Information
Date and time SS Information
11.04.2026 17:04 8 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): The competition is so tough that you need to push. I was enjoying the afternoon a lot, the morning was not straight forward. It is only one day done. It has been a pleasure to drive. It leading is good news but there is still a long way to go.
11.04.2026 17:04 6 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Controlling would be way too soon at the moment. At the same time, I'm trying to balance not to take too many risks and keep a good pace. This was quite comfortable, but the stage is not so easy. Taka? I think everyone will be doing the best they can, that's what rallying is about.
11.04.2026 17:04 5 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It's quite messy in there. Very nice and clean drive. I just tried to keep a flow like we have now. If the pace is like this it should be fine.
11.04.2026 16:04 4 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Maybe not the position I was expecting after the first loop, but i'm not complaining. I still feel I can improve on the other stages. It's not easy, but I was confident we had a good plan to go with the hard tyre.
11.04.2026 08:04 3 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): That was the second stage of the loop where I'm less than a minute to the start and I hear someone is off, not good encouragement to start the stage with. Solid run, nothing crazy.
11.04.2026 08:04 2 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I thought someone was making a burnout because I smelled rubber. Much more polluted than the first one. Not so happy with my driving, but the time is okay.
10.04.2026 10:04 1 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is getting tricky like we saw with Oliver off the road. I hope they are ok. There is pollution here and there, so of course it is easier for Elfyn. I'm not quite happy with my driving. I need to improve. I need to maybe switch off the brain to improve.
