Date and time SS Information
20. 08. 2017 14:07 CET 21 retired (83 - Klein Marius / Grimberg Hans-Joachim): retired in SS 21
20. 08. 2017 13:43 CET 21 flash info (34 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): For sure I'm frustrated because I think I was the fastest one here. Just bad luck with the puncture. Thanks to the team for the opportunity to be here.
20. 08. 2017 13:43 CET 21 flash info (33 - Camilli Eric / Veillas Benjamin): I'm very very happy - it's incredible! Thanks so much to the team for their efforts.
20. 08. 2017 13:43 CET 21 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's a great feeling. The start to the rally went perfectly. After that it was just about controlling our lead. Winning our first Tarmac event feels cool. With 25 points here I don't see any reason why we can't fight for the championship. We will keep fighting. We need to keep winning if we're going to win the championship.
20. 08. 2017 13:15 CET 21 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): A difficult rally, especially the conditions on the opening day. I really pushed to the limit. Yesterday and today were good drives, some small mistakes but we have to be happy with this. Will I be back in the C3 again? If it feels like this I would like to do more.
20. 08. 2017 13:10 CET 21 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): That was the most important thing and what we worked for all weekend. After Thierry wasn't there I didn't dare to push to the maximum. I missed some speed here, but it's a good result for the championship.
20. 08. 2017 13:06 CET 21 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): I lost a lot of time on the first day but after that it has been good. I'm happy for this. If you compare to the first part of the season....I am happy.
20. 08. 2017 13:05 CET 21 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It's not great but we did what we could with what we had.
20. 08. 2017 13:05 CET 21 flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): I couldn't go any harder over the jump - we cracked the windscreen and got an awful fright! I tried to push, I had a good feeling with the car.
20. 08. 2017 13:04 CET 21 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I touched in a left-hand corner very early on. For a Iong time I thought I had a puncture. I was not pushing because I was so afraid. We overshot in one place. Not good.
20. 08. 2017 12:46 CET 21 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): When the conditions weren't too bad we've been ok, but I am hoping to finish the season with three strong finishes.
20. 08. 2017 12:43 CET 21 flash info (14 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): Really happy. My first time in the car was on Monday...it is a fantastic car. Maybe I'll get another drive...I don't know yet.
20. 08. 2017 12:39 CET 21 flash info (31 - Tidemand Pontus / Andersson Jonas): It feels good! First we need to get to the final finish but it feels amazing. Good for me, good for the team, it's been a perfect season. A big thanks to Jonas, the team, my engineers, I could not get better support.
20. 08. 2017 12:35 CET 21 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Too many small mistakes probably. For the championship let's see.
20. 08. 2017 12:33 CET 21 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): Disappointed about my mistake here. I can't wait to the next round in Catalunya.
20. 08. 2017 12:32 CET 21 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Lucky to be here. Good to be here!
20. 08. 2017 12:25 CET 21 Dry, bright and sunny.
20. 08. 2017 12:16 CET 21 Starting order: 1.Lappi, 2.Sordo, 3.Neuville, 4.Tidemand, 5.Kremer, 6.Paddon, 7.Latvala, 8.Breen, 9.Evans, 10.Hänninen, 11.Ogier, 12.Mikkelsen, 13.Tänak
20. 08. 2017 11:40 CET 20 flash info (34 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): Apart from the puncture it's been a good rally. Still one more stage to go.
20. 08. 2017 11:36 CET 20 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): On the first pass I had a hit under braking. This time I was avoiding that bump, I braked too late and went into a field. The engine stalled and it took a long time to get running again.
20. 08. 2017 11:35 CET 20 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Very important now to bring it home. A lot of manufacturer points available now against the Hyundai boys.
20. 08. 2017 11:34 CET 20 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): We managed to build a good gap to Seb behind us. We are quite far behind the lead but my position is ok. It's been a good weekend.
20. 08. 2017 11:31 CET 20 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We saved a the tyres a bit and I have one new one for the Power Stage.
20. 08. 2017 11:30 CET 20 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): I had a really good, clean stage but the time is not so good.
20. 08. 2017 11:29 CET 20 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): I took it a bit more steadily under braking here. Backed off a bit. Let's see what Elfyn, then we will know what to do in the Power Stage.
20. 08. 2017 10:59 CET 20 flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Just trying to push. I don't want to give it up.
20. 08. 2017 10:58 CET 20 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Now we go the Power Stage and try and get some points. That would be really nice for the championship.
20. 08. 2017 10:58 CET 20 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Better grip on the second pass.
20. 08. 2017 09:25 CET 19 flash info (33 - Camilli Eric / Veillas Benjamin): The lead is comfortable but still two stages to go so we stay in the middle of the road.
