Date and time SS Information
05. 07. 2015 22:33 CET 19 retired (5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): retired after SS 19
05. 07. 2015 13:07 CET 19 flash info (64 - Pryce Osian / Furniss Dale): The car was still not right. There was a spot in the middle of the last stage where it was missing a bit. We were not sure what to do.
05. 07. 2015 13:06 CET 19 flash info (52 - Tempestini Simone / Chiarcossi Matteo): I enjoy a lot. I love the Poland stage. I just needed to keep the concentration.
05. 07. 2015 13:04 CET 19 flash info (36 - Kruuda Karl / Järveoja Martin): It was a strong weekend. If you compare with the WRCs we didn a good job with a weaker car. Without the puncture it would have been more interesting.
05. 07. 2015 13:03 CET 19 flash info (40 - Tidemand Pontus / Axelsson Emil): First and second for Skoda and that is perfect. We had a good speed. If we are in good shape, then we will do our best in Finland.
05. 07. 2015 13:02 CET 19 flash info (43 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I cannot be more satisfied. We only had to push on Friday, and from then on just controlling. We made good pace notes and thanks to the team - the car was perfect.
05. 07. 2015 13:01 CET 19 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): I think we learned a lot - and there's more to come. We will try to do more in Finland. No Rally 2 this time. This is only the beginning.
05. 07. 2015 12:55 CET 19 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): This year we had so many great win, no one wanted to help us on Saturday. Great achievement and happy to win this one. Still you see it on Sunday, I don’t have to push so much to have the best time. I am so happy with this victory, we have to push from the first to the last.
05. 07. 2015 12:50 CET 19 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): We are more close than ever, Sweden was a great result, but it was a home rally. This was probably my best rally.
05. 07. 2015 12:46 CET 19 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): I pushed hard… I am so happy for the team, they have done so much. I am so happy. Now we are starting to prove ourself, it means so much to me. I really don’t have any words. I am really happy we had the speed. It means a lot for us, we have done a big job, but we still have to keep working.
05. 07. 2015 12:45 CET 19 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): After one left hander, I went too fast into the corner and we hit a tree. The radiator is broken and we have to get to the finish.
05. 07. 2015 12:45 CET 19 (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): was out of the road and hit a tree
05. 07. 2015 12:41 CET 19 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It’s not a podium, but it is as good a result as it in Sardinia. We are close to the top.
05. 07. 2015 12:40 CET 19 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I was surprised this morning, otherwise good weekend, we did a good job, but we make some mistakes with the tyre choice. We have felt much more comfortable (in the car). Now we have to be better on tyres choices and we will be back soon.
05. 07. 2015 12:39 CET 19 flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): It has been disappointing, we hit the rock on the straight line, could not do anything. It has been good weekend for us, a bit unlucky on the last stage. We came here realistically that we finish between 8 and 10, we finish between 6 and 8.
05. 07. 2015 12:39 CET 19 (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): puncture
05. 07. 2015 12:38 CET 19 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): It’s difficult, our weekend was over before it was started. If you cannot find that pure commitment on these roads, you are lost. We put this one in the bank and move onto the next one.
05. 07. 2015 12:27 CET 19 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It's been a struggle, the times have been quite good, but we're looking to Finland.
05. 07. 2015 12:25 CET 19 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): Not many positives here, not a very good rally for us. Too cautious with the pacenotes.
05. 07. 2015 12:22 CET 19 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): Some good moments, but some bad too. Real bad at the beginning. We have to work.
05. 07. 2015 12:19 CET 19 flash info (5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): This was a difficult weekend for us, not easy, we'll be on it in Finland!
05. 07. 2015 22:32 CET 18 retired (107 - Van Den Brand Mats / Wydaeghe Martijn): retired in SS 18
05. 07. 2015 22:32 CET 18 retired (88 - Sikorski Grzegorz / Jurgała Michał): time limit exceeded in TC 18B
05. 07. 2015 22:31 CET 18 retired (47 - Hirschi Jonathan / Landais Vincent): time limit exceeded in TC 18B
05. 07. 2015 13:05 CET 18 flash info (49 - Hołowczyc Krzysztof / Kurzeja Łukasz): It was sand in long corner and I pushed the bank and the tyre was gone from the rim. It happened. 23 is a lot of Rally Polands for me. I still believe I can come for two years and make 25. I enjoy with the Polish spectators and the best drivers in the world.
05. 07. 2015 12:05 CET 18 (49 - Hołowczyc Krzysztof / Kurzeja Łukasz): puncture
05. 07. 2015 10:10 CET 18 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I knew that I just have to do my job, like always. That was a clean push, let's see on the power stage.
05. 07. 2015 10:09 CET 18 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): That was a clean stage for us, of course you can push to the limit in certain places. Close to perfect.
05. 07. 2015 10:08 CET 18 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): I expected enough from Jari! It was an all-out push in here, we've had a really good rally.
05. 07. 2015 10:07 CET 18 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I pushed really, really hard. There were a few places where I made some mistakes. Sometimes this can happen. The first 6kms went really, really well. After that, I think we might have pushed too much.
05. 07. 2015 10:07 CET 18 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): There was no pressure, we took it nice and easy through here.
05. 07. 2015 10:06 CET 18 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I took a cut, I had no choice but to go for the line and I rolled the car. We were lucky.
05. 07. 2015 10:05 CET 18 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): A lot of cleaning in this stage, but it's only going to get faster and faster. Our weekend was over before it started.
05. 07. 2015 10:04 CET 18 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): We will have to see. Feeling is not so bad, quite a careful run through there for me. Want to enjoy the stages.
05. 07. 2015 10:04 CET 18 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): You can't see the lines. It's different to yesterday, we need to try harder, drive faster.
05. 07. 2015 10:03 CET 18 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): I tried to get the speed, want to be ready for Finland. That's all you can do.
05. 07. 2015 10:03 CET 18 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): I could see a nice line, we just want to finish the rally though.
