Information
Date and time SS Information
16.02.2025 17:02 18 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We wanted to try and I think we had a really efficient stage except on a braking point. When the rut is so deep, the tyre cannot enter it so low, so even with the handbrake it is hard to get out. We need to be faster on the opening stage on Friday because it ruined the rest of the weekend, but that's how it is. It's our fault and we learn from it. At least from that one [stage], we did not overshoot a junction or stall the engine. It is better than last year.
16.02.2025 16:02 17 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): The lines are really, really bad so I backed off as there is nothing to play for. We have a trouble-free event so far, not the performance we wanted to show but this is due to our first stage on Friday. We have a clean event and want to save the tyres for the last one.
16.02.2025 16:02 16 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Really nice stage with a bit of everything, bit fast and quite narrow in the beginning. It gets way faster at a T-right junction. The end is a bit slippery, lots of loose snow so really slippery for the last 4km.
16.02.2025 16:02 15 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): For sure it was a tricky afternoon. We felt it is our best loop so far on Rally Sweden. We did not have the start position to do anything. If anything, our driving has changed. I said yesterday I didn't know where to find the seconds. We have worked with the engineers, so some positives.
16.02.2025 16:02 14 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It is super loose, I am really enjoying the driving and so on, but we want to compete with one another but the starting position makes it impossible. without the 20sec time loss on Friday we would not be opening the road today.
16.02.2025 16:02 13 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): No grip so when you are driving quite fast, it is crazy. Hit some snow banks, probably not the most efficient, but because of the road position not a lot we can do. There is no grip on the rear, loose snow. Initially you are in the ruts and the rear is just on vacation.
16.02.2025 16:02 12 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): For me it was everywhere. You have a bit of a rut to keep the front in but the rear is always getting in the loose stuff, the lines are quite bad.I had a really good stage. I was quite happy with my driving, I think we were really efficient out of the corner, the rear was sliding a lot but there was a balance. I felt it was good.
16.02.2025 15:02 11 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): The first pass was quite slippery, still a lot of loose stone. Did one third of the stage then it is a bit better, then we exited the stage to do a gymkhana. It is not my favourite one, it is very fast corners. But it is a mix of everything.
16.02.2025 15:02 10 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I was trying a bit, some corners I was a bit too gentle and some others a bit too fast. It is top three favourite stages in the calendar. It is some damn fast. You have a lot of crests, you need to find the limit of the speed and carry it into the corner.
16.02.2025 14:02 9 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's tricky, yesterday I think being in front in the morning was an advantage but here you have 4-5cm of overnight snowfall. With Serderidis line, sometimes it is there, sometimes it is not.
16.02.2025 05:02 8 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Honestly, I had a good stage, really efficient. didn't overshoot anything. I don't know how they get that much traction, there is no clue how they gain 6.9sec.
16.02.2025 04:02 7 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I wouldn't say this stage is in darkness, judging the grip is really tricky. The first stage is really good grip, but the previous one and this one is tricky. The studs are moving and not driving. I tried to play something with the previous one and have a better tyre than this one. I don't know if that was the best movement. It's all the same.
16.02.2025 04:02 6 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): The grip is nowhere in the stage, I started like the previous one and had three or four moments in the stage. The previous one you had a lot of tyre management, when you are not on the front it is difficult because there is a lot of gravel.
16.02.2025 04:02 5 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): The feeling with the car is great, tyre wear is quite important, some places you have to trust the car will turn in. I am happy where we are with the car.
14.02.2025 13:02 4 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We found something, maybe we went too far into a direction with the setup but at least we know we are learning. It is getting messy and narrow. We just tried to get more rotation initially, I am not heavy on the inputs, so before I wanted the car to turn. Maybe gone a bit too far with it now.
14.02.2025 13:02 3 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We changed some things and the feeling is much better. there is still some room for improvement for sure. We changed the balance, I am not someone who is too aggressive on the steering wheel to make the car turn. If you can improve on the settings then it will help the car turn.
14.02.2025 13:02 2 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I am struggling with the balance of the car, we don't manage to get rotation before the corner, then we have slight understeer and can't get out of the line. We knew it would be difficult but we are just trying. There are things we can do.
13.02.2025 19:02 1 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I don't manage to find grip, it was the same on the shakedown. We'll see what we can do.
