02. 10. 2022 08:55 CET 		17 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's quite a big relief after such a good season and finally we are here! It was a small wait after a few difficult rallies but the biggest thanks goes to the team - they made this rocket this year. Even after all the difficult rallies they were believing in us and giving us all the support.
02. 10. 2022 19:54
02. 10. 2022 08:54 CET 		17 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): I am happy with my rally and it was a nice comeback after three months. Obviously Kalle has done even better and now I cross my fingers that this last 6km go well for him. Like I say, we are witnessing history.
02. 10. 2022 19:54
02. 10. 2022 08:54 CET 		17 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We had a far from good weekend, but anyway, Kalle and Toyota has been very strong and they have beaten everybody fair and square, no question at all. Hopefully everything goes well for Kalle.
02. 10. 2022 19:54
02. 10. 2022 08:54 CET 		17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was the maximum we could do this weekend. We got the penalities and we had two spins. We still need to work on the car because I don't feel comfortable in these conditions. Sometimes it's a struggle for me to drive and go fast, so we're going to work on it.
02. 10. 2022 19:54
02. 10. 2022 08:54 CET 		17 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): For sure, it's been a very tough weekend with a lot of small things happening all the time. At least there has been no mistakes. Fifth place is not what I hoped for but it's okay. We definitely need to improve the car when it's slippery and wet but it's getting better and better.
02. 10. 2022 19:53
02. 10. 2022 08:53 CET 		17 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): I was too relaxed! I am here and I am super happy with the result. Great roads - maybe a bit less rain would have been better - but it's amazing!
02. 10. 2022 19:53
02. 10. 2022 08:53 CET 		17 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's something that's caught us out in the past - just a tyre debead on a jump. It's kind of the way things are going at the moment.
02. 10. 2022 19:53
02. 10. 2022 08:53 CET 		17 flash info (28 - Kremer Armin / Kremer Ella): It's an amazing result for us and we are really happy. Everything was fine and the team were working well.
02. 10. 2022 19:52
02. 10. 2022 08:52 CET 		17 flash info (24 - Bates Harry / McCarthy John): I would have enjoyed it more if we were more on it from Friday morning! We picked up two stage wins along the way so we can't be disappointed with that. A massive thanks to everybody who got us here - it'd been great.
02. 10. 2022 19:52
02. 10. 2022 08:52 CET 		17 flash info (23 - Van Gisbergen Shane / Weston Glen): It's fun! I'm driving a rally car in the WRC - that's pretty cool. We had a great time and I'm living my dream. To get a podium, I'm stoked. I'm having a ball.
02. 10. 2022 19:51
02. 10. 2022 08:51 CET 		17 flash info (21 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): I did a mistake on this one - I hit something on a cut and the steering wheel is a little bit to the right. It was a really good rally for us and I enjoyed almost all the stages. It's not the end of the story to fight for the championship victory and I will try to do it on the next rally.
02. 10. 2022 19:51
02. 10. 2022 08:51 CET 		17 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's been a very long two-and-a-half days! We've tried to manage it and not do anything silly. We're pleased the pressure's off by actually doing this - we would have looked not so good if we did something silly!
02. 10. 2022 19:49
02. 10. 2022 08:49 CET 		17 Starting order: Paddon, Kajetanowicz, Van Gisbergen, Bates, Kremer, Breen, Bertelli, Solberg, Neuville, Tänak, Ogier, Rovanperä
02. 10. 2022 19:48
02. 10. 2022 08:48 CET 		16 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Let's see what we can do. We will try to go for the points and we will see what happens.
02. 10. 2022 19:48
02. 10. 2022 08:48 CET 		16 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): It's never easy. The Power Stage will be quite muddy but we will try to manage it. When you have Ott behind you can never relax, so I will try to keep the rhythm and enjoy the last one.
02. 10. 2022 19:48
02. 10. 2022 08:48 CET 		16 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We will do all we can, so let's see. When the stages are slower it seems okay. Hopefully it will work on the next one as well but it depends on what the weather will be like.
02. 10. 2022 19:47
02. 10. 2022 08:47 CET 		16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I went a bit wide! I changed some settings on the hybrid system and I got a huge surprise under braking.
02. 10. 2022 19:47
02. 10. 2022 08:47 CET 		16 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was very slippery so I just took it easy.
