Date and time SS Information
31. 03. 2019 14:22 CET 14 retired (62 - Giannini Eric / Marquez Stéphane): retired in SS 14
31. 03. 2019 13:41 CET 14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's difficult to accept but okay, it happens. A similar thing maybe happened to Ott yesterday. It's the nature of the sport. I think it happened on a straight piece of road in the middle, a hole of piece or stone that had lifted. I felt it straightaway. Very unexpected. I tried to drive on it to see if we could minimise the time loss but it started to delaminate 6km before the end. At least we have the podium but it's not what I wanted.
31. 03. 2019 13:23 CET 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I'm really disappointed for Elfyn, who did a really good job, but I think we deserved it as well. We were pushing all the time. Never give up!
31. 03. 2019 13:13 CET 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): No way. I pushed like hell in the stage - my time was terrible. Okay, a positive weekend for us. We improved the car on tarmac. I have to thank the team we make some progress - now we need to make more.
31. 03. 2019 13:12 CET 14 (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): puncture
31. 03. 2019 13:09 CET 14 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Not easy. I just wanted to finish. I knew I had no chance to do anything in the Power Stage so I didn't risk anything.
31. 03. 2019 13:09 CET 14 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): The target was manufacturers' points. We were not so fast in some stages, so couldn't fight for the podium. Anyway, if we can finish like this it's interesting for the championship.
31. 03. 2019 13:01 CET 14 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): I'm really happy for the pace. Still some work to do in the dirty corners but in the end a great result for me.
31. 03. 2019 12:57 CET 14 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): In the end let's say it's disappointing, but now at the rally I didn't enjoy at all a couple of years ago we are on the pace. We've collected some points. The fight goes on.
31. 03. 2019 12:57 CET 14 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It was a very difficult weekend. We tried to make it as good as we could. A bit frustrating. We need to be better next time.
31. 03. 2019 12:49 CET 14 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): A clean stage, no mistakes. I'm not looking for points - just trying to finish.
31. 03. 2019 12:44 CET 14 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I had a good run but Jari is not my target - there are a lot of quick guys behind. I gave it a go. I couldn't have done much more.
31. 03. 2019 12:43 CET 14 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): You can make a good time here if you are taking risks and committed. If I can get one or two points I will be happy. It was okay but I am missing something - like I was all weekend. I now need to get a completely new energy for Argentina.
31. 03. 2019 12:39 CET 14 flash info (22 - Pieniążek Łukasz / Heller Kamil): We got safely through. We are happy to collect points. We try to improve on the next one.
31. 03. 2019 12:39 CET 14 flash info (28 - Gryazin Nikolay / Fedorov Yaroslav): I'm really pleased because it was difficult here with overheated tyres and brakes. Now we wait for Andolfi. We'll see. But for sure we are at the finish of this challenge so it's a big celebration.
31. 03. 2019 12:17 CET 14 Starting order: Gryazin, Pieniazek, Latvala, Meeke, Loeb, Lappi, Tänak, Suninen, Sordo, Ogier, Neuville, Evans
31. 03. 2019 12:05 CET 13 retired (110 - Mari Alain / Cesari Jean-Dominique): retired in SS 13
31. 03. 2019 11:12 CET 13 retired (98 - Bensimon Claude / Barbe Isabelle): retired before SS 13
31. 03. 2019 10:46 CET 13 retired (23 - Veiby Ole Christian / Andersson Jonas): broken wheel in SS 13
31. 03. 2019 10:45 CET 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The car feels okay, but it's moving a lot. I couldn't go any faster.
31. 03. 2019 10:44 CET 13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We had a good stage. I was pushing. Not perfect everywhere but it was okay.
31. 03. 2019 10:44 CET 13 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Once again I have a different set-up and hopefully now I know what to do for the Power Stage. You can count on me to try.
31. 03. 2019 10:44 CET 13 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I have a brake problem from the middle of the stage. From there I drive slow.
31. 03. 2019 10:43 CET 13 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): It was a good run for us. I have had a monkey on my shoulder, telling me to calm down and relax and bring the car home. Now I have given him a banana, he's a nice guy and he's letting me drive.
31. 03. 2019 10:43 CET 13 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): A good stage, a very fast one. Not perfect notes but we did all we could.
31. 03. 2019 10:43 CET 13 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Just coming safely through, to be honest. Manufacturer points are the target. I would like Power Stage points but I'm not so confident.
31. 03. 2019 10:42 CET 13 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): We didn't try to push. Just go through the stage and wait to see what happens. In our position there is nothing more to play for.
