Information
Date and time SS Information
23.10.2022 12:10 19 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I made too many mistakes at the beginning of the stage. Thank you for the team and to my gravel crew. The car was fantastic all weekend. Unfortunately I could not perform as well as I wanted but I will try to improve for Japan.
23.10.2022 12:10 18 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The softs are there for mental support in case it's raining!
23.10.2022 12:10 17 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's easier to drive but I was losing grip at the end of the stage. In the Power Stage I will try to do my best and let's see if I can take any points or not.
23.10.2022 12:10 16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was okay but it was not so easy.
22.10.2022 20:10 15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I felt pretty good today, even better than yesterday. We've been increasing the pace step-by-step and it's getting better. The only thing was that it was hard to manage the tyre temperatures and they were overheating sometimes. Maybe in a few places I was not committed enough but it's getting better.
22.10.2022 16:10 14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I enjoyed it quite a lot. A very nice stage and you really feel the speed. At the end I was overheating the tyres but the car was still working pretty well.
22.10.2022 15:10 13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Lunch was quite normal - nobody complaining luckily! We will see tomorrow morning about my breakfast and how many people are watching and complaining about me.
22.10.2022 10:10 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I had a good breakfast! The car is all the time working well and I am really happy to drive on tarmac. I just need to be a bit more precise with my driving.
22.10.2022 10:10 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's quite okay. The conditions are not so bad and luckily we didn't get any rain. I am the fifth car on the road but already the cuts are starting to get dirty.
21.10.2022 18:10 8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I felt good at the beginning but at the end there is a lot of cutting. I was not confident to take the cuts because I had a puncture in the previous stage. Hopefully tomorrow's stages will be in better condition.
21.10.2022 17:10 7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Maybe it was the same corner. We didn't have an impact, just on a long tight right-hander. I had no hybrid anyway so it feels like a big disaster for this stage.
21.10.2022 17:10 7 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): puncture
21.10.2022 16:10 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was so much better than this morning. Of course the conditions are quite different but I want to try to continue like this.
21.10.2022 12:10 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Not a super good morning, but at least the car is working well. I am maybe hesitating too much in some sections, but it's changing a lot after a few cars. The next run should be more dirty but also a bit easier, because we will know where it is bad.
21.10.2022 11:10 3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): My driving is not good. It's a difficult to find the grip because some corners are still damp and others are dry. I am just trying to find my confidence and this is my aim for the afternoon loop.
21.10.2022 10:10 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It feels okay but I was too careful. We had some gravel info that there was almost nothing, but it's still better to be on the cautious side.