02. 10. 2022 19:47
02. 10. 2022 08:47 CET 		16 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): I am getting used to wet stages! It was slippery, but it's okay. We are trying to do our job and finish the rally. This stage was enjoyable anyway.
02. 10. 2022 19:46
02. 10. 2022 08:46 CET 		16 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It was trickier that time. Obviously a lot of rain at the start of the stage, so it was quite slippery on the polished stone. We got through it.
02. 10. 2022 19:46
02. 10. 2022 08:46 CET 		15 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I think nobody else was driving fast, but it was not a push from us. We were just checking out the stage and we'll see what happens.
02. 10. 2022 19:46
02. 10. 2022 08:46 CET 		15 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): The plan is to secure the 1-2 for the team and hopefully celebrate something today.
02. 10. 2022 19:45
02. 10. 2022 08:45 CET 		15 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): In places I was far too brave and in one place we were very close to having a proper crash. It was a bit of excitement!
02. 10. 2022 19:45
02. 10. 2022 08:45 CET 		15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): A clean recce for the Power Stage. I was very careful on the jumps and we are ready for a bit of a push to get a few more points from the weekend.
02. 10. 2022 19:45
02. 10. 2022 08:45 CET 		15 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I have never jumped so high in my life! That was cool.
02. 10. 2022 19:44
02. 10. 2022 08:44 CET 		15 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): Just two to go! This one was really nice for the spectators and also for us. We enjoyed it.
02. 10. 2022 19:44
02. 10. 2022 08:44 CET 		15 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I don't know who Jack is, but I'd say his house will be worth a few pounds after today! It was actually really, really nice. There was one huge jump that I wasn't expecting but it was really enjoyable - fair play!
02. 10. 2022 19:44
02. 10. 2022 08:44 CET 		14 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I just tried to have a normal pace and we will see what we can do in the afternoon. Nothing crazy. I am not really pushing - I just wanted to start the day with a bit of driving and keep comfortable.
02. 10. 2022 19:43
02. 10. 2022 08:43 CET 		14 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): It's pretty slippery this morning to be honest. Lower grip than what we've had so far this weekend.
02. 10. 2022 19:43
02. 10. 2022 08:43 CET 		14 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We are just trying to get through the rally. We need to finish.
02. 10. 2022 19:43
02. 10. 2022 08:43 CET 		14 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It worked well now and it's nice to have a clean run. Very loose in there with a lot of cleaning, but it was a very nice and enjoyable stage.
02. 10. 2022 19:42
02. 10. 2022 08:42 CET 		14 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): We took it very easy. There is a lot of cleaning and gravel so the road surface will improve a lot.
02. 10. 2022 19:42
02. 10. 2022 08:42 CET 		14 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Unfortunately there's not enough rain! It was probably the loosest stage we've done all weekend, but no dramas. We're through and it's all good.
01. 10. 2022 19:27
01. 10. 2022 08:27 CET 		13 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): A really clean and tidy day with no mistakes. We took a couple of spare tyres this afternoon just to play it safe and I'm happy with how it's gone.
01. 10. 2022 19:26
01. 10. 2022 08:26 CET 		13 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): What can I say? Why do we need to find positives all the time from negatives? Let's see tomorrow.
01. 10. 2022 19:26
01. 10. 2022 08:26 CET 		13 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): The conditions were very difficult and we had super-heavy rain. I am happy to finish the day and we are in a position to fight for a good result for the team, so that's not bad at all.
01. 10. 2022 19:25
01. 10. 2022 08:25 CET 		13 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I was backing off on this one and it felt bad straight away. A great day. I can be really happy with what we did in these extremely difficult conditions. We pushed really hard and I am happy.
01. 10. 2022 19:25
01. 10. 2022 08:25 CET 		13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a challenging day, but there was not much we could do. We were driving on our own rhythm and just trying to survive. With the rain and zero visibility it wasn't easy, but it's good to be here. Tomorrow is a short day and we will try to end up in a good position.
01. 10. 2022 19:25
01. 10. 2022 08:25 CET 		13 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I drove as fast as I could with the misfire. It's sometimes running clean and sometimes not, but I tried to rev it as much as possible to get the best out of it.
01. 10. 2022 19:24
01. 10. 2022 08:24 CET 		13 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): I was too aggressive on a simple corner and went with the front into the mountain. Nothing big - I was just too relaxed in the last stage! We are here at the end and we are so happy.