05. 07. 2015 10:02 CET 18 flash info (10 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): Where Elfyn goes in, I go in too [the cuts]. I wish I could get the notes correct though.
05. 07. 2015 10:00 CET 18 (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): rolled
05. 07. 2015 09:59 CET 18 flash info (5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Not great, a lot of loose in there, soft at the beginning. Felt like it was taking power from the car.
04. 07. 2015 21:00 CET 17 flash info (10 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): We struggle a little bit. We weren’t on the pace and I know exactly why. Tomorrow we will be second on the road, so the road cleaning will be good experience. Let’s see if we can increase the pace.
04. 07. 2015 21:00 CET 17 flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): It has been quite tricky day and it went ok for us. Although I struggle a bit on hard tyres. Is great atmosphere, a lot of spectators and tomorrow there will be a huge crowd.
04. 07. 2015 20:55 CET 17 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): Close again, I feel we did a good job.
04. 07. 2015 20:55 CET 17 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): We are close to the boys now and I feel really good. We have to do the same tomorrow, we are in a good position. I think this is the first one where I have been constantly fast all the time. I have been enjoying this.
04. 07. 2015 20:49 CET 17 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): Not really happy, but it is okay. We are still here. I am not really happy with the performance.
04. 07. 2015 20:44 CET 17 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): All in all I am very pleased with myself and the job we have done. Again, not perfect tyre choice. I make a mistake again this afternoon, but we did not do too bad and lose too much time.
04. 07. 2015 20:44 CET 17 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Not too easy, but happy enough. This afternoon when we went onto the hard tyres we managed to get a bit more confidence.
04. 07. 2015 20:44 CET 17 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): I am happy with my day. It is a shame that stage got cancelled. Difficult out here now with the hards (tyres) when they watered the whole track. It was really difficult with the amount of grip we had. We will see tomorrow, that would be one hell of an attack if we try.
04. 07. 2015 20:43 CET 17 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was better than the last run, but still I think I could have done a better job. We need to a little bit improve for tomorrow overall.
04. 07. 2015 20:38 CET 17 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It was a hot day.
04. 07. 2015 20:37 CET 17 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Ready to continue the fight until the end. I am very happy with the day, being in the lead is something fantastic. I think it promise to be exciting to the end.
04. 07. 2015 20:23 CET 17 Stage will be delayed for 8 minutes.
05. 07. 2015 00:44 CET 16 retired (78 - Foulon Alain / Delarche Gilles): retired after SS 16
04. 07. 2015 19:11 CET 16 (64 - Pryce Osian / Furniss Dale): problems with engine
04. 07. 2015 18:33 CET 16 flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): Quite a lot of dust in some places. A few places the visibility was zero!
04. 07. 2015 18:32 CET 16 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): I really didn't know how we were doing in the middle stage, but it was a great run. We will push hard tomorrow. I think it's good that somebody is fighting with the VW's.
04. 07. 2015 18:31 CET 16 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): For sure it was a good choice [tyres]. Not so easy though, very difficult.
04. 07. 2015 18:30 CET 16 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Lot of understeer at the front, nearly came off the road a few times. But we're happy. For sure we've had a strong event, but we need to find some consistency.
04. 07. 2015 18:30 CET 16 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): Wrong choice for tyres for me. Difficult to see the road, we tried to push hard.
04. 07. 2015 18:20 CET 16 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I think we made the right call, little problem with dust in here though. That's the way it is.
04. 07. 2015 18:16 CET 16 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Soft tyres, the car is moving around a lot, I had a good stage but I couldn't do more. Plenty of corners were flat this morning. The soft worked better yesterday afternoon.
04. 07. 2015 18:15 CET 16 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): We had a good run on this stage, it's just that I've struggled this morning in the rally. I should have been able to do these times this morning. There was a bit of dust, but not a problem.
04. 07. 2015 18:14 CET 16 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): There is so much dust, I can't see, it's so difficult. I really pushed to the max!
04. 07. 2015 18:13 CET 16 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Just the wrong pacenote, but it was not a problem. No issues, quite a lot of dust.
04. 07. 2015 18:12 CET 16 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I was quite happy with my tyres earlier but we were moving a lot, so I made a different choice, it's working. This morning was a perfect run for me, this time almost perfect, let's see the times behind.
05. 07. 2015 01:55 CET 15 retired (66 - Perry Jean-René / Reibel Joshua): retired in SS 15
04. 07. 2015 19:10 CET 15 (64 - Pryce Osian / Furniss Dale): problems with engine
04. 07. 2015 18:07 CET 15 flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): It was okay, for us it was a clean stage.
04. 07. 2015 18:07 CET 15 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): Now we have the feeling, it was really slippery in the beginning, but it's slowly getting better.
04. 07. 2015 18:06 CET 15 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Had a bit of a mental reset this afternoon, i'm feeling good.
04. 07. 2015 18:06 CET 15 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): Maybe I don't do this stage well before, but now I do it well, i'm happy.
04. 07. 2015 18:05 CET 15 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): 3 hards, little more interesting on the right handers than the lefts. Will make my next choice on the road.
04. 07. 2015 18:04 CET 15 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I found the rhythm straightaway, I had quite a good stage. The hard tyres are working.
04. 07. 2015 18:03 CET 15 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I need all the stages now to run, it's very important, we're in a big fight. A good stage. The car is good, I was struggling this morning but i'm feeling a lot better with the car now.
04. 07. 2015 18:02 CET 15 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): 2 hard tyres. We were a bit faster on this one, give it a good push on the next one too.
04. 07. 2015 18:01 CET 15 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): I was really looking forward to this afternoon. With my driving and the car, it's working better.
04. 07. 2015 18:00 CET 15 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I think we saw a cow. Yes it's nice to be out driving again, very fast, good stage for me.
