Information
Date and time SS Information
24.11.2024 12:11 21 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Really nice, super under control and a great ending to the season. I want to thank everyone involved. Thanks for letting us use the special livery for the event, thanks to Citroën, thanks to family. Everyone as usual, the race comes perfectly. It's my dream still to drive a Rally1 car, so if possible I will take the possibility.
24.11.2024 05:11 20 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It's been a superb weekend, still one stage to go. It was a pleasure to drive with the world champion.
24.11.2024 02:11 19 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I just was more gentle on the braking, if I start to drive slow it will be in the corner more early. Everything is more gentle. I was taking more caution on the road. I was sometimes awaiting some parts of the car which was on the road. It is nervous because we have the car but I don't want to have a puncture so I am slalom on the stones.
24.11.2024 01:11 18 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): For us, it was a clean run, no rush. The first stage was quite tricky, easy to do a mistake. If I will be in a fight it will be enjoyable to push properly on the Wolf Power Stage.
23.11.2024 15:11 16 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Good day, kept it in our control, no risk at all. Second pass was nice. Also some information to the drivers behind, the roundabout is really slippery. Maybe this will help someone.
23.11.2024 14:11 15 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Just some small issue in the middle of the stage, I have a good gap so I slowed down. It was the brain! Everything going okay.
23.11.2024 14:11 14 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It was good, really nice flow and much better to drive on the hard tyres on these kind of stages.
23.11.2024 14:11 13 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It was the same as the first pass, really slippery. The gravel crew is doing a good job on this stage. There were places where people were cutting more. It is hard to know what to expect on these corners. Nice run, no need to push, just be clean. Car is working well, so just looking to enjoy.
23.11.2024 03:11 11 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I expected more dry, but it was really slippery a few times. I lost the line a lot, there was a lot of mud where I was not expecting. The rest was okay, on the dirty places it was not easy.
23.11.2024 01:11 10 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The stage overall is really nice, but it is really slippery. It feels like there is nothing under the ground. As we have the gap, I decide to calm down and [use] the first stage to wake up a little bit.
22.11.2024 13:11 9 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The car is helping me, like I said at CER, I do what it asks me to do and we work together. We have the experience for the future also. Tomorrow is a new day, we will see what the weather does for tomorrow. Now it is cloudy, in the mountains where it is cloudy there might be a few drops, I hope so.
22.11.2024 02:11 4 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I cannot say it is tricky, compared to last year it is much easier. Some places where the guys are touching the side of the road is quite dirty. Was nice driving in a slow part, but we had to be a bit cautious.
22.11.2024 01:11 3 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Maybe Pajari is like me, speaking too much in interviews! I managed okay, a little bit scary. I think the tyre choice is good, but the grip is quite surprising. In some places it seems like people are touching the grass and going out on the road. I think we need to be more confident. Still it is nice, but I need small things to change.
22.11.2024 00:11 2 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I am not sure it was the correct tyre decision, it was okay but just scary. I tried to be fast on the muddy sections. I had a few moments. On the next stages I will feel better for sure, I need to check the car and continue. Just need to check everything and be clean.
21.11.2024 13:11 1 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I was feeling nice, not difficult to push on this stage because of the concrete. The roundabout was nice, that jump was easy and you don't have to worry about damaging anything.
