Information
Date and time SS Information
28.02.2021 13:02 10 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): First, when you come to a new event it's always a bit unexpected. This weekend, we came to the home country of Toyota and we expected them to be very strong. The pressure was there and we knew it was going to be very complicated to take the fight. In the end we did a very good weekend - nothing too much, only one mistake yesterday. It's an amazing place - definitely one of the best places to have a winter rally, especially yesterday, it was so demanding. I think to come back here a second time would be much more enjoyable, especially when you know where you are going!
28.02.2021 09:02 9 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's easier to just think about the driving and not the gaps. Let's see - the next time through is more important.
27.02.2021 18:02 8 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It went to plan. The tyres were quite tired, so it was important to get here without any mistakes.
27.02.2021 16:02 7 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I was really worried about the last stage, so I used the worst tyres just so we could get through. The last one will be really important now.
27.02.2021 15:02 6 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's so difficult - we were just trying to come through as smooth as possible but I'm sure it's very hard for tyre wear.
27.02.2021 12:02 5 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We did some changes before, and the car was behaving very nice. It's so difficult to find the confidence, but if you know this stage then it's one of the best.
27.02.2021 10:02 4 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I couldn't activate the wipers, so I couldn't see anything! It was good to get out!
27.02.2021 10:02 4 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): big moment, clipped a snow bank
27.02.2021 09:02 3 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): This morning I was pushing quite hard and sometimes hitting the banks. It's difficult, far back the ice is already in some lines and it's changing a lot.
26.02.2021 18:02 2 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I tried to be very nice to the tyres at the beginning and after 10km I thought - the tyres were finished - and I knew there was still 20km to go. In the end it was just handbrake. I tried to be as nice as possible, but it was difficult, it's just such a hard surface.
26.02.2021 14:02 1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's hard to say it's perfect, there is still quite a lot of understeer. It's a very demanding stage and the conditions were nice. For sure it's enjoyable, but it's only the first stage and there's a long way to go.
