Information
Date and time SS Information
22.01.2023 13:01 18 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I have no idea. After a tight corner something broke straight away, like the car was washing out into the mountain. We were very lucky it was not in a fast section. After that we hit the rear and we were able to continue but we couldn't open the throttle because there was something wrong with the car.
22.01.2023 13:01 18 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): damaged suspension
22.01.2023 12:01 17 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I just wanted to feel how the car is working and it's obviously better than this morning. I will try to do maximum push in the next one - I don't know how much I can do but I'll try.
22.01.2023 09:01 16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's so slippy, I don't know why. Even more slippy than Thursday night. It was enjoyable but quite scary.
22.01.2023 09:01 15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The feeling is okay. I am trying to manage my tyres a bit and let's see what we can do in the next three stages.
21.01.2023 19:01 14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's been rally challenging, especially this night stage. You can not see some of the corners and also you can not see how much gravel is coming on the road. We survived.
21.01.2023 18:01 13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): At the end of the stage, maybe three times I was off the line. Not a big moment but I had understeer.
21.01.2023 18:01 12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I am just focusing on my own things. This morning I had no pace, so I need to improve some stuff. In this stage my driving was so bad - I'm really not happy.
21.01.2023 18:01 11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's tricky and actually quite slippy at the beginning. I was not so confident in this stage so I will try to fix that for the next loop.
21.01.2023 18:01 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): You never know how much gravel is coming from the inside, so maybe I was a bit cautious at the end. It's enjoyable but it's not so comfortable.
21.01.2023 17:01 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I am just trying to do my best today but this one is very cold temperature. My gravel crew did a really good job but the end of the stage is definitely quite slippy, maybe the salt or something. All okay.
21.01.2023 07:01 8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's been quite a good day and we need to bring this feeling into tomorrow. There is still a long way to go so I need to keep improving and finish the rally.
21.01.2023 07:01 7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's quite wide and high-speed, I really like it because you can take the line how you want.
21.01.2023 07:01 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I was more confident with the conditions and I was trying to take some risks. I don't know why but there is some sort of vibration. Apart from this everything is working well.
21.01.2023 06:01 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Luckily we found a slow puncture after the last stage so we fitted a new tyre on time. The feeling was very good with the car and everything was working well.
21.01.2023 06:01 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I feel good with the car. After the middle of the stage we started to get some mist on the windscreen so I was maybe not fully focused.
21.01.2023 06:01 3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's okay. I was too careful in the damp sections because I thought there would be ice, but there was no ice.
19.01.2023 21:01 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We couldn't do any hairpins.
19.01.2023 21:01 2 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): handbrake is not working
19.01.2023 21:01 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's tricky this one - especially in the dark and with these kind of temperatures, but the gravel crew did a great job. It's all okay.
