13. 10. 2017 02:59 CET 19 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): It's been an exceptional weekend. It's not about how many times you get knocked down - it's more about how many times you get back up. And I've had to do that a few times in my career, let me tell you. We always knew this car was terrific on asphalt. This result goes to show that. It gives all of us in the team a huge confidence boost.
13. 10. 2017 02:58 CET 19 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It feels great. We did a great job this weekend - even though it hasn't always been easy. After an amazing Friday we struggled a bit more on Saturday morning on asphalt then found a good rhythm. We have taken some good points and a bonus too on the Power Stage. All good.
13. 10. 2017 02:58 CET 19 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We did the maximum we could over the past two days. It's nice to be back on tarmac and the feeling is good. Great points for the team too. Almost the perfect weekend.
13. 10. 2017 02:58 CET 19 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): Very close to the best drive of my career. It's good to see I can fight with these guys. It has been a big pleasure.
13. 10. 2017 02:57 CET 19 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It's been a really good weekend. My last rally was Finland and I had good speed there too. We were leading here on Friday, and since then I have learned a lot about this car on tarmac. Now I can't wait to get to Great Britain.
13. 10. 2017 02:57 CET 19 flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): We tried to push but it was very difficult with the hydraulic problem. We finish having gained good experience.
13. 10. 2017 02:57 CET 19 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Definitely looking forward to putting this one behind me. A tough, tough weekend. Now we move on. I'm looking forward to Great Britain. It will be a relief to get there.
13. 10. 2017 02:56 CET 19 flash info (32 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It's an awesome feeling for me to win on Tarmac. It's my first win on this surface and a special feeling.
13. 10. 2017 02:56 CET 19 flash info (31 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): It's good but still I'm disappointed. The Stewards made a wrong decision, we lost more than a minute in the dust and we got nothing back. But that's life. Our pace on tarmac was great.
13. 10. 2017 02:56 CET 19 flash info (9 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris): Fantastic. The car is improving, we are improving and I'm pleased to see the progress.
13. 10. 2017 02:55 CET 19 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): I was on the limit here, the balance of the car is good. I enjoyed a lot during during the weekend, we take many positives but we paid a heavy price for one mistake. I'm disappointed for the spectators, the team and myself. Sorry.
13. 10. 2017 02:54 CET 19 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I think we can take a lot of positives. The pace on gravel was good. Ok, I need more time on tarmac but I feel have progressed in the last two days. We have a job in front of us but I'm so pleased we have these three rallies before the new season starts.
13. 10. 2017 02:54 CET 18 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): The intercom is ok now, but the broken windscreen is affecting my confidence. Some adjustments in the car have made it calmer but still a lot of understeer.
13. 10. 2017 02:53 CET 18 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): I saved the tyres a bit for the Power Stage. Plenty of positives to take from this rally but unfortunately one big negative.
13. 10. 2017 02:53 CET 18 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I'm really happy. With this gap, just to be able to drive is nice. I'm not interested in fighting for points on the Power Stage.
13. 10. 2017 02:53 CET 18 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): A couple extra points on the Power Stage would be nice but I will not go for the full risk.
13. 10. 2017 02:53 CET 18 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was ok. Now it is very important to finish. Just bring them back.
13. 10. 2017 02:52 CET 18 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): I tried to keep it steady and smooth. We go like this now.
13. 10. 2017 02:52 CET 18 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): Still enjoying, still learning. It's a shame it's the final day.
13. 10. 2017 02:52 CET 18 flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): I drove with my eyes. Also I have a problem with the diff, and the hydraulic shift, I have to use the manual gear change.
13. 10. 2017 02:52 CET 18 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): A difficult and frustrating event when you want to be fighting at the front.
13. 10. 2017 02:51 CET 18 flash info (9 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris): A long delay at the start, then a spin and a stall at the roundabout.
13. 10. 2017 02:51 CET 18 (9 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris): Stalled at the roundabout.
13. 10. 2017 02:51 CET 18 Stage will be delayed for 15 minutes.
13. 10. 2017 02:49 CET 17 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): When you get a feeling this good and the car is working so well it's easy, simple and I enjoyed it. I just forget everything and enjoy it.
13. 10. 2017 02:49 CET 17 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): If I want to keep second place, and ahead of my team-mate, I have to keep the rhythm. I've said before, third would be okay but second is better.
13. 10. 2017 02:49 CET 17 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Still some stages to go, but very important to bring both cars to the finish and score the points.
13. 10. 2017 02:48 CET 17 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): I know I cannot catch the guys ahead and there is a big gap behind - let's just keep it steady like this.
