Date and time SS Information
16.02.2025 16:02 15 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It was a heavy landing after the jump! I backed up a little, neck hurts! The cars can really fly. So far it has been okay, took this one quite steady. Now we get the service, long stages to go.
16.02.2025 16:02 14 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I had to reverse in a junction with the braking. At first it felt good, but when you get into the ruts, it doesn't stop. I'm thinking maybe I should have kept it more wide, it was too narrow to drive into a snow bank and reverse. I tried but I think we dropped at least five seconds.
16.02.2025 16:02 14 (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): spun
16.02.2025 16:02 13 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It was really tricky, in some places you can find some grip but under the braking it is like wheewww. Today we are having a really nice battle with Sami Pajari. Brings back some Junior WRC memories. At that time we get a point for a stage win.
16.02.2025 16:02 12 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): The first half, we overshot the junction. The first one was really slippery under the braking. I think we found a good rhythm on the second half of the stage.
16.02.2025 15:02 11 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): They're so different these stages today, compared to yesterday,. We found a really good feeling yesterday and these stages are really fast in some places, like you are driving on the limit. I am still struggling to keep the fast pace in the fast corners, today is all about fast corners! There are lots of unknown things, the road getting wider, getting narrower, snow. It is really cool and I am really grateful for this opportunity that we get to drive here and everything, it is really cool and an a really cool car.
16.02.2025 15:02 10 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): The first stage was quite fast and we took it quite steady, this one had some places where we were like 'we were gonna end up somewhere', then we back off. I still need to find the perfect balance. You just turn the wheel and hope for something! I am scared but when Renārs is scared... normally 90 percent of the time he isn't but that five percent means big trouble.
16.02.2025 14:02 9 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It wasn't that bad, there was predicted a lot of snow but it was not bad at the end. We were a bit steady. Not the best run I would say.
