15. 09. 2019 14:26 CET 		17 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): That was the plan this weekend - it was really needed. When we were here we knew that anything could happen in here as there are some really tricky places. It's good for the team at a tricky time. We need to keep moving, there are still things to improve on but I am really happy to bring them the win this weekend.
15. 09. 2019 15:25
15. 09. 2019 14:25 CET 		17 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): We got a puncture on the last one and I was just following the lines! Luckily we managed to be fast enough to be second so it's really good.
15. 09. 2019 15:25
15. 09. 2019 14:25 CET 		17 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): It's been a good rally for us - we tried to stay away from drama and we managed it well. The pace on the first pass of every stage was always good, but we need to look at and improve our pace in the second pass. Overall, very happy with this rally. We took it steady through here.
15. 09. 2019 15:25
15. 09. 2019 14:25 CET 		17 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): That was really consistent. We were able to balance the pace with the conditions. A really big thanks to the team - the mechanics have had a lot of work to do to fix the car in all of the services.
15. 09. 2019 15:25
15. 09. 2019 14:25 CET 		17 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): This was the target for today - to take the points and we did. We will see how Mikkelsen does and hopefully we can take some points from Toyota.
15. 09. 2019 15:24
15. 09. 2019 14:24 CET 		17 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It's been a tough weekend but the main thing is that we finished the rally and we didn't suffer issues. The car was strong but we seemed to be missing some pace and I will hold my hand up and say that I made a mistake with getting the right setup in the test. Wales will be very different.
15. 09. 2019 15:24
15. 09. 2019 14:24 CET 		17 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): We didn't have the pace to compete at the sharp end. The long stage on Saturday threw us back but okay, we have a lot of work to do with the car on this kind of rally.
15. 09. 2019 15:24
15. 09. 2019 14:24 CET 		17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I gave it everything. I couldn't do more but okay, that's how it is. It was a difficult weekend but we have three more rallies to go, so let's see what happens there.
15. 09. 2019 15:24
15. 09. 2019 14:24 CET 		17 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): Thank you very much - to be honest I am very happy and I feel like I have learnt how to drive it over the weekend. I am really grateful to everyone who has supported me and thanks to M-Sport for this opportunity.
15. 09. 2019 15:23
15. 09. 2019 14:23 CET 		17 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Let's see if it gives us anything. We don't know yet. We had to use medium tyres because we know hards are not working for us, but it was very soft.
15. 09. 2019 15:23
15. 09. 2019 14:23 CET 		17 flash info (41 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): It's a nice feeling - this is our best result and it is amazing. We lost a driveshaft, but we are here. It's a strong car. Thanks Lotos Rally Team and to our families - this is very expensive to them and I am not talking about money. Thanks a lot.
15. 09. 2019 15:23
15. 09. 2019 14:23 CET 		17 (41 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): broken driveshaft
15. 09. 2019 15:22
15. 09. 2019 14:22 CET 		17 flash info (22 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): Why can't I just do it easy for once?! What a morning! It needs to be Gus-strong when I'm driving it.
15. 09. 2019 15:22
15. 09. 2019 14:22 CET 		17 flash info (23 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): I don't know how big the damage is for Gus so we will see. I think we will know quite soon.
15. 09. 2019 15:21
15. 09. 2019 14:21 CET 		17 Starting order: 1.Kopecký 2.Greensmith 3.Kajetanowicz 4.Tänak 5.Tidemand 6.Neuville 7.Meeke 8.Latvala 9.Sordo 10.Suninen 11.Mikkelsen 12.Lappi 13.Ogier
15. 09. 2019 15:29
15. 09. 2019 14:29 CET 		16 Stage was cancelled, other crews will use alternative route.
15. 09. 2019 15:28
15. 09. 2019 14:28 CET 		16 Stage was interrupted because of crash st.no.51.
15. 09. 2019 15:27
15. 09. 2019 14:27 CET 		16 retired (51 - Gill Gaurav / MacNeall Glenn): accident in SS 16
15. 09. 2019 15:20
15. 09. 2019 14:20 CET 		16 (41 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): broken driveshaft
15. 09. 2019 15:18
15. 09. 2019 14:18 CET 		16 (22 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): rolled after flying finish
15. 09. 2019 15:17
15. 09. 2019 14:17 CET 		16 (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): spun
15. 09. 2019 15:16
15. 09. 2019 14:16 CET 		15 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We drive very slowly - that's the plan now and we save tyres for the power stage. We want to take maximum points but it will be difficult because it's rough like this.
15. 09. 2019 15:16
15. 09. 2019 14:16 CET 		15 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The pressure is not coming from the guys behind. This is the roughest rally of the season and you need to be safe - it's not fun at the moment.
15. 09. 2019 15:16
15. 09. 2019 14:16 CET 		15 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): We are driving at an okay pace, but we have much more to give if we need. I just kept it neat and tidy in the lines there and we have very good control.
15. 09. 2019 15:15
15. 09. 2019 14:15 CET 		15 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): The last stage I was struggling with the rhythm a bit but I was just saving the tyres.
15. 09. 2019 15:15
15. 09. 2019 14:15 CET 		15 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I try to manage the gap. It's a nice stage but you are always thinking about if you make a mistake. I don't want to see the face of Adamo if I make a mistake.
15. 09. 2019 15:15
15. 09. 2019 14:15 CET 		15 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): We kept going. I think the fact is that we have no chance to catch Sordo but you never know if they have a puncture or something, it's good to keep the pressure. We discussed with the team; no risks but keep it going with the rally speed and that's what we are targeting.
15. 09. 2019 15:14
15. 09. 2019 14:14 CET 		15 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): The only objective is to finish. We've gone with six tyres - we don't need anything stupid happening with two punctures.
15. 09. 2019 15:14
15. 09. 2019 14:14 CET 		15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I think it should be okay because the temperature will increase a lot and the road will be clean. We saw in the first pass that we only lost time in the first split when the tyres were cold, so we should be fine.
15. 09. 2019 15:14
15. 09. 2019 14:14 CET 		15 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): It's good to follow Ott's lines. The feeling is good so we will keep going like this.
15. 09. 2019 15:13
15. 09. 2019 14:13 CET 		15 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's obviously closer to the weight limit because normally we are quite heavy.
15. 09. 2019 15:12
15. 09. 2019 14:12 CET 		14 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I didn't push enough to really have a feeling. The only time we need to be fast is in the second pass. I don't know if it is possible but I will go for as many points as I can.
15. 09. 2019 15:11
15. 09. 2019 14:11 CET 		14 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Very cautious. We will just be safe.
15. 09. 2019 15:11
15. 09. 2019 14:11 CET 		14 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): It's going in the right direction and I wasn't really pushing that hard, so that's good.
15. 09. 2019 15:10
15. 09. 2019 14:10 CET 		14 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): That's a good question. I am disappointed with that time! I couldn't get the traction and I did one small mistake.
15. 09. 2019 15:10
15. 09. 2019 14:10 CET 		14 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It was a really slippery and slow stage. It's not an easy stage but a short stage and one stage less so it's okay.
15. 09. 2019 15:10
15. 09. 2019 14:10 CET 		14 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It's very important to have a clean day and finish it because we need that manufacturer points - that's the priority number one.
15. 09. 2019 15:09
15. 09. 2019 14:09 CET 		14 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I prefer not to go through water if I can. I won't be having a push in the Power Stage later.
15. 09. 2019 15:09
15. 09. 2019 14:09 CET 		14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I pushed a little bit but I think Tanak has the soft tyre which is obviously good for the first pass. It's going to be very hot this afternoon so we will see.
15. 09. 2019 15:08
15. 09. 2019 14:08 CET 		14 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): It was quite nice. It is good to have some lines to follow at least! We had a warning for a puncture in the stage but it has disappeared, so I don't think we have any punctures.
15. 09. 2019 15:07
15. 09. 2019 14:07 CET 		14 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Gambling what? I guess gambling zero points is not so much to gamble.
14. 09. 2019 16:46
14. 09. 2019 15:46 CET 		13 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I don't mind that we are not leading - I made a small mistake on the previous stage. Even if we were leading tomorrow, the points are very important for Seb so I will try to back him up. There is one day left so fingers crossed we can make it.
14. 09. 2019 16:46
14. 09. 2019 15:46 CET 		13 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It's been a very good day. We had no trouble, a good rhythm. It's quite a big difference compared to three weeks ago - we came here with a positive feeling after having a good test and we knew the car would perform well on gravel.
14. 09. 2019 16:41
14. 09. 2019 15:41 CET 		13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I mean, we are really disappointed with the day. It could have been easily avoided if we kept the four minutes like yesterday. It is what it is - we will carry on driving and hopefully take some power stage points then go home with a smile.
