Information
Date and time SS Information
26.07.2026 17:07 15 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Well, I tried absolutely everything possible, to be honest now. Yeah, it was a huge fight. Let's see who's faster in the millisecond, but yeah, it was a nice race. I have to really be thankful to my team, for sure, all the partners, MRF tyres, and definitely my family, my girlfriend, and everybody who was involved, because it was such a nice race.
26.07.2026 15:07 14 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): It was not an easy stage and we tried to push because we know William and Philip, are quite close, but I can see that something happened to Philip. So sorry for that, and, but yeah, I really tried to push and now one more stage, so we need to stay focused because it is definitely not gonna be easy.
26.07.2026 15:07 13 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Oh yeah, definitely it's hot, but it's all fine, I would say. I didn't expect so many cuts and so many stones being out of the road, so a lot of dust and a lot of stones being on the road, so it was quite difficult to predict where it will be.
26.07.2026 14:07 12 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Thanks to my mechanic Míša, because he a little bit pushed me to do it and it was a good idea, so thank you. But anyway, it was good. It was such a beautiful stage, so we tried to push. It wasn't easy, but yeah, we made it through. A few moments, but nothing serious.
26.07.2026 14:07 11 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): You need to be a little bit crazy for this stage, and in a good way, Philip is definitely. So, I know he will push quite hard. It will be not easy, not easy fight with him, I think. We'll push again in another loop, but we will do everything best possible. It was a nice stage, beautiful, long stage.
26.07.2026 10:07 10 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Well, here it was a lot of flat places on the smooth tarmac where I need to know where you have to be before the corner and how much of the speed you can carry into that corner. So sometimes I brake too much, then I realize I could go flat out probably, so that's the points where we are losing the time a bit, but yeah, we are here and that's the most important thing.
26.07.2026 08:07 9 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Definitely I'm happy because this is not a stage for me. The clean, really fast circuit racing, it's something what I'm missing here. But anyway, it was a good stage. There are much more cuts than I expected, to be honest, on a stage like this. But, yeah, beautiful stages are ahead of us. We have to keep focused because they know the stages well. It's the same as 2024. So, we have to push.
25.07.2026 22:07 7 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): This is such a beautiful stage, to be honest. You have pretty much everything there. So, yeah, you need to be really patient. And probably this morning I was a little bit more aggressive. Now it was slightly a little bit better. I didn't use the handbrake so much as the morning, so, yep, probably it was cool. I have to say thanks to my team and also MRF Tyres that, yeah, we can drive like this and hopefully we will increase our pace.
25.07.2026 22:07 5 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): We had a lot of vibration because I touched the bank with the left rear, so probably there should be a lot of dust and mud, and it was vibrating a lot. But I didn't expect the time so bad like this, so don't know what is happening, but yeah, I'm pushing.
25.07.2026 09:07 2 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): If you know very well this stage, for sure you know the places where you can push, for us it was a new stage, let's say, and sometimes I've been a little bit cautious, but I think we made a pretty good job for the first pass, to be honest. I'm quite happy with what we've done, but yeah, for sure there's room to improve.
24.07.2026 23:07 1 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): I wish for it, but I think everybody who's taking their helmet on before the stage, they are pushing, so it will be definitely not an easy weekend. Definitely we can go a bit more faster here. I was too cautious for the gravel and it was sliding a little bit because the temperature is not so, not so high, but anyway, it was kind of okay. Let's hope the time will be at least in top 15.
