INFORMATION ABOUT SS 18
flash info (22 - Reuche Laurent / Deriaz Jean): We broke the exhaust manifold at the end of the penultimate stage, we therefore did the last one with only two thirds of the power. We had started to be on the pace as we drive very little. The start of the rally was difficult, we began to adjust the car this morning and the gravel suited me well, we had raised the level against Michel and Salinas. This is rally. This is not our year, we did three events and have always been unlucky, at least here we are at the finish, and this is not the case for everyone.
flash info (16 - Salinas Romain / Micheli Benjamin): A very difficult rally. To be at the finish is already a small feat. Three days of racing, it was my first international rally with many kilometres of stages, with a Megane which is 2-wheel drive and with which we had to fight against 4-wheel drive cars, the result is satisfactory for a first time with Team Renault Sport. I'm really happy with the weekend, we have experienced beautiful things, beautiful sceneries, a great organization, I'm really very happy.
flash info (27 - Michel Sylvain / Arlettaz Sandra): A good afternoon. We had fun on the stages. We had a good feeling with the car, it was a very tricky surface and we had to stay focused to see the finish line. We are happy to be here.
flash info (12 - Perroud Pascal / Marchand Quentin): The rally was good. We had a little hit on the gravel in the Bruson stage. With slick tyres I really do not have the feeling with the car. We are pleased to be at the finish.
flash info (18 - Gonon Florian / Horgnies Michel): I am very happy to be at the finish. All is good, with my friend Michel we did this rally and finished, it's great.
flash info In the afternoon we had better tyres compared to this morning, however we did not drive as well as yesterday. Orsak made time on us, it is not very good. But we are at the finish, which is not bad.
flash info (4 - Orsák Jaroslav / Kostka Lukáš): A very nice rally. For us it was fantastic. Our main target was to reach the finish. We have achieved it, we won one stage and are fifth overall.
flash info (5 - Ancian Jérémi / Vitrani Olivier): A fairly positive result despite all our mishaps this weekend. For sure, with all the penalties and punctures I did not think we could finish fourth. Finally a good weekend, we set good stage times, we had fun, I am very satisfied.
flash info (1 - Breen Craig / Vanneste Lara): The final loop was not too bad. We probably went for a too soft tyre, we couldn't push as much as we wanted in the last stage. We still made it to the finish and on the podium which, after all the problems, is not so bad. The speed was also quite good, not such a bad weekend.
flash info (8 - Burri Olivier / Saucy Andre): The balance is positive. To finish second here at Rallye du Valais is a good thing, especially given the competition. This is not a victory but somehow our opponents were stronger than us. I think we've had some pretty favourable circumstances. It's a bit like this year's Rallye Monte-Carlo. It was important to stay there, to make no mistake, to be focused, not to take a penalty, to drive fast and clean. I am happy because I still have the speed, I miss a touch of madness compared to the first crews but the old man is not dead yet, it's okay.
flash info (3 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The last two weeks were not so bad. A good end to the season with second in Sanremo and now two victories. Very good. The rally was not easy. We spun in the first stage, and again today in a hairpin and I had to reverse. We didn't have any problems and I think we always made the right tyre choice, we always had the best compound, so a very good rally in many ways.
(22 - Reuche Laurent / Deriaz Jean): engine problems
Start of stage is 14 minutes delayed.