31. 03. 2019 10:42 CET 13 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): Not a habit I want to get into on Sunday morning. Let's see what we can do, hopefully collect a couple of points in he power stage.
31. 03. 2019 10:42 CET 13 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Beautiful conditions. A very beautiful stage. We took it relaxed because the Power Stage is now more important.
31. 03. 2019 09:46 CET 13 Stage will be delayed for 10 minutes.
30. 03. 2019 19:07 CET 12 Stage is cancelled.
30. 03. 2019 18:43 CET 12 retired (32 - Camilli Eric / Buresi François-Xavier): fire in SS 12
30. 03. 2019 18:19 CET 12 retired (22 - Pieniążek Łukasz / Heller Kamil): accident in SS 12
30. 03. 2019 18:17 CET 12 Stage interrupted because of fire of st.no.32.
30. 03. 2019 18:17 CET 12 (32 - Camilli Eric / Buresi François-Xavier): car in fire
30. 03. 2019 18:16 CET 12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): No idea. It felt like a good stage. No idea. All to play for but that's disappointing.
30. 03. 2019 18:16 CET 12 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I still need some points.
30. 03. 2019 18:16 CET 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I tried. Obviously we have a mission not to make a mistake but I had a good feeling with the car. We raised it a bit since this morning and the handling was nicer so I was able to attack.
30. 03. 2019 18:16 CET 12 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): Nothing wrong, the other drivers are just faster on the second pass, Ogier was really fast. It's like this.
30. 03. 2019 18:15 CET 12 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): We lost some time. I think the reason is all clear for me.
30. 03. 2019 18:15 CET 12 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I had an engine problem, no anti-lag for two or three kms. No anti-lag, then it came back suddenly and I nearly went off because I didn't expect to have the power.
30. 03. 2019 18:15 CET 12 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): That's quite an okay time. We were not really pushing. We are here without any dramas. it is good to be here and now we have some nice stages tomorrow.
30. 03. 2019 18:14 CET 12 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): It was a bit better. We adjusted the diffs and the feeling was quite correct. A good stage.
30. 03. 2019 18:14 CET 12 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I know that the car has potential, it's just the driver. I need to go to sleep and think about the driving more.
30. 03. 2019 18:14 CET 12 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I enjoyed driving this afternoon. A much stiffer setup seems to work better.
30. 03. 2019 18:43 CET 11 retired (105 - Picchioni Florian / Bellavarde Mélodie): retired in SS 11
30. 03. 2019 17:06 CET 11 flash info (35 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): The morning was really good but now in this stage we lost power steering a few seconds 5km ago and also before the finish. Let's see about the next stage but 47km without power steering is not possible in Corsica on tarmac.
30. 03. 2019 17:06 CET 11 flash info (32 - Camilli Eric / Buresi François-Xavier): I will try, but the target is tomorrow. It's not going badly.
30. 03. 2019 17:06 CET 11 flash info (22 - Pieniążek Łukasz / Heller Kamil): Happened somewhere near the middle. Now we change the wheel and continue.
30. 03. 2019 17:06 CET 11 (22 - Pieniążek Łukasz / Heller Kamil): puncture
30. 03. 2019 17:05 CET 11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): That's unlucky for him. Our pace wasn't that great by the look of it anyway. It felt okay, I pushed quite hard but didn't find the rhythm in places. It's a shame for Ott. We still have to fight, there's not such a gap behind. Let's see.
30. 03. 2019 17:05 CET 11 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Puncture. Very strange. Okay.
30. 03. 2019 17:04 CET 11 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): puncture
30. 03. 2019 17:04 CET 11 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): So fast! I tried to do my best. Really high speed in some places. With the Toyotas its a little bit more difficult but we enjoy it.
30. 03. 2019 17:04 CET 11 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): A good drive. Of course some places I could do better but it's my first time here in this car. It's okay.
30. 03. 2019 17:03 CET 11 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The feeling is better but the times are not good. I cannot say it's a big improvement.
30. 03. 2019 17:03 CET 11 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): We are still far away. I am trying my best, for sure. It's frustrating when whatever you do you can't find the speed.
30. 03. 2019 17:03 CET 11 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): A bit better I think, but still understeering. We tried to adjust the diff mapping. It's not perfect, but it's okay.
30. 03. 2019 17:03 CET 11 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I haven't been driving very well in this rally. I tried to push more and cut in. My mistake.
