| INFORMATION ABOUT SS 3 | |
| (60 - Cronin Keith / Clarke Marshall): spun | |
|  (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal):
            Happy that I finish the stages. The last stage was quite ok, the first two stages I was completely lost. | |
| (22 - Sołowow Michał / Patterson Chris): problems with driveshaft | |
|  (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko):
            Really tricky stages, quite slippery this one. Looking forward to a long day tomorrow. We always want to be higher up, but it will come. | |
|  (10 - Kubica Robert / Ferrara Michele):
            Not the easiest start. Where we felt confident with the pace notes it went ok. | |
|  (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo):
            Quite alright, considering trying to find a good rhythm. We se how it goes tomorrow. The car feels okay, but I am not sure which wear to go. | |
| No quotes, reporter Colin Clark got puncture on liaison to the stage. | |