14. 09. 2019 16:37
14. 09. 2019 15:37 CET 		13 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): The stages were quite rough and it looks like the new aerodynamics is working well in fast stages! Let's see, it's not going to be easy to catch ten seconds but we will do our best. Anyway, fourth position wouldn't be bad.
14. 09. 2019 16:37
14. 09. 2019 15:37 CET 		13 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): The performance has been good. We had no tyres on the rear in the last stage so it was hard to drive very fast but it was okay. We have an early day today so I can relax later.
14. 09. 2019 16:33
14. 09. 2019 15:33 CET 		13 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I had zero rubber on the rear and the car just snapped sideways on me and we ended up with a puncture.
14. 09. 2019 16:29
14. 09. 2019 15:29 CET 		13 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): The target was to be in front of the Toyotas. This afternoon we didn't make any mistakes and we managed the tyres in the first stage for the rest of the stages. Tomorrow we will do the same.
14. 09. 2019 16:29
14. 09. 2019 15:29 CET 		13 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): I really enjoyed the day. It was not easy but it was quite fun. This car is so wide so even in the second pass we have to open up the ruts again, but it's good learning.
14. 09. 2019 16:28
14. 09. 2019 15:28 CET 		13 (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): was out of road
14. 09. 2019 15:43
14. 09. 2019 14:43 CET 		12 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): n a steep downhill I stalled the car on the downhill braking and we overshot the hairpin because there power steering.
14. 09. 2019 15:39
14. 09. 2019 14:39 CET 		12 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The previous one was so abrasive and there was a lot of tyre wear. It is so rough in this one that I drove very carefully.
14. 09. 2019 15:38
14. 09. 2019 14:38 CET 		12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I had a good, clean stage. There is a lot of ruts and you need to keep the car in them. We still need to keep going - all it takes is for someone to have a puncture or a small spin and we can be there again.
14. 09. 2019 15:37
14. 09. 2019 14:37 CET 		12 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): Front slipper is damaged. It's cost maybe ten seconds or something - I had quite bad understeer.
14. 09. 2019 15:37
14. 09. 2019 14:37 CET 		12 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I tried to save my tyres a bit for the last stage.
14. 09. 2019 15:37
14. 09. 2019 14:37 CET 		12 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I was a little scared of the tyres. I saw the Toyota tyres before the stage and I knew they were already worse at the back. I think we need to take it a bit carefully on the next stage and try to hold our position.
14. 09. 2019 15:36
14. 09. 2019 14:36 CET 		12 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): They are faster than us this weekend. We need to get stronger in this type of rally but, okay, we have to use what we've got at the moment.
14. 09. 2019 15:36
14. 09. 2019 14:36 CET 		12 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): My tyres are pretty done so I had to back off a bit here. It was a lot rougher than I thought and we need to survive the last stage of the loop. Unfortunately I was too hard on the tyres and I tried too hard on the long one.
14. 09. 2019 15:36
14. 09. 2019 14:36 CET 		12 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): It was still slippery, but it's a very nice stage so I enjoyed it.
14. 09. 2019 14:36
14. 09. 2019 13:36 CET 		11 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It felt quite horrible at the end. Are they just overheated or do I have a slick on the front..? Still, I have two spares so it's fine.
14. 09. 2019 14:36
14. 09. 2019 13:36 CET 		11 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): 2 spares was needed this afternoon because we have 2 slicks on the front.
14. 09. 2019 14:31
14. 09. 2019 13:31 CET 		11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I will drive and see if somebody has a problem and maybe we can catch positions.
14. 09. 2019 14:30
14. 09. 2019 13:30 CET 		11 (23 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): puncture
14. 09. 2019 14:30
14. 09. 2019 13:30 CET 		11 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): I was really doing my best and I tried to push but it wasn't enough. I tried to save the tyres.
14. 09. 2019 14:24
14. 09. 2019 13:24 CET 		11 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I guess the tyres are quite used but we have two new tyres so it should be fine.
14. 09. 2019 14:24
14. 09. 2019 13:24 CET 		11 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): How are they tyres of the others...? I have two new ones.
14. 09. 2019 14:18
14. 09. 2019 13:18 CET 		11 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): The objective is not Jari, it's Dani. I had a good stage and I couldn't have done more to be honest.
14. 09. 2019 14:18
14. 09. 2019 13:18 CET 		11 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It's very very hot - luckily we have two spares so we should be okay.
14. 09. 2019 14:18
14. 09. 2019 13:18 CET 		11 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): It's a bit cleaner now, but a bit more rough. Not too extreme but it is a nice stage - it's hard to find a good pace but also to look after the tyres.
14. 09. 2019 14:15
14. 09. 2019 13:15 CET 		10 retired (47 - Salvi Diogo / Magalhães Hugo): retired in SS 10
14. 09. 2019 14:12
14. 09. 2019 13:12 CET 		10 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's been a trouble-free morning. The pace has been consistent. On the first one I couldn't match Seb at all and he used the tyres very well. For sure, it gives us confidence that we are in a good way on gravel - unfortunately we have a lot of work to do on tarmac - but on gravel it is good. Still, we have a lot of work to do but it is not over yet.
14. 09. 2019 14:12
14. 09. 2019 13:12 CET 		10 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I think the tyres were a bit on the limit but it worked out. There is no reason to take risks but there are still some very rough conditions to go through so it is not over.
14. 09. 2019 14:12
14. 09. 2019 13:12 CET 		10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We have seen so many situations between us three this season for the championship it is crazy. I don't know why we had four-minute gaps yesterday and then today it is three. For sure, things like this will happen and we are lucky that it was a slow corner.
14. 09. 2019 14:12
14. 09. 2019 13:12 CET 		10 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): I don't know what the results are, but it looks like Meeke is pretty fast. We will try to improve for the second loop. Let's keep going and try to find a rhythm with the driving.
14. 09. 2019 14:11
14. 09. 2019 13:11 CET 		10 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): The speed has been good, apart from the stall where I lost five seconds. It has been perfect to be honest. We are feeling great in the car so we're looking forward to this afternoon.
14. 09. 2019 14:11
14. 09. 2019 13:11 CET 		10 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It was difficult. There was a lot of gravel but we took two softs and we couldn't use them here because we damaged one on the last stage.
14. 09. 2019 14:11
14. 09. 2019 13:11 CET 		10 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I had a spin and had to come back on the road. Not a great morning to be honest - no speed and we can't do much more. I don't know what we can do to be honest but we have some work to do, especially on this type of rally.
14. 09. 2019 14:09
14. 09. 2019 13:09 CET 		10 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The grip was slightly better on the middle stage. On the fast stuff the feeling in the car is quite good. In that one I drove like Ari Vatanen. Really aggressive - I don't know if the time was good but at least it was spectacular.
14. 09. 2019 14:09
14. 09. 2019 13:09 CET 		9 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I had better tyres than Seb! It seems Andreas is in good form as well.
14. 09. 2019 14:09
14. 09. 2019 13:09 CET 		9 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It's still a long day. Last year I struggled a lot on this day so let's do it. We count only at the end of tomorrow.
14. 09. 2019 14:08
14. 09. 2019 13:08 CET 		9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I don't know what I can say. We are putting so much effort in but I couldn't do anything - I couldn't see a metre in front of the car.
14. 09. 2019 14:08
14. 09. 2019 13:08 CET 		9 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): That was bad driving from me. It's not so easy to change the rhythm from saving the car to going flat out.
14. 09. 2019 14:08
14. 09. 2019 13:08 CET 		9 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I didn't have a great start to the stage as I made some mistakes at the beginning. It's okay.
14. 09. 2019 14:08
14. 09. 2019 13:08 CET 		9 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It was good. The stage before was so bad with the dust and six tyres. I tried to do a good stage and the time is not so bad, so it's okay.
14. 09. 2019 14:07
14. 09. 2019 13:07 CET 		9 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I tried to soften the car so it was a bit better. It is difficult because the car is not turning and I have to be very aggressive which is not ideal.
14. 09. 2019 14:07
14. 09. 2019 13:07 CET 		9 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): It is fantastic. I really enjoyed it, for sure it is very loose so I think time-wise we will be no where.
14. 09. 2019 14:07
14. 09. 2019 13:07 CET 		9 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Just came here and nothing happens. We cannot fire it up. Something electrical. No indication. Five kilometres ago we stop and start and nothing like this happened. There is no need to control everything now. It is back to the fight now in Wales. Difficult to fight for a championship if we have issues like that.

