Information
Date and time SS Information
14.05.2023 15:05 19 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It has been too long coming, but finally we are back. I have to say a big thank you to Jonne and the team. They have been pushing all the time and going forward. I also have to give a good thank you to my very good friend Artu. I have been having a hard time since the end of last year personally, and he has been pushing me to come back.
14.05.2023 10:05 17 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): The stage felt much slippier than I was expecting. Let's see in the afternoon how slippy it is, but of course, our plan is to win the Power Stage.
14.05.2023 09:05 16 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It seems that we were still too fast! I don't know how slow we should drive because it feels so slow. We were just saving the tyres.
13.05.2023 20:05 15 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): For sure, it was a good day. We lost the intercom at the end of the previous stage - thankfully it didn't happen in the forest!
13.05.2023 19:05 13 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): A really rough stage. At the beginning I was driving normally to have a good feeling but when it got rough I was backing down to be safe.
13.05.2023 16:05 12 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Now we are trying to be a bit more safe. It's quite rough in places so I just tried to avoid the stones and go around the lines. It's not easy but we are managing.
13.05.2023 12:05 11 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We have done a few good mornings, but this was a really good one. The whole loop was good and we will try to continue like this.
13.05.2023 11:05 10 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's good if it's a good stage time because I didn't feel so good in the car. It's a long stage to take care of the soft tyres. Let's see how they look now.
13.05.2023 10:05 9 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I just woke up today and thought that we should drive a bit of rally... That's what we tried to do!
13.05.2023 10:05 7 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It has been a rough day, a really tough afternoon. We had really bad tyres so it's not easy to open the road after Elfyn went off. It's a big shame for him and I hope they are okay.
13.05.2023 10:05 6 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's really tough now. The stage is in much worse condition than I was expecting, much rougher than last year. Not so enjoyable and the tyres are taking a huge beating - let's hope we have some tyres left for the next one.
13.05.2023 09:05 5 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I just tried to have a clean run. It's a really rough stage and definitely at the beginning I was maybe not clean enough, but I still tried to save the tyres a little bit from punctures.
13.05.2023 09:05 4 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I am not surprised to be honest... it's really slippery for the line and it's really narrow for the small cars. It seems like after Elfyn there is not much of a clean line so I tried to be clean, but it felt like I was opening the road.
13.05.2023 09:05 3 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Now it was better. It was a bit expected that maybe we would need to dial in the set-up of the car a bit, and we changed something now which seems to be better. At least this was a clean run but the afternoon will be tricky when we go onto the hard tyres. It will be rough.
13.05.2023 09:05 2 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): This one was much, much worse to be honest. Straight sway when we go to these wide roads and much faster stages we have so much understeer and we are killing the front tyres.
13.05.2023 09:05 1 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It felt like a good stage. For sure there was some dust hanging in the forest and it wasn't east to push there but we had a clean stage.