01. 10. 2022 19:24
01. 10. 2022 08:24 CET 		13 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It was fine in that stage - the nicest one of the loop. Obviously it was more difficult this afternoon and we were cleaning a lot of the standing water away. We made no big mistakes except for a big slide on the last one, but apart from that it's all good.
01. 10. 2022 19:28
01. 10. 2022 08:28 CET 		12 retired (32 - Stokes Robbie / Stokes Amy): retired in SS 12
01. 10. 2022 19:28
01. 10. 2022 08:28 CET 		12 retired (27 - Jones Kingsley / Jones Waverley): retired in SS 12
01. 10. 2022 19:24
01. 10. 2022 08:24 CET 		12 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Of course, everything is not okay but the target is to come through. Luckily this stage was more consistent with less muddy places. It's such a shame.
01. 10. 2022 19:23
01. 10. 2022 08:23 CET 		12 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Jonne was grabbing the seat a bit in one place! A nice stage - I don't know what Séb is doing behind, but all good.
01. 10. 2022 19:23
01. 10. 2022 08:23 CET 		12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Better conditions, but I was really missing traction and spinning the wheels all the time. I had a clean run through.
01. 10. 2022 19:23
01. 10. 2022 08:23 CET 		12 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Sometimes it clears, but the more I rev the better it seems. It's a real shame to be honest. I have felt better in the car this afternoon, but it is how it is.
01. 10. 2022 19:22
01. 10. 2022 08:22 CET 		12 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): It stopped raining and it's getting dry quite quickly. The grip compared to the previous stage was okay.
01. 10. 2022 19:22
01. 10. 2022 08:22 CET 		12 retired (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): accident in SS 12
01. 10. 2022 19:21
01. 10. 2022 08:21 CET 		11 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): No problems. It's all okay.
01. 10. 2022 19:21
01. 10. 2022 08:21 CET 		11 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): The plan is to try to drive well, but it's difficult with a lot of standing water. I don't want to take full risks because Elfyn is missing now and the team needs two cars at the end.
01. 10. 2022 19:21
01. 10. 2022 08:21 CET 		11 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Really difficult conditions - a lot of standing water and surprises in every corner. We tried to be fast. Let's see how the drivers are coming behind, but it was a clean stage for me.
01. 10. 2022 19:20
01. 10. 2022 08:20 CET 		11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had an okay stage. Difficult conditions but I had a clean run through. There's nothing to fight for at the moment with one-minute in front and one-minute behind.
01. 10. 2022 19:20
01. 10. 2022 08:20 CET 		11 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I had a misfire the whole stage and I couldn't see anything. I don't know if we can fix it.
01. 10. 2022 19:20
01. 10. 2022 08:20 CET 		11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The car felt a bit better but the conditions were horrible. A lot of standing water inside the corners, so I had to watch it. It's a nice stage but still tricky.
01. 10. 2022 19:19
01. 10. 2022 08:19 CET 		11 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): I turned in too early and got the wrong line, then on the exit I almost went wide. Luckily we are here and it's fine.
01. 10. 2022 19:18
01. 10. 2022 08:18 CET 		11 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I need a set of wipers for my glasses as well - I was getting splashed by water in some places! The grip is good when there's no water, but when there is you're just sitting on top of it straight away.
01. 10. 2022 19:18
01. 10. 2022 08:18 CET 		10 retired (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): damaged rollcage after SS 10
01. 10. 2022 19:16
01. 10. 2022 08:16 CET 		10 Stage was cancelled.
01. 10. 2022 19:15
01. 10. 2022 08:15 CET 		10 Stage was stopped because of accident of car st.no. 44.
01. 10. 2022 19:15
01. 10. 2022 08:15 CET 		10 retired (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): accident in SS 10
01. 10. 2022 19:11
01. 10. 2022 08:11 CET 		9 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We can't do anything - we have no speed. It's nothing new.
01. 10. 2022 19:10
01. 10. 2022 08:10 CET 		9 (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): damaged rear of the car
01. 10. 2022 19:10
01. 10. 2022 08:10 CET 		9 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): It is slippery and Kalle is pushing. A bit of a abetter stage on this one, but we didn't start so well in the first one.
01. 10. 2022 19:10
01. 10. 2022 08:10 CET 		9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I am pushing really hard. I tried to be clean but I did a few mistakes, going wide where it was a bit more slippery than I thought. Maybe it's getting a bit faster with the cleaning. Hopefully Elfyn is all good.