04. 07. 2015 17:17 CET 14 SS14 has been cancelled due to large crowds, possible unsafe spectating, moving directly to SS15
04. 07. 2015 19:33 CET 13 retired (88 - Sikorski Grzegorz / Jurgała Michał): retired in SS 13
04. 07. 2015 14:07 CET 13 retired (69 - Koči Martin / Kostka Lukáš): accident in SS 13
04. 07. 2015 13:08 CET 13 flash info (40 - Tidemand Pontus / Axelsson Emil): We can take a few seconds here and there but he took far too much yesterday, That's life.
04. 07. 2015 13:04 CET 13 flash info (43 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): A bit tricky with the driving, to be honest. We had to reverse in a hairpin, so not perfect, but we will fight back in the afternoon.
04. 07. 2015 13:03 CET 13 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): We overshoot more than once. We have a spin and I do not know what is in the field.
04. 07. 2015 13:03 CET 13 (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): puncture
04. 07. 2015 13:00 CET 13 (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): was out of road
04. 07. 2015 13:00 CET 13 flash info (10 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): Still learning… A jump on the previous one, we removed everything so it may look a little bit bad. It was a very very slippery stage. On this stage, in the village, I got caught out and I got stuck for two or three minutes.
04. 07. 2015 12:53 CET 13 flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): It has been very nice stage for us. We do not have a lot of grip but I was consistent smooth driving.The last part of the stage we use yesterday in the other direction so it was quite rutted.
04. 07. 2015 12:53 CET 13 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): I did not have a perfect stage in this one, struggling in a couple of junctions. It is getting really rough in places. We did not do it quite well all the stage.
04. 07. 2015 12:52 CET 13 (10 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): was out of road
04. 07. 2015 12:50 CET 13 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): I travel through the last few kilometres with overheated tyres. With the understeering, we went off.
04. 07. 2015 12:50 CET 13 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It has been going alright, it started well. Struggled with the ruts on the last part of this one.
04. 07. 2015 12:50 CET 13 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): I try to push but this stage was very bad. The stage notes are not so good, I cannot do nothing.
04. 07. 2015 12:37 CET 13 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): A few places you catch the ruts, but that is not my biggest problem.
04. 07. 2015 12:35 CET 13 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The first stage I tried to push, the car was working quite well. I think I have set a good time, I am quite pleased.
04. 07. 2015 12:33 CET 13 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I thought we had a good run but it looks like we had a very bad run. I cannot catch him with the speed we are having now. The target we have is if we can get to the podium is the most realistic situation.
04. 07. 2015 12:30 CET 13 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): This stage was not a really good one for us. We did a couple of mistakes in the beginning. We will keep on trying.
04. 07. 2015 12:26 CET 13 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Stage is very nice, beautiful stage. A little rougher. A bit up and down, we have done two quite good stages in a row. This stage bad feeling, not a good stage.
04. 07. 2015 12:24 CET 13 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Really happy, great loop this morning for us. Not clean at all, quite slippy, but happy with my drive. The tyre look like new for me, no problem at all.
04. 07. 2015 14:15 CET 12 (69 - Koči Martin / Kostka Lukáš): puncture
04. 07. 2015 11:25 CET 12 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): It was better, but we had a big moment over a crest.
04. 07. 2015 11:24 CET 12 flash info (10 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): We had a flat crest, should have been slight right, we landed in the bushes. It does not feel like there is any damage. We had to slow down as there was high water temperature, then it went away.
04. 07. 2015 11:24 CET 12 flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): We have small off in one corner, onto the grass, we lose maybe one second. We are struggling with movement on the tyres. I am happy with the driving and that is most important.
04. 07. 2015 11:24 CET 12 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): This stage was actually quite tricky, some places were quite tricky. I think we just keep driving like we are and see what happens at the front.
04. 07. 2015 11:23 CET 12 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): The stage was nice, we enjoy it. No problem for me.
04. 07. 2015 11:23 CET 12 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): First 6 kms was so slippery, really messy, bouncing off things. But then the last 15 kms when the road opened up, it was better.
04. 07. 2015 11:23 CET 12 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): The stage is fine. I thought to do better time as I pushed really hard.
04. 07. 2015 11:00 CET 12 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Steady, there is no steady in Poland. I am going as hard as I can, it is far from steady.
04. 07. 2015 10:59 CET 12 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It is a proper rally stage, flat out. I try to have clean run, check my pace notes. Not very pleased, but ok. I am in a quite good position, I would prefer to be a bit faster.
04. 07. 2015 10:54 CET 12 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I thought I was driving well, there was a couple of stones places and maybe I was a little too careful. Feels difficult.
04. 07. 2015 10:51 CET 12 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): We would like to take some time back, the last stage was good. This one I was a bit too careful in places and lift off. I see some of the lines and see it is not very perfect.
04. 07. 2015 10:47 CET 12 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): This morning was quite straightforward tyre choice, but we are seeing such high temperatures. Always the first loop is a good indication of what we will see for the next loop.
04. 07. 2015 10:44 CET 12 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Very happy with my drive, I did everything this morning. For sure I lose a bit of time. It is normal with being first on the road, I just have to wait for better conditions. This morning I am really pleased, close to perfect stage, it is really nice driving.
04. 07. 2015 13:02 CET 11 retired (77 - Uger Sergey / Larens Sergei): retired after SS 11
04. 07. 2015 13:02 CET 11 retired (39 - Al-Attiyah Nasser / Baumel Matthieu): retired after SS 11
04. 07. 2015 10:33 CET 11 flash info (38 - Ketomaa Jari / Lindström Kaj): The left front wheel hub is bent, and that's affecting our braking.
04. 07. 2015 10:24 CET 11 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): Just make it through this day. The first stage was a bit better. The pace is not so good but for the moment this is what we can do.
04. 07. 2015 10:14 CET 11 flash info (10 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): We got the balance right, I can use the car as I want, but most important is the feeling with the brakes. It takes a bit longer for me to trust the brakes. For the car I think we stay like this, just some minor things to improve.
04. 07. 2015 10:11 CET 11 flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): I think I gain a bit as there was quite a lot of cleaning. In the narrow part it was sandy and I do not have the precision, otherwise we can be happy.
