09. 11. 2013 17:11 CET 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.
09. 11. 2013 17:10 CET 18 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.
09. 11. 2013 17:09 CET 18 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.
09. 11. 2013 17:08 CET 18 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.
09. 11. 2013 17:07 CET 18 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.
09. 11. 2013 17:06 CET 18 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.
09. 11. 2013 17:05 CET 18 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.
09. 11. 2013 17:04 CET 18 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.
09. 11. 2013 17:03 CET 18 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.
09. 11. 2013 17:02 CET 18 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.
09. 11. 2013 17:01 CET 18 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.
09. 11. 2013 16:05 CET 18 (22 - Reuche Laurent / Deriaz Jean): engine problems
09. 11. 2013 15:57 CET 18 Start of stage is 14 minutes delayed.
09. 11. 2013 15:42 CET 17 (22 - Reuche Laurent / Deriaz Jean): engine problems

09. 11. 2013 13:56 CET 15 Stage start is delayed by 14 minutes.
09. 11. 2013 13:51 CET 14 flash info (16 - Salinas Romain / Micheli Benjamin): It's tough. This is the first time I drive on gravel, and also with unsuitable tyres. I learn little by little and it is really not easy. In the long stage we just lost the brakes on the end, not ideal for the confidence. A challenging loop.
09. 11. 2013 13:50 CET 14 flash info (27 - Michel Sylvain / Arlettaz Sandra): We attacked well in the Champex stage. It's more complicated on gravel because I am discovering the car on this surface. The long stage is difficult to manage because the downhill is completely dry. We made a good loop, we enjoyed ourselves.
09. 11. 2013 13:49 CET 14 flash info (22 - Reuche Laurent / Deriaz Jean): It was difficult. The “Les Cols” stage is a big one. I felt I was doing well. In the downhill part the tyres overheated, we were on intermediates while slicks might have been needed. The feeling when we got out of the stage was we had given everything, it's tough.
09. 11. 2013 13:48 CET 14 flash info (12 - Perroud Pascal / Marchand Quentin): We chose to go on snow tyres be sure to get to the finish. In all the wet parts it was great, we suffered a bit on the dry but for sure we enjoyed ourselves and I think we did a show.
09. 11. 2013 13:47 CET 14 flash info (5 - Ancian Jérémi / Vitrani Olivier): The morning had not started too bad. In the last stage there was a delay at the start, so it began to rain. We set off in the rain and we had a puncture losing three minutes. It's a shame but that's rallying.
09. 11. 2013 13:46 CET 14 flash info (18 - Gonon Florian / Horgnies Michel): All went well. In the first three stages I think I was ok with the soft tyres, but in the long one I struggled. And I might have done a false start in the long stage.
09. 11. 2013 13:45 CET 14 flash info (4 - Orsák Jaroslav / Kostka Lukáš): Everything ok. The stages are very nice but very difficult because there is a lot of mud. We are trying to improve our skills. We hit a stone in the last stage but it's okay, a lot of new experience.
09. 11. 2013 13:44 CET 14 flash info (9 - Althaus Nicolas / Ioset Alain): This morning we started with snow tyres in an attempt to catch Olivier Burri. On the whole loop the choice was not good. We limited the damage, trying to put slicks on the front in the third SS but it was not good at all. In the last stage we crossed the tyres and I think it was not too bad.
09. 11. 2013 13:43 CET 14 flash info (1 - Breen Craig / Vanneste Lara): The first three stages were not so bad. In the last one we pushed quite hard. Normally the time should be good, I am quite pleased with this morning. I have to say that the last stage is one of the most beautiful ones I have ever driven in my life, really fantastic. It's like having three completely different rallies in one stage, very beautiful.
09. 11. 2013 13:42 CET 14 flash info (7 - Gryazin Vasily / Chumak Dmitry): The first stage was tough as there was a lot of gravel. The long stage was very challenging. I am very happy with my speed, we continue to learn.
