27. 10. 2013 15:13 CET 15 flash info (110 - Lemes Yeray / Peñate Rogelio): We are very happy. We suffered a lot, and the last stage seemed endless. We started very calmly, but the good luck arrive too late. Nevertheless, it’s not bad to be runner-ups of the Junior Championship.
27. 10. 2013 15:12 CET 15 flash info (65 - García Ojeda Enrique / Odriozola Borja): I thank my team for their job, they did it very well and I’m very satisfied with my final position, as it was much better than we expected.
27. 10. 2013 15:11 CET 15 flash info (35 - Al Rajhi Yazeed / Orr Michael): I am satisfied that I won and very happy for my final position.
27. 10. 2013 15:10 CET 15 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): To be honest the target was different, but I knew if I was able to learn good on gravel, I could do a good result. We manage five wins and one second place which count for the championship. I am happy, but there is a long way to go for me for recovery. Rally helps me a lot this year. Now extra rally in GB, the target will always be the same to collect experience.
27. 10. 2013 15:09 CET 15 flash info (23 - Al-Kuwari Abdulaziz / Duffy Killian): Very enjoyable day today. Very good rally.
27. 10. 2013 15:08 CET 15 flash info (10 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Martin Scott): Very tough rally, we had dramatic day today, the car was not balanced.
27. 10. 2013 15:07 CET 15 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): We lost the brakes after the tarmac, lost the brakes, lost the tyres. Had some big moments. Happy with the weekend, the tarmac, gravel was perfect. Good preparation for the future.
27. 10. 2013 15:06 CET 15 flash info (22 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Big learning curve, I think we have been able to make some gains this afternoon. Hopefully we can come back and use this experience for the future. I really liked this rally, I look forward to coming back next year. Driving a WRC car was an amazing experience.
27. 10. 2013 15:05 CET 15 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): We saw yesterday afternoon, when things are working, we are good on tarmac. On tarmac if the setup is slightly off I do not have the confidence. I am very happy to see that we are back on gravel speed again.
27. 10. 2013 15:04 CET 15 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): I am happy with podium. Shame for Dani Sordo, it would have been so nice to see him on the podium on his home event.
27. 10. 2013 15:03 CET 15 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): It was ok, I was not pushing. Everything is fine generally. I think we show quite good speed on this rally and I am happy.
27. 10. 2013 15:02 CET 15 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Was fantastic day, we pushed really hard, we did not know if it would be possible, with the dust. I trust in my pace notes. This is the result of the good work of the whole team and of my co-driver Julien. I have to say thank you to the team, all the season they give me a fantastic car! I would like to dedicate this victory to Porsche Supercup driver Sean Edwards who passed away a few days ago in a track accident.
27. 10. 2013 15:01 CET 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): More points, another finish, so that is good. I think we struggle with the setup on the tarmac and we lost the rally there.
27. 10. 2013 14:20 CET 14 retired (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): technical problem - suspension after SS 14
27. 10. 2013 14:15 CET 14 retired (135 - Solans Nil / Ibañez Miquel): retired in SS 14
27. 10. 2013 14:14 CET 14 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): One more difficult stage. Everything ok.
27. 10. 2013 14:13 CET 14 flash info (23 - Al-Kuwari Abdulaziz / Duffy Killian): No dust, but the stage was getting very deep ruts. I think I am driving well.
27. 10. 2013 14:12 CET 14 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): On this one, after 10kms I hit something on the straight line and the steering was bent. To go in a straight line I need to hold the steering wheel to the right. This should be okay, I just worry about the tyres.
27. 10. 2013 14:11 CET 14 flash info (10 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Martin Scott): Very tricky, very difficult. On the tarmac we hit something, I am not sure what is wrong with the car.
27. 10. 2013 14:10 CET 14 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): The conditions are very good, also the grip is fine. Had a problem with the pace notes, on this I have no confidence. We just try to go to the finish.
27. 10. 2013 14:09 CET 14 flash info (22 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I’m happy with the car’s configuration. It works more smoothly, and I hope we can finish. It's certainly an improvement and we keep learning.
27. 10. 2013 14:08 CET 14 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Very nice and comfortable, I am really enjoying the stages, not a lot to fight for but we are making good times. The car is much better now with the new settings. It was a quick stage. I liked it, and I had the opportunity to push harder.
27. 10. 2013 14:07 CET 14 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): I’m worried about the rear right tyre: there’s a vibration and I don’t know what it is.
27. 10. 2013 14:06 CET 14 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): The track is in better conditions now than it was this morning. The dust is not disturbing us any more, and I raced well.
27. 10. 2013 14:05 CET 14 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Another great stage, very happy, shame for Dani Sordo, but now we are World Champion in the manufacturers. I need to do another good one!
27. 10. 2013 14:04 CET 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I think Sordo rolled the car, I do not know exactly, he was out of the car. My stage was ok, I try to save the tyres at the end. After seeing Sordo had stopped, I raced on without taking any risks. I’m challenging for a podium place, but there’s still one special stage to go. I struggle with the rear of the car, we have to make some adjustments.
