Information
Date and time SS Information
06.08.2023 15:08 22 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): My first podium in Europe and I didn't expect it in Finland! I am very happy, thank you for all the support - especially my family. Morizo-san, Akio-san is here this weekend and it's been very special for me because he has been supporting me since the beginning.
06.08.2023 15:08 21 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's not over and anything is still possible. I need to stay focused. I was pushing a lot but obviously making too many mistakes. It could be better but this is part of the learning.
06.08.2023 15:08 20 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It would be nice to have a bit more of an advantage but we still have two stages to go. For sure, Suninen never gives up so we have to keep on pushing.
06.08.2023 15:08 19 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): There is a new section in here and I think Teemu has done this stage before. For me it was the first time. It's okay.
05.08.2023 18:08 18 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I was scared so much to be honest! Kalle Rovanperä is very good in these conditions and he has been teaching me a lot. I tried the drifting and I was pushing like hell. Still many things to improve but if I am faster than Suninen it's good.
05.08.2023 17:08 17 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's close! I am enjoying it quite a lot to be honest. Let's keep pushing and let's see.
05.08.2023 16:08 16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I had a bit of a strange feeling from the engine. It should be okay, I don't know.
05.08.2023 15:08 15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Quite okay. The conditions were not as tricky as this morning so it's easier to drive. In the next one I will try to push more because in this one I was a bit looking after everything. All works well and the car feels good, let's see.
05.08.2023 12:08 14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's okay. I expected to be a bit more slow because I was not committed enough. If the time is like this then it's fine, I'll try to be a bit more committed in the second pass.
05.08.2023 12:08 13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We had really no grip. I am struggling a lot.
05.08.2023 12:08 12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I just spun. It was so slippy, I lost the line a bit and could not manage it. I had to reverse and it cost a lot of time.
05.08.2023 12:08 12 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): spun
05.08.2023 12:08 11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): In this one I had to be quite careful because in the beginning already I had to change the pace notes a bit. I was missing some pace note information and I had to ask Aaron what was coming, I was a bit confused.
04.08.2023 20:08 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): So far everything is good. I was losing a bit of time in the morning but otherwise it's going pretty okay. Tomorrow is a big day, I'll try to manage it well and move closer.
04.08.2023 17:08 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Of course I will try to push as much as I can but in this one I expected more tricky conditions. It wasn't so bad so I was losing time by myself. Tomorrow is a big day and anything can happen.
04.08.2023 16:08 8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I was trying to not think about it. This can happen in these kinds of tricky conditions in the stage. I am just trying to focus on my job now for the next one.
04.08.2023 15:08 7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's quite a tricky stage to be honest. We got small rain at the start but the feeling is good. In some places I had to be a bit careful but it's all okay.
04.08.2023 15:08 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): These conditions are making it even more difficult than this morning. In some places you have good grip and then in others you have no grip at all. I had a few moments.
04.08.2023 15:08 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's a big shame for EP but it's tricky in these conditions. When you get a line and there are a few cars cutting and cutting, they bring out the mud and there is no grip at all.
04.08.2023 15:08 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's a very special stage. For me it's the first time and I expected it to be a challenging stage.
04.08.2023 14:08 3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I expected quite bad conditions but it wasn't so bad. I was very careful.
04.08.2023 14:08 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The car is good, I can enjoy with the car. I didn't do maximum push, just a normal push with no problems. The team did a very good job to prepare this car so I will try to prove that with my result.
03.08.2023 22:08 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): My family and friends are here and I have seen many people that I see in normal life. It's very nice to be here and tomorrow is going to be very challenging. I will try to push.