13. 10. 2017 02:48 CET 17 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I feel more and more comfortable in the car - like l am controlling it, and it is not controlling me.
13. 10. 2017 02:48 CET 17 flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): This stage is much better in daylight but we have a small issue with the car - a small hydraulic problem perhaps.
13. 10. 2017 02:47 CET 17 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It's all about getting to the end for us now. The two guys going out today have moved us into a decent position. It's about being smart now, and thinking about our road position for Great Britain.
13. 10. 2017 02:47 CET 17 flash info (9 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris): Unfortunately I stalled on the start line, but I'm really starting to enjoy these stages.
13. 10. 2017 02:49 CET 16 retired (103 - Ramos João Fernando / Carvalho Jorge): retired after SS 16
08. 10. 2017 09:24 CET 16 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): A lot of things have happened today, wow. We are trying some new things this morning, some are better some are worse. I still need to figure the car out on Tarmac. We'll get there.
08. 10. 2017 09:24 CET 16 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): I'm so sorry for Thierry and the team. Not a good moment for Hyundai. We have really bad luck.
08. 10. 2017 09:14 CET 16 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): A few tricky places, but a clean stage after a period of difficulty, so I'm happy.
08. 10. 2017 09:12 CET 16 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It is even more important to finish the rally now. I could see in the stage the line of the tyres and the oil.
08. 10. 2017 09:12 CET 16 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): There was some oil in the road in some tricky places. Not so nice.
08. 10. 2017 09:11 CET 16 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): I believe this time is not enough. I'm a bit worried about my tyres. I wanted to save them. Let's see what the other guys do.
08. 10. 2017 09:07 CET 16 retired (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): broken steering after SS 16
08. 10. 2017 09:05 CET 16 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It's game over. Same problem as my colleagues yesterday. It's like this.
08. 10. 2017 09:05 CET 16 (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Gets off line, and cuts a right-hand corner too deeply. Looks like he collected a rock and now the right-hand wheel is pointing out at 90 degrees.
08. 10. 2017 09:04 CET 16 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I try a few things with the car. Now I think I should just leave the car normal and focus on my driving instead.
08. 10. 2017 09:04 CET 16 flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): My pacenotes were not so good. We try to understand these Spanish roads.
08. 10. 2017 09:03 CET 16 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): We're doing what we've got to do to get through.
08. 10. 2017 09:03 CET 16 flash info (9 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris): A really nice stage. When you are in the lines it's really enjoyable.
13. 10. 2017 02:45 CET 15 retired (109 - Serratosa Adrià / González Oscar): retired after SS 15
13. 10. 2017 02:45 CET 15 retired (94 - Sosa Gustavo / Gonzalez Eduardo): retired after SS 15
08. 10. 2017 08:17 CET 15 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): We took off the light pods before the stage and forgot about the bonnet clips. Then in the stage the intercom stopped working.
08. 10. 2017 08:16 CET 15 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): At the roundabout, I hand braked as normal, went for the power and there didn't seem to be anything there. I don't know why but I reckon I dropped four seconds. The time still seems ok,
08. 10. 2017 08:16 CET 15 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Yes, I guess its going to be like this to the end. I need to give it everything but I don't want to take full risks.
08. 10. 2017 08:16 CET 15 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Very tough with the gearbox, not enjoyable at all. I try my best. I'm going close to the limit - not over it. I don't see a chance to pass him.
08. 10. 2017 08:15 CET 15 (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): Driving with the bonnet up.
08. 10. 2017 08:05 CET 15 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): I'm losing time in the twisty sections - I can't do any miracles. Let's see.
08. 10. 2017 08:04 CET 15 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It won't be difficult for him to be quicker than me here - in this stage we have no chance. Understeer, understeer, understeer. I can't go on the throttle. So frustrating. We are not competitive.
08. 10. 2017 08:02 CET 15 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): A good stage. I stopped at the roundabout to have a look.
08. 10. 2017 08:02 CET 15 retired (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): accident in SS 15
08. 10. 2017 07:57 CET 15 (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): stopped in stage
08. 10. 2017 07:57 CET 15 flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): We have woken up now! This one was very difficult, it's my first time here.
08. 10. 2017 07:56 CET 15 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): I struggled a lot in here. Just couldn't get the front end to turn in.
08. 10. 2017 07:56 CET 15 flash info (9 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris): No cuts in the road. A good start. It's getting better - all about the mileage.
08. 10. 2017 07:55 CET 14 flash info (82 - Camilli Eric / Veillas Benjamin): I broke the differential just before the start line so I am in rear-wheel drive only.