27. 10. 2013 14:03 CET 14 retired (3 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): technical problem - suspension in SS 14
27. 10. 2013 14:02 CET 14 (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): flames from the bonnet in finish
27. 10. 2013 14:01 CET 14 (3 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): hit stone and damaged suspension
27. 10. 2013 13:15 CET 13 retired (32 - Wiegand Sepp / Christian Frank): technical problem - transmission in SS 13
27. 10. 2013 13:10 CET 13 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): I changed the tyres compound for this loop and I think that I made a mistake.
27. 10. 2013 13:09 CET 13 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): Different conditions now, nice visibility and the road is quite clean. I stalled the engine on one corner and had to start again. The stage conditions are completely different, much cleaner and so much better for me.
27. 10. 2013 13:08 CET 13 flash info (22 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We have made a lot of changes to the car, a lot more to my liking. Its an improvement. This is completely different to anything I have driven before.
27. 10. 2013 13:07 CET 13 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): For sure it is cleaning, quite good for us. I will keep fighting in the last two stages.
27. 10. 2013 13:06 CET 13 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): This time I did not get dust. Missed a junction, had to reverse and lost a few seconds there. I can’t set really good times, but I will keep pushing and stay focused to try and finish more comfortably.
27. 10. 2013 13:05 CET 13 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): It was quite good, I was pushing maximum. My feelings are not good; I think I could have done better. My motivation is not the best now.
27. 10. 2013 13:04 CET 13 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It was a good stage, really good drive. Could not go so much faster, maybe at the beginning a little bit. The times are good and I think I might have a chance to catch Latvala.
27. 10. 2013 13:03 CET 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): You can see now, we checked the pacenotes this morning all is fine. Made some small changes, the car is working good now, the differential as well, more traction.
27. 10. 2013 13:02 CET 13 flash info (3 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I am happy, it will be very hard for the tyres. I take a good feel with the gravel, I really enjoy. I’m pushing as much as I can. The tyres are working well and I hope I can keep improving.
27. 10. 2013 13:01 CET 13 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I am happy with the stage. It was cleaner than in the first pass. I made a mistake in a few places, but for the moment it goes well.
27. 10. 2013 11:13 CET 12 flash info (32 - Wiegand Sepp / Christian Frank): Not easy but I like, I like gravel. I have lots of fun and try to stay in the road. I enjoy my driving.
27. 10. 2013 11:12 CET 12 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): No drama. On this stage, the channels down the side of the stage and the car jump on it's nose, but luckily no damage.
27. 10. 2013 11:11 CET 12 flash info (23 - Al-Kuwari Abdulaziz / Duffy Killian): Enjoying, but I do not know if I have something broken, the car was moving a lot in the stage.
27. 10. 2013 11:10 CET 12 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): We just went slightly off, we were lucky as we did not get stuck. A little bit aggressive on the notes. Its ok, not so happy with the last stage.
27. 10. 2013 11:09 CET 12 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): When you do not drive the stages in the early morning, it is much better as the sun is much higher in the sky. On the first stage I had a big moment on the first corner as I try to find the same grip as on tarmac, but now it is ok.
27. 10. 2013 11:08 CET 12 flash info (22 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Really, really struggling, the car is good, but we have not driven this before. There is not a lot we can do except get the mileage. I can’t believe what I did. The time is rather bad.
27. 10. 2013 11:07 CET 12 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It is quite a good stage, I am too careful in the dust and we lose quite a lot there.
27. 10. 2013 11:06 CET 12 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was ok, I tried to save my tyres a bit for the tarmac.
27. 10. 2013 11:05 CET 12 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): Very disappointed.
27. 10. 2013 11:04 CET 12 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Good stage, quite slippy at the end, I think the tyres had gone at the end. I think we could be a bit faster, it is going to be close. We went flat out, but we ended up losing the tyres precisely because we were so aggressive from the start.
27. 10. 2013 11:03 CET 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was ok, but I think we broke the differential or something, we have wheel spin in 4th and 5th gear. Otherwise my driving was okay, but we have a lot to improve.
27. 10. 2013 11:02 CET 12 flash info (3 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): After the tarmac there was lot dust in the corners. We were a lot of time out the line.
27. 10. 2013 11:01 CET 12 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The cleaning effect is bigger than I expected, but all I can do is drive from the front. Still 3 stages to go.
27. 10. 2013 10:31 CET 11 retired (139 - Falcón Emma / Larrode Carlos): retired after SS 11
27. 10. 2013 10:30 CET 11 retired (107 - Burri Michaël / Moreau Gabin): retired after SS 11
27. 10. 2013 10:29 CET 11 (107 - Burri Michaël / Moreau Gabin): was out of road
27. 10. 2013 10:20 CET 11 retired (128 - Correia João / Ferreira Janela): retired in SS 11
27. 10. 2013 10:15 CET 11 flash info (35 - Al Rajhi Yazeed / Orr Michael): It’s rather slippery. In some stretches there’s plenty of dust and gravel, and that complicates the driving.
27. 10. 2013 10:14 CET 11 flash info (32 - Wiegand Sepp / Christian Frank): The stage was difficult. Finishing second in the WRC2 is fine for me. I prefer not to take any more risks.
27. 10. 2013 10:13 CET 11 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): It was extremely tricky. I made some mistakes, but I really want to finish the rally for the WRC2 championship.