04. 07. 2015 10:06 CET 11 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): It was a lot better, but it is really fast and not so many corners. I am just driving as I have been driving so far. I just do my best and we see where we can go. I just keep going as I am going.
04. 07. 2015 10:06 CET 11 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): I had a good sleep, I have the feeling now, maybe I can trust the car a bit more, may be push a bit more. I am really enjoying the driving, very stable in the long corners.
04. 07. 2015 10:01 CET 11 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We have proved the small changes we made. The driving needs a bit of tidying up in places.
04. 07. 2015 10:01 CET 11 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): It was good. I can be happy. I try to go faster and faster.
04. 07. 2015 09:54 CET 11 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Trying to find that extra bit of confidence, we just have to get through now.
04. 07. 2015 09:53 CET 11 retired (5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): technical problem - water pump before SS 11
04. 07. 2015 09:53 CET 11 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I had a quite consistent stage all the way through. I see I lose quite a bit towards the end.
04. 07. 2015 09:49 CET 11 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I am not completely satisfied. My performance is not where I want it to be. The car is fine, but I cannot attack corners, sometimes I take them too carefully.
04. 07. 2015 09:45 CET 11 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): It was better, still one place it was on the limit with dust, but it was better. lean stage for us, very close to a perfect run. The confidence is back, we want to fight.
04. 07. 2015 09:43 CET 11 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It was just slight dust, quite a good stage for me. I am happy now, not so happy on the last stage. You need to try some things some time. Now I can focus on myself.
04. 07. 2015 09:42 CET 11 (5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): problems with water pump before SS 11
04. 07. 2015 09:41 CET 11 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Really happy with my drive, perfect two stages. This one I expect to lose a bit. I push all the time, the target is I don’t lose too much and gain a bit on the second loop.
04. 07. 2015 09:34 CET 11 Since SS 11 cars will start in three minutes gaps.
04. 07. 2015 11:27 CET 10 retired (47 - Hirschi Jonathan / Landais Vincent): technical problem - engine after SS 10
04. 07. 2015 11:27 CET 10 retired (60 - Gilbert Quentin / Jamoul Renaud): retired after SS 10
04. 07. 2015 09:57 CET 10 (60 - Gilbert Quentin / Jamoul Renaud): problems with clutch
04. 07. 2015 09:33 CET 10 flash info (76 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): No problems, just a little bit too careful in there.
04. 07. 2015 09:33 CET 10 flash info (36 - Kruuda Karl / Järveoja Martin): I'm not giving up on the fight, but when I saw their pace off the line - wow. I'm driving well, but they are too.
04. 07. 2015 09:32 CET 10 flash info (40 - Tidemand Pontus / Axelsson Emil): I'm just driving at my own speed. We made a few changes to the car, with different damper clicks, and the car feels really good.
04. 07. 2015 09:32 CET 10 flash info (43 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's all about defending the lead now. We took it steady but I'm not the guy who needs to push today. It's not frustrating, just all part of the learning process.
04. 07. 2015 09:04 CET 10 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): This is a bad stage. The car is perfect.
04. 07. 2015 09:02 CET 10 flash info (10 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): It was a fantastic stage, the car brake much better today, I am really pleased.
04. 07. 2015 09:00 CET 10 flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): We had a spin, I had to stop, go reverse and we lost a lot of time.
04. 07. 2015 09:00 CET 10 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): At the beginning of the stage we had to turn round and go back.
04. 07. 2015 08:57 CET 10 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): The feeling is quite good. A little bit work on the setup in service last night and I sleep well. Today I slept well and it is better.
04. 07. 2015 08:56 CET 10 (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): spun
04. 07. 2015 08:55 CET 10 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It felt really bad. I was trying to get on the throttle early. The car is working, the times not bad but I was not happy from a driving point of view on this stage.
04. 07. 2015 08:54 CET 10 (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): spun
04. 07. 2015 08:53 CET 10 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): It was not so bad to be honest. I was happy at the start, a bit more comfortable. A little bit better than yesterday.
04. 07. 2015 08:49 CET 10 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): We are where we are. The wind cannot get in, so quite a bit of dust.
04. 07. 2015 08:49 CET 10 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was ok, not a perfect stage, quite dusty under the trees. I took it a bit steady, but it is the first stage of the day and there is more to come.
04. 07. 2015 08:46 CET 10 flash info (5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): We had a stall on the start line, we had a terrible start and it did not get better from there on in. Everything was working with the car. We need to do better.
04. 07. 2015 08:46 CET 10 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It's not very nice, but that's the situation. One of those times when it's an advantage being first on the road.
04. 07. 2015 08:42 CET 10 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): We are trying to fight for a victory here and I cannot see anything in there, it is so dusty. I do not see where I turn into the corner in the forest. I hope the organisers do something, it will really spoil the event.
04. 07. 2015 08:40 CET 10 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): We try again with a new setup and it was not so easy. I can do quite a lot with the car on the road section.
04. 07. 2015 08:39 CET 10 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): A lot of loose. Good stage, really nice drive, really clean, but lets see what the cleaning cost me.
03. 07. 2015 19:36 CET 9 flash info (10 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): Really productive, we struggle with some things on the car from the beginning. For us it has been a great day and to finish the day like this. The tyres in this afternoons loop we started with the tyres we use on yesterday’s super special. We had four hards with us and we saved some tyres.
03. 07. 2015 19:36 CET 9 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): It has been difficult, but compared to the other rally, I am positive for the future.
03. 07. 2015 19:35 CET 9 flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): It was difficult afternoon with the tyres and the tyre choice. It has been good day for us. In the beginning of the day it was difficult to find a rhythm for us, but step by step we improve. For us it is quite straightforward, quite clear tyre choice.
03. 07. 2015 19:35 CET 9 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): Another nice stage and finally service, we can fix all the problems we have. We have to start flat out immediately in the morning.
