Information
Date and time SS Information
24.04.2023 20:04 20 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It feels so insignificant now again really, that's the bottom line. We've been working towards this for a long time but it's surprising how little it means just at the moment. We're back to missing our friend adter the real focus on the weekend and straight away after crossing the finish line that's all we can think about.
24.04.2023 20:04 19 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Like I said, you never know in this game - especially here with this tricky stage still to go. We just need to keep our focus now on this last one.
23.04.2023 09:04 18 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was pretty dirty in there and I had a few surprises at the beginning in terms of getting caught out on the dirt, so I took it easy. I'm trying not to do anything silly.
23.04.2023 07:04 17 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Pretty okay. I heard the time of Kalle and I wasn't sure if it would be enough to be honest, but all good.
22.04.2023 20:04 16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I can't say I am pleased. I wasn't so happy with the way I drove in there and if Ott had problems I wouldn't wish that on him. It's not nice to exploit a gap like that but there's still a long way to go.
22.04.2023 18:04 15 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I didn't think it would be enough again to be honest. I felt like I was pushing harder in the previous one - so maybe that's where I'm going wrong!
22.04.2023 17:04 14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I can believe he's on the limit with that time! For me it was a clean run to be honest, I'm surprised to lose that much. I've got a better feeling [in the car] but the time doesn't feel so good!
22.04.2023 17:04 13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I was struggling. It was very loose and the car seemed to be very skittish. It was really difficult to get any confidence in there.
22.04.2023 12:04 12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The surface in there at the end, we knew was low on grip, but I skimmed a barrier with the rear and we were very lucky.
22.04.2023 12:04 10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It felt like a pretty okay push, but probably a bit scrappy at the end there.
22.04.2023 08:04 9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I was a little bit too careful on the gravel cuts. Some places good, but other places not so much.
21.04.2023 18:04 8 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It wasn't the strongest start to the day but after that we kept building and building and it's been okay. It's not an easy rally and there's a long way to go. It's going to be an interesting fight.
21.04.2023 18:04 7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I can't claim that I'm being cautious. I'm just trying to drive to the notes and everything else and it's all working pretty okay. Fine for now.
21.04.2023 16:04 6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I guess it may be drying out a bit, but I think the mud is then doing more damage than what is drying I guess. It's hard to judge.
21.04.2023 16:04 5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was all pretty okay. Obviously very dirty but that's to be expected.
21.04.2023 11:04 4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's getting dirtier with every car now. In places the car feels quite good but in others I am struggling a bit with the rear. I'm not looking at anywhere in the battle, I'm just focusing on myself.
21.04.2023 11:04 3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We had it just near the end there, so I don't think it cost us too much. It looks like we were quite lucky with that one.
21.04.2023 09:04 2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Really difficult. The grip is really hard to trust. There are so many of these loose chippings on the stage.
21.04.2023 08:04 1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It wasn't brilliant, to be honest. It was okay but of course the road is getting very dirty behind and there's only so much you can do - but we need to be better than that.