27. 10. 2013 10:12 CET 11 flash info (23 - Al-Kuwari Abdulaziz / Duffy Killian): I tried to do my best, but it was impossible in these conditions.
27. 10. 2013 10:11 CET 11 flash info (10 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Martin Scott): I had a really rough time. I had trouble with the dust and the sun shining in my face. We have to nearly almost stop several times.
27. 10. 2013 10:10 CET 11 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): It was a tricky stage, but our notes were perfect. Starting later works to our advantage. I’m very happy with the result. It is a good rhythm, it is hard to see some times with the dust. Really precise notes, I am really happy with my recce, just one more stage then service.
27. 10. 2013 10:09 CET 11 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): It is really crazy and dangerous, I was out of the road and I did not know I was out of the road. On the long straight, I had to stop and find out where the road. It is not moving and the sun is coming through the dust and I could not see the road.
27. 10. 2013 10:08 CET 11 flash info (22 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): There is certainly a lot of dust. This car is great but it is different, I cannot get a feel at all. We have not done any testing so are trying to feel our way in.
27. 10. 2013 10:07 CET 11 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): We kept the car moving, but nearly in a few places. It is difficult to take risks now in my position, I cannot catch anyone.
27. 10. 2013 10:06 CET 11 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): You cannot do anything about it, that is what the conditions are. Some places you cannot see anything, you have to almost stop completely. I pushed to the limit, and more. It was really complicated, because the notes were not perfect. It is ridiculous.
27. 10. 2013 10:05 CET 11 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): Very difficult, I try to do my best, but in some parts of the stage it was very dusty and very sunny, I could not see. Where it was clear I try to push and do my best.
27. 10. 2013 10:04 CET 11 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I have to trust so much the notes, so many times I am completely lost and I do not know the places. I can tell you without the dust, we will be much more faster.
27. 10. 2013 10:03 CET 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): You cannot see nothing, it is so dangerous, you cannot see nothing, it is very very dangerous. It should not be like this. We punctured. I don’t know where I punctured. I got the sun in my face and the dust when I went into a 6th gear corner, and it was really complicated.
27. 10. 2013 10:02 CET 11 flash info (3 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): There was a lot of dust at the end. Long straight, just flat flat flat, but you cannot see the end. At the beginning it was very nice, but afterwards I lost my place for the dust. It is easy to make a mistake. But it is ok. I pushed wherever I could, but in the last kilometres I lost a few seconds due to the sun and the suspended dust.
27. 10. 2013 10:01 CET 11 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): puncture
27. 10. 2013 10:01 CET 11 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): At the moment it looks like Sordo is coming pretty well. I was struggling with the sun it was coming with my eyes. Even I had some problem with the dust through the sun. I had problems with the car in some hill jumpings, and the sun in the face bothered me, but it was the same for all of us.
27. 10. 2013 08:12 CET 10 retired (75 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): technical problem - clutch after SS 10
27. 10. 2013 08:11 CET 10 retired (121 - Protasov Yuriy / Sikk Kuldar): retired in SS 10
27. 10. 2013 08:10 CET 10 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): The stage went fine. I’m trying to enjoy myself after yesterday’s mechanical problems. I’ll try to do some mileage and avoid problems for the rest of the leg. A good start in the morning, we have nothing to lose. A clean stage for us, so much dust in the car, so hard to see… we left the vent open so my mistake. We are coming from tarmac, so some still some adjustments to make.
27. 10. 2013 08:09 CET 10 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): It was difficult conditions, there was a lot of dust and the sun is coming through the dust, difficult to see. Short stage but difficult.
27. 10. 2013 08:08 CET 10 flash info (22 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Car on gravel is like nothing I have ever driven before - this is my first time in a WRC car on gravel. I hope the next two ones will be better.
27. 10. 2013 08:07 CET 10 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): he stage is beautiful. Lot of dust in the stage, difficult when you are not pushing flat out to take the risks that you have to take. I’m happy with the driving, the car feels fine, and I hope today will be better than the previous days.
27. 10. 2013 08:06 CET 10 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): There was so much dust in places and I did not get the best rhythm. I’m satisfied about my driving, and the stage is really nice.
27. 10. 2013 08:05 CET 10 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): Was very deceptive and I did not take any risks. There was a lot of dust in places.
27. 10. 2013 08:04 CET 10 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Not easy because lot of dust in the stage. We tried. I do not know if I can catch Latvala, it is a big gap, but I will try. Fighting for victory is not easy, but I’m in for it.
27. 10. 2013 08:02 CET 10 flash info (3 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I made some mistake during the stage. I’m not very happy about my time, but I’ll keep pushing. In some places there was lot of dust.
27. 10. 2013 08:01 CET 10 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The first stage of the day was complex. I still had not warmed up, and I’m still trying to find my pace. From now on it’s time to push. I am positive, full attack on the position and then we see where we are. It is slippy in places but it was not as bad as I thought it would be. There are some concrete places where the braking is difficult.
27. 10. 2013 07:02 CET 10 retired (144 - Sarabia Oscar / Fernandez Sara): retired before SS 10
27. 10. 2013 07:01 CET 10 retired (131 - Julia David / Valibouze Christophe): retired before SS 10
26. 10. 2013 08:03 CET 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It is getting more and more dust, I made a few small mistakes as I could not see the road. I arrive some places too fast and could not see the line. My time is good, but I’m not totally satisfied. The stage was quite clean, but I was careful in the racing lines, especially in the tighter corners, because I was afraid of going off the road.
