INFORMATION ABOUT SS 1
retired (86 - Membrado Josep Maria / Vilamala Jordi): retired in SS 1
retired (82 - Crugnola Andrea / Ferrara Michele): technical problem - electric before SS 1
flash info (49 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): The gremlins are back. That stupid pop-off valve is giving us problems again.
flash info (45 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): One stupid mistake around a hay bale but otherwise a really good time for us. No problems. We try to build our confidence tomorrow.
flash info (50 - Maurin Julien / Klinger Nicolas): I want to win again here but the start is not good. Not a good feeling on the first corner with the hard tyre. The real beginning is tomorrow.
flash info (48 - Camilli Eric / Veillas Benjamin): We have a good car setup. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's stages.
retired (40 - Al-Kuwari Abdulaziz / Clarke Marshall): technical problem - powersteering before SS 1
flash info (44 - Tidemand Pontus / Axelsson Emil): It's difficult to drive in this sort of half-light.
retired (31 - Al Rajhi Yazeed / Orr Michael): health problems before start
flash info (43 - Ketomaa Jari / Lindström Kaj): It's great to be back. Not an easy start, I tried my best, but I was maybe a bit too excited near the beginning. A few small mistakes.
flash info (39 - Protasov Yuriy / Cherepin Pavlo): A good stage. Not so bad. For us, it is important to finish here. A top three would be good for us.
flash info (42 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I'm absolutely happy. I tried to save my tyres. Ok, Nasser has a different setup, but for me it's a perfect start.
flash info (38 - Al-Attiyah Nasser / Baumel Matthieu): We took the decision to use tarmac dampers, even though we had never tested it, and it worked really well with the gravel tyres! We can change them in 10 minutes tomorrow.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It's good to start this way but I remember in Corsica we started like this and then it didn't go so well! The real start is tomorrow. I'm happy though, it was a clean drive. Now I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'm going to go for it.
flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): A good drive for me, we have saved some tyres for tomorrow.
flash info (5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): We had a mistake on one of the donut hay bales. I couldn't get the car shifted into first until half way round.
flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I didn't scrub my tyres so much, and I knew the others would do that more, but even so the time is a bit of a disappointment.
flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Everybody scrubbed their tyres. I'm happy with my time. Last year Volkswagen eclipsed our times by about 4 s.
flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): Not a perfect one. I didn't scrub my tyres like I did last year. I braked too late for the first corner and then I made a mistake at a hairpin. So not perfect, but I saved some tyres for tomorrow.
flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Neuville has done an amazing time. 2.6 s off that is not perfect but it's not so bad. Tomorrow we will do some proper stages. I'm really looking forward to it.
flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I had two soft and two hard tyres, split left and right, but I had a problem with the handbrake and locked the wheels a couple of times. I think the guys behind will be quicker.
flash info (6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): It's my first time here and this is a tricky stage. A few surprises but a clean run. Now I'm really looking forward to tomorrow.
flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Big concrete walls take no prisoners. Cold brakes and tyres almost caught us out but overall no problems.
flash info (14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): We have something wrong. For the last three or four hundred metres we have no power - like no anti-lag.
flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): I tried to enjoy it, but made two mistakes on the first two corners, I missed the braking points, but the rest was good.
flash info (15 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Prévot Stéphane): I really enjoyed that. Last year on the first corner here I made a mistake so this time I took it very cautiously.
flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): I had a problem with the downshifts. I couldn't find first gear at the roundabouts.
flash info (12 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris): Difficult but this is all for the spectators. Lots of donuts - it was a lot of fun.
Start of stage will be 4 minutes earlier.
