31.03.2024 17:03 19 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's a very nice feeling to finish on the podium, it's been a very tough weekend. I must say a huge thanks to the team, they looked after the car so well. Of course at some points I made mistakes and got punctures, but the team did so well and honestly, reliability is one of the most important things. Thank you guys!
31.03.2024 17:03 17 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): This stage was very much stressful. I got a puncture in the morning so I had to be careful. I'm going to try and enjoy the next two stages.
31.03.2024 17:03 16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's quite bad actually, lot of big rocks everywhere, especially on the line. We will keep going and I will try to manage the pace and the car.
31.03.2024 17:03 14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): This stage is a lottery, we don't know where the rock is because it moves all the time with the car.
31.03.2024 01:03 13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): A lot better, we still had an issue with the car but I am very happy. I must say, Aaron did a super job on the stage, I was following what he was saying so huge thanks to him.
31.03.2024 01:03 12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Very careful through the stage, everything is fine. I wanted to make sure we make it through the stage and we keep the position at the end of the day. Next one we just need to survive. Aaron is working well, sorry for him!
31.03.2024 01:03 11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For us it's OK, but we need to work a bit.
31.03.2024 01:03 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Puncture, I hit a big one so tough mistake. It's very bumpy.
31.03.2024 01:03 10 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): puncture
31.03.2024 01:03 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It doesn't matter how much we are fighting, we're focussing to avoid a puncture which could easily happen. It's annoying but I try to follow my strategy and do my best. Next stage? Road conditions horrible!
31.03.2024 01:03 8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I have a bigger problem with my eyes! I really hate the fesh-fesh, you cannot open your eyes with it!
29.03.2024 22:03 7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I was losing time in the soft sections, and also I missed one junction so I lost some time there. I am quite happy to be here - tomorrow will be an even more tricky and difficult day.
29.03.2024 22:03 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Anything can happen to all of us. I just need to be smart but it's very difficult to drive at the moment because so many things are happening in the car.
29.03.2024 21:03 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was very difficult, very rough. The beginning felt good but in the middle of the stage I had to be a bit careful because there was some unexpected movement coming from the car. We will find out what we can do.
29.03.2024 21:03 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure, in this one I was a bit too careful so I lost too much time. We just need to stay on the road without problems and we will see at the end of the weekend.
29.03.2024 21:03 3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's quite messy in some places - a lot of loose rocks and easy to get a puncture. So far it's all good, I'm just avoiding the problems.
29.03.2024 20:03 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's tricky enough, but the second pass will be harder. I had a careful drive but it's okay, there's still a long way to go.
29.03.2024 20:03 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Let's see. It's going to be an interesting weekend. We will fight and we will try our best.
