13.03.2026 16:03 10 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Mälkönen Enni): It was easier than yesterday but rough and I met some animals as well. It has been tough but we try to enjoy as much as possible as we never know if we will come back or drive Rally1 cars in the future. Let's try to keep smiling even if it is difficult sometimes.
13.03.2026 15:03 9 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Mälkönen Enni): We had a family of giraffe on the road and the baby was the last one and I dropped to first gear and followed it for 200-300 metres so I lost maybe 15-20 seconds. We lost time but I didn't want to risk anything because of the animal. At the end I just washed out a touched a tree and luckily it was a soft touch.
13.03.2026 15:03 9 (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Mälkönen Enni): meet the giraffe family
13.03.2026 15:03 8 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Mälkönen Enni): I think the next stage will show us. It is more technical and no space to go wide. Over here I can manage, it is so wide. The next two will show of the changes to the car can make it better.
13.03.2026 15:03 7 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Mälkönen Enni): It is junctions and straights, it is not about the handling of the car here. We will see if the car is better or not later on. I do believe we have made a small step better.
13.03.2026 14:03 6 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Mälkönen Enni): I think we knew it already before the rally. The previous one should have been fine but to lose 11 seconds ... The previous stage was made for me and I did it well, but the time was very bad.
13.03.2026 14:03 5 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Mälkönen Enni): It was ok. There was some cows at the beginning that I needed to avoid so I maybe lost one or two seconds. I think I have too much locking on the differential and we cannot change that.
13.03.2026 14:03 4 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Mälkönen Enni): It was very safe. Well part of it is strategy and part of it is I can't make the car turn. I have to drive slowly as I cannot commit at all.
