Information
Date and time SS Information
07.10.2018 12:10 22 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I had a spin in there.
07.10.2018 12:10 21 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): Still a long way to go.
07.10.2018 12:10 20 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It is extremely difficult in there, I didn't have a rhythm to be honest, the grip was changing massively. It was some places so slippery, even a lot of mud dragged onto the road.
07.10.2018 12:10 19 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): Try to mix a lot of things from what we've learned over the weekend. It is not so bad, I struggled to find the rhythm in here but it was ok.
06.10.2018 17:10 16 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It is not going so well to be honest. I struggle a lot with understeer like on the last stage. I drive a lot more on the steering lock than on a straight wheel which means I'm losing a bit of time.
06.10.2018 16:10 15 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It was very difficult to judge. Obviously, we had a little bit wrong information and it is dead dry, I had to take care of my tyres.
06.10.2018 13:10 14 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): Yeah, it was a Live stage wasn't it so you have to make sure you have some sponsors! The car is quite dirty so I picked up the flag in the stage to get a bit extra.
06.10.2018 13:10 13 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It is a little bit back and forward to be honest. The car is responding to what I'm doing. Not everything is perfect but I try to learn and adapt for every stage I do and it is feeling better and better.
05.10.2018 18:10 9 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I'm getting a bit desperate because things aren't great with the suspension and I need to preserve the car. It is not easy to drive. When I was on the brake the engine stalled and I couldn't get it restarted, that should have been rally over really.
05.10.2018 17:10 8 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I think it is getting a lot slower to be honest. The heavy rain always cleans the roads and that's when the guys at the front benefit. I thought the stage was quite good, but you shouldn't lose 22sec with a drive like that so the grip must be fading.
05.10.2018 16:10 7 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): The pace is not so bad, I don't think it is developing better - the conditions. I would like to be faster but I think we have almost reached the limit. We changed the suspension in service and it feels better now.
05.10.2018 12:10 4 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I struggle a bit with the feeling to be honest. I feel I have no suspension left, the car is like a boat - I crash a lot. I have no feeling with the car.
05.10.2018 11:10 3 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It was tricky, especially in the beginning I struggled a lot. Second half was a lot better, car was working better and I had a better rhythm.
05.10.2018 11:10 2 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It is a good stage, quite slippery in there. A few surprises, but we had a good push and the time is quite good so I'm pleased with that.