30. 03. 2019 17:02 CET 11 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): It felt good. I changed the damper set-up, running the car a bit stiffer. I thought it was good but the time seems slow, we'll see.
30. 03. 2019 17:02 CET 11 (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): puncture
30. 03. 2019 18:43 CET 10 retired (84 - Fraymouth Francois / Felicelli Romain): retired after SS 10
30. 03. 2019 18:42 CET 10 retired (65 - Schram Dirk / Moncada Antonello): retired in SS 10
30. 03. 2019 18:37 CET 10 retired (48 - Argenti Thomas / Gordon Fabrice): retired in SS 10
30. 03. 2019 15:22 CET 10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): A good run. No dramas. Trying to be as smooth as possible but still pushing.
30. 03. 2019 15:21 CET 10 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I had a good run, all clean. Still a long way to go. This is not the last stage yet.
30. 03. 2019 15:21 CET 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was a good stage. A really good one.
30. 03. 2019 15:21 CET 10 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): The car is okay, but it was a bit difficult in the forest with this light. Difficult to see the corners in the sunlight through the trees.
30. 03. 2019 15:08 CET 10 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): It was okay. A bit happier with the car. Thinking about how to save the tyres and get the fastest times.
30. 03. 2019 15:08 CET 10 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): A little bit better. We're making changes every service The feeling is getting better, at least in the right direction.
30. 03. 2019 15:03 CET 10 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): No difference. I'm on my maximum, for sure.
30. 03. 2019 15:03 CET 10 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): We have a lot of understeer now. It is very difficult to drive the car. I lost six seconds compared to the morning. We will try and change something in the set-up but it's really not good.
30. 03. 2019 15:03 CET 10 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Kris was driving really well. It's an interesting stage, it was okay for us.
30. 03. 2019 15:02 CET 10 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): Better grip than earlier with more rubber on the road and higher temperatures. A good run.
30. 03. 2019 12:51 CET 9 Stage was interrupted because of crash st.no.47.
30. 03. 2019 12:43 CET 9 retired (34 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): retired in SS 9
30. 03. 2019 12:42 CET 9 retired (56 - Nannucci Pierre-Marc / Ottobrini Thomas): retired in SS 9
30. 03. 2019 12:42 CET 9 retired (47 - Nucita Andrea / Princiotto Giuseppe): retired in SS 9
30. 03. 2019 12:42 CET 9 retired (27 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): retired in SS 9
30. 03. 2019 11:15 CET 9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I didn't start the best. I touched something on the rear after a dirty cut early on and it altered the handling ever so slightly. No big deal but it didn't help. We pushed hard. Very difficult to read the grip. We did what we could.
30. 03. 2019 11:14 CET 9 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): This was a tricky stage and a new stage. I'm sure nobody is going on the limit but I had a good rhythm and my notes were quite okay so no worries.
30. 03. 2019 11:13 CET 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Not the stage I was looking for, and I don't know why to be honest. It was very tricky and there was a lot of gravel. Maybe I took it too careful.
30. 03. 2019 11:13 CET 9 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): Good, but I'm surprised when I do a good time and also when I do a bad time. It'd hard to know how to drive. It's weird. Some places we are not on the limit and it is better. Anyway, we are happy with our time - that's the most important thing.
30. 03. 2019 11:12 CET 9 retired (21 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): accident in SS 9
30. 03. 2019 11:12 CET 9 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): It was an okay stage for us. Not a good rhythm, and too careful in cutting places. I was a bit too calm.
30. 03. 2019 11:12 CET 9 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I don't know how the guys behind will do but honestly I don't understand the time. My driving is not different to normal but the pace is not there. We need to find something.
30. 03. 2019 11:11 CET 9 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): t's not possible to enjoy this stage. This was the most horrible so far.
30. 03. 2019 11:11 CET 9 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): I understeered in a tightening corner. I couldn't turn, went into a ditch and lost time turning around. The car is okay.
30. 03. 2019 11:11 CET 9 (32 - Camilli Eric / Buresi François-Xavier): stopped in stage
30. 03. 2019 11:10 CET 9 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Quite okay. Different surfaces and surprisingly slippery, with gravel at the end. Generally okay.
30. 03. 2019 11:10 CET 9 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): Incredibly slippery surface in places, some damp sections caught me by surprise. A huge challenge. The set up with the dampers wasn't perfect, the car is rolling about.
