Information
Date and time SS Information
02.08.2026 15:08 20 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Very strange feeling, I do not know what to say, very long weekend, a lot of drama for everyone, we struggled a lot, the others had issues, I am very happy to be here. Even if it ended this way, I have to take it.
02.08.2026 15:08 19 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is a really long stage maybe there was no reason to go slow. Simply there were many places I was being careful. It is a nice stage and it is all under control.
01.08.2026 18:08 18 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Nice stage. I'm still enjoying it. Obviously all the aftrenoon is about trying to manage the speed. Even this stage I still enjoyed it. There are two more long stages to do. Anything can still happen.
01.08.2026 18:08 17 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is ok. The working environment is doing really great if you can make jokes. This was a really beautiful stage I really enjoyed it.
01.08.2026 18:08 16 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): The car is really amazing. I still enjoy every corner with this beast. It was a good run, really clean and nothing special. It is what it is. I feel that I'm not 100% after the lunch. We are sending messages to Seb that we're pushing, but we're not. Need to keep the pressure on.
01.08.2026 18:08 15 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Can we make a deal? Honestly I don't think it is realistic to catch him but if stage reporter say to Sebastien Ogier that Sami is full on it, then we can maybe keep the pressure on him.
01.08.2026 17:08 14 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is really tight., Anyway this morning I was flat out all the time. It was one of the best loops ever in a rally car in the case of pure enjoyment. It is really nice but it not easy to catch him Evans.
01.08.2026 17:08 13 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): That is the way it is. I had a really good stage. I was not expecting to have some much cleaning effect today. What a stage! It was beautiful and crazy at the same time. That is the best rally driving.
01.08.2026 17:08 12 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I think I was bit too careful on a couple of jumps and I was wide in a place as well but nothing major. It was a mega stage.
01.08.2026 17:08 12 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is a really, really unique and special stage. It is still one of the best especially in the reverse direction which was new for me. I enjoyed the challenge and it was more enjoybale actually, The feeling was ok at least.
01.08.2026 16:08 11 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It was good. It was not perfect there were maybe a few tneths I left in there. We need to keep pushing and try to enjoy it.
01.08.2026 15:08 10 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): We lost the game basically for the win on that one stage this afternoon. We were a bit unlucky. It's like one of those issues. The blower wasn't working, and we didn't realise it, so we had a full mist on the windscreen. It's really, really a big shame, but anyway, still we are in a fight for the podium positions and I hope we can catch Elfyn, but also I think Oliver is trying to catch us, so it'll be proper driving also tomorrow.
01.08.2026 15:08 9 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I believe Elfyn was really pushing hard. I did a solid stage. It should have been even better. There were quite many surprises. One more to go today.
01.08.2026 15:08 7 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Some sections are really tricky to see forwards because the rain is so heavy. I hope we didn't lose too much.
01.08.2026 12:08 6 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I don't know, it's a weird feeling because I felt extremely slow on the stage. I don't know why. It's like maybe one of those stages you are everywhere flat out, so you would like to have even more power to go faster.
01.08.2026 04:08 5 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): We tried to push. It was proper sidways some times. Even though it is a short stage it was one of the most tricky in the rally. I tried to push, let's see if its enough.
01.08.2026 04:08 4 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): There is some cleaning in some places but maybe it is not so much. I had a good stage. I cannot say anything else. It felt nice but was not fast enough.
01.08.2026 04:08 3 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): That is all I can do. I really tried to make a good stage. I hope it is enough as I don't have much more. It is early in the rally but you need to be on it.
01.08.2026 04:08 2 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is not easy I felt I did good in some sections but others sections it weas not so clean. I hope it is an ok start. Let' see how the raod improves for the cars behind.
30.07.2026 23:07 1 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is always a tricky stage. It is a really special one to drive. I tried to make a good time but it is not so easy. We are ready for the action tomorrow morning, bring it on.
