Information
Date and time SS Information
30.05.2026 23:05 14 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I'm very pleased with the afternoon loop in general. I was hoping to find more pace and that's exactly what we did. Taking a couple of stage wins, from that side it's really okay.
30.05.2026 23:05 12 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): We need to find out what Seb and Elfyn are doing. Obviously they are normally really quick and pushing still, so I don't know, but it was quite a nice stage.
30.05.2026 23:05 11 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): At least this was really nice. It was super clean and ok.
30.05.2026 23:05 9 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is quite decent but still I need to find something to be somehow better. It is ok but I feel I need to do better.
30.05.2026 23:05 8 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Not so great feeling somehow. I need to try to do some changes to make it better.
30.05.2026 22:05 7 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): If the condition remains dry, I believe it's super tricky to catch the cars in front, which is a shame. But we need to keep some pace. You never know what's gonna happen, and still there are some guys behind me not so far away, so need to keep proper pace.