03. 07. 2015 19:35 CET 9 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): The morning was really bad, so it was better and better through the day. Now we won the stage and make us more and more ready for tomorrow.
03. 07. 2015 19:34 CET 9 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We had two softs as well. I think it was a durability thing. We need to make a few changes to the car and to the pace notes and try to increase the pace for tomorrow, it has not been where we want it.
03. 07. 2015 19:27 CET 9 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): This afternoon we went completely the wrong choice of tyres. We were not able to manage them at all, we went right down to the wire. We come here with very little experience.
03. 07. 2015 19:27 CET 9 flash info (5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Not an enjoyable afternoon at all. Big mistake on the tyre side. We have to forget it now and get on with it tomorrow. I think people will think a bit harder about it. New stages does not necessarily mean it is the same as last year.
03. 07. 2015 19:27 CET 9 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): We were not on the correct tyre choice. Happy with my day, I did one mistake where we lost 4 or 5 seconds and we are only 2-seconds behind Ogier so I am happy with that.
03. 07. 2015 19:27 CET 9 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): The stages have been incredibly hard for the tyres. We managed well. I think we did a good tyre choice and we will see tomorrow.
03. 07. 2015 19:25 CET 8 flash info (36 - Kruuda Karl / Järveoja Martin): The main goal is to keep a calm head. The Skoda is a good car - I'm pushing my Citroen hard.
03. 07. 2015 17:52 CET 8 retired (32 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Prévot Stéphane): technical problem - engine in SS 8
03. 07. 2015 17:52 CET 8 flash info (45 - Maurin Julien / Klinger Nicolas): I'm fighting for a podium place, so we couldn't afford to take it easy. We went off and I'm very disappointed.
03. 07. 2015 17:51 CET 8 flash info (43 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): That was the roughest stage of the rally for me. Deep ruts and lots of rocks. I took it easy in there.
03. 07. 2015 17:51 CET 8 flash info (40 - Tidemand Pontus / Axelsson Emil): Maybe tomorrow I can try some things to catch him, but to do that would involve taking more risks. We'll have to check what the team wants to do.
03. 07. 2015 17:51 CET 8 flash info (38 - Ketomaa Jari / Lindström Kaj): Not a very good rally for me so far.
03. 07. 2015 17:25 CET 8 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): We get a puncture the stage before and this one, we got a spin and we lost 10 or 12 sections.
03. 07. 2015 17:25 CET 8 flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): We are not able to push. We have to concentrate trying to finish today. We had to replace one tyre as big hole. We try to drive smoothly and finish.
03. 07. 2015 17:25 CET 8 flash info (10 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): Tough but really enjoyable. We had a brake issue from the beginning which we could not solve. We worked around it. I thought at one point I had a puncture, big rocks on the road, but all seems to be ok.
03. 07. 2015 17:16 CET 8 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): The last stage was the last like the long one, it was really not stable, I tried to push the car. I hope we will decide tomorrow the right tyres. The last two stages we were struggling with the tyre choice.
03. 07. 2015 17:13 CET 8 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Tyre wise it was fine, the road was a little cut up more than I thought it would. It has not been a bad day.
03. 07. 2015 17:10 CET 8 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): I put two hard tyres and it is a long stage. The time was not so great, try to do better tomorrow.
03. 07. 2015 17:10 CET 8 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): We were off into a field, completely no grip. The left rear was letting go everywhere. This is the way, let’s see what we do tomorrow.
03. 07. 2015 17:06 CET 8 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It is moving a lot, losing six seconds, it is ok.
03. 07. 2015 17:06 CET 8 (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): was off road
03. 07. 2015 17:05 CET 8 flash info (5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): We were too careful for sure.
03. 07. 2015 17:03 CET 8 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I am generally happy as one of the tyres is in not so great shape. It is amazing how you can push the tyres even though you have no tread left.
03. 07. 2015 17:03 CET 8 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): It has been good day, just one big mistake from my side. I am happy enough. All possibilities are still open, something to learn from.
03. 07. 2015 16:59 CET 8 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Did Ogier slow down or did I do something? The time is good, I enjoyed that, the feeling was very similar to what we did previously today. I think my problem today is that I am using my brain.
03. 07. 2015 16:57 CET 8 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I have no idea where I damaged front bumper. Must be a cut as I did not feel anything. Some guy are coming behind. My tyre were quite gone. I am still very happy with this day.
03. 07. 2015 19:49 CET 7 Stage was stopped after crash st.no.75. Other crews will obtain notional time.
03. 07. 2015 19:26 CET 7 (36 - Kruuda Karl / Järveoja Martin): puncture
03. 07. 2015 18:03 CET 7 retired (81 - Crugnola Andrea / Ferrara Michele): technical problem - gearbox in SS 7
03. 07. 2015 17:11 CET 7 retired (75 - Raczkowski Radosław / Gospodarczyk Szymon): accident in SS 7
03. 07. 2015 16:20 CET 7 flash info (43 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): No dramas, no problems and no reason to push harder. The feeling is good.
03. 07. 2015 16:20 CET 7 (32 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Prévot Stéphane): problems with oil pressure
03. 07. 2015 16:20 CET 7 flash info (40 - Tidemand Pontus / Axelsson Emil): eally fun, so fast and flowing. Esapekka is going very well, he already has quite a lead, but I'll keep pushing.
03. 07. 2015 16:19 CET 7 flash info (38 - Ketomaa Jari / Lindström Kaj): We hit a rock and now the brake pedal goes right to the floor. I don't understand why I'm having so many problems.
03. 07. 2015 15:51 CET 7 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): I have no idea how it happen.
03. 07. 2015 15:51 CET 7 (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): puncture
03. 07. 2015 15:45 CET 7 flash info (10 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): Since the first stage I have not really been enjoying myself. I have a problem with the brakes. The notes are better and we try to push.
03. 07. 2015 15:44 CET 7 flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): It is not easy. We have clean run through, that is good. We have to continue like this. No big moments and some quick driving, that is good. The roads are incredible.