14. 09. 2019 13:05 CET 		8 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I am fine with that. It's okay - no drama. The bonnet was coming open, I think it was shaking so much that the pin jumped out. Seb has set a crazy time! I am not so good at managing the tyre wear so I can not use mediums.
14. 09. 2019 14:04
14. 09. 2019 13:04 CET 		8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): A very slow left in the dust and I couldn't see the corner. There was a stone that put me off the road so I had to try to come back on.
14. 09. 2019 14:04
14. 09. 2019 13:04 CET 		8 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I tried to save the tyres for the stage and so far the time looks good.
14. 09. 2019 14:04
14. 09. 2019 13:04 CET 		8 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): It felt really slippery and I was really struggling with the tyres. I am not sure if I overheated the tyres but I don't know the time.
14. 09. 2019 14:04
14. 09. 2019 13:04 CET 		8 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): We had a stall as well. It was difficult, there was a lot of dust and I missed a turn because I couldn't see where I was going. We lost five seconds I guess.
14. 09. 2019 14:03
14. 09. 2019 13:03 CET 		8 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): For me it was a really bad stage. There was a lot of dust and the car was moving a lot so I thought I was going to lose over thirty seconds. The time is okay.
14. 09. 2019 14:03
14. 09. 2019 13:03 CET 		8 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): Can you tell me what slippy is?! Tricky stages - lots of dust and we struggled to see in some of the fast sections. It went on forever.
14. 09. 2019 14:02
14. 09. 2019 13:02 CET 		8 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): was out of road
14. 09. 2019 14:02
14. 09. 2019 13:02 CET 		8 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): From this position we have no chance. It's loose and slippery and tricky so not a great feeling.
14. 09. 2019 14:02
14. 09. 2019 13:02 CET 		8 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Not a good feeling. My car is too stiff for conditions like this and I struggled with the braking and the turning. I have set my car up for clean roads so it doesn't work here and the dust is difficult in some places.
14. 09. 2019 14:01
14. 09. 2019 13:01 CET 		8 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): For me it was very loose. I really enjoyed it, it was fun but I think for the time it was not so good - very slippery.
13. 09. 2019 17:46
13. 09. 2019 16:46 CET 		7 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): A very tricky day - a lot to learn for sure. Now we are missing the front lip on the car and you can really feel it.
13. 09. 2019 17:46
13. 09. 2019 16:46 CET 		7 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): That's cool! This was very tricky with the cold hard tyres. It was very slippery but we managed. A very good day with no dramas so far - the car has been strong and since we stiffened up the front it has been nice. 17-seconds is a lot in Finland, but on this rally even one-minute is not a lot. It's good to be in this position but anything can happen.
13. 09. 2019 17:41
13. 09. 2019 16:41 CET 		7 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It was the only stage where you can drive a little bit! We had some problems with the turbo. The stage was nice and the balance of the car was unbelievable - so, so nice. This is interesting - the only target is to take some manufacturer points. If we can stay in front of the Toyotas it will be nice at the end.
13. 09. 2019 17:37
13. 09. 2019 16:37 CET 		7 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): I am pleased - I think there is a lot of jobs for the mechanics and we need to work on the chassis to fix some holes on the car! The car feels nice and we are looking forward to tomorrow.
13. 09. 2019 17:34
13. 09. 2019 16:34 CET 		7 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It's been very very difficult. I didn't expect to have things like that. We lost the bumper and hit a rock then got a puncture. When the rain came, the tyres were not the best and we lost a minute there. I think for the sport, it is very exciting at the moment.
13. 09. 2019 17:32
13. 09. 2019 16:32 CET 		7 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): We did our best and tried to survive with the tyres we had. The rain hit in the last stage but the tyres were so far gone that we couldn't take advantage of the mediums that we had anyway.
13. 09. 2019 17:31
13. 09. 2019 16:31 CET 		7 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): We had loads of problems heading into the long stage - we had no jacking point left so I knew if I had a puncture then we would be out of the rally. We had to back off and we lost a lot of time but I'm glad to be here.
13. 09. 2019 17:31
13. 09. 2019 16:31 CET 		7 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It's better than nothing. We struggled a bit at the end of the day with having no front lip on these fast stages. I am happy to be here - it was very rough and we didn't have too much trouble at least.
13. 09. 2019 17:31
13. 09. 2019 16:31 CET 		7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I did not care about anything - I knew if the rain didn't come that I would lose time but it paid off. Still this morning I am not happy with the car - when we are running first on the road we have no grip.
13. 09. 2019 17:31
13. 09. 2019 16:31 CET 		7 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was crazy. For sure, it is a long way to go but still not the afternoon we were looking for. We will continue.