20. 08. 2017 09:18 CET 19 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): We did lot of analysis last night and found things I was doing wrong. Less throttle, that's the secret.
20. 08. 2017 09:17 CET 19 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We lost mirrors in the first chicane. Good for aerodynamics.
20. 08. 2017 09:16 CET 19 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I tried to keep the pressure.
20. 08. 2017 09:16 CET 19 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): The soft tyre choice was probably incorrect this morning.
20. 08. 2017 09:15 CET 19 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): I'm enjoying, pushing and pushing.
20. 08. 2017 09:14 CET 19 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): There are so many straw bales in here and I had to use all of the road. (missing small parts of bodywork)
20. 08. 2017 09:13 CET 19 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Quite narrow and the grass is wet so you have to keep all your wheels on the road.
20. 08. 2017 09:12 CET 19 flash info (14 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): Nice to drive. Some slippery corners.
20. 08. 2017 12:17 CET 18 retired (73 - Fumal Armand / Louette Michael): retired after SS 18
20. 08. 2017 09:11 CET 18 flash info (42 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): Fifth gear, completely flat out!
20. 08. 2017 09:10 CET 18 retired (40 - Greensmith Gus / Parry Craig): damaged radiator in SS18
20. 08. 2017 09:09 CET 18 flash info (31 - Tidemand Pontus / Andersson Jonas): No risks, no DTM braking, we need to get to the finish.
20. 08. 2017 09:09 CET 18 flash info (34 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): It doesn't help anything, we are still second and that's it. These stages are not too difficult. I'm trying to getting into the rhythm ready for another rally next week.
20. 08. 2017 09:07 CET 18 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): I will try on the Power Stage, but if we continue at this speed we won't take any points.
20. 08. 2017 09:06 CET 18 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Let him (Mikkelsen) push, we are still a long way ahead. Let him do his job.
20. 08. 2017 09:06 CET 18 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I just try to keep the pressure on Ott.
20. 08. 2017 09:05 CET 18 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We are waiting for the Power Stage. We want to keep going fast but not crazy.
20. 08. 2017 09:04 CET 18 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): We had a minor overshot in a junction and stalled the engine.
20. 08. 2017 09:03 CET 18 flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): I didn't push enough.
20. 08. 2017 09:02 CET 18 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Some very fast sections but a few bumps were a bit slippery.
20. 08. 2017 09:00 CET 18 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): I am still sleeping. Late starts all week and today we have to get up at 5am...
20. 08. 2017 08:59 CET 18 flash info (14 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): Fantastic. The car is running well.
19. 08. 2017 19:48 CET 17 flash info (33 - Camilli Eric / Veillas Benjamin): One day to go. We are happy to lead the WRC 2. The team is working very well. We need to continue on the same way tomorrow.
19. 08. 2017 19:47 CET 17 flash info (31 - Tidemand Pontus / Andersson Jonas): A bit in the middle of nowhere today but we are thinking of the championship. If it stays like this it's looking good but we don't talk about this at the moment.
19. 08. 2017 19:46 CET 17 flash info (34 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): What positive today? I am making less mistakes than I'm getting punctures. Just bad luck.
19. 08. 2017 19:34 CET 17 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): I am a little bit surprised. I pushed hard but the times aren't so good.
19. 08. 2017 19:33 CET 17 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I pushed like hell, it was a clean stage and we lost a lot. I am really frustrated.
19. 08. 2017 19:32 CET 17 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's been a clean day, no mistakes and the other guys have made some.
19. 08. 2017 19:29 CET 17 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): Tomorrow's stages are safer. With normal driving it should be alright.
19. 08. 2017 19:29 CET 17 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I did a couple of mistakes in here, it was much more dirty than I was expecting.
19. 08. 2017 19:28 CET 17 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): We tried in here for sure. A bit of rain would have suited us.
19. 08. 2017 19:27 CET 17 (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): overshoot
19. 08. 2017 19:26 CET 17 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): I expect Evans will beat us here again. Everything is open for tomorrow.
19. 08. 2017 19:25 CET 17 (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): damage to the front-left wheel arch
19. 08. 2017 19:00 CET 17 flash info (14 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): A good day today. The car is running well.
19. 08. 2017 19:39 CET 16 retired (45 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): retired after SS 16
19. 08. 2017 18:02 CET 16 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): We had a lot of understeer. We lost a lot in the long corners.
19. 08. 2017 18:01 CET 16 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I thought it was a good stage but again the time is not good. I don't understand it...
19. 08. 2017 18:01 CET 16 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Driving cleanly. The conditions are enjoyable.
19. 08. 2017 18:00 CET 16 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I think both me and Seb (Ogier) are pushing to the maximum. My confidence in the car is getting better and better with each kilometre.
