Information
Date and time SS Information
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.
