Information
Date et temps ES Information
31.08.2026 15:08 20 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): At the moment driving to the end I knew there was some quite a bit of damage and you don’t know fully if you can repair it. It has pulled event the damper out of its mount. I’m really frustrated as we didn’t have too much to fight for, we were back in seventh which would be a good position for us. Where we went wide was just surface changed to the sandy surface and there was small bump in the right hander and when we went over the bump the front wheels touched again and the front just washed out. You can try to go closer in those scenarios but if you do that in every corner you will drop 30 seconds. That is the hard part to understand what the strategy would be. I’m struggling to get a clean finish at the minute.
31.08.2026 15:08 20 retired (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): retired after SS 20
31.08.2026 15:08 20 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): There was a lot less grip than we were expected and we touched the bank with the left rear. We will see if we can continue.
31.08.2026 15:08 20 (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): damaged suspension
31.08.2026 15:08 19 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): Not too bad. I think for sure we could go faster but we felt quite efficient with the grip we had. Overall we are happy with the run. We are feeling we are running away from the rain as it is getting darker.
31.08.2026 15:08 18 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): At the end it is just a man made road which is slow and technical. It was quite slippery and there was some mud getting dragged out. So it's maybe getting a little bit slower, but I was probably not being as efficient in those areas as what we could be. I was trying to be neat and tidy and not sort of push too much and then get a little bit stuck on the outside in the real boggy mud. It looks like Seb did a good job in there.
31.08.2026 15:08 17 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It was very, very slippery, and maybe I just didn't make the best use of the grip that was available, but some of the corners in the middle it was just like glass. And even on the Tarmac I was struggling a bit to have some rhythm. So yeah, that's a wee bit too much to lose, for sure.
31.08.2026 15:08 16 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It was good. It is a little bit tricky with the ruts in there as they are soft. They can zap your speed coming out of the corners. It was ok. I don't know if it will be a good time. We tried to manage our tyres.
31.08.2026 15:08 15 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It was okay. Once you get into the rhythm, it balances itself out a little bit, but I just tried to go into full tyre saving mode in that run, just tried to really look after everything. So yeah, it's a really tough loop for tyre wear, and yeah, we've got one more proper stage through and then a spectator stage. So yeah, just tried to not push at all really.
31.08.2026 14:08 12 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): This stage was actually quite damp in places. There was maybe more grip than what we used. We had a pretty good run overall this morning has been quite good, let's see what the afternoon brings.
31.08.2026 14:08 11 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It is quite nice stage and the grip was not too bad to be honest. There was some slippy bits but we had a good run. We are all waiting for the weather to change but at the minute it has not been too bad.
31.08.2026 14:08 10 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It is very slippery in there. There is so much less grip than the first stage. We put on some older tyres on the rear so we though that was the reason, but I think the stage has really low grip.
31.08.2026 14:08 8 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It's not been our day, but it's been a tough day for a lot of people. Obviously very frustrated because we're trying to chase a solid result, and it's not been coming our way at all throughout the year. We know we can do it, but we need everything to go together. So it's been tricky, but I just want to say thanks to the team, all the boys and girls that put it back together at service, because they put in a big effort. We'll see now what to tomorrow brings, because it's going to be a totally different challenge.
31.08.2026 14:08 7 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): I don"t know if anyone know where I can buy some luck or rhythm. I tried to drive very carefully. We got a puncture on some bump and immediately it was flat. It is not so enjoyable. Maybe we can claw the time back with some weather that is coming tomorrow.
31.08.2026 14:08 7 (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): puncture
31.08.2026 14:08 6 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): We didn't have a lot of grip and my handbrake is not working. It makes me realise how much understeer we have. We are just trying to survive.
31.08.2026 13:08 5 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): Team did a great job to get us back out There was quite a lot of stuff to repair. Now we have to be even more careful. We will just try and survive.
31.08.2026 02:08 4 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): The car's still running. We're just a little bit worried about water temperature and we've no power because we've damaged the front, so we'll try and get service now and fix it.
31.08.2026 02:08 3 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It was so stupid there was random rock at the side of the road and the tyre went down straight away. I started to lose the brakes and spun on the downhill. It was a complete disaster but we will keep going.
31.08.2026 02:08 3 (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): spun
31.08.2026 02:08 2 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): We had a pretty clean run. After the first stage we had a lot of tyre wear so we tried to be efficient and smooth with everything. We are not really pushing but our road position helps us.
31.08.2026 02:08 1 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It was little bit more tricky than I expected. There are the shiny places and we had some understeer. We are here but it is getting quite rough in there already.