19. 08. 2017 17:53 CET 16 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I cannot go for crazy risks for an extra three points but I keep the pressure on and see what happens. Good grip now in this stage.
19. 08. 2017 17:52 CET 16 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): As good as we could have hoped on the cross tyres. A bit unfair on Juho, I know he has a problem...
19. 08. 2017 17:51 CET 16 flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Not as nervous as before. Not a million miles away from the guys ahead now. We'll keep the push on.
19. 08. 2017 17:50 CET 16 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): Missing one damper on this stage. Not easy.
19. 08. 2017 17:49 CET 16 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Cutting the bales a bit in here again.
19. 08. 2017 17:41 CET 16 flash info (14 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): Tricky like before but ok.
19. 08. 2017 17:33 CET 15 retired (81 - Molle Amaury / Herman Renaud): retired in SS 15
19. 08. 2017 17:29 CET 15 retired (49 - Schilt Edwin / Bakker Lisette): retired in SS 15
19. 08. 2017 17:28 CET 15 retired (71 - Kreim Fabian / Christian Frank): retired in SS 15
19. 08. 2017 17:27 CET 15 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Just a front-left puncture. I think it was on a sharp edge. It wasn't there on the first pass. That's it.
19. 08. 2017 16:46 CET 15 flash info (34 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): Puncture. I was braking in the line and suddenly in the next cover the front left was flat and we had to stop and change it.
19. 08. 2017 16:45 CET 15 (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): front left puncture in SS15
19. 08. 2017 16:44 CET 15 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Clean run. Cautious in the dirty places, faster in the dry.
19. 08. 2017 16:43 CET 15 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I managed to balance pushing and saving the tyres.
19. 08. 2017 16:41 CET 15 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Ok, but maybe I could have pushed more.
19. 08. 2017 16:41 CET 15 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): We went wide on one junction near the start but it didn't cost too much time.
19. 08. 2017 16:40 CET 15 flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Better run than at morning.
19. 08. 2017 16:39 CET 15 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): I think a damper is broken, we lost a lot of time.
19. 08. 2017 16:39 CET 15 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): We had a slow puncture about 30km.
19. 08. 2017 16:38 CET 15 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Dry stage. Probably the best conditions I've seen here in years.
19. 08. 2017 16:36 CET 15 flash info (14 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): Nice but dangerous in every part of the road. Fantastic for me.
19. 08. 2017 16:30 CET 15 (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): stopped in stage, continue
19. 08. 2017 16:30 CET 15 (34 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): stopped in stage, continue
19. 08. 2017 16:24 CET 15 (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): puncture
19. 08. 2017 16:42 CET 14 retired (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): technical problem - water pump after SS 14
19. 08. 2017 15:49 CET 14 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I had a stall on the start line. The first time it has ever happened to me.
19. 08. 2017 15:48 CET 13 flash info (34 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): Again, it is a warm up for the Panzerplatte.
19. 08. 2017 15:46 CET 13 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): A good clean run.
19. 08. 2017 15:44 CET 13 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The difference will come in the big one (Panzerplatte 2).
19. 08. 2017 15:43 CET 13 flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Ok. Consistent tyres on the car
19. 08. 2017 15:43 CET 13 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): Now it is more dry and we must take care of the tyres.
19. 08. 2017 15:42 CET 13 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The feeling is good.
19. 08. 2017 15:40 CET 13 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): We had a road position advantage this morning. We will see how the afternoon will go.
19. 08. 2017 15:39 CET 13 flash info (14 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): Nice and dry, we can drive maximum attack.
19. 08. 2017 13:51 CET 12 retired (89 - Williams Tom / Hall Philip): retired in SS 12
19. 08. 2017 13:37 CET 12 retired (93 - Wecker Josef / Clemens Stefan): retired in SS 12
19. 08. 2017 13:06 CET 12 (45 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): problems with gearbox
19. 08. 2017 13:05 CET 12 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): In the braking it was very dirty, it wasn't in the recce. We have nothing to fight for. We are in the back now. When you see the times of the guys in front it's very disappointing.
19. 08. 2017 13:04 CET 12 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): The feeling and confidence are not bad but the times are just not there this weekend.
19. 08. 2017 13:04 CET 12 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I thought it was a good one but we are slowest again. I think my confidence is still on the wall.
19. 08. 2017 12:42 CET 12 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's tough, not easy to enjoy, but we have a good feeling in the car. There is still a long way to go.
19. 08. 2017 12:41 CET 12 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): A clean stage. Fine. We're not giving up without a fight.
19. 08. 2017 12:41 CET 12 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I was not at full risk but I try not to be too slow. I'm keeping a bit of pressure on the guys ahead. It's been an okay morning.
