Information
Date and time SS Information
24.04.2023 20:04 20 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Nice to finish this rally. We had quite a bad run in the past two events so it's good to finish. The car was amazing and we had a very good feeling yesterday and today. Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Elfyn Evans.
24.04.2023 20:04 19 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): There is more gravel and especially at the end of the stage there is a lot of mud from the inside, but it's definitely easier to drive than the last stage.
23.04.2023 08:04 18 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): In the previous stage the feeling was very good, but this one was super tricky. I felt like I was on ice sometimes and you have no grip. But we are here and I will try to find something better for the Power Stage.
23.04.2023 07:04 17 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I felt very good with the car. I don't know how it's going behind me but at least the feeling is much better than yesterday. Hopefully I can try to push for the Power Stage.
22.04.2023 20:04 16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Nice to be here. It was a tricky day - the rhythm was not so bad but the conditions were demanding. I need to find out what I need to improve and hopefully in tomorrow's Power Stage I can push with a good feeling.
22.04.2023 18:04 15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I knew Pierre-Louis would struggle with the hard tyres but I am not satisfied with myself in here.
22.04.2023 17:04 14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I tried to enjoy and push but it didn't feel so good. It's not so easy - there's a lot of pollution from the cutting and low grip.
22.04.2023 17:04 13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): A tricky stage. I was not able to push, but okay, we focus on the next one.
22.04.2023 12:04 12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's nice to be close but I am struggling quite a lot today, I don't know why. The car is working pretty well but something feels not so great.
22.04.2023 12:04 11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): In some sections there was a lot of mud and dirt coming from the inside. For sure, it's getting worse and worse and it's very tricky. We are here but it's going to be messy.
22.04.2023 12:04 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Nice, but let's see. The next two stages will be more tricky again.
22.04.2023 08:04 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Some clean sections are quite okay but in the forest a lot of dirt is coming from the inside. It's not so easy.
21.04.2023 18:04 8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I thought it would be more wet or something but it wasn't bad to be honest. Tomorrow is going to be another challenging day.
21.04.2023 18:04 7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's a nice stage. Honestly, I didn't like the first two stages, but this one is faster and nicer. I'm enjoying here.
21.04.2023 16:04 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I expected more wet. We had nothing to lose so that is why we decided to try the wet tyres.
21.04.2023 16:04 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's a bit easier but we spun in a very narrow section and lost a bit of time. We got some rain but it didn't affect us so much.
21.04.2023 11:04 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Still not easy but the next loop is going to be even more difficult and tricky. We need to focus on that.
21.04.2023 11:04 3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Of course, a little bit less cutting so it makes it more easy for us to guess what's going to happen. The first two were horrible with a lot of mud coming from the inside. This one was okay but the Tarmac is still quite slippery.
21.04.2023 09:04 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The new section, some cuts are a bit nasty with some rocks inside.
21.04.2023 08:04 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's full of gravel on the road and I was not able to trust the pace notes so much. It's going to be tough today but we need to survive.
