16. 02. 2020 12:48 CET 18 (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): stalled engine in one corner
16. 02. 2020 12:44 CET 18 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): stalled engine in one corner
16. 02. 2020 12:16 CET 18 It is raining, temperature is around 6°C, surface is mixture of ice, gravel and mud.
16. 02. 2020 00:14 CET 17 Stage is cancelled due to weather conditions.
16. 02. 2020 00:18 CET 16 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's been another short day, but we have been consistent. There is not much more that we could do but I am not completely comfortable so I am not willing to push more. We need to finish - that's the main target for tomorrow.
16. 02. 2020 00:18 CET 16 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We changed the setup on the car a bit so that it was not understeering so much. This helped me to preserve the tyres better and worked for the last forest stage. Tomorrow will be difficult - Seb has driven here many times in a WRC car and for me it will be my first time. We will try our best and see what happens.
16. 02. 2020 00:17 CET 16 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I'm not unhappy - I think the last real stage this morning was not the best but other than that we had a good day. I felt pretty good in the car the whole weekend and I think when you see what Elfyn is doing it's even better. For our championship, this is still a good position to be in. We will push until the end and I think the conditions will be quite tricky tomorrow.
16. 02. 2020 00:17 CET 16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been a good day for us and we're happy with what we've managed to do. Who knows what tomorrow will bring - hopefully we can find the same rhythm that we've had over the past two days. We'll just try and do the best job that we can tomorrow - it's a long stage and you can easily lose a lot of time if you don't gel with the conditions.
16. 02. 2020 00:17 CET 16 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's been a good day for us - like I said, we have managed to improve the settings slightly. I can be really pleased with my driving in general today and I know we can use these settings on gravel in the next event which is good.
16. 02. 2020 00:17 CET 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It has gone quite well - we tried to be clever and not make any silly mistakes but it's always disappointing when you are not on the podium. We had a good start yesterday and were able to keep up until yesterday evening. Today was a little different, but I think we've done everything we can.
16. 02. 2020 00:17 CET 16 flash info (16 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's been a mixture of good and bad - obviously it takes some time to get going and I dropped too much time in the first stage this morning. I'm a part-timer, especially when it's such a specialist rally like this then you have to be in the car all of the time. We'll just try and bring it home tomorrow.
16. 02. 2020 00:16 CET 16 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was just like yesterday. The first two stages were okay but I lost some time in the third stage with some slides. We need to analyse the rally well and see what we are doing wrongly.
16. 02. 2020 00:16 CET 16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): It's my first experience of being first on the road. On SS7, there was a lot of loose snow and we struggled with the grip. I still have to work on my driving but we are going in the right direction, so I'm happy.
16. 02. 2020 00:15 CET 7 (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Fedorov Yaroslav): puncture
16. 02. 2020 00:14 CET 7 flash info (20 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It was okay - we tried to have a clean stage. I am not comfortable so I am having to go over the limit and it's not ideal.
16. 02. 2020 00:13 CET 7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I was caught out near the end when the sump guard touched and it threw the car into an understeer. It's still very tricky.
16. 02. 2020 00:13 CET 7 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's not easy, we had to make some changes on the road section because our front tyres were wearing out too much. I had to get the feeling at the beginning of the stage but now I think it's a better set up for the tyres.
16. 02. 2020 00:12 CET 7 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I made one small mistake at the end where I had a really bad exit. Otherwise, a really good stage and we had a good push.
16. 02. 2020 00:12 CET 7 flash info (16 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I don't know what the boys behind will be able to do but that one will clean more than the others. We had a clean run.
16. 02. 2020 00:12 CET 7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): It was very difficult to drive because every corner the grip is changing a lot. We are here so it's okay.
16. 02. 2020 00:15 CET 6 retired (45 - Andolfi Fabio / Savoia Stefano): technical problem after SS 6
16. 02. 2020 00:11 CET 6 flash info (20 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I am trying but when you're not really comfortable it's difficult to push. I keep making mistakes instead of being faster - I went off the road at one point at one time and lost a little bit of time.
16. 02. 2020 00:11 CET 6 flash info (28 - Lindholm Emil / Korhonen Mikael): I don't think this morning was perfect - I wasn't really in touch with the grip the gravel was offering. I had a much better rhythm in this stage.
16. 02. 2020 00:11 CET 6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I wasn't sure if we were too careful but it seems we are carrying good speed. Anything can happen, so we need to keep in this rhythm.
16. 02. 2020 00:11 CET 6 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Slowly, slowly. I can't saying I am feeling completely comfortable yet but I am doing what I can.
16. 02. 2020 00:10 CET 6 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I am trying my best and driving much better than yesterday, but the times aren't there. I think I am losing some studs but I am not sure where I can preserve them.