08. 10. 2017 07:55 CET 14 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): Using this day to try some different things with the car. Not really on the attack.
08. 10. 2017 07:55 CET 14 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): That's a terrible time. After yesterday's mistake the plan is to try and take some points on the Power Stage. We can't do any more than that.
08. 10. 2017 07:54 CET 14 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Beautiful. I love driving in the night time. The lights give you a sort of tunnel vision and in a car working well on tarmac it's perfect.
08. 10. 2017 07:54 CET 14 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We knew it would be a tight day - I was a bit too hesitant in the dark.
08. 10. 2017 07:54 CET 14 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Not so bad. The day looks very tight and we don't have all the tools we need but we try to do our best.
08. 10. 2017 07:54 CET 14 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): I don't know how it can be so difficult, but I didn't feel my driving was very clean. Nothing special. I am looking forward to the sun coming up.
08. 10. 2017 07:53 CET 14 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I have no choice. I pushed very hard. I started understeering near the end but I have to catch Juho today at least. I have finished second in this championship twice before - so I have nothing to lose.
08. 10. 2017 07:53 CET 14 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Quite ok, no mistakes, all the time on the safe side - just not fast enough.
08. 10. 2017 07:52 CET 14 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It was okay, dark and I am tired. Looking forward to the daylight now. And what caused my frustration after SS 13? It was a mixture of things. I had an electrical problem, so I had no handbrake, and before the stage I was held up by spectators in the road before the check in. I was frustrated that the marshals did not do their job properly.
08. 10. 2017 07:52 CET 14 flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): It's too early for me. All ok though, I push a bit more, and I am trying a different driving style.
08. 10. 2017 07:52 CET 14 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Fine, no problem. Not the best run. We have tried a few things on the car which I'm not so keen on.
08. 10. 2017 07:52 CET 14 flash info (9 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris): Trying to get the feeling and warm my tyres.
08. 10. 2017 08:21 CET 13 retired (104 - Rozada Roberto / Murado José Angel): retired after SS 13
08. 10. 2017 07:50 CET 13 retired (90 - Solans Jan / Barreiro Mauro): retired in SS 13
07. 10. 2017 19:53 CET 13 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It is big battle with Ott (Tänak). I have to fight. Second possition would be better than third.
07. 10. 2017 19:51 CET 13 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I will continue to push to catch Juho (Hänninen).
07. 10. 2017 19:50 CET 13 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): I haven't give up on a podium.
07. 10. 2017 19:49 CET 13 flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): I stalled and than it took a long time to start again.
07. 10. 2017 19:39 CET 13 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): I stalled twice.
08. 10. 2017 07:25 CET 12 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The second loop has been better than the first. We have kept out of trouble and have a better feeling in the car. Hopefully tomorrow we continue in the same way.
08. 10. 2017 07:25 CET 12 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): It's been a good day. This morning we were able to catch everyone on the hop and this afternoon was all about not doing anything stupid. There's one tricky super special to go tonight - and I didn't cover myself in glory on the Super Special in Germany! We have to keep concentrated.
08. 10. 2017 07:25 CET 12 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It's not over, even if I think we deserved better than this. What can we do?
08. 10. 2017 07:24 CET 12 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We had some issues but we have repaired them ready for the last stage.
08. 10. 2017 07:23 CET 12 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I have to be happy. A great morning and ok, maybe the Fords have found something extra in the afternoon. Altogether a great day. I will push tomorrow - that's clear.
08. 10. 2017 07:22 CET 12 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): I have to be happy. A great morning and okay, maybe the Fords have found something extra in the afternoon. Altogether a great day. I will push tomorrow - that's clear.
08. 10. 2017 07:22 CET 12 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): We made some changes in service and the car is feeling better.
08. 10. 2017 07:22 CET 12 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It's been a really difficult day. It's difficult to find motivation to push when you are half a second off the pace. It's very hard.
07. 10. 2017 19:37 CET 12 retired (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): broken steering in SS 12
07. 10. 2017 19:24 CET 12 retired (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): broken steering in SS 12
08. 10. 2017 07:49 CET 11 retired (46 - Yates Rhys / Lee Alex): retired after SS 11
08. 10. 2017 07:48 CET 11 retired (101 - Esteban Zihara / Sánchez Alba): retired in SS 11
08. 10. 2017 07:47 CET 11 retired (63 - Ciamin Nicolas / De La Haye Thibault): broken suspension in SS 11
08. 10. 2017 07:18 CET 11 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): That's a lot of seconds but gradually I think it is getting better and better - I just need more time in the car. All cars are different and this is completely the opposite to the snappy handling of the Citroen.
