| INFORMATION ABOUT SS 5 | |
| (7 - Reuche Laurent / Deriaz Jean): puncture | |
(39 - Gillet Olivier / Helfer Frédéric):
The special stage of "Les Cols" was long and tough with quite broken asphalt, which doesn't suit the Clio R3C. In the next one [SS 5], it was even worth. I thought to myself we need gravel tyres or a 4-wheel drive car! So we'll see what our rivals have done but I'm quite happy because I didn't make any mistakes and we didn't collect a puncture. So it was not too bad. At the end of SS 5, there was a huge water spray, which justifies the interruption of the stage. The problem is that we had to wait for some 20 minutes and we started with cold brakes and cold tyres. | |
|
(34 - Burri Michaël / Rey Stéphane):
Seven kilometres into SS4, we felt the brakes were not working. We carried on but we had to stop and we realised that it was in fact a damper that was broken and it tore a brake pipe away. We didn't hit anything though. So we think it was a faulty shock absorber. We had a nice fight with Olivier Gillet and also with Olivier... Burri, which was great. | |
|
(15 - Burri Olivier / Klinger Nicolas):
This morning, in the long stage, I had to change my driving style because with this car, on very long distances, you cannot use the left foot to brake otherwise, the brakes would lose efficiency. So I had to learn again to brake with the right foot, which I'm not used to. In the following stage, I made a mistake in a hairpin and I nearly rolled. I had to wait for the spectators to push the car to get back onto the road. Finally, in SS 5, we saw the yellow flags deployed and I lost my concentration, hit a stone and collected a puncture. Fortunately, this had no consequences since the stage was suspended due to the pipe broken by Sousa. | |
|
(15 - Burri Olivier / Klinger Nicolas):
We had a difficult start to the rally. When you start a stage and you are told that there has been an accident and your son started the stage just few minutes before, you are obviously worried. Then when we knew it was Florian Gonon, it was bad news since both are very good friends of mine. Then in SS2, we could hardly find the right rhythm and in SS3, my driving was very bad as I was hitting banks all the time and I made a lot of mistakes. | |
| Yellow flag for cars 2, 4, 12 and 15 due to water leak from hydrant. | |
| (5 - Sousa Bernardo / Babo Paolo): crashed into hydrant | |
|
(10 - Radoux Jean-Philippe / Gregoire Jean-Noël):
The first stage yesterday was Ok. The second one - Montana - is one that I hate so, no comment. Then we had a puncture just before the start of "Les Casernes" [SS3] so I had to change it and the spare tyre was new, which means that we had no grip and we spun. This morning, in the long one, I overshot a junction but I didn't lose much time. | |
|
(8 - Althaus Nicolas / Lugon Mahïray):
We have some hard time, especially in the gravel sections. I had the impression I couldn't drive properly on this surface. But we made up time on the asphalt where we were going flat out. We've been lucky our rivals hit trouble. We were three fighting for the Swiss Rally Championship. We were both under pressure and sometimes it's kind of a lottery because it's very easy to make a mistake. We need to be very careful as cutting too much corners can easily make you lose a lot of time if you collect a puncture. Now only two of us are still in contention. Reuche lost time but I think he will attack to try and catch us. | |
|
(6 - Ballinari Ivan / Pianca Paolo):
In the first stage this morning, the fuel pressure warning lamp lit up. Then the car was misfiring all the time and we had to drive all the downhill section in neutral. So for us the race is over, the Swiss championship is over. I think we did our best but luck was not on our side. That's rallying. | |
|
(5 - Sousa Bernardo / Babo Paolo):
We are leading the rally but there's still a long way to go. This morning in the first long special stage, I was a little bit too cautious because there was a lot of gravel and the brakes were failing towards the end. In the second one, it was a bit better, even though there were still a lot of gravel portions and the local drivers were more comfortable with that. However, it appeared that we were fast enough to make the difference. At the end of SS 5, I slid wide and hit a water pipe but I didn't lose time [After this incident, the stage was interrupted for several minutes to stop the water flowing onto the road]. | |
|
(1 - Rossetti Luca / Chiarcossi Matteo):
We lost the alternator belt strainer and this left us without alternator and without power-steering on the road section after SS 4. It's a real pity because we had set a good time in the stage and now that the European Championship is over, we wanted to celebrate our title with a win here. However, I will stay here for Saturday's big party! | |
