Date and time SS Information
23.06.2023 15:06 7 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was quite okay. Quite soft in places with really big holes and stones and stuff, proper Safari-spec. A lot of surprises, and it's a high-speed stage so not easy.
23.06.2023 15:06 6 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Quite a different style of stage, so for sure the understeer was not so big. A similar feeling but at least on this one it's not such a big issue.
23.06.2023 15:06 5 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): When the stage was drying up it got much slippier. I think we made a small mistake on the set-up because we expected to have more grip in the afternoon. I had a lot of understeer all the time, we are going to lose some time there for sure.
23.06.2023 10:06 4 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was a proper cleaning morning, but I think we did a good job. No mistakes, all the time I was happy with the driving. There are still many places which will clean a lot but I can be quite happy.
23.06.2023 10:06 3 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): This was much faster and wider than the previous stage. It's cleaning in here but it's more fast and open, maybe that will help.
23.06.2023 10:06 2 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was pretty okay to be honest. This one has a downhill section which was really bad and had a lot of loose gravel. It's going to clean a lot - I couldn't do much there.
22.06.2023 14:06 1 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's gonna be a new challenge this year. Different from last year. Definitely more rough. Let's try to do the same as last year. We just need to be steady and keep a good pace. At least the start was better.
