Information
Date and time SS Information
11.04.2026 23:04 16 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): The beginning was quite narrow with some cuts, but for sure on the wide roads, difficult to get a rhythm with the soft tyres. I don't know what mixture Elfyn had, but yeah, it's difficult to stop them from sort of sliding and overheating, but still a good time. I mean, it's never bad if you're that far away from these guys, so. Okay, we can keep learning and we'll keep getting closer, so that's what we'll try to do.
11.04.2026 23:04 15 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): At least it's quite consistent now. And I'm pretty sure there's some places in there that we could go faster. But yeah, great, clean run and we're enjoying it. We seem to be getting a good rhythm in there without any big drama and the time's quite good. So it was kind of one of those stages where it felt comfortable, so maybe you could then push a bit more if you wanted, which is not a bad place to be.
11.04.2026 23:04 14 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It is pretty annoying to be fair.
11.04.2026 23:04 14 (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): hit a bank
11.04.2026 23:04 14 (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): puncture
11.04.2026 23:04 13 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It was quite a committed stage but towards the end I got out of shape a bit too many times. We had a good push.
11.04.2026 23:04 12 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It is stage that is well known. It was so slippery and I'm happy letting the car glide and slide. I had a good run in there. To be on the same times as the championship leaders is not too bad.
11.04.2026 18:04 10 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It is actually a lot trickier. I'm quite happy with the time to be honest. I'm struggling for general feeling.
11.04.2026 18:04 9 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It didn't feel too bad. It was tricky in the narrow bit. It is diffcult to say where we lost all the time.