13. 09. 2019 15:47 CET 		6 flash info (23 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): It's not a good afternoon for us. The car is not working and we have no spare wheels left so we have to just drive through. I really don't enjoy this rally.
13. 09. 2019 16:47
13. 09. 2019 15:47 CET 		6 flash info (22 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): The rain came down and at the end it was like glass. We're at the end and no punctures so I am happy.
13. 09. 2019 16:40
13. 09. 2019 15:40 CET 		6 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): It was quite heavy rain and it was very slippery. I would say it was even more slippery than Wales.
13. 09. 2019 16:33
13. 09. 2019 15:33 CET 		6 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It was raining in the stage - it was very slippery and I don't have a lot of tyres. Honestly, I just tried to finish. I lost a lot of power in the engine and I'm not sure why - maybe the turbo isn't working.
13. 09. 2019 16:33
13. 09. 2019 15:33 CET 		6 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): Really bad. We lost a lot of time and it started to rain quite a lot. All the tyres were more or less slicks so it is worrying how much time we lost.
13. 09. 2019 16:27
13. 09. 2019 15:27 CET 		6 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): We had hard tyres and we lost the front. The front tyre was worn out so when the rain was here at the end I had no chance - it was impossible to drive fast. Very disappointing.
13. 09. 2019 16:24
13. 09. 2019 15:24 CET 		6 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): It was like ice and we had no tyres left - the wrong tyre choice as well. I tried my best not to get punctures and we managed, but it was sliding around like we were on ice.
13. 09. 2019 16:21
13. 09. 2019 15:21 CET 		6 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I had no grip. I started the stage with little rubber and my only objective was to finish. The rain came and it was like driving on ice.
13. 09. 2019 16:17
13. 09. 2019 15:17 CET 		6 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The end was difficult because it started to rain and it was very slippery. We lost a bit to Thierry but we have the medium tyres for the next one.
13. 09. 2019 16:13
13. 09. 2019 15:13 CET 		6 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): puncture

