Information
Date and time SS Information
04.05.2013 18:05 14 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): We tried as best as we could, it was my first time on this stage, there are a lot of places where we could have gone faster. For the weekend, it has been a good weekend for us.
04.05.2013 17:05 13 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): It is not easy, I was probably pushing a little bit too hard if I want to go fast on the power stage next.
04.05.2013 15:05 12 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): No problems, I am learning the stages, it is new for me. No big mistakes. It was fantastic stage, I really struggled with my pacenotes here so I did not feel comfortable.
04.05.2013 14:05 11 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Everything is ok, a very tricky stage, the first time I do it. I retired in this stage last year. So far so good.
03.05.2013 21:05 8 retired (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): technical problem - suspension after SS 8
03.05.2013 20:05 8 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): We hit something. I was so lucky over a bridge, I hit a bridge a little bit.
03.05.2013 15:05 7 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): After 10 kms I was struggling with some understeering, it was not easy.
03.05.2013 14:05 6 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): It is a good start. Really fast stage, really rough in some places. I tried to save the car. I am happy so far. It is strange on the long straights, if you drive in the lines it is harder for the car to pick up speed, if you are out of the lines it is ok.
02.05.2013 21:05 5 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Even now it was worse through. I think I tried to save tyres too much, I lost a lot of time. I lost also in the foggy section where I did not have enough confidence.
02.05.2013 20:05 4 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): It was better, I tried to save tyres as much as possible for the next one, it is a long stage.
02.05.2013 15:05 3 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Quite tricky with the fog. Clean stage, nothing really special to report. No dust, raining for a while and wipers stopped to work for a while.
01.05.2013 21:05 1 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): I must say we really enjoyed this nice stage. We have good memories to it from last year. It is good way to start a rally.