19. 08. 2017 12:41 CET 12 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): The grip wasn't as good as I expected.
19. 08. 2017 12:41 CET 12 flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Three hard and one soft tyre here. Tricky. I just don't have the confidence to push. I overshot one junction and stalled the engine for a second.
19. 08. 2017 12:40 CET 12 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): Ok, nothing special. Quite a different stage, a bit more clean.
19. 08. 2017 12:40 CET 12 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The handbrake doesn't work. It's difficult to drive these stages without one. We'll fix it in service.
19. 08. 2017 12:40 CET 12 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): I think hards were the right tyre choice. I'm trying. The conditions are a bit easier like this but I have a lot to work on.
19. 08. 2017 12:40 CET 12 flash info (14 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): We drive better and better. We are happy at the moment. The stage is good to drive but a lot of straights.
19. 08. 2017 11:55 CET 11 flash info (33 - Camilli Eric / Veillas Benjamin): It's an interesting fight. He (Kopecký) was very fast on this stage, because I was pushing to the maximum.
19. 08. 2017 11:53 CET 11 flash info (34 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): Some tricky places. Some small moments but we are pushing to keep Eric (Camilli) behind.
19. 08. 2017 11:47 CET 11 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): A lot of mud in there, it's slippery. It's like a Monte Carlo.
19. 08. 2017 11:44 CET 11 (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): two times in the field
19. 08. 2017 11:44 CET 11 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I had a spin in a junction and stalled.
19. 08. 2017 11:42 CET 11 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): I spun on pretty much the first right hand corner and lost a lot of time.
19. 08. 2017 11:42 CET 11 (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): overshoot
19. 08. 2017 11:41 CET 11 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): More tricky than I expected. More mud on the road. The car is really, really good.
19. 08. 2017 11:40 CET 11 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Mistake...again. In a slippery place I was wide and spent a lot of time in a field.
19. 08. 2017 11:39 CET 11 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Nothing major (rear left damage), nearly ever corner has a hay bale on it and we're just kissing a few to try and get a tight entry.
19. 08. 2017 11:38 CET 11 flash info (14 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): A good feeling for the car and the tyres were good. We ran and ran...
19. 08. 2017 12:31 CET 10 retired (65 - Folb Terry / Guieu Christopher): retired in SS 10
19. 08. 2017 11:08 CET 10 flash info (41 - Griebel Marijan / Kopczyk Stefan): I got a front-right puncture. When I realised I went off and got stuck in a ditch.
19. 08. 2017 11:05 CET 10 (42 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): puncture in SS 10
19. 08. 2017 11:04 CET 10 (32 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): changing puncture during SS10
19. 08. 2017 11:03 CET 10 (31 - Tidemand Pontus / Andersson Jonas): right-rear puncture
19. 08. 2017 11:00 CET 10 flash info (34 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): A good stage but a huge challenge. I tried to find a good compromise not to destroy my soft tyres.
19. 08. 2017 10:49 CET 10 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): Very slippery and I took no risks. I am out of the race and I have hurt my hand.
19. 08. 2017 10:49 CET 10 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): We changed something last night and I felt more confident today.
19. 08. 2017 10:48 CET 10 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Too muddy to take advantage of my tyres.
19. 08. 2017 10:47 CET 10 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Six kilometres before the end we lost the rear tyre. I thought we had a puncture.
19. 08. 2017 10:28 CET 10 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): Much drier than we thought, we should have put two hard tyres on.
19. 08. 2017 10:20 CET 10 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): A bit too cautious. After Thierry stopped I think the gap in front now is too big.
19. 08. 2017 10:15 CET 10 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): Easier than yesterday. Changing grip.
19. 08. 2017 10:14 CET 10 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I had two moments. We are on soft. It was a lot drier than I expected. I overshot one junction and nearly spun twice.
19. 08. 2017 10:12 CET 10 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): We picked up a puncture, I don´t know how. We stopped to change.
19. 08. 2017 10:08 CET 10 flash info (14 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): I think our soft tyres were not the right ones here. The road was so dry we lost a lot of time.
19. 08. 2017 09:58 CET 9 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Ok, the real stages are coming.
19. 08. 2017 09:57 CET 9 retired (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): broken wheel after SS 9
19. 08. 2017 09:56 CET 9 (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): rear-left wheel is hanging off
19. 08. 2017 09:55 CET 9 flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): I hope that next stage is a bit wetter than this one.
19. 08. 2017 09:54 CET 9 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): Let's see how the tyres will be on the next one...
19. 08. 2017 09:43 CET 9 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was surprisingly dry. Few places we can improve for the next one.