16. 02. 2020 00:10 CET 6 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I tried my best but we are struggling a little bit with the setup and the car felt different to the stage before.
16. 02. 2020 00:10 CET 6 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): This stage was really good, so I am really pleased. It's better than yesterday and I can't do more.
16. 02. 2020 00:10 CET 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was a bit better but probably not enough. I thought I had done a better stage at this.
16. 02. 2020 00:09 CET 6 flash info (16 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It was quite okay - I didn't push enough in some places but I'm trying my best. We're still enjoying it.
16. 02. 2020 00:09 CET 6 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): We need to go flat out and that's it. Simple.
16. 02. 2020 00:09 CET 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): This is more like loose snow on the top of the surface, which makes it slippery. It is trickier than yesterday but I will try and survive this rally.
16. 02. 2020 00:07 CET 5 flash info (22 - Veiby Ole Christian / Andersson Jonas): Three or four corners before the end - I was lucky with that. There was a hole on the inside. I enjoyed this stage and I couldn't do much more than that.
16. 02. 2020 00:07 CET 5 flash info (20 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): That's good. The conditions are slightly better today, but it's still not easy. We are trying to keep a good rhythm.
16. 02. 2020 00:07 CET 5 flash info (28 - Lindholm Emil / Korhonen Mikael): It's completely different. There is more gravel and better grip in general I think. Luckily we had no issues.
16. 02. 2020 00:06 CET 5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been an okay morning but it was difficult in there. There was a lot of grip, but in some places it was slippier than expected.
16. 02. 2020 00:06 CET 5 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's still not the feeling I was hoping for... just that go-kart feeling.
16. 02. 2020 00:06 CET 5 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's a bit cleaner but today will be more tricky with the studs. If we can manage this speed then it should be okay.
16. 02. 2020 00:06 CET 5 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Let's see - it's a bit more tricky now and we lost some studs towards the end. The feeling is good so we will try to enjoy it.
16. 02. 2020 00:05 CET 5 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I am happy with my driving - it was clearly better than yesterday and it was a clean run. I can't do much more than that.
16. 02. 2020 00:05 CET 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I tried to drive fast but the road is completely different. I struggled but we tried to push.
16. 02. 2020 00:05 CET 5 flash info (16 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's not very good. I feel better than I did yesterday but we definitely need to drive better than that.
16. 02. 2020 00:05 CET 5 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): I was quite happy with my driving but still there is some places where I can go better. I don't think we have a good road position because it's loose and slippery, but we caused this situation for ourselves yesterday.
16. 02. 2020 00:04 CET 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): I expected more icy conditions but it wasn't so bad. Some places were a bit more slippery than yesterday but it's okay.
16. 02. 2020 00:04 CET 5 A very mild start the day. Temperatures at the opening Finnskogen test are currently 2°C and there is a high possibility of some rainfall later on.
14. 02. 2020 16:23 CET 8 retired (45 - Andolfi Fabio / Savoia Stefano): accident in SS 8
14. 02. 2020 16:09 CET 8 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I am happy to be here - it's not been too long in the car and we are taking it step by step. The feeling is still there, things happen but it has been a long time out of the car. Of course, I want to spend as much time in the car as possible and today was quite short, but lots has been learnt.
14. 02. 2020 16:08 CET 8 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): The morning was really good - it has been like a month since I drove on snow. We were fast and consistent, a few mistakes here and there but it was good. I stalled for a second time in Torsby Sprint and it was a really stupid mistake. I need to learn how to deal with these kind of situations in the car but I haven't got too much experience just yet.
14. 02. 2020 16:08 CET 8 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I think the pace has been more or less the same throughout the day - we are losing all the time to the Toyotas which is where I am disappointed. I feel that we can still improve if we can do small changes for the setup - maybe the pace can be slightly better.
14. 02. 2020 16:08 CET 8 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The feeling with the car has been really good and we can't complain with a day like that. It's good but we have to do it all again tomorrow - who knows what the conditions will be like but we will have to adapt to what's put in front of us.
14. 02. 2020 16:08 CET 8 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The conditions were not too bad today - there was a little too much gravel here and there but there were good sections with nice grip. We are going to try and make some small changes to the car and improve our pace. It's not a bad day for us - our team-mates have done a good job and proved that we can do better.
14. 02. 2020 16:07 CET 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I'm satisfied with the speed we had to go. I am not happy with the overall classification but I think we did the best job we could. With the rally being so short it will be hard to catch any places but we will see what we can do.