08. 10. 2017 07:18 CET 11 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Finally, an ok time. We have changed the car setup many times and now it seems ok. The plan now? We have to keep pushing.
08. 10. 2017 07:17 CET 11 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): A nice rhythm. A little bit more clean that the previous stage. When the car is working I am in good form - no problem.
08. 10. 2017 07:17 CET 11 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It was okay, faster and faster. I found the limit a bit in here. It's getting to the point where I need to work on the details now.
08. 10. 2017 07:17 CET 11 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was okay, the car is behaving itself better. It felt comfortable so I was able to go at a good speed. Ok, we lost a lot of time for technical reasons but we keep going - everything is possible.
08. 10. 2017 07:16 CET 11 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): The time is not so bad. I tried to do my best and the car was ok. It's very easy to make a mistake here.
08. 10. 2017 07:16 CET 11 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): Ok, that's good.
08. 10. 2017 07:16 CET 11 flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): Good at the start but after some kilometres my brake pads lost their grip.
08. 10. 2017 07:16 CET 11 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): A few mistakes. A few times too slow over the crests. I thought I could improve after the first run. It seems I couldn't. I need to work on my pace notes for next year.
08. 10. 2017 07:15 CET 11 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): The balance is ok, but I can't lean on the tyres. It is what it is.
08. 10. 2017 07:15 CET 11 flash info (9 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris): There is pollution all over the road in the cuts now. 80 per cent of every corner.
08. 10. 2017 07:46 CET 10 retired (93 - Macias Felix / Alvarez Monica): retired after SS 10
08. 10. 2017 07:15 CET 10 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): Now the temperature is increasing I feel I have more understeer, it's not nice. I tried to drive on the limit. I know how to drive on tarmac, I don't want to change too much.
08. 10. 2017 07:14 CET 10 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I tried to push but I'm not so happy. I struggled with understeer. It's hard to push harder. That's how it is.
08. 10. 2017 07:14 CET 10 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Really happy. A good run. Quite a lot of pollution. It's a long time since I've been in this position, just trying to manage it. Overly cautious in the dirty corners.
08. 10. 2017 07:14 CET 10 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Quite difficult. It was not meant to drive on tarmac. A challenge for me, I have to try and live with it.
08. 10. 2017 07:13 CET 10 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I'm still discovering this car, it's fantastic and I enjoy it. Okay, a bit of a disappointment to lose time, but eight seconds to the faster driver is incredible.
08. 10. 2017 07:13 CET 10 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I still struggled a bit with understeer and we can make a few changes but it's difficult to make a difference in these conditions. We have to be clever.
08. 10. 2017 07:12 CET 10 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): I tried to do my best, a little bit of understeer. I tried to do a perfect stage and enjoyed a lot.
08. 10. 2017 07:12 CET 10 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): Nothing special. No problems, just trying not to overheat the tyres, perhaps I could have pushed them more. I'm happy though.
08. 10. 2017 07:12 CET 10 flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): I tried to push in a couple of places. It was not so bad.
08. 10. 2017 07:11 CET 10 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): A better feeling for sure. The guys made some changes in service, which have helped, but it's more or less the same story.
08. 10. 2017 07:11 CET 10 flash info (9 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris): A lot more loose gravel on the surface compared to this morning. I had to back off in some places.
07. 10. 2017 19:19 CET 10 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): There was a lot of gravel on the road.
07. 10. 2017 19:18 CET 10 Up from two to three minutes for the 2017 World Rally Car crews.
07. 10. 2017 19:17 CET 10 (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Tänak got new gearbox during service, but this one is gravel spec. (now tarmac surface) and therefore will not have also differential set up.
07. 10. 2017 19:16 CET 10 Weather: 22˚C and dry conditions.
08. 10. 2017 07:42 CET 9 retired (103 - Ramos João Fernando / Carvalho Jorge): retired after SS 9
08. 10. 2017 07:40 CET 9 retired (89 - Navas Martin / Lopez Alejandro): retired in SS 9
08. 10. 2017 07:09 CET 9 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): It's been a big learning curve this morning. I hoped for more pace but I need to know the car more on Tarmac to go fast. I'm in the process of learning.
08. 10. 2017 07:08 CET 9 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Yes, but we are not where we wanted to be. I wanted to be faster and we need to improve in the afternoon. The balance of car in the first stage was not fantastic. On the second pass we will be faster.