26. 10. 2013 18:14 CET 9 flash info (32 - Wiegand Sepp / Christian Frank): I saw Evans in the hairpin standing and I think he has lost a wheel.
26. 10. 2013 18:13 CET 9 retired (75 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): accident in SS 9
26. 10. 2013 18:12 CET 9 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): It has been good day. All okay for us apart from this stage, we have problem with the handbrake and in these tight conditions we have to reverse.
26. 10. 2013 18:11 CET 9 flash info (10 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Martin Scott): It's the worst stage. Tomorrow is a completely different rally.
26. 10. 2013 18:10 CET 9 flash info (23 - Al-Kuwari Abdulaziz / Duffy Killian): I am really happy to finish this stage, it is a very difficult stage. No fun for the cars.
26. 10. 2013 18:09 CET 9 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): We didn't chose right setup for the long stage, we did not get the speed that we need. It’s been a good day overall. I was fast in the afternoon, and I liked the stages, although the car’s top speed was a bit short.
26. 10. 2013 18:08 CET 9 flash info (22 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Trying to find a few things with the car. I am looking forward to get on the gravel tomorrow.
26. 10. 2013 18:07 CET 9 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Thought I was going to loose a lot of time on this stage because of my long first gear, but it was so slippery and so much wheel spin, maybe it did not make much difference.
26. 10. 2013 18:06 CET 9 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): I try to make a show, it was not about performance. I did not want to push on that.
26. 10. 2013 18:05 CET 9 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It has been a good day, I find a good rhythm today, our pace was a bit better. But still there is room to improve, tomorrow with the gravel, at least we have a good road position.
26. 10. 2013 18:04 CET 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Its all about the settings and when I find it we have the usual rhythm. We must analyse, maybe we can catch Sordo, it will be a nice fight. We must see Sordo on the gravel, I expect him to be quick tomorrow.
26. 10. 2013 18:03 CET 9 flash info (3 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): For me this is the more difficult stage for the rally, very very slippery. Tomorrow is a long day and we need to keep in the fighting. Tomorrow is a big challenge.
26. 10. 2013 18:02 CET 9 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): This is the most difficult stage of the rally so far, very slippy places. A new challenge, coming from the tarmac going to the gravel is not going to be easy. I hope the weather will give me support tomorrow, a little bit of moisture.
26. 10. 2013 18:01 CET 9 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): That is a stupid stage. Nice to show what is rally. I do not know what is possible, 140 kilometres to go and 4th on the road, we shall see what we can get. The afternoon was not very good. The special stage is really nice, but I made some mistakes. It’s difficult to make up ground, but we’ll keep on trying.
26. 10. 2013 12:14 CET 8 flash info (75 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): We’re doing fine, and I hope to close the gap on Kubica tomorrow.
26. 10. 2013 12:13 CET 8 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): It is going ok for us, we have no big issues. We are trying to drive nice pace.
26. 10. 2013 12:12 CET 8 flash info (10 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Martin Scott): We started going gradually to build the confidence. Everything is ok, fine up till now.
26. 10. 2013 12:11 CET 8 flash info (23 - Al-Kuwari Abdulaziz / Duffy Killian): Was very difficult stage, a lot of dirty places, cuts, rocks everywhere.
26. 10. 2013 12:10 CET 8 retired (6 - Al-Attiyah Nasser / Bernacchini Giovanni): accident in SS 8
26. 10. 2013 12:09 CET 8 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): We are trying and time is not so good. The car was perfect, but we need to be a bit faster. The settings are better and better, still a little bit of work to do.
26. 10. 2013 12:08 CET 8 flash info (22 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): This afternoon has certainly been much better. It has given me more confidence, we are not on the limit. I have not driven the car on gravel yet and so tomorrow will be a test session.
26. 10. 2013 12:07 CET 8 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): We have got to the point where we can start to play around with the setup. We tried a little bit before this one, things worked so well. This was quite okay stage and a good way to end the tarmac.
26. 10. 2013 12:06 CET 8 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): We push a bit more. Everything is fine.
26. 10. 2013 12:05 CET 8 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Not so good stage that one. I just used my tyres on the long stage, it was sliding from the beginning.
26. 10. 2013 12:04 CET 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Compared to this morning it is completely different. I feel comfortable and I can drive usually. I have less understeer and confidence that the car will turn. Now it works. We found the perfect configuration, I’m going flat out. I’ll be starting from a good position tomorrow. I’ll try to challenge Latvala and Sordo.
26. 10. 2013 12:03 CET 8 flash info (3 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I was now looking the time of Jari-Matti Latvala, I lift a little bit at the end. It is better than 3rd on the road. I will try to do well tomorrow.
26. 10. 2013 12:02 CET 8 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I should have been quicker now. Sordo won't be first on the road, he will slow down. I hope the weather is on my side, I need a bit of luck with the weather.
26. 10. 2013 12:01 CET 8 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The gap on my rivals is very big. The only thing I can do is push as much as I can, and wait and see. I think if they play now for road position tomorrow, they are stupid. It is a long day tomorrow.
