Information
Date and time SS Information
09.05.2026 23:05 19 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I don't know what kind of show this is. I am very sad to see Josh there. We all fought so hard to day. The afternoon loop was crazy. For us it is good for us to be here.
09.05.2026 22:05 18 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It is hard to guess and once you get more information it will be much easier to drive. I think it is drying out a lot.
09.05.2026 18:05 17 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): That was something unbelievable in places. We were very cautious but we almost got caught in many braking points and bits.
09.05.2026 18:05 16 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It wasn't that bad with the rain actually. It was quite tricky being first as there are many different lines.
09.05.2026 18:05 15 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It was ok. I think the stage is quite similar as the morning. A few places maybe a bit wetter. It is not easy.
09.05.2026 18:05 14 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It wasn't good but it wasn't that bad. Now with the rain you see the shiny stuff and it is like ice. I got caught out there.
09.05.2026 18:05 13 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It was ok. It felt good at some points but I got bit diustracted by the surface changes, so it was not easy.
09.05.2026 18:05 12 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): There was a lot of cleaning and in one place I thought we broke something as I hit the rear left in a narrow place. I think because it was slow we didn't damage anything.
09.05.2026 17:05 11 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Actually it was quite good. I think the expection of it being damp, it was far from that. It was quite ok conditions. Driving first, you have a lot of loose gravel so you have to be precise to keep the momentum.
