Information
Date and time SS Information
24.01.2025 18:01 9 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Exactly, obviously really tricky day, I know many many things where to improve, but I have solely the mindset that I want to be clean and fill up with confidence and knowledge, then speed up. It is still going towards the plan. Let's see, somehow the days in the morning were very step-by-step and the day is a bit cautious.
24.01.2025 17:01 8 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Well I think it is all about taking all the experience we can. Again, the first time to be on such a condition with these tyres. A lot to learn, a lot to do better, but it always about experience. It is interesting, I must say. Quite tricky but you think it is more tricky than it actually is, so it is about finding the balance.
24.01.2025 16:01 7 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): No big drama, just quite tricky, not having flow and nothing really wrong but not feeling quite good with my driving.
24.01.2025 12:01 6 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): We went a bit wide on one corner, at least for me it was just quite a big surprise. Really slippery place, grip was changing a lot. Bit too fast in one corner, slide up the bank a bit, nothing more. Maybe 5km to the finish.
24.01.2025 12:01 6 (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): was out of road, puncture
24.01.2025 10:01 4 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It's really tricky to say, I was sure I had a puncture halfway through the stage. I backed off a lot and felt like I was going really slow. Strange. For me, it was not so bad, quite consistent, slippery. Not so many big surprises, actually quite fun sliding around. A big shame that I thought we had something wrong.