03. 07. 2015 15:44 CET 7 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): No brakes, no tyres… It is done, one more stage. Same thing with the brakes.
03. 07. 2015 15:44 CET 7 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): The feeling was really strange. Last 20 kilometres I have some problem with the front right, I did not trust the car.
03. 07. 2015 15:44 CET 7 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It was good, we put the 4 hards tyres on, really struggled on the first 4 or 5 kilometres. One stage to go we can put the softs back on which are in good knick, a good way to finish the day.
03. 07. 2015 15:43 CET 7 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): This is too soft tyres for this stage.
03. 07. 2015 15:43 CET 7 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Wrong tyre choice. The temperature has really got up now. Half way through the stage I was trying to mind the tyres.
03. 07. 2015 15:42 CET 7 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I drive very smooth, the tyres could have gone quite quick. I had the feeling that the hard was not getting the right grip, I tried to manage.
03. 07. 2015 15:28 CET 7 flash info (5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): We went off. No grip whatsoever and I couldn't stop. Not good.
03. 07. 2015 15:25 CET 7 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was good, had to focus to keep it on the clean line. We had one big impact and I was worried about puncture but the Michelin tyres are so good.
03. 07. 2015 15:24 CET 7 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): It was a clean stage but the feeling. You do a mistake when the feeling is not properly so I decided to drop to 98%.
03. 07. 2015 15:24 CET 7 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It was sliding a bit. I can manage the soft tyres.
03. 07. 2015 15:20 CET 7 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I was a little bit too aggressive with my tyre choice. We have a spare now but we have a slick tyre on the car.
03. 07. 2015 19:29 CET 6 retired (71 - Sousa Bernardo / Magalhães Hugo): technical problem - fuel pump after SS 6
03. 07. 2015 15:16 CET 6 flash info (43 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): That was brilliant. Not many mistakes at all. There was a huge rock in one corner which I managed to avoid. If I had time to miss it I must be able to go faster.
03. 07. 2015 15:03 CET 6 flash info (40 - Tidemand Pontus / Axelsson Emil): Of course I'm going to try and chase Lappi. The car is working well, I just need to get on the throttle earlier after the corners.
03. 07. 2015 15:00 CET 6 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): I am happy for the tyre choice. I think our pace is not so bad at the end. Maybe stage by stage improve our pace.
03. 07. 2015 14:59 CET 6 flash info (10 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): Now it has been quite a good stage The pace notes were quite okay. There are things to improve, but now at least in some places we can push the car and see how it behaves.
03. 07. 2015 14:59 CET 6 flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): It has been good run through. We did chose different tyres to the others.
03. 07. 2015 14:59 CET 6 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): It is quite ok in places. The tyres are getting really soft so we have to manage the tyres. We have to go smoothly.
03. 07. 2015 14:59 CET 6 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): Just a little bit better, when the road is clean I feel better and see the lines. This one we enjoy.
03. 07. 2015 14:59 CET 6 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Got 4 hards for the long stage. On the first one I did not like the way the tyres were moving around. No problems, the time is a little bit better than I expected.
03. 07. 2015 14:58 CET 6 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): We take two tyres for the long stage, hard tyres. Was okay, car is a bit more slow with the two spares. I drive well and I push a little bit.
03. 07. 2015 14:37 CET 6 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): A lot better when you are confident.
03. 07. 2015 14:37 CET 6 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I got caught out by a dip in the braking and jumped out of the line, I lost a couple of tenths or second there. It was ok, but I am not happy with the time, i got caught out, it was a shame. Otherwise I was quite fast.
03. 07. 2015 14:37 CET 6 flash info (5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It’s better, it feels a lot smoother. I do not know if we were too careful on the tyres. We should be ok.
03. 07. 2015 14:34 CET 6 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Seb is doing really well. We are with two hards on the front and two softs on the rear. We have to think about the long one and the overall performance.
03. 07. 2015 14:34 CET 6 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): We were into the field, trying to get back onto the road.
03. 07. 2015 14:34 CET 6 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It was ok, the grip was a lot better. Not a good rhythm. I have slightly more ideas now, now I have some feed back from the car so I know what direction I have to go.
03. 07. 2015 14:34 CET 6 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The road is much cleaner, all okay for us. It will be interesting, we will have to see what happens. It is extremely hot so we have to take care this afternoon.
03. 07. 2015 16:28 CET 5 retired (69 - Koči Martin / Kostka Lukáš): technical problem after SS 5

03. 07. 2015 13:19 CET 5 (69 - Koči Martin / Kostka Lukáš): was out of road
03. 07. 2015 12:45 CET 5 flash info (43 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The time was good but the stage was not perfect. I can do better. I felt the tyres were finished near the end. I will be much quicker in the afternoon.
03. 07. 2015 12:44 CET 5 flash info (32 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Prévot Stéphane): The water temperature is ok, I'm very lucky. Hopefully I can complete the rest of the day ok.
03. 07. 2015 12:44 CET 5 flash info (40 - Tidemand Pontus / Axelsson Emil): I'm not really happy with my driving, not finding it easy to get the speed out of the corners. It's up to me to improve.
03. 07. 2015 12:30 CET 5 flash info (38 - Ketomaa Jari / Lindström Kaj): Flat out with the choke out. We are having fun now. A really enjoyable stage.
03. 07. 2015 12:30 CET 5 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): We went straight on at two or three junctions, so a lot of mistakes.
03. 07. 2015 12:29 CET 5 flash info (10 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): This was the nicest stage so far. The only think is in the braking zones we cannot get the car stopping, we have to investigate that. Apart from that, everything is really enjoyable.
03. 07. 2015 12:28 CET 5 flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): Quite challenging stage, very fast in some places, also many blind corners over crest. A good morning for us.
03. 07. 2015 12:25 CET 5 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): We still have the braking problem, in some places we have just only front brakes.
03. 07. 2015 12:22 CET 5 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): Not so good, my codriver and I don't know how to find the rhythm.