13. 09. 2019 15:05
13. 09. 2019 14:05 CET 		5 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): We had a warning for a puncture at the beginning of the stage but we kept going and I don't think we did have one. It's tricky but we will keep going.
13. 09. 2019 15:02
13. 09. 2019 14:02 CET 		5 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I have never seen this kind of stage. I had probably 15 huge hits on the car. I don't know if I have punctures because my display is not showing any pressures but, okay, we are here.
13. 09. 2019 15:01
13. 09. 2019 14:01 CET 		5 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It's unbelievable - really really rough. I just drove slowly as you can see. It's very easy to puncture and we need to save the tyres for the longer stage.
13. 09. 2019 14:57
13. 09. 2019 13:57 CET 		5 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): It felt good, but that is incredibly rough. We can not compare the times right now, we need to wait for the whole loop.
13. 09. 2019 14:57
13. 09. 2019 13:57 CET 		5 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): First we had a problem with the boot - I don't know if it was open or not because there was so much noise in the car so I struggled to hear the notes, then we hit a rock.
13. 09. 2019 14:50
13. 09. 2019 13:50 CET 		5 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): No drama - it's very rough and I am trying to find what I believe is the right thing to do and to take care of the tyres as well.
13. 09. 2019 14:50
13. 09. 2019 13:50 CET 		5 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I was stopped for five or six seconds at a hairpin.

