29. 06. 2013 15:29 CET 13 flash info (5 - Loix Freddy / Miclotte Fréderic): Perfect, this was the easiest stage until now.
29. 06. 2013 15:27 CET 13 flash info (6 - Bouffier Bryan / Vanneste Lara): OK, we tried to push. Craig is going flatout and very quick. This is not my favourite rally and I want to finish.
29. 06. 2013 15:24 CET 13 flash info (8 - Aigner Andreas / Heigl Jürgen): Quite good, I like to superspecials here, it's good fun people. Our team did perfect job in previous service, now we are going to put it back 100% condition.

29. 06. 2013 14:40 CET 12 flash info (11 - Bonnefis Germain / Fournier Olivier): Good stage. I think we chose the soft tyres and maybe it was not a good choice.

29. 06. 2013 13:49 CET 11 flash info (12 - Tlusťák Antonín / Škaloud Jan): Stage OK for us, lot of mud in cuts, but it's the same all day. Today better driving from us.
29. 06. 2013 13:48 CET 11 flash info (11 - Bonnefis Germain / Fournier Olivier): OK for us, maybe my favourite stage.

29. 06. 2013 12:00 CET 10 flash info (4 - Sołowow Michał / Rozwadowski Sebastian): It's partly gravel rally, especially in the forest. Lot of fun, lot of sideways.

29. 06. 2013 11:34 CET 9 flash info (6 - Bouffier Bryan / Vanneste Lara): It's OK, I'm trying to make up some time. The car is working perfectly, but the muddy places are tricky.

29. 06. 2013 11:15 CET 8 flash info (1 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It was strange, on the crossing of the roads in the field we could see Hayden going towards us, but it was OK, just strange a bit.

29. 06. 2013 11:04 CET 8 flash info (6 - Bouffier Bryan / Vanneste Lara): It was OK. I have to say that we are bit under pressure because we had some electrical problem on the road section, the engine completely stopped. I hope it will be OK until service.
29. 06. 2013 11:02 CET 8 flash info (15 - Pajunen Mikko / Perälä Janne): We had a spin.
29. 06. 2013 11:00 CET 7 flash info (2 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Lot nicer than yesterday, some places were muddy, the grip was changing, but OK.

28. 06. 2013 20:41 CET 4 flash info (16 - Debackere Melissa / Cokelaere Cindy): Same like first time, it's very slippery. I don't have very good feeling with the new tyres.
28. 06. 2013 20:37 CET 4 flash info (11 - Bonnefis Germain / Fournier Olivier): It's very slippery, we drive safe, every corner is very dangerous.
28. 06. 2013 20:36 CET 4 flash info (8 - Aigner Andreas / Heigl Jürgen): Difficult, but it was OK. We are trying to not to risk.
28. 06. 2013 20:32 CET 4 flash info (12 - Tlusťák Antonín / Škaloud Jan): It's sliding a lot, without cutting the tyres don't work very well on the water. We will see what adjustments can we do with suspension setup.
28. 06. 2013 20:30 CET 4 flash info (6 - Bouffier Bryan / Vanneste Lara): It's OK, we are driving well. We hit a rock in the driving line.
28. 06. 2013 20:29 CET 4 flash info (4 - Sołowow Michał / Rozwadowski Sebastian): Very very nice stage, the tyres are not good, but the stage is good. In the first loop the rear diff was broken.
28. 06. 2013 20:26 CET 4 flash info (2 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's improved, the car is better balanced now. Slight improvement.
28. 06. 2013 20:24 CET 4 flash info (1 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): We did one small cut and got a puncture.
28. 06. 2013 20:23 CET 4 flash info (5 - Loix Freddy / Miclotte Fréderic): It was OK, but very tricky with all that cars in front of us.

28. 06. 2013 20:01 CET 3 retired (17 - Verschueren Vincent / Caesemaeker Francis): accident in SS 3
28. 06. 2013 18:50 CET 3 flash info (8 - Aigner Andreas / Heigl Jürgen): Sometimes there was a lot of water and I completely lost the contact with the ground. No big moments, but it's really tricky to find the right brake points.
28. 06. 2013 18:47 CET 3 flash info (12 - Tlusťák Antonín / Škaloud Jan): It's raining more and more, we have soft tyres, but we still don't know them very well and without allowed cutting and with dirt on the road it's quite slippery.
28. 06. 2013 18:45 CET 3 flash info (6 - Bouffier Bryan / Vanneste Lara): We were not confident on this one, we found some muddy places there so we just wanted to survive.
28. 06. 2013 18:43 CET 3 flash info (4 - Sołowow Michał / Rozwadowski Sebastian): Nothing special, the road is wet.
28. 06. 2013 18:40 CET 3 flash info (2 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): The tyres are too hard, we have no grip. Not so fun to drive.
28. 06. 2013 18:39 CET 3 flash info (1 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It was good fun, I enjoyed it.
28. 06. 2013 18:38 CET 3 flash info (5 - Loix Freddy / Miclotte Fréderic): OK, but it's tricky.
28. 06. 2013 18:19 CET 3 flash info Thierry Neuville (Ford Fiesta R5): It's OK, there is some rain, the road is everywhere wet. I never drove in these conditions in this rally. I'm getting used to the car more and more.

