Information
Date and time SS Information
30.10.2023 11:10 18 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It felt good at the end of the weekend but I have a lot of things I need to improve myself. For sure, the next rally is in my home country so I need to do a big push there.
30.10.2023 11:10 16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's not easy, because in some corners you can see a lot a mud, but not as I expected. I was way too careful because I expected more mud coming from the inside.
29.10.2023 08:10 15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I was being on the safer side, but let's see how it's going on the next one.
28.10.2023 18:10 14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): At least I wanted to be in front of Teemu, so I tried of course. That was quite scary, quite bad. I am very happy to finish the day.
28.10.2023 17:10 13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's better, but obviously this one was quite tricky so I had to be quite careful. This next one is in the dark so I need to find the level I need to push.
28.10.2023 15:10 12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): That's quite good news, I was struggling a lot this morning. The engineers changed my brain and now it finally works!
28.10.2023 13:10 11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): A lot of mud is coming from the inside, but this is what we expected. For me it's very difficult to drive at the moment, I don't have the feeling. I am really struggling and I don't know why.
28.10.2023 13:10 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): No issues, just so many surprises. I could not trust the pace notes, it's not easy.
28.10.2023 08:10 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Most of the sections were big surprises because after the gravel crews the gravel is coming more and more. There were a lot of surprises on the pace notes, it's not so nice.
27.10.2023 18:10 8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The conditions are changing a lot. Even in this one, before the stage there was no rain but when we came to the stage it started to rain. It's very tricky.
27.10.2023 18:10 7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Very, very tricky. Even more high-speed than the previous one and lots of mud. We had a big moment also, the mud pulled us out and we were nearly into the big trees. Quite lucky!
27.10.2023 18:10 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure, some sections are a bit drier but there is still a lot of mud. For me, the bigger problem is that I have no hybrid. It's okay, I am used to this, but I have a lot of hybrid issues.
27.10.2023 18:10 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Quite messy in some places. I think the afternoon is going to be even worse, so let's see.
27.10.2023 18:10 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure, some sections feel good but in some sections the conditions are changing a lot. It's very difficult to trust the information so we just need to find the balance.
27.10.2023 18:10 3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's hard to trust the pace notes because so much mud is coming. For sure the gravel crew did a good job but there is still a lot of things that are unexpected. It's not easy.
27.10.2023 10:10 3 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): puncture (front right)
26.10.2023 20:10 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was not fully dark, so not so easy to see. At the same time, these anti-cut devices are reflecting a lot and in some corners I couldn't really see anything. Everything is fine, I was just a bit steady because it didn't feel so good.
