Date and time SS 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.