08. 10. 2017 07:08 CET 9 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I made many set-up changes before the previous stage. This one was not perfect - some transmission issue maybe.
08. 10. 2017 07:07 CET 9 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I'm enjoying the car. Ok, I need some more time on Tarmac but it feels good.
08. 10. 2017 07:07 CET 9 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): I'm feeling very comfortable. It's a pleasure to drive. Very enjoyable and these stage times are coming quite easy.
08. 10. 2017 07:06 CET 9 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I made changes to the differential. It's going better and better.
08. 10. 2017 07:06 CET 9 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): The balance of the car doesn't feel terrible. We're just struggling for overall grip. We knew it would be difficult. It's difficult to made progress during the season.
07. 10. 2017 19:09 CET 9 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): This stage was new, and there was a lot of gravel on the road, therefore we were carefull.
07. 10. 2017 19:06 CET 9 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I had hydraulic problem on the stage before. Than I couldn´t start the car. When I tried to catch the start time I spun on the road section and little damage the rear.
08. 10. 2017 07:41 CET 8 retired (91 - Font Joan / Velasco Enrique): retired after SS 8
07. 10. 2017 17:29 CET 8 flash info (31 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): We cannot get any time back from yesterday. It's a shame. Unfair when we were caught in the dust and we cannot get the time back. That's life. Now we will try our best.
07. 10. 2017 17:28 CET 8 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I tried the best I could, but this type of stage is all about fine turning and knowing the car. I'm learning. I need more time in the car.
07. 10. 2017 17:28 CET 8 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Just not quite on the pace. The car is not so bad. I don't know, I probably need to push more.
07. 10. 2017 17:27 CET 8 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): A good stage, more of a racing stage. The car feels phenomenal - I'm going to try and enjoy it. Now we have to concentrate on managing the lead.
07. 10. 2017 17:27 CET 8 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We made many changes in between and the feeling was much better. Still some bits to improve but the balance is much better now.
07. 10. 2017 17:27 CET 8 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): Better. The first one was really difficult. I don't have much experience of this car on Tarmac. It's incredible but I need to build my experience.
07. 10. 2017 17:24 CET 8 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): I did the same from the beginning but the time is not so good.
07. 10. 2017 17:24 CET 8 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It feels better but still not what I want. The car feels okay but my pace notes were too slow and I was not committed enough. We need to improve.
07. 10. 2017 17:23 CET 8 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): A better rhythm than the first one. I really enjoyed it.
07. 10. 2017 17:23 CET 8 flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): Better than the last one I think. The car was okay but I lose eight seconds and a position to Lappi, so it's not good enough.
07. 10. 2017 17:22 CET 8 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Ok, no mistakes, no drama. Everything is fine.
07. 10. 2017 17:22 CET 8 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It felt a bit better than the first one. We have to concentrate on doing the best job we can and learn as much as possible.
07. 10. 2017 17:21 CET 8 flash info (9 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris): A new stage, so a few changes to the pace notes. All dry.
07. 10. 2017 11:31 CET 8 Stage will be delayed for 8 minutes.
08. 10. 2017 07:39 CET 7 retired (94 - Sosa Gustavo / Gonzalez Eduardo): retired after SS 7
08. 10. 2017 07:32 CET 7 retired (98 - Guibert Jean-Christophe / Gracial Laurent): retired before SS 7
07. 10. 2017 11:30 CET 7 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I struggled to get a good feeling. Some rain in the middle. A lot of understeer - that was a limiter for me.
07. 10. 2017 11:30 CET 7 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Obviously too slow. Not a super feeling, a bit of rain at the beginning, a bit of understeer. Not perfect, but ok, we will try harder on the next one.
07. 10. 2017 11:29 CET 7 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): It felt good we had no asphalt test and I thought the car was perhaps a bit too soft. I had the the wipers on full as one point, but then in the forest we were protected a bit.
07. 10. 2017 11:29 CET 7 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I'm not so happy with the car. It's not behaving like it should do, it's not turning. We need to try and improve.
07. 10. 2017 11:29 CET 7 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I went off immediately, after just a few hundred metres. I lost a lot of time and my confidence too.
07. 10. 2017 11:28 CET 7 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): At the beginning of the stage it's raining like hell, but only for 3km. My drive was okay, a little understeer, like I expected, but okay. Seeing Hanninen's time, we need to improve.
07. 10. 2017 11:28 CET 7 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I'm understeering like hell. In every corner. It's undriveable.
07. 10. 2017 11:27 CET 7 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): Not completely happy but an ok start. I have a compromise setup.