26. 10. 2013 12:00 CET 8 Power stage.
26. 10. 2013 11:30 CET 7 retired (71 - Rasheed Ala'a / Matar Joseph): retired after SS 7
26. 10. 2013 11:17 CET 7 flash info (103 - Koči Martin / Kostka Lukáš): We’re doing quite well. However, we made a mistake early in the stage and had a mild crash.
26. 10. 2013 11:16 CET 7 flash info (110 - Lemes Yeray / Peñate Rogelio): I was very relaxed. Tomorrow is going to be the toughest part, when we move to gravel
26. 10. 2013 11:14 CET 7 flash info (32 - Wiegand Sepp / Christian Frank): Its ok, similar to the first loop. We had no moment. Everything is working.
26. 10. 2013 11:13 CET 7 flash info (75 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): I am happy with the driving, happy with the flow, carrying more speed. Kubica is amazingly fast.
26. 10. 2013 11:12 CET 7 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): We don't want to take any risk. Some how I have to use this mileage for training. We want to use this rally as a learning process. I keep on training for next season.
26. 10. 2013 11:11 CET 7 flash info (10 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Martin Scott): Just pushing, every time. Not taking any risks.
26. 10. 2013 11:10 CET 7 flash info (23 - Al-Kuwari Abdulaziz / Duffy Killian): Still time is slower. Maybe it is much dirtier now, a lot of cuts. Driving on tarmac is still tricky for me. I don’t feel comfortable.
26. 10. 2013 11:09 CET 7 flash info (6 - Al-Attiyah Nasser / Bernacchini Giovanni): The time is better, but the other drivers gone really fast. We change suspension and the time is much better than this morning.
26. 10. 2013 11:08 CET 7 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): It was better, we changed setup and it was not good. It was not easy to drive the car, a lot of understeering.
26. 10. 2013 11:07 CET 7 flash info (22 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I think we made some improvements and we are heading in the right direction. The road has got a lot more grip, it is rubbering up a bit. I am enjoying it. We just got to keep pushing, a long way to go yet.
26. 10. 2013 11:06 CET 7 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It is definitely better, I think we improve a bit more. The confidence is better, it starts to feel lot better, I am actually starting to enjoy myself.
26. 10. 2013 11:05 CET 7 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was ok. I started really well, for a long time we were close to the pace of Ogier. Towards the end the tyres started to move so much, but not so bad.
26. 10. 2013 11:04 CET 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Now it is not understeering. I really enjoyed now, the feeling is completely different. We just sorted out. I lost a bit in the beginning, but then after I just continue, we had to save the tyres and the brakes as well. Quite difficult stages, we cannot push too much or we will not finish...
26. 10. 2013 11:03 CET 7 flash info (3 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I do not have any splits of Jari-Matti Latvala. If I tell you one thing, you can believe me...
26. 10. 2013 11:02 CET 7 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I was pushing very hard to be honest. Was a good rhythm, a good feeling. I lost a bit on the start and on the new tarmac. Good battle, really happy. The temperature is getting higher so there is more understeering, it is warmer for the tyres.
26. 10. 2013 11:01 CET 7 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It wasn’t bad, but I’m a bit disappointed for not having managed a better time.
26. 10. 2013 10:35 CET 6 retired (127 - Font Joan / Ferrer Jose M.): retired after SS 6
26. 10. 2013 10:33 CET 6 retired (136 - Paniceres Angel / Belzunces Salvador): retired in SS 6
26. 10. 2013 10:30 CET 6 retired (46 - Vallario Marco / Pascale Antonio): retired in SS 6
26. 10. 2013 10:14 CET 6 flash info (32 - Wiegand Sepp / Christian Frank): The long stage was not so good, we broke a rim. For me this stage was nice, I like this stage.
26. 10. 2013 10:13 CET 6 flash info (75 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Not bad at all, a good run with the car. For sure there are areas where I am a little hesitant.
26. 10. 2013 10:12 CET 6 flash info (10 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Martin Scott): Gradually we need to think what we need to do. Drive to get the maximum balance. The car felt funny, but I guess it was due to the tarmac, because then everything went well.
26. 10. 2013 10:11 CET 6 flash info (23 - Al-Kuwari Abdulaziz / Duffy Killian): Not so good, but we have to learn a lot on tarmac, I know I am far away. I’m trying to do my best, but it’s not going well. I hope things will improve when we come to gravel.
26. 10. 2013 10:10 CET 6 flash info (6 - Al-Attiyah Nasser / Bernacchini Giovanni): Not really easy stage. It is fast, you need really precise pacenotes, a lot of the blind corner. We tried to push hard, but the notes are not accurate in some areas, especially in the fastest ones,
26. 10. 2013 10:09 CET 6 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): I enjoy, very nice stage, really technical. Sometimes big moments, big slide, we have oversteering. We need to think about setup for next loop. The car was not very stable in the bumpy stretch.
26. 10. 2013 10:08 CET 6 flash info (22 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Late in the stage, I lost the car a bit in a corner and I hit one of the rims. Just went a little bit wide and touched the rock face. Hopefully nothing too serious.
