Information
Date and time SS Information
23.07.2023 12:07 21 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I have no speed, that's the problem. I need to improve for Finland, otherwise same story there. Sorry for the team - I had no speed this weekend but I will try to find out.
23.07.2023 12:07 20 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I need to try something to gain a bit of the gap before the Power Stage. In the Power Stage I will be going flat-out.
23.07.2023 12:07 19 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's a mixture of conditions. In some corners you have a lot of grip but in some there is a lot of loose. A few surprises but I enjoyed it a lot.
23.07.2023 12:07 18 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I had a smooth stage with no mistakes. Let's see for the Wolf Power Stage.
22.07.2023 19:07 17 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): You keep asking me every time but I have no skill to describe what happened [in SS14] in English! I made one big mistake in this stage but we are here and this is the most important stage.
22.07.2023 18:07 16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's been many things but we are here, that's the main thing.
22.07.2023 17:07 15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): So many things happened so I cannot tell you everything because not there is enough time! Before this stage many things happened.
22.07.2023 15:07 14 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): left stop line and is moving towards next stage
22.07.2023 15:07 14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I cannot restart the car. I don't know... whole stage like this! We cannot move...
22.07.2023 14:07 13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): A few mistakes. In some corners you have a lot of grip and in some others you have no grip. It was not so easy to judge what the grip was going to be.
22.07.2023 11:07 12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I don't know, the progress depends on conditions. This one is not as bad as yesterday so it's easier to drive. Still missing something, we will try to improve for this afternoon.
22.07.2023 10:07 11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Conditions have improved quite a lot so it's easier to drive. All okay.
22.07.2023 09:07 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Normally I really like jumps but this one I really hated. Too many jumps and all of them quite hard!
22.07.2023 09:07 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Super slippy. It's a totally different feeling than yesterday. The car works pretty well, it's just a lack of grip because the conditions are super slippy.
21.07.2023 17:07 8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Quite a tricky stage so I just drove through without mistakes. Today was not good for me... I need to improve.
21.07.2023 17:07 7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It depends on the conditions. This one is not so bad with the ruts so you can push, but in other stages it can put you down quite a lot. Maybe I need to take more risks but I need to find the balance.
21.07.2023 15:07 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I am trying to find the confidence but the weather is making it even more difficult. If I try to push too much than I will easily make a mistake and then that's it.
21.07.2023 14:07 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): There are obviously some slippery corners. I have no confidence at all.
21.07.2023 12:07 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's quite high-speed and enjoyable, but at the same time I am struggling a lot and it didn't feel so good.
21.07.2023 12:07 3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I overshot a junction so it was not nice. It was a Tarmac junction and I went too late with the braking.
21.07.2023 12:07 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Especially this one you need to have big confidence in the pace notes and everything. I just need to step by step get my feeling and the confidence to get closer to the front.
20.07.2023 21:07 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was nice to see all of the Estonian fans. The rally starts now - tomorrow will be going step by step to get a good feeling and then I will try to push.