13. 09. 2019 13:44 CET 		5 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We just have to hope that the rain is coming. We have the tyres if it rains.
13. 09. 2019 14:41
13. 09. 2019 13:41 CET 		5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The conditions are completely different and the car is behaving much better. I don't know what tyres the other drivers have so we will have to see - there might be a surprise with the weather.
13. 09. 2019 14:41
13. 09. 2019 13:41 CET 		5 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): A lot of loose rocks - generally it's not so rough but it's not nice.

13. 09. 2019 12:56
13. 09. 2019 11:56 CET 		4 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): We have stayed out of trouble and had no dramas - the car is working well. In this one I was a little bit too safe.
13. 09. 2019 12:56
13. 09. 2019 11:56 CET 		4 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It's a hard rally. A start like this is difficult, we are already at the back. We need to do the best that we can so let's see.
13. 09. 2019 12:56
13. 09. 2019 11:56 CET 		4 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): It's been okay. It is so difficult to say because we can't be on the limit. We have been moving forward and we will try to stay away from any problems.
13. 09. 2019 12:55
13. 09. 2019 11:55 CET 		4 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I was quite angry with myself at losing so much time on the long one but at least it saved our tyres to have a push in here.
13. 09. 2019 12:55
13. 09. 2019 11:55 CET 		4 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I was on full hards but I should have used mediums in there definitely. It was a good stage, just no traction.
13. 09. 2019 12:55
13. 09. 2019 11:55 CET 		4 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I drove a good rhythm - bit surprised with the time. The afternoon is going to be tricky.
13. 09. 2019 12:55
13. 09. 2019 11:55 CET 		4 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I think for sure it was not ideal because it compromised the strategy with the tyres. We only dropped four or five seconds but after that the loop was okay.
13. 09. 2019 12:54
13. 09. 2019 11:54 CET 		4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): My car is not working to be honest. In this cleaning position I have no grip and no traction. A very bad morning for us - we tried hard in the car but the times are not coming.
13. 09. 2019 12:54
13. 09. 2019 11:54 CET 		4 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's been difficult. This one was quite loose but it was smooth and a nice road. I think the tyre choice was good - no drama and the wear is fine.

