.10.2016 10:10 3 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We couldn't do anything after the first stage but we've got a decent road section now to have a look at it.
14.10.2016 10:10 2 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We've got an engine problem. I've lost the anti-lag and we're down on power and throttle response. It went flat in the second half of the stage. We'll take a look now.
13.10.2016 18:10 1 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): The rain seems to be getting harder. Not easy conditions. Tried to keep it clean, taking it slowly in places, overall a good way to start the rally.
