Information
Date and time SS Information
11.04.2026 23:04 16 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It started off alright but then we had to change the plan a bit. We have been walking on egg shells. It is diffiicult when you are driving to avoid a puncture.
11.04.2026 23:04 15 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Obviously our situation has changed a lot this afternoon. So especially now with the puncture and the damaged wheel on the last one, we really just have to get through and, you know, just try and drive out of all the cuts. The problem with that is that you put yourself on the loose, so you almost increase the risk sometimes. I just want to get through today and make sure we've got all four wheels on the wagon when we get back.
11.04.2026 23:04 14 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It is lottery in there for punctures. You are hitting rocks everywhere because you have to, to follow the clean line.
11.04.2026 23:04 13 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It is just another day in the office. We have to keep it neat on tidy. This stage is like Finland on tarmac, you can have fun in this one.
11.04.2026 23:04 12 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): The conditions are bit more consistent in here but slippery throuhgout. I put the soft tyres back on and it was alright. It is a shame to see Adrien parked up.
11.04.2026 18:04 11 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): There is a lot of gravel on the road. I tried something with the tyre choice and it didn't work at all. We had no turn in at all.
11.04.2026 18:04 10 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): This was quite slippery with a bit of slime on the road.
11.04.2026 18:04 9 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): There are a lot of leaves on the road. It makes it really hard to read the grip as you can't see what is under the leaves. We were way too tentative but we were not sure of the grip. We are forever learning.