09. 11. 2013 13:41 CET 14 flash info (8 - Burri Olivier / Saucy Andre): We had a lot of concern over this loop, I did not test in the rain with this tyre and I was surprised. I think I could have won the first stage should I had have a little more self-confidence. After in the second stage we have changed some pace notes but we did well. The third was not too bad. In "Les Cols" I made a big mistake, I should have stiffened the car because I left it too soft. We did not find any rain and we were in agony from the first kilometers.
09. 11. 2013 13:40 CET 14 flash info (3 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Not so bad, we just drove safely. It's very easy to make a mistake, now we have quite a big gap to second place and we can just drive safely. Aigner went off on the third corner of the long stage, there is a wooden bridge before the corner which is very slippery when wet, they went straight into the rocks. They are both OK, they walked back to the stage start. The front right end of their car is totally off.
09. 11. 2013 13:30 CET 14 retired (64 - Kaufmann Mathias / Lonfat Colin): accident in SS 14
09. 11. 2013 12:57 CET 14 (5 - Ancian Jérémi / Vitrani Olivier): changed tyre in stage
09. 11. 2013 12:54 CET 14 Rain started when stage was interrupted after Aigner's accident.
09. 11. 2013 12:35 CET 14 Stage was interrupted. Running again.
09. 11. 2013 12:11 CET 14 (9 - Althaus Nicolas / Ioset Alain): damaged front left wheel
09. 11. 2013 12:09 CET 14 retired (2 - Aigner Andreas / Watzl Barbara): accident in SS 14
09. 11. 2013 12:08 CET 14 (4 - Orsák Jaroslav / Kostka Lukáš): slightly broke rear right wheel
09. 11. 2013 11:33 CET 14 Roads reported to be drying out.
09. 11. 2013 12:20 CET 13 Stage stopped after first 11 cars because of medical assistance needed for one spectator. The situation is not related to any rally accident. The rest of crews will get notional times.
09. 11. 2013 11:28 CET 13 (5 - Ancian Jérémi / Vitrani Olivier): Hit a tree by side of the car. Only minor damage reported.
09. 11. 2013 11:12 CET 13 Parts of the stage are on gravel.
09. 11. 2013 10:58 CET 12 retired (23 - Tornay Xavier / Tornay Geoffrey): accident in SS 12
09. 11. 2013 10:57 CET 12 (3 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): had to reverse in a junction
09. 11. 2013 10:56 CET 12 (7 - Gryazin Vasily / Chumak Dmitry): front-right puncture
09. 11. 2013 10:55 CET 12 (4 - Orsák Jaroslav / Kostka Lukáš): was out of road
09. 11. 2013 10:44 CET 12 This stage is mostly gravel one.
09. 11. 2013 09:56 CET 11 A lot of water on the road. Some crews using winter tyres.
08. 11. 2013 21:26 CET 10 flash info (24 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Dubois Thomas): We drove well. We made a cautious tyre choice. We are trying to contain the second driver on a C2 who is behind us in class R2, for the moment all is well.
08. 11. 2013 21:26 CET 10 flash info (22 - Reuche Laurent / Deriaz Jean): The day went well, but as usual in the “Casernes” stage something went wrong. We made no mistake but had a front right puncture without knowing why. It is a waste of time but tomorrow will be a long day, we have seen last year that it is possible to make up time but it is never pleasant to attack all day to gain time and lose it all in the “Casernes” stage.
08. 11. 2013 21:25 CET 10 flash info (16 - Salinas Romain / Micheli Benjamin): The day went much better than yesterday. We gained confidence in the car and the roads which are a bit special. This is my first International rally, I have not done many events with the Megane and had to cope with all of this. Now it's okay. Tomorrow will be a long day with many parts on gravel and conditions which prove difficult. We will try to do well and to bring points to the Renault Sport team.
08. 11. 2013 21:25 CET 10 flash info (27 - Michel Sylvain / Arlettaz Sandra): We changed the set-up of the car a little and we had a lot of fun on the stages this afternoon. We drove freely and we are here tonight, which is important. Tomorrow there is still a long day.