26. 10. 2013 10:07 CET 6 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Definitely we found some more on the setup. Now I just made a big step. I think there is something wrong with my right front as there is a lot of understeer in right hand corners, but not in left hand corners.
26. 10. 2013 10:06 CET 6 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): There was some cutting corners, but not so much gravel on the road, not so much.
26. 10. 2013 10:05 CET 6 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Sometimes you see the gravel on the road and you take the cuts, luckily we do not have any bigger problems.
26. 10. 2013 10:04 CET 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I intend to push as much as I can. The car is working smoothly, I hope it will continue like that tomorrow on gravel.
26. 10. 2013 10:03 CET 6 flash info (3 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I’m pushing a lot, and we’re in a really interesting battle. However, we can can have a flat tyre at any time. We need to be careful.
26. 10. 2013 10:02 CET 6 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): With Ogier's problem it makes a new aspect for the rally. It will be interesting and he did not lost so much. I try to keep going with the same speed.
26. 10. 2013 10:01 CET 6 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I brushed a stone in the inside of a corner and a smashed the front tyre.
26. 10. 2013 10:00 CET 6 (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): puncture
26. 10. 2013 09:20 CET 6 (79 - Barrable Robert / Loudon Stuart): problems with driveshaft
26. 10. 2013 09:40 CET 5 retired (121 - Protasov Yuriy / Sikk Kuldar): retired after SS 5
26. 10. 2013 09:32 CET 5 retired (102 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): accident in SS 5
26. 10. 2013 09:31 CET 5 retired (105 - Suárez José António / Carrera Cándido): accident in SS 5
26. 10. 2013 09:15 CET 5 flash info (32 - Wiegand Sepp / Christian Frank): For me it was really difficult, I had two big moments, there is something wrong with the pacenotes.
26. 10. 2013 09:14 CET 5 flash info (75 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Not great to be honest. We struggled with the rhythm in places. It could have been better but it was not bad.
26. 10. 2013 09:13 CET 5 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): It was ok, some things to improve but ok. It was not perfect.
26. 10. 2013 09:12 CET 5 flash info (10 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Martin Scott): Some places aggressive, some places carrying a smoother rhythm.
26. 10. 2013 09:11 CET 5 flash info (23 - Al-Kuwari Abdulaziz / Duffy Killian): Very bad again, very bad stage for me. The tarmac is totally different.
26. 10. 2013 09:10 CET 5 flash info (6 - Al-Attiyah Nasser / Bernacchini Giovanni): Nice stage, we have a lot of grip in the car, but the confidence is not there. I do not know why, but we try to finish. Until now we are quite happy and we try to finish the day.
26. 10. 2013 09:09 CET 5 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): Big vibration on front left tyre. Luckily the puncture was not there, the end of the stage was very slippy, maybe the tyres were overheated or too much pressure in the tyres. It was not easy for me.
26. 10. 2013 09:08 CET 5 flash info (22 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I am still really struggling with the rhythm of the car. Whenever I push I am getting a lot of understeer. We just got to keep learning from this.
26. 10. 2013 09:07 CET 5 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): It was quite good. I was a bit careful with the cuts, not to have a puncture.
26. 10. 2013 09:06 CET 5 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It was ok, it felt a little bit better. It is going in a better direction and at least I feel more comfortable. Trying to push even more.
26. 10. 2013 09:05 CET 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I am pushing to the maximum, but there is nothing I can do for the moment. I am on the limit with the feeling I have for the moment. I feel like I am doing well, but we must work on the settings, there is something strange. I have no idea for the moment. I am on the maximum, I cannot do more.
26. 10. 2013 09:04 CET 5 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): I was just driving like always, it felt really slippy, the tyres start to move in the finish. We are happy with that.
26. 10. 2013 09:03 CET 5 flash info (3 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): In this stage the car was really nice, but we cannot push more as the tyres get very hot. I am happy. I try to do all the time pushing, pushing but at the same time I want to conserver the tyres.
26. 10. 2013 09:02 CET 5 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It is an impressive stage. Good stage I really enjoyed it. There is new tarmac after 15 kilometres and you have it for 8 or 9 kilometres, I did not drive well there.
26. 10. 2013 09:01 CET 5 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It was ok. Long stage and the tyres are suffering a lot, you cannot push all the way. I just have fun in the car and see what happens. I am not afraid to open the road tomorrow.
26. 10. 2013 08:40 CET 4 retired (122 - Melichárek Jaroslav / Melichárek Erik): retired after SS 4
26. 10. 2013 08:15 CET 4 retired (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): technical problem - suspension after SS 4
26. 10. 2013 08:14 CET 4 flash info (75 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): The feeling is good now. There is not masses of grip out there, it is similar for everybody.
26. 10. 2013 08:13 CET 4 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): It was a bit easier because second time through and not in the dark. A very demanding stage for the car, the driver and mainly for the tyres.
26. 10. 2013 08:12 CET 4 flash info (10 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Martin Scott): The car was a little bit soft. I had good idea with some corners from Kris Meeke.
26. 10. 2013 08:11 CET 4 flash info (23 - Al-Kuwari Abdulaziz / Duffy Killian): Ok, good. Not easy stage, very tricky.