19. 08. 2017 09:41 CET 9 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Dry stage. We are expecting more damp in the next stage.
19. 08. 2017 09:40 CET 9 flash info (14 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): Short stage. I have soft tyres. It seems to be good choice.
19. 08. 2017 09:38 CET 9 Tyre choice: (Hadr, Soft) Ogier, Tanak: 3S + 2H II Meeke, Breen, Mikkelsen, Latvala, Neuville, Sordo: 5S II Hanninen, Lappi: 5H II Paddon: 3H + 2S
19. 08. 2017 09:36 CET 9 Sunny in Bostalsee. The forecast predicts a dry day with sunshine and cloud.
20. 08. 2017 23:44 CET 8 retired (45 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): retired after SS 8
18. 08. 2017 19:19 CET 8 (22 - Raoux Jean-Michel / Galmiche Isabelle): spun
18. 08. 2017 19:15 CET 8 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): Really, really happy. We are pushing to the maximum. The conditions are getting worse so the only drivers we can compare to are the ones around us in the start order. We're 10 sec quicker that Kris so that shows how hard we are pushing.
18. 08. 2017 19:14 CET 8 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Very tricky. Every junction is full of mud. Not so enjoyable.
18. 08. 2017 19:13 CET 8 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): This was the worst one.
18. 08. 2017 19:13 CET 8 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): A bit of a mudbath. A very tricky afternoon. Tomorrow there will be a lot less rain so we can try and get some confidence back.
18. 08. 2017 19:13 CET 8 flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): An absolute disaster. I lost the rear, spun and had to go into the field. It cost five or six seconds.
18. 08. 2017 19:13 CET 8 (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): was out of road
18. 08. 2017 19:12 CET 8 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): A very difficult day. Too much mud, not enjoyable.
18. 08. 2017 19:12 CET 8 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I tried to be clever and avoid any big mistakes. I was also a long time on the grass in one left-hand corner. The trickiest stage of the day.
18. 08. 2017 19:12 CET 8 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Conditions are really tricky - in one place we got stuck in the mud - it took so long to get back on the road with the slick tyres. A good day though.
18. 08. 2017 19:12 CET 8 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We had a spin and lost 20 sec. A shame but that's how it is. It's going to be be tight. I knew I would struggle today - I haven't found the setup I wanted in the car. Tomorrow is another day.
18. 08. 2017 19:12 CET 8 (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): spun
18. 08. 2017 19:11 CET 8 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It happened on a very dirty corner, it was worse than aquaplaning. Nothing I could do. Happy to be here - still a long way to go.
18. 08. 2017 19:11 CET 8 (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): was out of road
18. 08. 2017 19:09 CET 7 Stage is cancelled. Other crews will use alternate route and will obtain notional time.
18. 08. 2017 19:08 CET 7 Stage is stopped because of crash st.no.82.
18. 08. 2017 19:08 CET 7 retired (82 - Schwinn Sebastian / Griebel Felix): accident in SS 7
18. 08. 2017 19:08 CET 7 retired (74 - Rujbr Patrik / Římalová Veronika): accident in SS 7
18. 08. 2017 18:31 CET 7 (61 - Astier Raphaël / Vauclare Frédéric): stopped in stage
18. 08. 2017 18:30 CET 7 (74 - Rujbr Patrik / Římalová Veronika): stopped in stage
18. 08. 2017 18:28 CET 7 (66 - Tannert Julius / Heigl Jürgen): stopped in stage
18. 08. 2017 18:26 CET 7 retired (63 - Solans Nil / Ibañez Miquel): retired in SS 7
18. 08. 2017 18:26 CET 7 flash info (44 - Bergkvist Emil / Fløene Ola): Terrible. We have problems with the differential.
18. 08. 2017 17:57 CET 7 (42 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): spun
18. 08. 2017 17:57 CET 7 flash info (34 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): I prefer it when the Tarmac is dry. This was tricky, a lot of mud everywhere and a spin. I got a slow puncture on the previous stage.
18. 08. 2017 17:43 CET 7 (38 - Rossel Yohan / Fulcrand Benoît): stopped in stage
18. 08. 2017 17:41 CET 7 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I think we did a very good stage. The tyre was a little bit too much for the grip, but a clean stage. I'm very happy to be in this position at this point in the rally. Tomorrow we will be in a better place in the start order.
18. 08. 2017 17:41 CET 7 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): More tricky that the one before, a lot of mud here, tricky on the new tyres. I had to slow to pass Lappi. The car was stuck in a ditch, off under braking. He was out of the car.
18. 08. 2017 17:40 CET 7 retired (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): accident in SS 7
18. 08. 2017 17:30 CET 7 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): This was a bit better than the first one, less standing water. It's nice that the grip is better that you think. Not so horrible, I would say.