07. 10. 2017 11:27 CET 7 flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): I know we have a good car on Tarmac. I tried to push but I'm unhappy with my driving.
07. 10. 2017 11:26 CET 7 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It must have been loose. Otherwise no moments, a bit on the safe side, so easy to improve.
07. 10. 2017 11:26 CET 7 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): The feeling from a driving point of view was not so bad, but we struggled in the second half - the car was understeering whenever I leaned on it. Difficult.
07. 10. 2017 11:25 CET 7 flash info (9 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris): A little bit cautious because it was a damp at the start and the car was sliding.
07. 10. 2017 11:25 CET 7 Stage will be delayed.
08. 10. 2017 07:35 CET 6 retired (108 - Salinas Jordi / Barrera Oscar): Volant RACC after SS 6
08. 10. 2017 07:35 CET 6 retired (106 - Vila Aleix / Roca Marc): Volant RACC after SS 6
08. 10. 2017 07:34 CET 6 retired (105 - Bassas Josep / Muñoz Manuel): Volant RACC after SS 6
06. 10. 2017 20:33 CET 6 retired (66 - Rådström Dennis / Johansson Johan): retired in SS 6
06. 10. 2017 20:24 CET 6 flash info (33 - Tempestini Simone / Bernacchini Giovanni): A good day for us. No problems. These long stages are very nice. A long day though, hard to manage the car around the big stones.
06. 10. 2017 20:23 CET 6 flash info (32 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): We lost the powersteering in the last stage. I think I need to go to the gym because it's hard to drive like this.
06. 10. 2017 20:23 CET 6 flash info (31 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): It was much better this time because we got a five minute gap to Serderidis ahead and I didn't need to stop on the stage because of the dust.
06. 10. 2017 17:22 CET 6 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): The car is full of dust, I struggled to see, and the heater is stuck on. It's like 100 degrees in here. When it's like this I cannot say focused. Stupid things are destroying our rally for the moment.
06. 10. 2017 17:22 CET 6 flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): Better. You have to do these stages many times before you understand them.
06. 10. 2017 17:19 CET 6 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): A much better run this time on the hard tyres. Ok, I'm a bit frustrated about the mistake in the hairpin earlier but I'm in a good position overnight, so I'm happy.
06. 10. 2017 17:19 CET 6 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I thought I had a puncture, or perhaps a broken damper, I think something happened with the suspension. Still, we managed and we are here. I'm happy with my day, getting used to the car and fighting back at the top.
06. 10. 2017 17:19 CET 6 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): At least we have brakes now but the suspension is not good enough - it's too nervous.
06. 10. 2017 17:18 CET 6 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): Not so good in the morning. A bit too careful in the rough sections, I could have pushed more.
06. 10. 2017 17:18 CET 6 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): I can't take anything from this. It was so, so difficult - even before the first split.
06. 10. 2017 17:18 CET 6 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): I tried my best but it's very, very difficult. Not a lot of traction.
06. 10. 2017 17:18 CET 6 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): This afternoon has been difficult. I felt some impact in this stage and lost the brakes in the Tarmac section. A tricky second loop today.
06. 10. 2017 17:17 CET 6 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was not easy on the Tarmac and I have two spares as well. Also I was changing my diff settings during the stage and I got a bit confused with the diff map.
06. 10. 2017 17:17 CET 6 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Let's see how the times look at the end, but whatever happens I can be happy with my day. I expected to lose more today from my position first on the road. My competitors today were Ott and Thierry and I'm happy with what I have done.
06. 10. 2017 16:43 CET 6 retired (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): retired before SS 6
06. 10. 2017 16:42 CET 5 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It is better now for sure, there is still some dust coming in but I can see clearly now. We are just trying to go as quick as possible. It's a close fight and I did a few mistakes in there. It's easy to go over the limit.
06. 10. 2017 16:42 CET 5 flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): That's better. The grip was good but it's easy to destroy your tyres.
06. 10. 2017 16:39 CET 5 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I spun right at the end of the stage. I caught a lip on the asphalt and had to stop and reverse to get going again. I lost five or six seconds. Otherwise I I feel good. It feels a bit like Mexico here - the roads are not dissimilar.
06. 10. 2017 16:19 CET 5 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): Improving and improving stage by stage. I know I will like this car - it can only get better from here.
06. 10. 2017 16:18 CET 5 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Too many mistakes. The grip is ok but the brakes are not. I think it will be impossible for me to manage them in Terra Alta.
06. 10. 2017 16:17 CET 5 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): Now is the time to focus on the driving. No more changes. We just carry on like this.