26. 10. 2013 08:10 CET 4 flash info (6 - Al-Attiyah Nasser / Bernacchini Giovanni): It is difficult for first time to come this road, the pacenotes a little bit not easy. But it is much better than yesterday. We keep going like this, I am quite happy going like this.
26. 10. 2013 08:09 CET 4 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): I manage, I had trouble with the grip, it was much more slippy than last evening. It was very difficult to manage the corners and keep in the clean line. Maybe the tyre pressures.
26. 10. 2013 08:08 CET 4 flash info (22 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Small improvements, made a lot of changes to the car overnight. Struggling a bit through the tight and twisty but the rest of the day is a lot faster.
26. 10. 2013 08:07 CET 4 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): We try to change the setup of the car a little bit. I felt it quite good in some places but quite a bit of understeering. I think it will be better on the faster stages, but we will see. We want to be fast.
26. 10. 2013 08:06 CET 4 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Very slow left hand corner, we just went wide with the rear, but there was a stone there and it hit the tyre. Something is going in the wrong direction back there...
26. 10. 2013 08:05 CET 4 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was really more difficult to drive the car than yesterday. Maybe the changes we did, did not work. It was a little bit tricky, maybe we change before next stage.
26. 10. 2013 08:04 CET 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I am sliding everywhere, there is no traction. I had a big push in this stage but it is not going. I just push but it is not working.
26. 10. 2013 08:03 CET 4 flash info (3 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It was good, difficult to catch Jari-Matti Latvala. The plan is to try to push hard.
26. 10. 2013 08:02 CET 4 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Lets try stage by stage. At the end of the day we see where we are, then we concentrate on the gravel. We do not have a team strategy, we just keep driving.
26. 10. 2013 08:01 CET 4 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Sleeping all the day is my plan... I tried but I did not manage to go faster. I am not completely happy with the car. The car is working, just the setup.
25. 10. 2013 23:41 CET 3 retired (132 - Van Deijne Kevin / Hulzebos Annemieke): retired in SS 3
25. 10. 2013 23:28 CET 3 flash info (75 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): On previous stages I had probmels with misfire. We fiddled around with some things, but as the stage went on it cleared. The car is alright now. Still trying to find the rhythm, it was difficult to settle in, but about half way through things seemed to settle out.
25. 10. 2013 23:27 CET 3 flash info (32 - Wiegand Sepp / Christian Frank): Now this stage was not good, I had a big moment in the circle, I jump on the pedal, it was slippery the pedal.
25. 10. 2013 23:26 CET 3 flash info (41 - Fuchs Nicolás / Mussano Fernando): I have good brake I think. I need to change the set-up a little in the front, but it is good.
25. 10. 2013 23:25 CET 3 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): It was ok, we pick up quite a lot of understeer in one corner, we was on the limit. I have a bit of problem with handbrake.
25. 10. 2013 23:21 CET 3 flash info (23 - Al-Kuwari Abdulaziz / Duffy Killian): This was the worse stage for me, I drove very bad, I do not know why.
25. 10. 2013 23:19 CET 3 flash info (22 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Definitely enjoyed, not getting as much out of it as we'd like to, struggling a lot with understeer. We need to try and make some improvements for tomorrow.
25. 10. 2013 23:17 CET 3 flash info (10 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Martin Scott): I started to change my driving style, I am trying to change things and go faster.
25. 10. 2013 23:15 CET 3 flash info (6 - Al-Attiyah Nasser / Bernacchini Giovanni): It is from the bottle of the brake cooling, the cap had come lose (steam inside the car on previous stage). We finished the day, very hard, very difficult. We try to enjoy tomorrow.
25. 10. 2013 23:13 CET 3 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): I am happy with that time, I always liked this stage. There were some places where we could have gone faster, but you never get the perfect stage. It is all twisty and technical this stage.
25. 10. 2013 23:10 CET 3 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): Big mistake, I did not see the roundabout, I did not see the junction, I was going the wrong way. Looking forward to tomorrow, it is another day.
25. 10. 2013 23:08 CET 3 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): I tried, I am happy with this.
25. 10. 2013 23:06 CET 3 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): This one was quite good. It was about finding the right gear, unfortunately we have the long ratio gearbox in the car.
25. 10. 2013 23:05 CET 3 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Really good, really good. It is a bit different. I enjoyed more now when the grip was more consistent.
25. 10. 2013 23:02 CET 3 flash info (3 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I have slowed down before finish, I want to be at the back of Jari-Matti.
25. 10. 2013 23:01 CET 3 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It's been a good evening, no big mistakes. This one, the last of the loop was nice. I think I had a good run, I could have been slightly faster.
25. 10. 2013 23:00 CET 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We changed a bit the settings, it is not working really. Sometimes I am struggling with understeer, I do not know why, it is strange. It was difficult for us, first time here in the dark. I think we can be happy.
25. 10. 2013 22:58 CET 3 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Very tricky stage. It is ok, the car was quite good on this. It wass quite slow, with these corners. The Michelin tyres are good and they last for long kilometre, so it is not a problem.
25. 10. 2013 22:45 CET 3 retired (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Dotta Mitia): retired after SS 3
25. 10. 2013 23:40 CET 2 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Dotta Mitia): retired after SS 2
25. 10. 2013 22:17 CET 2 flash info (79 - Barrable Robert / Loudon Stuart): It is very tricky, we took no risks. It's just a matter of getting through the night and see how we go on tomorrow.