18. 08. 2017 17:29 CET 7 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): No one to blame but myself. Wet, slippery muddy tarmac? No thank you. This rally and the Monte are two rallies I know I have to improve on.
18. 08. 2017 17:29 CET 7 (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): stopped in stage
18. 08. 2017 17:29 CET 7 flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): A little bit better. Still tricky without 100 percent confidence.
18. 08. 2017 17:29 CET 7 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): I just have no grip, especially here. Struggling in every braking zone. There's not a lot we can do.
18. 08. 2017 17:28 CET 7 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Difficult conditions. I was losing too much time to Seb and Thierry where I wasn't bold enough.
18. 08. 2017 17:28 CET 7 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Very tricky. On a tyre I have never used before it took time to get the feeling. It feels good. Maybe I should have pushed more, but after the previous stage I wanted to have a clean run.
18. 08. 2017 17:19 CET 7 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It's ok but tricky. Together with Thierry, we don't have the optimum tyre choice. Our soft compound is not working.
18. 08. 2017 17:18 CET 7 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I was on the maximum I have to say. So much wheelspin and locking under braking, many times we nearly went off. I'm missing a lot of traction.
18. 08. 2017 17:58 CET 6 retired (84 - Schwedt Roman / Wichura Henry): retired in SS 6
18. 08. 2017 17:40 CET 6 retired (90 - Molinaro Tamara / Engan Veronica): retired in SS 6
18. 08. 2017 17:31 CET 6 retired (79 - Vossen Henk / Van Barschot Sander): retired in SS 6
18. 08. 2017 17:08 CET 6 retired (48 - Armstrong Jon / O’Sullivan Noel): retired in SS 6
18. 08. 2017 16:58 CET 6 flash info (14 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): My first time on the full rain tyres. Good grip. The best option I think.
18. 08. 2017 16:57 CET 6 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): They were the right choice for me. This stage was a mudbath near the end. For me I had no choice, I had to go for these. I'm happy not to lose more time from this position on the road.
18. 08. 2017 16:57 CET 6 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): The road was a lot cleaner than I expected. The rain has washed it. I was expecting more mud, which might have benefited us. We don't often run these tyres, even on tests, so they look a bit of getting used to.
18. 08. 2017 16:57 CET 6 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): About 70 percent of the stage was ok, but when you have standing water and soft tyres it's not the best combination. Still, I managed to survive.
18. 08. 2017 16:50 CET 6 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): Better than I expected. In places the grip was reasonable.
18. 08. 2017 16:49 CET 6 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Hard to know if this was the correct choice. I'm not driving too committed. It's difficult to judge the tyres on the way I'm driving the car.
18. 08. 2017 16:49 CET 6 flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): I felt the wet tyre go off really quick. I struggled to commit in there.
18. 08. 2017 16:49 CET 6 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): A mix of tyres on the car. Some places it worked well, in others no grip at all.
18. 08. 2017 16:49 CET 6 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The first part was quite ok. Towards the end on the big road I started aquaplaning and I lost the confidence.
18. 08. 2017 16:48 CET 6 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Actually not so good, there was a tight hairpin, I pulled the handbrake but I couldn't see out and I went straight into the vines. I was very lucky to get back. I still feel sorry I didn't take full wet tyres like the team suggested.
18. 08. 2017 16:48 CET 6 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Not so easy. I don't know, let's see how the guys behind go, but it might work with the rain tyres here - we were aquaplaning in places. The important thing is that Thierry and I are on the same.
18. 08. 2017 16:48 CET 6 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I was full softs. I don't know what the best option would be. Many times I was sideways a lot and I had a spin near the end. I tried my best but it's not very nice in these conditions.
18. 08. 2017 13:40 CET 5 (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): problems with engine
18. 08. 2017 12:01 CET 5 Start will be delayed for 6 minutes.
18. 08. 2017 14:10 CET 4 retired (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): accident in SS 4
18. 08. 2017 12:30 CET 4 flash info (14 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): We must stop in the stage. Something is loose with the rear suspension. We must go and have a look.
18. 08. 2017 12:30 CET 4 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): This was not really a perfect drive, two small mistakes so I'm not really happy with that run. I haven't done well on this stage before so studied the onboards and finally I mastered it! The car is amazing.
18. 08. 2017 12:30 CET 4 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Not too bad. For the first time this morning I had equal tyres and I felt more confident.
18. 08. 2017 12:29 CET 4 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The tyre choice was better for this stage. I'm really satisfied with this time.
18. 08. 2017 12:29 CET 4 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): Much better than the stage before because I didn't go into the vineyards this time. The car feels really good. It's giving me more of what I can use.