13. 09. 2019 11:53 CET 		3 flash info (22 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): Puncture about 15km in. I was driving clean but it was just one of those things. I think there will be more punctures to come.
13. 09. 2019 12:53
13. 09. 2019 11:53 CET 		3 flash info (21 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We changed one puncture at the front - I have no idea where I got it. I slowed down the pace because we had no spare tyres but there was a big rock that we hit. I think it is over for us today because we don't have any spare tyres left.
13. 09. 2019 12:53

13. 09. 2019 12:51
13. 09. 2019 11:51 CET 		3 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): I believe the stage is cleaning a lot. I tried to stay away from trouble as there is a lot of rocks.
13. 09. 2019 12:50
13. 09. 2019 11:50 CET 		3 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I had to change my line a lot of times and drive around some big footballs in the stage. I picked my rhythm, we could have been a lot faster but we are doing okay. It wasn't as bad as I was first expecting to be fair, but the second pass will be a nightmare.
13. 09. 2019 12:50
13. 09. 2019 11:50 CET 		3 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): All the time I give everything. In the first stage we had a puncture so you couldn't see the time! That's good, but the rally is very long.
13. 09. 2019 12:50
13. 09. 2019 11:50 CET 		3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I am sliding. I can't do more - if I push I lose the rear. I don't know if the tyres are too soft or if this is better. Maybe the second spare wheel is the disadvantage.
13. 09. 2019 12:49

13. 09. 2019 12:46
13. 09. 2019 11:46 CET 		2 flash info (21 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): There is no problem with the car - we had a puncture and we were going to change it on the next straight. I lost concentration and we rolled the car.

13. 09. 2019 11:46 CET 		2 flash info (22 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): It's pretty good but rougher than I expected. Because the gaps were so big I actually got to see Ott and Thierry on the stage. My brain is working today, that's for sure.

