Information
Date and time SS Information
24.11.2024 05:11 20 flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The stadium has been good, bit more difficult for the hard tyres. [We] made a bet before the stage saying loser buys a beer, so he owes me a beer now! Still one to go yet.
24.11.2024 02:11 19 flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I've done a lot of work with Škoda Motorsport so I know what tempterature Arai's differential can go to, I think he'll be fine. Fine stage, nice and easy through, no stress. Japan is one of my favourite places to come to, always very happy to be here, I have enjoyed the stages this time more than the other times we did this.
24.11.2024 01:11 18 flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Like every year of my rallying career, it goes very quickly. It feels like I was just in Kenya. We are taking it nice and easy. Every stage is challenging, you have to be very aware, already in the beginning there were some places that were pulling out water.
23.11.2024 15:11 16 flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was a nice run, a lot more grip than the first time around. The Škoda is working well... that's two wins in a row isn't it?
23.11.2024 15:11 15 flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Tyre pressure was all wrong, went off pretty quickly. The tyres were gone very, very quickly.
23.11.2024 14:11 14 flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was better this time without a spin, but that corner is still very slippery. The hard tyres took a long time to heat up. If I wouldn't have hit a rock face it would've been a battle for a podium but there it is.
23.11.2024 14:11 13 flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was nice, a bit tricky. Understeering quite a lot with the hard tyre so I need to make some small setup changes. Other than that, good.
22.11.2024 13:11 9 flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's not the day that we wanted but we are still in the fight and the podium is a realistic thing, we need to get the car straight again and we'll be alright. The opening stage tomorrow is very, very technical and very unforgiving.
22.11.2024 01:11 3 flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): There was a braking, we had damp, so slippery and I lost the rear and hit the corner.
22.11.2024 01:11 3 (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): was out of road
22.11.2024 00:11 2 flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Not easy for sure, the grip is changing quite a bit. Some places it was alright but some places there was quite a bit of time left in places there. I would have said four soft would be the best in there but the guys with the hards made it look easy.
21.11.2024 13:11 1 flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's great when they have head to heads, they are so much better. I wish they had more, very enjoyable. It is mega, quite a few fans turned up.