14. 02. 2020 15:12 CET 8 (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): spun, stalled engine
14. 02. 2020 15:18 CET 4 retired (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): technical problem after SS 4
14. 02. 2020 12:41 CET 4 retired (49 - Armstrong Jon / O’Sullivan Noel): accident in SS 4
14. 02. 2020 11:46 CET 4 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): We have a technical problem and the engine is cutting all the time - I don't know what it is. I have to keep rebooting it and starting again. We will try to get to service but our rally is done - we've lost too much time.
14. 02. 2020 11:46 CET 4 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's tricky because the ice is breaking up quite a lot. It's not easy but generally the feeling in the car is quite good.
14. 02. 2020 11:37 CET 4 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): I don't really know... for me the stage felt pretty okay but we have lost too much time.
14. 02. 2020 11:37 CET 4 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I don't know - it's a shame because I am doing my best. After the first three corners I was on the limit all the time.
14. 02. 2020 11:25 CET 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It's pretty difficult - we have no snow and no line. We had a good rhythm so we will continue to give it everything and see.
14. 02. 2020 11:38 CET 3 retired (31 - Poom Roland / Järveoja Ken): accident in SS 3
14. 02. 2020 11:08 CET 3 (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): spun
14. 02. 2020 09:23 CET 2 flash info (16 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I struggled at the start of the stage to get back into the rhythm again, but the second half was much better.
14. 02. 2020 09:21 CET 2 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): The tyres started to give up and I lost the confidence in the icy corners. It was going well until that point.
14. 02. 2020 09:20 CET 2 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): At the end it was tricky but generally we had quite a good stage.
14. 02. 2020 09:15 CET 2 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was quite okay but I made a few mistakes where I lost a bit of time. Interesting conditions on the last part where there is ice and the tyres are already dying.
14. 02. 2020 09:14 CET 2 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I tried my best. I couldn't really do any better so I need to be pleased with this.
14. 02. 2020 09:14 CET 2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was okay - in some places I struggled and braked a bit too early. The grip was still quite changeable.
14. 02. 2020 09:14 CET 2 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I was a little cautious at the end because we have lost some grip already with the tyres. It was a good stage anyway - you can always take more risks but it's not too bad.
14. 02. 2020 09:13 CET 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was okay in this one but I think the other stages will be more tricky. The grip is changing and I struggled with understeer so I couldn't carry the speed into the corners.
14. 02. 2020 09:13 CET 2 A clear but chilly start to the day. Temperatures at the end of SS2 are currently -11°C.
12. 02. 2020 22:00 CET 1 Stage is cancelled and transformed into Shakedown 2.
12. 02. 2020 19:56 CET 1 Itinerary was shortened due to bad weather conditions week before the start.
13. 02. 2020 20:58 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Obviously we had a good start to the year but we have tricky conditions ahead of us. Our road position is not the best tomorrow, we will be cleaning. We will do our best - it's going to be strange for everybody.
13. 02. 2020 20:55 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It was fantastic - what a ride! I might need to try and learn a little bit more French and then we will be good to go.
13. 02. 2020 20:51 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's a different challenge this weekend. We'll be trying our best.
13. 02. 2020 20:51 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): We will go flat out from start to finish. It's a sprint and a very fast rally, so that's the only way to do it.
13. 02. 2020 20:47 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I am more confident than in Monte for sure but it will be a new kind of experience for us. It will be good to see what we can do and what sort of rally it will be.
13. 02. 2020 20:45 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo): That went quite well - I didn't have any moments so it's an improvement.
13. 02. 2020 20:40 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): It was nice to drive but a bit more slippery than this morning's shakedown.
13. 02. 2020 20:36 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's another event and another one we want to win. For sure, we will do our best.
13. 02. 2020 20:33 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): The grip is very good! It was good fun, so I hope the spectators enjoyed it.
13. 02. 2020 20:31 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (16 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's not part of anything. I had a nice feeling in shakedown this morning so any chance I get to drive this car I enjoy it the best I can. I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun.
13. 02. 2020 20:27 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (20 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): The car is working well on all conditions so we are looking forward to starting the rally tomorrow.
13. 02. 2020 20:24 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (23 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): It's so enjoyable to drive here and there were a lot of spectators. I had a good feeling.
13. 02. 2020 20:22 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Fedorov Yaroslav): That was a fun run. We have really old tyres from this morning so I don't think we had much grip! Our car setup is good and I am quite excited now.
13. 02. 2020 20:21 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (24 - Yates Rhys / Morgan James): It was good fun - similar to the PlayStation game so I know it quite well! It gets serious tomorrow but that was a good blast round.
13. 02. 2020 20:15 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (22 - Veiby Ole Christian / Andersson Jonas): It's fun - for sure, very different to what we are used to but it's great to see so many people here. Hopefully we put on a good show and tomorrow the real deal starts.
13. 02. 2020 20:15 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (25 - Tidemand Pontus / Barth Patrik): I am really looking forward to the proper start tomorrow.
