Information
Date and time SS Information
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.