30. 03. 2019 11:10 CET 9 (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): was out of road
30. 03. 2019 12:41 CET 8 retired (64 - Kemp Pierre / Kemp Jean-Marc): retired in SS 8
30. 03. 2019 11:09 CET 8 retired (24 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): out of fuel in SS 8
30. 03. 2019 10:06 CET 8 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not the perfect run, but not that bad either. You can really harm you tyres here, so we were neat and tidy, let's see.
30. 03. 2019 10:06 CET 8 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We need to be on the limit, we need to push. There is no holding back. I'm enjoying the fight. The car is really good.
30. 03. 2019 10:05 CET 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was okay but a little bit of understeer. I enjoyed this stage, it's the first time we enjoyed this one - last year it was a disaster.
30. 03. 2019 10:05 CET 8 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): Not a bad time. I'm trying to be clean. It's more like a circuit road here and the car was good. The speed you can carry in the corners is unbelievable.
30. 03. 2019 10:05 CET 8 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): We were able to change something with the... It's better now.
30. 03. 2019 10:04 CET 8 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We have done some changes since yesterday but obviously we are not really getting faster.
30. 03. 2019 10:04 CET 8 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It felt even more horrible than the first one. The time is a surprise, or the first runners have been bad as well, i don't know. It was not good at all. I don't have enough grip at the front. I could go much faster but I can't trust. That's it. We have tried many, many things here but we just don't find a solution.
30. 03. 2019 10:04 CET 8 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): This is a very fast and wide stage. The feeling is okay, but maybe not so good in this type of stage. Not our favourite place with this car but it's okay, not so bad.
30. 03. 2019 10:04 CET 8 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I knew I would lose time. I had a good rhythm but I did this stage only once last year before I crashed and still my notes were not precise enough. I was braking far too much in the corners.
30. 03. 2019 10:03 CET 8 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): This one is like a race circuit, a different character to the rest. I wasn't so good here last year so I made some subtle changes. I'm just exploring today.
30. 03. 2019 10:07 CET 7 retired (103 - Zanotto Williams / Buccino Christian): retired in SS 7
30. 03. 2019 10:06 CET 7 retired (58 - Agostini Thierry / Agostini David): retired before SS 7
30. 03. 2019 10:03 CET 7 (46 - Nešetřil Petr / Černoch Jiří): puncture
30. 03. 2019 10:02 CET 7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): A good run but there were a few hesitations in a few areas - not as good as it could have been.
30. 03. 2019 10:02 CET 7 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's a good battle. I think it will be tight today so we need to do well.
30. 03. 2019 10:02 CET 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Towards the end I struggled a bit, sliding too much and a bit too careful on the brakes. The car feels good, a bit of movement but it gives us the grip we need.
30. 03. 2019 10:01 CET 7 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): The feeling in the car is good but the time is not so nice. Not fast enough in some places but it's hard to understand why.
30. 03. 2019 10:01 CET 7 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): A terrible stage for us. We need to try and fix things.
30. 03. 2019 10:01 CET 7 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We made a lot of changes, and in that way it's a bit better but the speed is not there yet.
30. 03. 2019 10:01 CET 7 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Quite similar. Maybe slightly better but not enough, for sure.
30. 03. 2019 10:00 CET 7 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): At the moment things are working well. I tried to push. We adjusted the set-up yesterday and I am feeling well with the car. I'm trying to be awake in the morning - we did a good stage.
30. 03. 2019 10:00 CET 7 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Nothing special. I crashed on this stage last year so I didn't do the second part properly and my pace notes needed a bit of fine tuning.
30. 03. 2019 10:00 CET 7 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I was annoyed with myself yesterday, I made a mistake in the recce which caused the problem. I have to improve. I have to dig deeper and deeper if I want to challenge for a championship. I'll learn.
30. 03. 2019 10:00 CET 7 The currently temperature of 11°C is forecast to rise to 16°C this afternoon. No rain expected.
29. 03. 2019 18:56 CET 6 retired (79 - Torn Ken / Pannas Kauri): retired after SS 6
29. 03. 2019 18:55 CET 6 retired (105 - Picchioni Florian / Bellavarde Mélodie): retired in SS 6
29. 03. 2019 18:55 CET 6 retired (67 - Bérard David / Lager Frédéric): retired in SS 6
29. 03. 2019 18:54 CET 6 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): A good day for us and we're at a good level. We had an intercom problem on the last stage, which didn't alter the driving but it affected my confidence.
29. 03. 2019 18:53 CET 6 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I try to do my best. This morning I didn't understand the times because I was driving normal. Now I'm trying and it's difficult, the speed is not there.