18. 08. 2017 12:29 CET 4 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): No idea why - we hit nothing. I noticed it 10km before the end.
18. 08. 2017 12:29 CET 4 (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): puncture
18. 08. 2017 12:11 CET 4 Stage continue.
18. 08. 2017 12:10 CET 4 Stage was stopped because of crash st.no. 6.
18. 08. 2017 12:08 CET 4 flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Terrible. I touched a wall and thought I had a puncture. I missed a braking point, went off and did a full 360 in a field. I need to keep it calm.
18. 08. 2017 12:08 CET 4 (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): was out of road
18. 08. 2017 12:07 CET 4 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): I saw some marks. Maybe that's where Sordo was. For me I was struggling for confidence in the braking.
18. 08. 2017 12:07 CET 4 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I touched it a little on the kerb or something. The beginning of the stage was trickier than I thought. Other than that everything is ok.
18. 08. 2017 12:07 CET 4 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): This morning has been pretty challenging. You have to drive with your eyes open.
18. 08. 2017 12:07 CET 4 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Conditions are not so easy but we have to push. I'm not perfectly happy with the car. I do my best with what I have. Somehow I cannot get the setup to my liking. I'll handle it. It's just for today.
18. 08. 2017 12:06 CET 4 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I have a lot of understeer in the fast sections. In the slow corners it is ok.
18. 08. 2017 12:06 CET 4 (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): stopped in stage
18. 08. 2017 12:01 CET 4 Start will be delayed for 6 minutes.
18. 08. 2017 13:39 CET 3 retired (89 - Williams Tom / Hall Philip): retired after SS 3
18. 08. 2017 12:05 CET 3 flash info (33 - Camilli Eric / Veillas Benjamin): We try to survive. We have a problem with the clutch, there's nothing there now. I hope we can complete the loop.
18. 08. 2017 12:05 CET 3 flash info (14 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): Fantastic. Not easy but a lot of experience. So slippery, a little bit wet, a little bit dry, but really nice.
18. 08. 2017 12:05 CET 3 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): We are pushing hard and taking risks but we have to. There is so much gravel on the roads here and I'm trying to limit the lime loss. I like this stage. The car is really, really nice.
18. 08. 2017 12:05 CET 3 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I felt a bit uncomfortable with the tyre choices. Humid in parts, wet under the trees. Difficult to find a rhythm.
18. 08. 2017 12:04 CET 3 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Wrong tyres and a surprise in one braking point where we went into the vines. The engine stalled and we lost a lot of time.
18. 08. 2017 12:04 CET 3 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): Quite soon after the start under braking I went wide into the vines and hit a wooden post. I have to go and check.
18. 08. 2017 12:04 CET 3 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Might have been just a hay bale, nothing major. There is no right choice for tyres here. In parts softs would be better, in others hards.
18. 08. 2017 12:04 CET 3 flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): I played a gamble on two hards and two softs. It rained since the gravel crew went through, so I didnlt know what to expect. Each corner was like flipping a coin. All softs would have been better I think.
18. 08. 2017 12:03 CET 3 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It was ok, a bit of a moment in one place but otherwise okay. Not a lot of grip in the dry. Early on I worked on getting heat in the tyres.
18. 08. 2017 12:03 CET 3 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): Difficult to control the car in the slippery sections.
18. 08. 2017 12:03 CET 3 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): That's nothing too serious. It was surprisingly dry and I was struggling on the soft tyres, the car felt soft under braking.
18. 08. 2017 12:03 CET 3 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Very tricky because we expected wet and it was mostly dry. Difficult.
18. 08. 2017 12:03 CET 3 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): More dry than expected. My tyre choice was not fantastic but it's not too aggressive. I'm not unhappy with my choices.
18. 08. 2017 12:02 CET 3 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I went off 1 km from the start. The road was dry then suddenly wet under braking and I went into the vines and lost the front splitter lip. Now I have no down force at all. It makes it very tricky.
18. 08. 2017 12:02 CET 3 (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): was out of road
18. 08. 2017 12:00 CET 3 Stage was delayed for 6 minutes due to the spectators.
18. 08. 2017 11:59 CET 2 flash info (34 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): Last night was a surprise but in this little R5 car I really enjoyed it. I kept it smooth with no slides and it went well! Last year I was close to winning the Super Special in Spain, but I didn't think we'd do that against the new cars.
18. 08. 2017 11:59 CET 2 flash info (32 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): A complete disaster. At the start we were just told to go straightaway. The time is not right. We are not starting on the right time.
18. 08. 2017 11:59 CET 2 flash info (14 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): Really not so easy to drive in some sections. Over the day we will improve.
18. 08. 2017 11:58 CET 2 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): A lot of movement on the tyres, I don't think they were correct for this stage. The time is not so bad, but we were pushing hard.
