INFORMATION ABOUT SS 2
(80 - Knacker Nico / Braun Tobias): was out of road
retired (35 - Pieniążek Łukasz / Heller Kamil): accident in SS 2
flash info (25 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Quite ok but I need to get comfortable with the setup.
flash info (34 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): My second only snow rally. We'll do our best to build experience.
flash info (92 - Tuohino Janne / Markkula Mikko): One spin and we stopped the engine too. My first time here since 2006. I don't have the confidence yet.
flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): I haven't driven a rally for two years, so I feel a bit rusty.
(92 - Tuohino Janne / Markkula Mikko): spun
flash info (68 - Grönholm Marcus / Rautiainen Timo): Oy, oy, oy! That was not nice. We had to reverse to turn around. The temperature is not ok, we have to go now.
(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): spun
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Quite ok. Some really small things and maybe I'm driving a bit wrong. I need to find out more.
(68 - Grönholm Marcus / Rautiainen Timo): spun
flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): The car is a bit slow to react in these conditions. It's very fast and flowing and that's where we struggle. But a clean run. I'm happy with that. Two spares didn't affect the balance.
flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): We have problems with wipers, it was quite distracting, we had some snow on the screen. We'll see if we can fix it before the next stage.
flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): The grip is amazing but I couldn't use the car as I wanted. We can go much faster.
flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The feeling was good. I'm really happy to drive here. I was too aggressive in a couple of places but otherwise all good.
flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): I feel I'm being too hesitant in the car, I'm not driving free yet. I need to find my rhythm.
flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): It felt clean but I wasn't taking full advantage of the grip available. Okay, I'm happy to have a sensible start.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Actually quite good grip, just a few slushy places. Overall the conditions are quite fair at the moment, all good.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was ok. I could push a bit more but its always tricky to start at the that speed at the beginning. I can go quicker. The conditions are not too bad.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It's warm, seven or eight degrees, and very slushy. The grip is okay but a bit inconsistent. Not easy. Not as bad as last year when I had 10cms of fresh snow.
We're expecting a clear day with a few clouds, very light winds and a relatively warm high of 6°C.