29. 03. 2019 18:53 CET 6 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): A disappointing day. I was expecting a bit more. One bad driving stage, and then the puncture. That one stage Valinco has been causing problems for us, otherwise not so bad.
29. 03. 2019 18:53 CET 6 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): It's going better and better but for sure we lost a lot in the morning. Now I am quite confident in the car.
29. 03. 2019 18:52 CET 6 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I've tried to do my best all day but the pace is not there. We are too slow all the time. It's very frustrating, but that's how it is.
29. 03. 2019 18:52 CET 6 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I had a conversation with [co-driver] Seb in stage and he said hopefully Elfyn would have a three-minute gap. It doesn't look like the organisers gave it. I wasn't expecting him to come. I've sorry for Elfyn.
29. 03. 2019 18:51 CET 6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I know Kris well, he wouldn't do that intentionally. I hope it gets resolved in the way it should.
29. 03. 2019 18:50 CET 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was okay. I felt good in the car but I'm missing a bit of grip to go faster. Some corners I hesitate a bit. A big attack, for sure. I would like to go faster.
29. 03. 2019 18:50 CET 6 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I have to find a solution to make this car turning. The car is not turning and it has been a very difficult day.
29. 03. 2019 18:50 CET 6 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): A very consistent day. For the second loop we had to be a bit careful - we had a damper issue at the front. But in the end it didn't change the behaviour too much.
29. 03. 2019 18:55 CET 5 retired (94 - Padovani Anthony / Padovani René): retired in SS 5
29. 03. 2019 16:00 CET 5 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): I was not really pushing on this one. Trying to keep similar good pace as before and maybe improve a bit.
29. 03. 2019 16:00 CET 5 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): After 2km we got a slow puncture. There was gravel at the start and perhaps we got a sharp stone in the tread. Nothing special, just one of those unfortunate things.
29. 03. 2019 15:59 CET 5 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): The feeling is okay, but it's not fast. I can't tell you why. I'm driving as fast as I can.
29. 03. 2019 15:59 CET 5 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): No problem. It was okay. No mistakes. I tried to push. The feeling with the car is okay.
29. 03. 2019 15:59 CET 5 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I'm on my limit and that's it. We are crazy slow.
29. 03. 2019 15:59 CET 5 (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): puncture
29. 03. 2019 15:58 CET 5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): A much, much better run. Everything is working really well.
29. 03. 2019 15:58 CET 5 (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): damaged suspension
29. 03. 2019 15:58 CET 5 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): This car cannot be any faster at the moment. There is a lot of understeer and no way to be better. I'm not even sure we can do anything in service.
29. 03. 2019 15:57 CET 5 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): A clean run, not pushing to the limit yet but going at a good rhythm.
29. 03. 2019 18:54 CET 4 retired (85 - Franceschi Mathieu / Lazzarini Jean-Paul): retired after SS 4
29. 03. 2019 16:09 CET 4 retired (25 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): retired in SS 4
29. 03. 2019 15:57 CET 4 flash info (21 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's still not so good. My driving was better but I'm still struggling with understeer. We need to find an answer for tomorrow. With more experience it's getting better all the time.
29. 03. 2019 15:57 CET 4 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): The feeling with the car is good. I should push but at the same time I should drive carefully and finish the rally.
29. 03. 2019 15:56 CET 4 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I tried to drive it like before. It went well but I think the others his morning were a bit slow.
29. 03. 2019 15:56 CET 4 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): My notes have not been good but this was okay. Getting better.
29. 03. 2019 15:56 CET 4 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): No mistakes, it was okay. The stage is quite clean.
29. 03. 2019 15:56 CET 4 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Too slow. I did a good stage but I guess the R5s will be faster.
29. 03. 2019 15:55 CET 4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): A pretty good run. Neat and tidy but still fairly on it.
29. 03. 2019 15:55 CET 4 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): What happened earlier has gone. I'm focused now on my driving. The car feels good. The gap is big but I'll nibble away.
29. 03. 2019 15:55 CET 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Looks like I didn't have the feeling. We're going to see in the next stage.
29. 03. 2019 15:54 CET 4 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Better than this morning but still not fantastic.
29. 03. 2019 15:54 CET 4 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Quite a bit more gravel in places now but generally still nice. I'm quite happy.

29. 03. 2019 11:04 CET 3 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): A pretty okay morning. Difficult to manage the driving. An okay time here. I could go faster but only with higher risk.
