Date and time SS Information
30.07.2017 13:07 25 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Amazing. What a rally. I have to say a bit thanks to team, they built such a fast car in a short time. Big respect to them. I have little experience, and I need to get more mileage. Okay, on my home soil I should have been strong here and I was.
30.07.2017 11:07 24 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): We have to go, we have a problem.
30.07.2017 09:07 23 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's okay. Quite slippery out there. Can't do anything stupid. It's going to be fine.
30.07.2017 08:07 22 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): No issues. Nothing. Just trying to enjoy but it's difficult when you're not pushing flat out. You really need to be pushing to get the aero and everything working. Three to go...
29.07.2017 18:07 21 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I feel pretty good. Still disappointed for Jari-Matti but it wasn't my fault the car broke down so I need to enjoy this moment. It's something amazing. I need to concentrate and keep my head cool. In these cars, with the centre diff you have to drive it all the time - you can't back off. I need to keep a good speed all the time.
29.07.2017 17:07 20 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I have really mixed emotions. I have to say I've never been so disappointed when leading a rally, for Jari-Matti and the team, but it's part of the game. We still need to survive to the finish. It won't be easy to keep the rhythm without the pressure.
29.07.2017 16:07 19 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Unfortunately yes, I saw the number on the rear window. I did not want to be leading like this. It's a real shame. I mean this is not nice.
29.07.2017 15:07 18 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I was fast and the time is bad. I can't understand it. I was fully on the limit and had no moments. That's why I am surprised the is so bad.
29.07.2017 12:07 17 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I don't need to do anything, the car is good enough for the second loop. I really don't know how to fight with him Latvala. He's doing a really good job but the fight is not over for sure.
29.07.2017 12:07 16 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Really enjoyable but my time is not good enough. I know I lost some in the last junction, otherwise a pretty clean run. Not even close. I don't care if Jari-Matti has won this rally once or three times, I want to be faster. If I push more I will not stay on the road. I don't know where he is making the time.
29.07.2017 12:07 15 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I don't know, it was a clean stage for me but it seems I was not pushing enough. Jari-Matti was doing well, I can't fight with him now. This is quite a decent speed. I haven't had any moments. I don't know if it's wise to try and push.
29.07.2017 08:07 14 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's okay, Jari-Matti had a really good stage. I was too cautious in the beginning, in the other half I was better. The plan is to try and find the same rhythm as yesterday but I will not force myself to fight with Jari-Matti - it will not end well.
28.07.2017 20:07 13 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's difficult to describe, but since a small boy I've been dreaming of driving a World Rally Car in Finland. Now it's happening and I'm leading. I'm speechless. Tomorrow I'll drive the best stage in the world in this car. Can I win? I don't know. I need to concentrate. I don't want to force a fight with Jari-Matti. My target was the podium and that's still the target.
28.07.2017 18:07 12 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Before the rally I couldn't imagine leading today. It's really something special. It's difficult to understand but we tried to do our best and at the moment it's enough to keep the lead. I hope to continue tomorrow.
28.07.2017 17:07 11 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I was on the limit! Close to the trees in places. You can't go quicker in here.
28.07.2017 16:07 10 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Wow! The feeling is quite nice but I gave everything I could. I tried everything. I was pushing so much - and to be only 1.4ses quicker - it shows the quality of the competition!
28.07.2017 15:07 9 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Not much, but it's something. As a first pass it was a pretty good run - lots of places to improve tough. My driving so far is the best I have ever done.
28.07.2017 14:07 8 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I was expecting to lose some time here - the road is getting muddier and more slippery with each car.
28.07.2017 11:07 7 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It went well. I could feel the grip was changing a lot but that's how it is in rally. After the caution on the first stage it's been a good step up this morning. It feels good. Still a really long way to go.
28.07.2017 09:07 5 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It was quite okay but I made two mistakes. Still, the time is ok. There's a long way still to do. I must beat myself up to stay concentrated.
28.07.2017 09:07 3 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Not too cautious this time. We pushed more and it feels comfortable. No mistakes and still lot of places to improve.
28.07.2017 09:07 2 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I was on the safe side all the time. The guys ahead are cutting like hell. I know it now for the next one.
27.07.2017 19:07 1 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I think somebody ahead had hit the tyres and moved them.