18. 08. 2017 11:58 CET 2 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): A really stupid mistake last night. But ok all I can do now is go again. I'll try to get to the the end of every stage as quickly as possible today. Paul's wife is in hospital waiting for a baby.
18. 08. 2017 11:58 CET 2 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I'm pretty pleased to be honest. No risks, just checking how much dirt there is on the road. Everything is fine.
18. 08. 2017 11:58 CET 2 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): We lost a bit of time but the car feels really, really cool.
18. 08. 2017 11:57 CET 2 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): I'm on the full soft tyres. I'm waiting for the rain and didn't want to ruin them in the dry.
18. 08. 2017 11:57 CET 2 flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Pretty decent. Trying not to make any mistakes. Neat and tidy, One small mistake but otherwise okay. We have two hard and two soft tyres. Making a choice here is like flipping a coin - we just don't know what the weather will do.
18. 08. 2017 11:57 CET 2 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): A bit of understeer in the junctions. The road is getting dirtier for sure but Sordo's time is good so I can't blame it on that.
18. 08. 2017 11:57 CET 2 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): Quite good. The balance in the car was good. I tried to do my best. It will be difficult today, the weather looks complicated.
18. 08. 2017 11:56 CET 2 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): We went slightly wide into a steel rod on the side, it's broken the front right wing a bit. Everything else ok.
18. 08. 2017 11:56 CET 2 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Difficult to judge the brakes in a few junctions.
18. 08. 2017 11:56 CET 2 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Not so good. We had a spin, not the best start of the rally, we lose maybe five seconds going into a field and back on.
18. 08. 2017 11:55 CET 2 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Three hard tyres and one soft on the car. A different package to what Seb has. I think this was a good choice.
18. 08. 2017 11:55 CET 2 (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): was out of road
18. 08. 2017 12:14 CET 1 retired (96 - Bächle Christian / Brack Isabelle): retired after SS 1
17. 08. 2017 20:06 CET 1 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I had no good feeling in the stage after what I saw with Meeke. I took it quite steady. It's my first time starting a rally leading the championship. I thought we did quite well.
17. 08. 2017 20:06 CET 1 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The real fight starts tomorrow but tonight we've seen that it can be tricky. You can't win the rally tonight but you can lose it.
17. 08. 2017 20:05 CET 1 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): If I have a good feeling in the car I will enjoy it and I'm sure the times will come. I expect some very difficult conditions this weekend. Let's see.
17. 08. 2017 20:05 CET 1 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): What happened to Kris was really unfortunate. This sort of city stage is good, but why did they use the concrete barriers and not plastic? That's not the way to do it. For me not such a bad stage.
17. 08. 2017 20:04 CET 1 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): I know what I can touch.
17. 08. 2017 20:03 CET 1 (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): touched concrete barrier, damaged rim
17. 08. 2017 20:03 CET 1 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): We went as hard as we could. We have a new hard tyre here, which is unknown territory. Lets see what we can do with it.
17. 08. 2017 19:52 CET 1 flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): I'm gutted for Paul and Kris. It's so easy to make a mistake in here. I touched a barrier on the first corner. It's going to be a long weekend. We'll go a hard as we can.
17. 08. 2017 19:52 CET 1 flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): The hairpins are very tight. I touched a bale on the inside but no worries. It's tricky in these wider cars.
17. 08. 2017 19:49 CET 1 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): Let's see where our times are tomorrow.
17. 08. 2017 19:46 CET 1 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Now way. No chance. I need more experience on tarmac and of this car. I'm just not confident enough to push. I need to try to be clever.
17. 08. 2017 19:31 CET 1 Stage is stopped because car no. 7 is blocking the road.
17. 08. 2017 19:26 CET 1 retired (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): broken wheel in SS 1
17. 08. 2017 19:25 CET 1 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I hope we can have a good result. The car feels really nice on tarmac, really enjoyable. I hope for nicer weather than the rain that is forecast.
17. 08. 2017 19:24 CET 1 flash info (14 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): It feels really great to be back in a WRC car but I have to say my feeling for the car is not so easy. Tomorrow we will start the race.
17. 08. 2017 19:20 CET 1 flash info (31 - Tidemand Pontus / Andersson Jonas): I don't think about the title. I just try to stay concentrated. The conditions can be difficult. I'm happy to be here.
17. 08. 2017 19:20 CET 1 flash info (32 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): A lot of challenges here - quite different from Finland.
17. 08. 2017 19:14 CET 1 flash info (41 - Griebel Marijan / Kopczyk Stefan): I'm really happy to be able to open this stage. So many people here. I think my soft tyres were done after one and a half laps.