29. 03. 2019 11:04 CET 3 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I didn't have a really good time now. I have a good feeling in the car but the road is very dirty with gravel.
29. 03. 2019 11:03 CET 3 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The pace notes are not good enough, they are too slow and I'm not driving fast enough. I tried to use notes from 2015 and you can see how they worked. Incredible.
29. 03. 2019 11:02 CET 3 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): The car felt okay. The feeling is quite good now. Okay, we've lost a lot of time but we are still here driving.
29. 03. 2019 11:02 CET 3 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I spun on a hairpin. The feeling is actually okay in the car but not perfect from me. Now it's getting a bit better but yeah, the first time for me to make such a tight hairpin and I couldn't get it.
29. 03. 2019 11:02 CET 3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): A good clean run, nice and tidy. All okay." Has your pace surprised you? "You're going to make me sound cocky now, aren't you.
29. 03. 2019 11:01 CET 3 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): We have a job to do to try and get back as much time as possible.
29. 03. 2019 11:01 CET 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The feeling is a little bit better but my pace notes are sometimes too slow sometimes too fast. I don't want to take risks.
29. 03. 2019 11:01 CET 3 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Not the start we were hoping for. I have been struggling a lot with the car this morning. We made some changes and now it feels better.
29. 03. 2019 11:01 CET 3 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Not a very good morning but consistent. No issues but I believe my rhythm can improve. Generally the car is working well, I just need to understand these new stages. Generally I'm quite happy.

29. 03. 2019 10:06 CET 2 flash info (22 - Pieniążek Łukasz / Heller Kamil): This one was quite okay, we managed to fix the car on the road section. I'm not so happy with my notes - too slow for these conditions.
29. 03. 2019 10:02 CET 2 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I don't understand. I felt pretty good but the time is not. Very, very strange. I didn't expect to be that slow. Perhaps the notes were too cautious.
29. 03. 2019 09:55 CET 2 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): The car is okay after we tried to repair, but the mistake in the first stage means that's it now. We are far away.
29. 03. 2019 09:54 CET 2 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It felt a little bit better but the time is really bad. I have no chance to go any faster. It's not looking so good.
29. 03. 2019 09:54 CET 2 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I think I make a mistake on the recce - I had 'keep in' in my notes, I hit something and punctured immediately. We'll try our best to fight back.
29. 03. 2019 09:54 CET 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The profile of this stage was different to the first I could feel the limit of the car but I struggled with the front.
29. 03. 2019 10:59 CET 1 retired (92 - Murati Jean-Marie / Guintini Pierre): retired in SS 1
29. 03. 2019 10:58 CET 1 retired (43 - Simonetti Robert / Simonetti Celia): retired before SS 1
29. 03. 2019 09:17 CET 1 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): We broke one of the suspension arms at the rear, we slid wide and hit a stone. Not a big impact but it was too much. We had the spare parts to repair so it should be okay to continue.
29. 03. 2019 09:04 CET 1 (22 - Pieniążek Łukasz / Heller Kamil): damaged wheel
29. 03. 2019 09:04 CET 1 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): Not a great feeling. Struggling to carry the speed through some sections.
29. 03. 2019 09:04 CET 1 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I didn't get held up by Seb - but I was disturbed by the the tyre marks I saw in the road.
29. 03. 2019 09:03 CET 1 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): I slid wide into a corner and kit a kerb. It broke the suspension I think.
29. 03. 2019 09:03 CET 1 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The feeling is quite okay, but I'm not fully happy. We will try to adjust something. It's not crazy bad but it can be better and we can get better times.
29. 03. 2019 08:58 CET 1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was good. Not perfect but good.
29. 03. 2019 08:55 CET 1 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I don't know how it happened, something caught me in the corner, completely unseen.
29. 03. 2019 08:54 CET 1 (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): stopped in stage, continue
29. 03. 2019 08:54 CET 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I'm surprised. I don't like the car's behaviour. I am pretty much on the edge and not 100 per cent comfortable.
29. 03. 2019 08:53 CET 1 (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): puncture
29. 03. 2019 08:53 CET 1 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I spun in a hairpin and struggled to find reverse. I think the car is okay, there shouldn't be much damage.
29. 03. 2019 08:52 CET 1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Car is not so bad. A new stage, we made new notes and they were too slow in places. We came across some cows in the road.
29. 03. 2019 08:51 CET 1 (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): spun
29. 03. 2019 06:57 CET 1 retired (50 - Giorgi Fabrice / Marchini Jean-Paul): didnt allowed to start rally