13. 09. 2019 11:43 CET 		2 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It felt quite bad to be honest. Even though I drove badly, the time will be better because it is cleaning. It's too soft - I can't trust the front so we need to make the car a bit stiffer and then it will be fine.
13. 09. 2019 12:43
13. 09. 2019 11:43 CET 		2 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): Puncture. It happened 14 km before the end. It was nice at the beginning and then I started to feel understeer and saw the pressure light on the dash. I am so disappointed - I didn't do anything
13. 09. 2019 12:43
13. 09. 2019 11:43 CET 		2 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): I spun in the middle of the stage. It was a slow corner. It's incredibly rough and there is a lot of smoke inside the car so it will be a difficult day.

13. 09. 2019 11:43 CET 		2 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I didn't expect that - I am actually surprised to have such a good time as the surface is broken up and there is a lot of rocks.

13. 09. 2019 11:42 CET 		2 (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): puncture

13. 09. 2019 11:41 CET 		2 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): The stage is cleaning so it will get faster and faster. Anyway, a clean stage for us and we are trying to enjoy driving. It's still very dusty, but the car is really awesome so it's nice to drive.

13. 09. 2019 11:41 CET 		2 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I had a puncture warning light with 15km to go. When it's that slippery, you never know so it disturbed me a bit. The pressure is reading okay now so I hope it's not a puncture.

13. 09. 2019 11:41 CET 		2 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): When you drive with a flat tyre that is not helping. We are missing a lot of luck at the moment. It happened 6km from the end.

13. 09. 2019 11:40 CET 		2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Ott is on 3 medium and we are only on 2 medium - we have all hards for the next stage so hopefully it will pay off. It was quite slippery but hopefully we will have the better tyres for the next stage.

13. 09. 2019 11:40 CET 		2 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's difficult - it's slow and there is no grip. In the beginning the rhythm was not great but it was better in the middle so we did what we could.

12. 09. 2019 19:52 CET 		1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We will see tomorrow. If you have four events to go, you never know. We have to take what we can from every event.

12. 09. 2019 19:52 CET 		1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I am on a combination of hard and soft and some of the drivers had really scrubbed their tyres. I was expecting to lose time but I pushed really hard and had a good stage.

12. 09. 2019 19:43 CET 		1 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): At least I had a much better start in this stage than last year! It's a huge day tomorrow - part of the rally with the roughest conditions. We need to have a rhythm but the pressure is like normal - we just have to do a good job.
12. 09. 2019 20:40
12. 09. 2019 19:40 CET 		1 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): We will just try and find a rhythm that works without hurting the car but let's see. They're going to be a long and hard 316 kilometres.
12. 09. 2019 20:40
12. 09. 2019 19:40 CET 		1 flash info (89 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): It was not a great stage by me but it was okay. The rally can be lost here as well! We have a long day tomorrow and that is where the proper action starts.

12. 09. 2019 19:40 CET 		1 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I think there are stages you can enjoy but there are stages where you have to be patient. You have to understand where to back off and where to attack.
12. 09. 2019 20:30
12. 09. 2019 19:30 CET 		1 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): Of course we will try. It's a lottery here because it is so rough and difficult to manage the car but we are trying our best.
12. 09. 2019 20:30
12. 09. 2019 19:30 CET 		1 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I think we have a big rally ahead. I will try to do my best - it is not all about the speed. We will see.
12. 09. 2019 20:25
12. 09. 2019 19:25 CET 		1 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I think everyone is hoping that nothing will happen to them! It is going to be a very hot weekend.
12. 09. 2019 20:23
12. 09. 2019 19:23 CET 		1 flash info (7 - Tidemand Pontus / Fløene Ola): For me it is to get the experience and get through the rally. It will be tricky but we will try to do a solid, good job.
12. 09. 2019 20:19
12. 09. 2019 19:19 CET 		1 flash info (21 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I don't know about our time but it felt okay. We will try to survive tomorrow - it's a long day. It was a fun stage but tomorrow will be more difficult.
12. 09. 2019 20:14
12. 09. 2019 19:14 CET 		1 flash info (22 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): It's only a short stage. You can always lose a lot in here but not gain much. The real battle starts tomorrow and that's what we worked on this morning - we look good.
12. 09. 2019 20:13
12. 09. 2019 19:13 CET 		1 flash info (23 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): There are huge crowds of spectators - thanks to them for coming! I think it will be a big challenge for everyone to get to the finish.