06. 10. 2017 16:17 CET 5 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): A little better, but the tyres are still moving around at the end. Probably a bit too hot than we'd hoped for. It is what it is. We just have to get through the day.
06. 10. 2017 16:06 CET 5 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): That's good. A better feeling that this morning, more grip, better balance in the car. I'm happy.
06. 10. 2017 16:05 CET 5 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The first three corners didn't go that well. That's where I lost the time. It took a while to get the rhythm back.
06. 10. 2017 16:00 CET 5 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's difficult to find a good feeling with the car this afternoon. It's just not working when it's good grip.
06. 10. 2017 15:59 CET 5 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I tried to push hard but with a second spare wheel its not so easy and the rear moves around a lot. But now I have two new tyres for the long stage and hopefully I can catch up some more time.
06. 10. 2017 15:58 CET 5 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): All ok for us - we have to go.
06. 10. 2017 15:58 CET 4 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I'm a bit happier, but maybe this was too much for the tyres already. I have to have a look.
06. 10. 2017 15:58 CET 4 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): Everything is quite okay. We made a few changes in service. We might try a few more things before Terra Alta.
06. 10. 2017 15:57 CET 4 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): For sure there is a grippy line, and the feeling wasn't too bad, but the time is terrible. I expected to be closer.
06. 10. 2017 15:57 CET 4 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): More grip and traction this time.
06. 10. 2017 15:57 CET 4 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): This is the way we want to go! We made changes during service and we realized we did something wrong in the morning. The grip wasn't all that great.
06. 10. 2017 15:56 CET 4 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Very difficult at the moment. Quite a good line, but either side it is very deep gravel.
06. 10. 2017 15:56 CET 4 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I had to learn the car on the hard tyres but I tried to push hard and to manage.
06. 10. 2017 15:56 CET 4 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I tried hard but it's difficult with these lines. I'm surprised to be up on the split.
06. 10. 2017 20:28 CET 3 retired (113 - Freire Óscar / Martínez Gabino): retired after SS 3
06. 10. 2017 15:54 CET 3 retired (115 - Giampaoli Christina / Galán de la Fuente María Luisa): retired in SS 3
06. 10. 2017 15:53 CET 3 retired (111 - Ribeiro Claudi / Anglada Marta): retired in SS 3
06. 10. 2017 12:38 CET 3 flash info (39 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): We have a problem with the gearbox.
06. 10. 2017 12:38 CET 3 flash info (42 - Nordgren Juuso / Suominen Tapio): This was a difficult one! First Arai was crashed, his car - and a tree - in the middle of the road. The crew are okay and we managed to pass. Then we lost some brakes - my mistake - otherwise ok.
06. 10. 2017 12:26 CET 3 retired (40 - Arai Hiroki / MacNeall Glenn): accident in SS 3
06. 10. 2017 12:25 CET 3 (40 - Arai Hiroki / MacNeall Glenn): rolled
06. 10. 2017 12:17 CET 3 flash info (31 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): I'm not happy because we ask for a few minutes more between us and Serderidis because of the dust. We caught him in the tarmac section and from there we lost a lot of time. It should not be like this."
06. 10. 2017 12:01 CET 3 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It's ridiculous. I don't see in the stage and my co-driver is struggling with this voice. It's not going as well as I wanted. It's difficult to keep the rhythm - and to breathe.
06. 10. 2017 11:55 CET 3 flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): This one is very, very difficult. It's only my second time here. Difficult to push.
06. 10. 2017 11:53 CET 3 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I was haemorrhaging time in the tarmac section.
06. 10. 2017 11:51 CET 3 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): A clean stage. I made some differential changes before the stage and it's better now. I start to feel more and more at home.
06. 10. 2017 11:47 CET 3 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): No brakes. When we hit the tarmac section they went - and that was it.
06. 10. 2017 11:45 CET 3 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): A nice stage but difficult to keep a rhythm and keep it in the line. The rear started to slide everywhere. Not so easy.
06. 10. 2017 11:42 CET 3 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): I nicked something on the inside of a corner near the end. Must have been a stone or something. It didn't cost us a lot of time. Before that I was lacking traction.
06. 10. 2017 11:39 CET 3 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): It was okay but in the middle I though the car started to feel a bit strange. It seems okay now.
06. 10. 2017 11:39 CET 3 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I felt I could push in here but when you look at Ogier's pace maybe mine wasn't the best tyre choice.
06. 10. 2017 11:32 CET 3 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): A tricky one. At the beginning it was ok, but on the tarmac section we had a tyre alarm. I thought we had a puncture. It was disturbing and I lost my rhythm.
