Information
Date and time SS Information
16.02.2025 17:02 18 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I don't know what to say. Thanks to the team and many people sending messages last night, Séb Ogier and all the guys. We tried to stay on the road, we did quite well actually. Unfortunately I was not able to find the victory this time, Elfyn did a great stage time on the last one, so hats off to Elfyn. This time I wanted to stay on the road and bring her back. I wanted to do a good job for the team. I am disappointed I didn't win, but it is okay this timne.
16.02.2025 16:02 17 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I was trying to be very clean, fortunately I have been doing a very good job, so let's see. I need to focus on Wolf Power Stage, too clean drive. Maybe I could push much more here.
16.02.2025 16:02 16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): That's good, I was very clean. A few places are quite slippery, more than expected. Still I can push but maybe I don't need to.
16.02.2025 16:02 15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Really the gap is three seconds? Everyone was quite quick in this one, I don't know what to think. I just wanna finish. Let's see. For sure, I am very hungry for many things but I have seen myself many times too hungry.
16.02.2025 16:02 14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Of course a bit disappointing on the first stage of the loop to stall. We expected Thierry to be quick on this one but I did a quick one also. Let's see what we can do tomorrow. We need to find something more than today. I will try to do my best and that's it.
16.02.2025 16:02 13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's okay, tricky in places. Loose snow. Nothing special. The car is okay, it could be better. In this condition, I didn't drive a second pass through the stages last year so I was not sure how tough it was going to be.
16.02.2025 16:02 12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I overshot and backed up, I don't know how much I lost. It was a stupid mistake but this is the first time I made a mistake this weekend so it is okay. I want to continue on. I feel very confident we can get the time back and will try not to make a mistake again.
16.02.2025 16:02 12 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): was out of road
16.02.2025 15:02 11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's okay, need to fix the feeling. Better than the last one but still not a good feeling. Tell me why I don't have the feeling. You can ask everybody, please tell me when you have a correct answer!
16.02.2025 15:02 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I really struggled to drive this car in this stage, it was very bad. Massive understeer, so bad.
16.02.2025 14:02 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's a very strange stage, I expected grip in places but they are creating ice in places. Traction is very poor. Quite nice run, but still could be cleaner.
16.02.2025 05:02 8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Long way to go. It's good, tomorrow we will start in quite similar places. It will be interesting, I try to keep like this and we will see if I need to push or not. No drama, no pushing, we will see.
16.02.2025 04:02 7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is quite icy, we already did a bit of a mistake on the last one I think. We could do better but it is not good.
16.02.2025 04:02 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is very different and I stalled on the stage. Lost a bit, but the tyres feel slightly strange. Lots of drivers put new tyres on for this one.
16.02.2025 04:02 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's good, just continue like this. It's good.
14.02.2025 13:02 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's okay for the morning, just need to focus for the afternoon. All good, no drama, no pushing, just very stable. I don't know about this one, but other stages will develop for sure.
14.02.2025 13:02 3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's okay, quite messy. Very, very slippery because of the loose snow out of the line. New and tricky stage, I was quite careful. Still, time is okay.
14.02.2025 13:02 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Very, very slippery. Some places got worse but some places got better. We are not in the best starting position but much better than yesterday, so I am happy. I wanted to be safe, nothing else why he picked two spare tyres.
13.02.2025 19:02 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The stage is quite broken. Tomorrow's stage is quite different, hopefully not like this. Didn't feel so good.
