Information
Date and time SS Information
16.02.2024 19:02 8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Of course I tried, but a bit too much, making mistakes and overshooting a bit. There are still two days to go, so let's focus on tomorrow. I will be pushing!
16.02.2024 17:02 7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Oj, oj, oj, that was horrible! You canot see anything - it was very dark and there was massive snow everywhere - and we nearly went off.
16.02.2024 16:02 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's very difficult - the same as the last stage, no grip at all. I'm trying to follow the lines but sometimes I had to create the lines! It's difficult to push more - we're quite on-the-limit sometimes. We still have two days to go, so we cannot afford to make stupid mistakes today - we need to stay on the road.
16.02.2024 15:02 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): There were more than ten centimetres of snow in some sections, with no chance to find any grip - it was just using the banks and lines. It was proper bobsleigh sometimes! I enjoyed it. Having an Irish co-driver, I need to drive with a good rhythm and feeling like Craig Breen.
16.02.2024 12:02 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): There were hard conditions. I had to use the snowbanks sometimes, which was not always what I wanted to do.
16.02.2024 12:02 3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Of course I like the snowbanks, but not too much! There's a lot of snow, and while the road is for sure cleaning a lot, it's also getting messy which is making the lines disappear.
16.02.2024 12:02 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was a nice stage and the car is working well. There is a lot of room to push more. It feels good.
15.02.2024 19:02 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): That is a good start, EP and Kalle could be quick, but at least a good start...I am really looking forward to tomorrow.