28. 06. 2013 18:17 CET 2 flash info (16 - Debackere Melissa / Cokelaere Cindy): The same like the first time - it's so sliperry and difficult!
28. 06. 2013 18:08 CET 2 flash info (11 - Bonnefis Germain / Fournier Olivier): Very difficult, it's our first time in Belgium. It's dangerous for us.
28. 06. 2013 18:06 CET 2 flash info (8 - Aigner Andreas / Heigl Jürgen): So far quite good, this stage wasn't so nice, my driving wasn't so good, but the previous one was better, I'm happy.
28. 06. 2013 18:04 CET 2 flash info (12 - Tlusťák Antonín / Škaloud Jan): Wet, but it was good!
28. 06. 2013 18:01 CET 2 flash info (6 - Bouffier Bryan / Vanneste Lara): I'm not very happy with the driving. It's very slippery.
28. 06. 2013 18:00 CET 2 flash info (4 - Sołowow Michał / Rozwadowski Sebastian): No problem, it's just so slipery. Not very good with the hard tyres.
28. 06. 2013 17:57 CET 2 flash info (2 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Very difficult, the stage was slippery and we had no grip at all. It's my first time in Belgium.
28. 06. 2013 17:56 CET 2 flash info (1 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It was difficult, the car was moving a lot on sixth gear, but we went for it.
28. 06. 2013 17:49 CET 2 flash info (5 - Loix Freddy / Miclotte Fréderic): It's starting to rain, but it's not raining enough to clean the road. So it's sliding like on black ice in Monte Carlo.
28. 06. 2013 17:46 CET 2 flash info Kris Meeke (Peugeot 208 T16): It's incredibly slippery, I never saw this in Ypres. We have to be careful.
28. 06. 2013 17:44 CET 2 flash info Thierry Neuville (Ford Fiesta R5): Good, but I took it carefully, in the previous stage we caught the double-zero car. We are working with the setup.

28. 06. 2013 17:38 CET 1 flash info (16 - Debackere Melissa / Cokelaere Cindy): Very slippery, the rain is not good, the roads are very dirty.
28. 06. 2013 17:35 CET 1 flash info (11 - Bonnefis Germain / Fournier Olivier): Very difficult, we didn't push, we need to be careful.
28. 06. 2013 17:31 CET 1 flash info (15 - Pajunen Mikko / Perälä Janne): I had a spin and missed one junction.
28. 06. 2013 17:27 CET 1 flash info (10 - Orsák Jaroslav / Vajík Karel): Very slippery and tricky stage. Difficult. The car is perfect.
28. 06. 2013 17:26 CET 1 flash info (8 - Aigner Andreas / Heigl Jürgen): Not so bad, but not so easy. Lot of cuts, Thiery and Kris did really good job :-)
28. 06. 2013 17:23 CET 1 flash info (12 - Tlusťák Antonín / Škaloud Jan): It was terribly slippery, the final part was completely wet. There are lot of cuts in the corners, we are getting used to the new tyres.
28. 06. 2013 17:21 CET 1 flash info (6 - Bouffier Bryan / Vanneste Lara): I tried to drive well, but the road was already very muddy in some corners. It's raining and it's getting more and more slippery.
28. 06. 2013 17:19 CET 1 flash info (4 - Sołowow Michał / Rozwadowski Sebastian): We broke something on the rear suspension.
28. 06. 2013 17:17 CET 1 flash info (2 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): In the first corner we were off in the potato field, not the best start.
28. 06. 2013 17:15 CET 1 flash info (1 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): The car was moving a lot, but we are quite pleased.
28. 06. 2013 17:14 CET 1 flash info (5 - Loix Freddy / Miclotte Fréderic): OK, already quite tricky, especially because the R5 cars in front of us were cutting on left and right.
28. 06. 2013 17:04 CET 1 flash info Kris Meeke (Peugeot 208 T16): It was incredibly dirty, really slippery.
28. 06. 2013 17:00 CET 1 flash info Thierry Neuville (Ford Fiesta R5): OK, I took it really steady, clean run. I try to feel the car and see what we can change and adjust.