03. 07. 2015 12:18 CET 5 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We knew the time would not be so good. All morning just can’t get the rhythm. It is just not jelling like it should. Make some small mental changes for this afternoon and just get on with it.
03. 07. 2015 12:17 CET 5 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): I was not on the pace, a little bit slower everywhere. We need to try to understand better the pace notes. Every corner is a little bit faster than the pace notes. I will try to find a little bit more speed.
03. 07. 2015 12:16 CET 5 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Had a really good run, really happy. Slow start this morning. I was able to commit more to my notes, but you still have to be careful.
03. 07. 2015 12:14 CET 5 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): My driving was not so bad, but we were lost a couple of times in the notes. The pacenotes are alright, but it is not easy for the codriver. I had to back off many times.
03. 07. 2015 12:12 CET 5 flash info (5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Feeling is not quite there, still not 100% relaxed and confident, but it is not too bad.
03. 07. 2015 12:12 CET 5 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was not a good stage for us, I did three mistakes. I had a big moment, we nearly went off and were hanging on the ditch.
03. 07. 2015 12:12 CET 5 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): Tänak is doing a good job. For sure he has done a good job, we will see this afternoon.
03. 07. 2015 12:11 CET 5 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It was a nice stage for me, I really enjoyed it. Really I cannot do so much more. For me it is not possible for me to cope with the other guys at the moment, I feel I am driving well, maybe it is just practice.
03. 07. 2015 12:11 CET 5 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): That was good, I think my tyres are like new, I struggle a lot with the road.
03. 07. 2015 14:36 CET 4 retired (42 - Gorban Valeriy / Korsia Volodymyr): retired after SS 4
03. 07. 2015 14:36 CET 4 retired (78 - Foulon Alain / Delarche Gilles): retired after SS 4
03. 07. 2015 11:42 CET 4 flash info (40 - Tidemand Pontus / Axelsson Emil): We made a few setup changes before the stage and now it's really fun. I'm feeling comfortable.
03. 07. 2015 11:40 CET 4 flash info (32 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Prévot Stéphane): I make one big mistake in the middle of the stage. I take one corner flat and it was not flat.
03. 07. 2015 11:40 CET 4 flash info (38 - Ketomaa Jari / Lindström Kaj): This was very good, slightly wide on one corner. It feels like there is less grip on this one.
03. 07. 2015 11:39 CET 4 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): Generally the car is good, not a bad situation. I prefer fast stages to slow stages.
03. 07. 2015 11:39 CET 4 flash info (10 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): This one was one of the most difficult stages as you had to really place the car in advance. We are struggling to rotate the car as we want, the front feels a little unsure. It was a really enjoyable stage. It is alright, now we see what we can do on the next run.
03. 07. 2015 11:28 CET 4 flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): It has been a good start, good morning. We see now the longest stage. The stages are extremely fast and it is not so easy with the pace notes. We try to drive without any risk. I make mistake as I was not so confident with my pace notes. Many places I am too slow. You have to be confident and in these stages you have to be really confident.
03. 07. 2015 11:26 CET 4 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): It was quite ok, I enjoy it. I am quite flat out, it is nice, the car is just perfect. The instruction was to let the other guys know we are here for the second half of the season. I am still learning, but I am getting better now.
03. 07. 2015 11:24 CET 4 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): It was quite tricky. I did some mistakes in the junctions. I was too fast on the junctions, I had to stop there. The rhythm was better than the previous stage.
03. 07. 2015 11:24 CET 4 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): There is some tyre wear but not as much as we expected. We do still have two fresh tyres for this next stage. Hopefully we will have a good next stage. On roads like these we are looking at very small margins.
03. 07. 2015 11:23 CET 4 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): Here is really fast with a lot of crests, difficult with the pace notes. We change a lot pacenotes. Not very easy.
03. 07. 2015 11:17 CET 4 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I am happy enough. It is difficult to get your eye in at these speeds.
03. 07. 2015 11:17 CET 4 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Quite slippy on the bumpy sections, but it was okay. There is still room to go faster. There is dust in some tricky places, you have to slow down, not a lot, but a little.
03. 07. 2015 11:15 CET 4 flash info (5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): There have been bits that have been very good. It has been positive overall. There were some fast bits in the middle that I drove well. We need to keep reliable as well, we need to keep working on it.
03. 07. 2015 11:11 CET 4 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I had also problem with the dust, in a few places I do not see the corners very well. In the end it was getting better.
03. 07. 2015 11:11 CET 4 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): It is just so dusty, you come flat out and you just see nothing… I took it very careful in these situations as I do not want to risk it. We could not see anything in a couple of places.
03. 07. 2015 11:10 CET 4 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): I get more comfortable with the speed. Not brilliant, this one I felt I did a few mistake and we lost time with that. Little mistake here it make your heart beat a little bit more. I misplaced the car over a crest and it put the car off the road a little.
03. 07. 2015 11:07 CET 4 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I do my best, maybe the first stage I could have taken a bit more risk. It is very slippery. At the moment I cannot do more. I hope that later on I can have a better condition. The grip is so low, you do not damage the tyre at all.
03. 07. 2015 10:26 CET 3 flash info (10 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): I think the pace was nice, the rhythm was nice. We were much too cautious. It was really hard to find traction. The car was really lazy on the first stage. I am happy, this was a nice one.
03. 07. 2015 10:24 CET 3 flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): Different stage compared to the previous one, more technical, a bit more gravel. Smooth driving, good.
03. 07. 2015 10:23 CET 3 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): Some issue with the brakes in the second part, the brakes were really hard...
03. 07. 2015 10:20 CET 3 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): From the beginning of the stage I feel I will be very slow. The corners, you can manage really fast and I do not want to make a mistake. I am still trying to find some speed.
03. 07. 2015 10:19 CET 3 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I prefer these stages than the first one, they are a bit more technical. I am having to send guess my notes a little, just the gears aren’t quite right.
