Information
Date and time SS Information
06.08.2023 15:08 22 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been a pretty good weekend. Of course we're sorry for the loss of Kalle at the start of the rally but after that it's been really fantastic to drive this car - it's such a joy to be behind the wheel of on these roads and we're really happy with this one. It's been a fantastic atmosphere and great to have the support behind us. Of course, in terms of the championship it's also not bad and we close the gap.
06.08.2023 15:08 21 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The Power Stage is not a nice stage but we have to try to find a good rhythm and drive really. It's not one to be bouncing off the banks. Let's see what's possible.
06.08.2023 15:08 20 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's a tricky stage, quite low grip - lower than expected. It was just a steady run for now and we'll see later.
06.08.2023 15:08 19 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Everything's working. It didn't feel so committed in a few places but clearly this thing is working pretty well so the times are coming.
05.08.2023 18:08 18 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was very tricky to be honest. I took it on the careful side and there were a few places where it felt like a sledge! Obviously it's a nice position to be in but of course there are still more stages to come tomorrow. The focus will be on that now and we'll try to keep doing the same.
05.08.2023 17:08 17 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm obviously not doing anything too crazy but still trying to keep a good rhythm and trying to drive well. That's the goal for now.
05.08.2023 16:08 16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We're just trying to keep it clean and tidy and stay in the line, but also still trying to go quickly. It's going quite okay. Obviously the conditions are not the easiest but we're managing quite well for now.
05.08.2023 15:08 15 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I don't know, to be honest I wasn't sure if I was going well or not! Maybe I was pushing a bit harder at the end. It wasn't nice, especially at the beginning there were more ruts than expected. I seemed to deal with them okay but it's still a surprise to have deeper ruts in here.
05.08.2023 12:08 14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's still a pretty small gap and we've got a lot of rallying to do. We have to continue with our rhythm, it feels good to drive like this and if the performance is good enough then we have to carry on.
05.08.2023 12:08 13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was quite low grip in places for me. I tried to be really tidy in the slower places and as committed as I could in the high-speed.
05.08.2023 12:08 12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was quite clean and tidy, just doing what I need to do. For sure, I felt in some places I should have been a bit more brave, especially at the start where I didn't do as well as I would have liked. It's nice to be in this position and, of course, there's a long way to go.
05.08.2023 12:08 11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Everything's working quite well with the car but with the passage of cars I think certain corners are getting quite slippery with all the mud being dragged out.
04.08.2023 20:08 10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Overall it's been an okay day. We're pretty happy overall and obviously we've still got a lot of driving to do tomorrow.
04.08.2023 17:08 9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Kalle's retirement doesn't change anything, really. It's very early in the rally and of course it's a shame for Kalle, he was doing a great job, but from our side there's still a long way to go and it's business as usual.
04.08.2023 15:08 7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's not always the nicest, the standing water always catches you out a bit. I expected the time gap in some ways to be a bit more because we know how good Kalle is in these conditions and I didn't have the best stage.
04.08.2023 15:08 6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was okay but quite tricky conditions, a couple of big slides a bit unexpectedly. Other than that it was fine.
04.08.2023 15:08 5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was pretty slippery, that's for sure. I wasn't expecting it, it looked like pretty good grip but it was really bad and the rain was really quite heavy at the start.
04.08.2023 15:08 4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been drier than expected. I wasn't happy with my run to be honest, I just didn't carry the speed where I really wanted. It's a great stage and very good to drive but I wanted to do better.
04.08.2023 14:08 3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I felt I was a bit careful in a few places but the penalty is massive with it being such high-speed all the time. You can always overdrive in here, I clearly didn't overdrive enough.
04.08.2023 14:08 2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm a bit surprised by the time to be honest, it was a bit steady from me in a few places and not always perfect.
03.08.2023 22:08 1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's going to be obviously pretty fast-paced from the beginning. We know how this rally is and we're looking forward to it. Let's see what's possible.
