Information
Date and time SS Information
13.11.2022 12:11 19 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Huge thanks to the team and all the supporters on the stage and also on the road sections. Unfortunately my team-mates had a lot of problems but I have no words. It was very tricky weather but we are here.
13.11.2022 04:11 18 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Very difficult. I was very careful because these are quite crazy roads. I didn't want to make any mistakes.
13.11.2022 01:11 16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Never happy to hear a team-mate is having issues. We need to survive.
13.11.2022 00:11 15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's okay - nothing special. A little bit damp in some sections but it was not as bad as I expected.
12.11.2022 16:11 12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I don't know why but it's not so natural driving. I had a moment here this morning so maybe I backed off too much. I don't know but I am trying.
12.11.2022 16:11 11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I try to push but this was really really horrible. I need to improve.
12.11.2022 02:11 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I wanted to really push in this one but the rhythm was not so good, so I stepped it down a bit. All good but this afternoon is going to be tricky.
12.11.2022 00:11 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I had no info about the end of the stage and it was very, very slippery. I could not drive like this and it was so dangerous for me.
11.11.2022 23:11 8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I'll try to push where I can but this one not so much because it's too tricky. I was careful in the middle section but let's see in the next one.
11.11.2022 12:11 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The feeling is getting better and better. With the leaves the grip is unknown so I was guessing a little bit! I feel pretty comfortable.
11.11.2022 12:11 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The car has improved and I feel more natural driving. I was still hesitant to carry the speed because you never know how much grip there is. It's quite okay.
11.11.2022 02:11 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was big understeer everywhere. I don't know why. It's very difficult to see the grip changes also - it's never easy.
10.11.2022 23:11 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Very difficult and very bad driving from me. I was quite surprised at how low the grip was in a corner near the beginning and after that I was not really sure what was coming.
10.11.2022 12:11 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It feels very comfortable but it's going to be a big challenge. This was a proper tricky stage and it's going to be a big weekend - but I'll try to push.