08. 11. 2013 21:25 CET 10 flash info (12 - Perroud Pascal / Marchand Quentin): For me it went crescendo. Yesterday we had a small technical problem with the car, now it is fixed. For me it is above all an opportunity to get back in the action, with slightly difficult conditions as I had not been rallying since six months. To drive a Super 2000 in these conditions is not always straightforward, anyway I really enjoyed myself.
08. 11. 2013 21:24 CET 10 flash info (18 - Gonon Florian / Horgnies Michel): In the afternoon I started to feel the car a little, to play around with it, but the stage times are not there. I do not know what is happening, I'm not very happy. The enjoyment is coming but the stage times do not follow.
08. 11. 2013 21:23 CET 10 flash info (1 - Breen Craig / Vanneste Lara): Not so bad. I didn't have so much confidence in the second pass because in reality for me it was the first as this morning we didn't drive at full speed. It was unfortunate but okay, we're still here.
08. 11. 2013 21:23 CET 10 flash info (4 - Orsák Jaroslav / Kostka Lukáš): A perfect day for me. This is my first start with this car and it's getting better and better every stage. The roads are very nice.
08. 11. 2013 21:22 CET 10 flash info (5 - Ancian Jérémi / Vitrani Olivier): The afternoon went pretty smoothly. The conditions were a little better than this morning, and we drove much faster. I think the tyre choice was the same between the 10 compound and the 20 as Lappi chose was the same. His choice was better in the first stage, ours was in the others. On the whole of the loop we are happy.
08. 11. 2013 21:21 CET 10 flash info (9 - Althaus Nicolas / Ioset Alain): The afternoon was worse than this morning. In the first special stage of the loop we tried something. We were faster than at the first pass but not enough compared to the others who have made good progress. It is also true that they did not know the rally as well as us. We are slightly further down than this morning but we drove well, that's something.
08. 11. 2013 21:21 CET 10 flash info (7 - Gryazin Vasily / Chumak Dmitry): The afternoon was very good for me. I am really tired after this day, not physically but mentally. The stages are very fast and require a lot of concentration. I've never driven on roads like this. Tomorrow will be easier after today's exercise. I had the same situation in the recce; I had a bad headache after the first day and the second day was very easy, so I think it'll be better tomorrow.
08. 11. 2013 21:20 CET 10 flash info (8 - Burri Olivier / Saucy Andre): I thought I had driven well in the first stage but I noticed that the others were much faster. We can see that they have the pace of the World Championship. In the second we did a little better while in the third one we lost time again. On the last SS the road was destroyed. This is a road position problem. I was already penalized yesterday by being eighth. Tomorrow the fight will not be by the second, but by 30sec per stage. The weather might be bad, and especially if we are not allowed to fit proper rain tyres I do not even know if I will restart.
08. 11. 2013 21:20 CET 10 flash info (2 - Aigner Andreas / Watzl Barbara): Overall the day was fantastic. In the afternoon on the long stage things went as I had expected. I thought I would lose time in the morning as well but there we were really close. Finally I am very happy with the performance. A good fight with Esapekka, he did very good stage times in the afternoon. Tomorrow will for sure be a long day. If the stages are under 15 km everything is OK with the car, beyond that point it starts overheating and then it's not possible to push 120% anymore, just 110%.
08. 11. 2013 21:19 CET 10 flash info (3 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I had more confidence in the afternoon loop and the grip was better. We increased our pace a bit. We had no problems so it has been very enjoyable.

08. 11. 2013 09:42 CET 4 (10 - Hotz Grégoire / Ravasi Pietro): had technical problem and left service before SS 4 later
08. 11. 2013 08:56 CET 4 Weather in Sion is sunny, temperature around 5. On stages is temperature around +2, roads are cold and mostly damp, stages are on south part of mountains almost without sunshine during moring.
07. 11. 2013 23:17 CET 3 flash info (5 - Ancian Jérémi / Vitrani Olivier): It went very well overall. I was told before the start that the roads were very slippery and this is indeed the case. I wish I could have changed some settings before SS 2 unfortunately we got stopped by the police and did not have time to. I think it could have been better in the fast sections. The second stage was more degraded than the first, as soon as the surface was rough we did not take any risks, the rally is still long.