06. 10. 2017 11:26 CET 3 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Not the greatest choice. I lost them about 10km into the stage. I tried to do everything but there was nothing we could do. A few wide moments but we survived and we can continue to push.
06. 10. 2017 11:26 CET 3 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I really struggled through the end of the stage. Let's see how the time compares, maybe on the soft tyres the guys behind will struggle as well.
06. 10. 2017 15:55 CET 2 retired (103 - Ramos João Fernando / Carvalho Jorge): retired after SS 2
06. 10. 2017 12:07 CET 2 retired (86 - Vatanen Max / Salva Thierry): accident in SS 2
06. 10. 2017 11:15 CET 2 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I'm angry because we just start the rally and the car is FULL of dust. There must be a big hole because there is so much dust inside the car. I could have been faster - it's typical that something like this happens.
06. 10. 2017 11:15 CET 2 flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): A lot better on this stage than the first. Good confidence in my pace notes.
06. 10. 2017 11:15 CET 2 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I'm enjoying my driving this morning. The tyres choice is okay I think but not as much cleaning as I expected.
06. 10. 2017 11:14 CET 2 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): It's okay but the road isn't cleaning a lot. I was expecting it to clean more. Overall I'm happy with how things are going so far. I'm trying to push, but not too much while I learn the car. I try to be on it a bit...
06. 10. 2017 11:14 CET 2 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): A much better stage. I'm here to learn.
06. 10. 2017 11:14 CET 2 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): A bit frustrating. So slippery and difficult to get the traction from the corners on these hard tyres. I try to push but then I lose the line. Okay, we try to do our best but it's difficult for me at the moment.
06. 10. 2017 11:14 CET 2 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Really mixed conditions in here. We've got a few little issues to sort out. Some things with the launch to fix.
06. 10. 2017 11:13 CET 2 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): I pushed like hell. I don't want to be at the back. If I want to get the best from these tyres I have to push. I was nervous at the beginning, now I start to relax.
06. 10. 2017 11:13 CET 2 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I struggles with the gear changes. I did some mistakes and I'm not happy with my driving. My mistake - I was shifting too early.
06. 10. 2017 11:13 CET 2 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): No so many issues. You can see the cleaning coming out but it's still extremely slippery. It's okay, I have a good feeling with the car.
06. 10. 2017 11:12 CET 2 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I saw some lines where Seb went very wide but no drama I think. I did a good stage, the gap is quite okay. Now we have to pick the right tyres for the next stage.
06. 10. 2017 11:52 CET 1 retired (38 - Katsuta Takamoto / Salminen Marko): retired after SS 1
06. 10. 2017 11:22 CET 1 retired (41 - Andolfi Fabio / Scattolin Simone): retired in SS 1
06. 10. 2017 11:15 CET 1 retired (35 - Greensmith Gus / Parry Craig): retired in SS 1
06. 10. 2017 11:12 CET 1 flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It was quite a good stage but we have so much dust in the car I can barely see through the windscreen.
06. 10. 2017 11:11 CET 1 flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): I have no confidence with the grip. I need to build my confidence.
06. 10. 2017 11:11 CET 1 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Not clean at all. Loose everywhere. I'm just bedding myself in.
06. 10. 2017 11:10 CET 1 flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): Quite safe driving, just trying to get used to the car, no surprises. It will take a bit of time to get used to it but we can drive very fast in this car.
06. 10. 2017 11:09 CET 1 flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I need to build my experience on these roads. I was expecting much more. Generally it was very messy.
06. 10. 2017 11:09 CET 1 flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): For sure there is a line [in the road] but its really, really narrow and not wide enough to use. Really tricky conditions.
06. 10. 2017 11:09 CET 1 flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It's still very slippery out there, no clean line yet, a lot of very different lines [in the road]. Scope to go harder I think.
06. 10. 2017 11:09 CET 1 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): The hard tyre is too hard. We don't have traction and grip.
06. 10. 2017 11:08 CET 1 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): We are on full hard tyres - that's the difference to the guys ahead on this stage. I was sure we would lose time here - no worries. It will be better for me on Terra Alta.
06. 10. 2017 11:08 CET 1 flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): There is no real line in the road so far. For the moment the car is handling nice - a good feeling for now.
06. 10. 2017 11:08 CET 1 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I don't know, ok, I was in a different mood at the beginning, then I got into a good rhythm and it was better.
06. 10. 2017 11:08 CET 1 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Ok, I'm happy with my drive. Not a bad stage for us. Clean.