25. 10. 2013 22:16 CET 2 flash info (75 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Difficult, we lost a lot of time in the first one, we had a problem. We seem to have cured it, so that is good news. It is getting better and better.
25. 10. 2013 22:15 CET 2 flash info (41 - Fuchs Nicolás / Mussano Fernando): First stage I have problem with lights, I go out a little.
25. 10. 2013 22:14 CET 2 flash info (32 - Wiegand Sepp / Christian Frank): Robert Kubica was really fast, every stage we catch Nicolas Fuchs, he is really slow, but he lets us past, that is really nice, thank you Nicolas.
25. 10. 2013 22:13 CET 2 flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): It was good, it is not easy, but everything ok. Very quick these stages and this first pass through the night is very difficult. Still very early stage of the rally, a long way to go.
25. 10. 2013 22:12 CET 2 flash info (23 - Al-Kuwari Abdulaziz / Duffy Killian): Very difficult. I think it was more difficult than the previous one. Thanks we have the pace notes so we know where we are going.
25. 10. 2013 22:11 CET 2 flash info (10 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Martin Scott): Very difficult, really difficult and not easy. You cannot see. There is a few places where we can see damp, trying to keep it clean.
25. 10. 2013 22:10 CET 2 flash info (22 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Quite difficult in the night, difficult to judge the braking points. Obviously we're not pushing, just struggling a little bit with the balance.
25. 10. 2013 22:09 CET 2 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): A tough stage, but a nice stage, I enjoyed it quite a lot. I was struggling in the last section, but that's life.
25. 10. 2013 22:08 CET 2 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): It looks dry but find out its sliding too much. Difficult to say if it is damp or losing the tarmac. I try to improve, but it was worse! This is amazing stage, but in the day.
25. 10. 2013 22:07 CET 2 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): Was quite good, tried to push abit more.
25. 10. 2013 22:06 CET 2 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): I don't know exactly. I cannot find any rhythm. Car is ok. I don't know exactly but I don't trust my pacenotes, I can feel through the stage that the pace notes are changing. Some places changing quite quickly, I don't really trust them.
25. 10. 2013 22:05 CET 2 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): First stage was ok, but I did not have a good rhythm on this stage, I was struggling on this stage.
25. 10. 2013 22:04 CET 2 flash info (3 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I am pushing very hard, and I have problems with the headlamps. I can’t see well the insides of the corners.
25. 10. 2013 22:03 CET 2 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I have got a bit of leeway, I was a bit careful in this special stage.
25. 10. 2013 22:02 CET 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It is not working at all, I have done it once before in 2009 but not in WRC car. They all know the stage quite well, I struggle in the dark, I struggle with the settings, I cannot do more.
25. 10. 2013 22:01 CET 2 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The stage went really well, I liked it a lot. The suspension setup is working better than expected.
25. 10. 2013 22:24 CET 1 retired (71 - Rasheed Ala'a / Matar Joseph): retired after SS 1
25. 10. 2013 22:23 CET 1 retired (36 - Al Ketbi Rashid / Hepperle Karina): technical problem - suspension after SS 1

25. 10. 2013 20:41 CET 1 flash info (22 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I am struggling with the braking points, a lot of understeer in the corners which is a little un-nerving. Just trying to get a feeling for it all.
25. 10. 2013 20:39 CET 1 flash info (10 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Martin Scott): Very difficult you cannot see the difference between the road and the edge of the road. A lot of dampness, a lot on the corners.
25. 10. 2013 20:37 CET 1 flash info (6 - Al-Attiyah Nasser / Bernacchini Giovanni): We try to start the flow, it is not easy stage and difficult at night because it is very fast.
25. 10. 2013 20:34 CET 1 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): It was ok, happy with myself. I had a good rhythm in there, the tyres were going off abit in there. Happy with the setup, it is always nice to drive on these types of road.
25. 10. 2013 20:33 CET 1 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): I did not like it, difficult for me to see, night time you do not see well. Sometimes I was a bit over the limit, sometimes sliding at high speed and sometimes not fast enough.
25. 10. 2013 20:30 CET 1 flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): Was quite good, the stage was very fast and sometimes it was very slippy. But generally okay.
25. 10. 2013 20:29 CET 1 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Driving was not perfect, but I am not happy with the car either. I can change both. I need to go a lot harder on the car.
25. 10. 2013 20:25 CET 1 flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was quite nice, not much gravel on the road, it was quite clean. The way I drive, I am really happy with the car.
25. 10. 2013 20:23 CET 1 flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was good start, good feeling with the car. The spectators were throwing stones at the windscreen of the car, fortunately there is not much damage. I dont like these things, people need to remember that there are people in the car when they throw the stones.
25. 10. 2013 20:21 CET 1 Today are planned three night tarmac stages. On first one there is mostly dry road, but during start of first cars small rain coming.
25. 10. 2013 20:20 CET 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I had no rhythm, car was understeering a lot. There was some humidity, I had a moment when I saw the humidity and locked up. Rain is just falling down now, but we could do better.
25. 10. 2013 20:19 CET 1 flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): First stage of the rally, it is never easy to start flat out. Next stage will be better.