07. 11. 2013 23:16 CET 3 flash info (1 - Breen Craig / Vanneste Lara): We had very good stage times and we should be leading so I'm very happy. There were some road works on a road section and that is why everybody was running late.
07. 11. 2013 23:12 CET 3 flash info (15 - Consani Robert / Landais Vincent): It's not too bad, we're here despite a puncture in the last stage. It's very tricky, the car was sliding, I was on the throttle and when it regained grip it completely changed direction and I hit a rock. I thought it would be worse, but at first glance this seems to be only a puncture. Happy to be here, to have found a car with brakes that work, I'm regaining self-confidence after the last rallies where it was not good at all. In the end we could have lost a lot more. It is a slow puncture on the last lap which did not overly penalize us.
07. 11. 2013 23:11 CET 3 flash info (18 - Gonon Florian / Horgnies Michel): A little bit difficult for me, I need to discover this car and it is not easy. In the second stage I had no intercom. The rally is still long.
07. 11. 2013 23:09 CET 3 flash info (4 - Orsák Jaroslav / Kostka Lukáš): The day was OK. It's our first rally with this car. We are very happy and take it as a test for the next season. Stages are beautiful but very difficult, slippery, we will see tomorrow.
07. 11. 2013 23:07 CET 3 flash info (9 - Althaus Nicolas / Ioset Alain): The day was not too good. We got lost in the settings and the others in front are very fast. We based ourselves on our race in Rally Valli Cuneesi against Albertini looking at his times in Sanremo and thought it would be much better but the others are not playing. We hope that we will wake up tomorrow and that it will get better.
07. 11. 2013 23:06 CET 3 flash info (11 - Carron Sébastien / Revaz Lucien): Not easy, our settings were too hard at the beginning then we tried to ease them a little. It's not easy, I do not have a very good feeling with the car, but it is true that the roads are very slippery. For us who are not used to driving with these cars it is complicated.
07. 11. 2013 23:05 CET 3 flash info (10 - Hotz Grégoire / Ravasi Pietro): We did well in the first stage, but lost a lot in the other two. The guys in front are very, very fast. Tomorrow we will have to move.
07. 11. 2013 23:04 CET 3 flash info (7 - Gryazin Vasily / Chumak Dmitry): It was a good day. I think this last stage was very slippery. It's only my second rally on tarmac.
07. 11. 2013 23:03 CET 3 flash info (8 - Burri Olivier / Saucy Andre): This is not a good day for me. I have not been able to test and I lack feeling. I am left-foot braking too much, I do not let go of the car. It is the lack of kilometres compared to other drivers which penalizes me. I have not driven this car for seven months. I cannot free myself and go into the corners as I should, I have no confidence in the front of the car for now.
07. 11. 2013 23:02 CET 3 flash info (3 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Not so bad, except the first stage where we had a spin. The mountain stages are mostly dry but there are some places where it's wet, so you have to be careful all the time. This superspecial in here was quite funny, so much mud on the road, it was fun to play with the car.
07. 11. 2013 23:01 CET 3 flash info (2 - Aigner Andreas / Watzl Barbara): It's going quite well, it's nice to drive let's say without pressure. We secured the Production Cup title in Sanremo so for me it's nice to drive here just to test the tyres and have fun. Road conditions were quite good for the Subaru, it's quite slippery and sometimes the feeling is like being on ice so I was really surprised at the first corner. So far, so good, I enjoy.
07. 11. 2013 16:59 CET 3 (15 - Consani Robert / Landais Vincent): hit the stone
07. 11. 2013 15:45 CET 2 (5 - Ancian Jérémi / Vitrani Olivier): was delayed by police before start
07. 11. 2013 15:43 CET 2 (1 - Breen Craig / Vanneste Lara): was delayed by police before start

07. 11. 2013 13:08 CET 1 Weather in Martigny is sunny, temperature around 15. Roads are dry, only some damp parts.