03. 07. 2015 10:15 CET 3 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): It was ok, a little bit better. Difficult stage, very fast with a lot of crests. This I enjoy, I lost a little bit of time in the first one, but this one I enjoy.
03. 07. 2015 10:13 CET 3 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Struggling a little bit to commit to the roads, on the fast crests, other than that no problems.
03. 07. 2015 10:12 CET 3 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): On this one the conditions were quite good. Some slippy places on the tarmac. I try to be smooth on my tyres. It was quite nice, I enjoy.
03. 07. 2015 10:09 CET 3 flash info (5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): They are all quick, no hiding from that. Going well in some places, maybe giving a little bit of time away in others. We need to concentrate on that.
03. 07. 2015 10:08 CET 3 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Andreas is in a really good rhythm, but that is what I was expecting. Let’s see boy’s like Kris Meeke are coming...
03. 07. 2015 10:05 CET 3 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): It is a good start. This I know for the second run, but I have to say a good start. It’s a new rally basically, new rally, new stages, we are all on the same level experience wise.
03. 07. 2015 10:05 CET 3 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): We need to continue to improve. It was a little bit better in this stage. The set-up is still quite good, it is still getting use to everything.
03. 07. 2015 10:03 CET 3 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): More corners, more corners means more cleaning. Really happy with my stage. Quite a lot of loose gravel. Definitely going faster every car.
04. 07. 2015 21:27 CET 2 (42 - Gorban Valeriy / Korsia Volodymyr): was out of road
03. 07. 2015 10:27 CET 2 retired (74 - Ptaszek Hubert / Kozdroń Kamil): retired in SS 2
03. 07. 2015 08:43 CET 2 flash info (32 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Prévot Stéphane): An incredible feeling in the car on these fast stages. Not a bad start.
03. 07. 2015 08:41 CET 2 flash info (38 - Ketomaa Jari / Lindström Kaj): The puncture happened on a fast section.
03. 07. 2015 08:39 CET 2 (38 - Ketomaa Jari / Lindström Kaj): puncture
03. 07. 2015 08:38 CET 2 retired (39 - Al-Attiyah Nasser / Baumel Matthieu): accident in SS 2
03. 07. 2015 08:37 CET 2 (39 - Al-Attiyah Nasser / Baumel Matthieu): stopped in stage
03. 07. 2015 08:35 CET 2 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): For today everythin is ok. I am completely happy with the car and I just want to enjoy. I want to go on without problems.
03. 07. 2015 08:35 CET 2 flash info (10 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): Fantastic, I think the way the stages are this year, it is the fastest one of the season. We have been changing a lot of pacenotes.
03. 07. 2015 08:32 CET 2 flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): We took it very easy, pacenotes were too slow.
03. 07. 2015 08:30 CET 2 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): Driving is very good, but towards the beginning of the stage we were a little bit careful. I push quite hard.
03. 07. 2015 08:29 CET 2 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): Really fast and difficult to find the speed. Clean stage and try to get use to, really different from normal stages.
03. 07. 2015 08:28 CET 2 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Pacenotes are a little bit on the slow side. Obviously this is a bit of a warm-up. These next two stages we will have a lot more tyre wear than we think and on the long stage, we will need 2 spares.
03. 07. 2015 08:24 CET 2 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): A little bit dusty in the middle of the stage with the trees. Everything was a little bit faster. I was happy with the car, just need a little bit more speed.
03. 07. 2015 08:21 CET 2 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I am happy enough. After yesterday, for sure we need to do this rally with no mistakes, that is the plan. There is cleaning, but in some places it goes deeper and it is so fast.
03. 07. 2015 08:20 CET 2 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was ok, I had quite a good feeling. I struggle under the trees in a few corners with the dust. Otherwise it was good stage.
03. 07. 2015 08:17 CET 2 flash info (5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Good wake-up call. It is seriously fast. We had a reasonable run, some work to do, but a nice way to start a rally. The grip level is really high. It is getting use to the flow of a fast rally again.
03. 07. 2015 08:17 CET 2 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): We had a clean run, no mistakes. A little bit too cautious in places, other than that we are happy with the run.
03. 07. 2015 08:14 CET 2 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): For sure there is road cleaning, it will get faster and faster. Clean stage for us, no risk.
03. 07. 2015 08:12 CET 2 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It is just so incredibly fast, I was a little bit shocked, I am definitely not use to that. I need to get use to this a little bit, I am not use to this speed. It is very different from Sardegna.
03. 07. 2015 08:10 CET 2 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It was, but it is a long day today without service, I did not want to make a mistake. Quite slippy conditions.
02. 07. 2015 21:21 CET 1 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): "It's all about tyres, I was on the hard for tomorrow. I had a good run."
02. 07. 2015 21:21 CET 1 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): "We have seen so many fans for Robert, i'm happy for him. Great atmosphere!"
02. 07. 2015 21:21 CET 1 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): "I need to do the rally. The feeling is good, but no idea what my speed will be."
02. 07. 2015 21:20 CET 1 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): "Touched the barrier a little bit, lost time to Ogier here last year."
02. 07. 2015 21:20 CET 1 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): "Been a very good birthday. Stalled on the start line, lost 3 or 4 seconds!"
02. 07. 2015 21:19 CET 1 flash info (5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): "Varying levels of grip in there, overall it was alright. Easy enough to get going."
02. 07. 2015 21:19 CET 1 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): "I had a good feeling to start with, we had a good run. Last year was a completely different story.."
02. 07. 2015 21:18 CET 1 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): "We didn't have a good stage, not good, we need to use these tyres tomorrow."
02. 07. 2015 21:17 CET 1 flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): "More slippy in places, I couldn't see where I was going, it was challenging."
02. 07. 2015 21:16 CET 1 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): "It was a good rally for us last year, so we'll see how fast we go tomorrow."
02. 07. 2015 20:45 CET 1 (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): stalled on start
02. 07. 2015 20:18 CET 1 (41 - Fuchs Nicolás / Mussano Fernando): hit the wall