01. 10. 2022 19:09
01. 10. 2022 08:09 CET 		9 (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): was out of road
01. 10. 2022 19:09
01. 10. 2022 08:09 CET 		9 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's bad. For me, the car felt better than the first one, but it's really hard to make the car do anything at all. It's really not nice.
01. 10. 2022 19:08
01. 10. 2022 08:08 CET 		9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We have a technical problem. We will try and get back to service and then we'll see.
01. 10. 2022 19:08
01. 10. 2022 08:08 CET 		9 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I had so much understeer and I had no confidence at all to push. I struggled in there.
01. 10. 2022 19:08
01. 10. 2022 08:08 CET 		9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's difficult. I am not confident to be honest. It's my driving style, I think.
01. 10. 2022 19:07
01. 10. 2022 08:07 CET 		9 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): I think the grip compared to the previous one is a bit lower. Today's stages are more technical than yesterday but still amazing stages.
01. 10. 2022 19:07
01. 10. 2022 08:07 CET 		9 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): That one was really tricky compared to the first. The grip was much lower with a lot of surprises. Of course, we've got a good road position.
01. 10. 2022 19:06
01. 10. 2022 08:06 CET 		8 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We had one mistake - we had a wrong note and did some damage probably to the front. I have no feeling in the car, so we are not in the fight. I don't see that at the moment.
01. 10. 2022 19:06
01. 10. 2022 08:06 CET 		8 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's pretty wet to be honest, but all okay. We just need to keep doing what we can and see what happens.
01. 10. 2022 19:06
01. 10. 2022 08:06 CET 		8 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): I think the conditions at the end were not cleaning anymore and it was more slippery. At least the guys around me should have the same conditions.
01. 10. 2022 19:05
01. 10. 2022 08:05 CET 		8 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Let's see. I think it's cleaning a bit for the guys behind - hopefully not too much! I tried to push but I didn't really feel fully confident in the narrow places. Other than that, we are here all good.
01. 10. 2022 19:05
01. 10. 2022 08:05 CET 		8 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): For me there was quite a lot of mud coming through. We had low grip and it seemed a bit like Wales, where the best place to be is first on the road. I was struggling in some of the slippery sections but it's okay.
01. 10. 2022 19:05
01. 10. 2022 08:05 CET 		8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We tried to go for more grip but it's cleaning a lot in this stage. We did what we could - it wasn't the best run, but it was not bad either. We'll keep this rhythm and see what is happening.
01. 10. 2022 19:04
01. 10. 2022 08:04 CET 		8 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): In some places we had good grip but the car was quite stiff, so I didn't have a lot of traction. It's okay - it was a very tricky stage to do the first time and I took it a bit steady.
01. 10. 2022 19:04
01. 10. 2022 08:04 CET 		8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Maybe I am too slow - that's it. I have no speed like yesterday. I just need to find where I can push.
01. 10. 2022 19:03
01. 10. 2022 08:03 CET 		8 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): This stage was okay and the grip was very good. Maybe a bit of cleaning, but not so much. It's a very technical stage and it was a good wake-up call. So far, so good!
01. 10. 2022 19:03
01. 10. 2022 08:03 CET 		8 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I'd love to tell you everything is all lovely and rosy. The roads are beautiful, but my soul is still hurting a bit from what happened yesterday. I was very, very cautious in there and we want to get through the day with no mistakes.
30. 09. 2022 19:50
30. 09. 2022 08:50 CET 		7 retired (22 - Hunt Ben / Rawstorn Tony): retired in SS 7
30. 09. 2022 19:48
30. 09. 2022 08:48 CET 		7 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): A difficult stage. I just drove carefully because I don't have many tyres left on the back, but I'm getting more and more into it. The feeling is better in the car now.
30. 09. 2022 19:47
30. 09. 2022 08:47 CET 		7 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): Without a rear wing on such a fast stage I did what I could, but it was not the same.
30. 09. 2022 19:47
30. 09. 2022 08:47 CET 		7 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's been a good day - just some strange patterns of tyre wear this afternoon which have made things very difficult this afternoon.
30. 09. 2022 19:47
30. 09. 2022 08:47 CET 		7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's very mixed conditions this afternoon and I wasn't so committed. I have many things to improve, so I will try to find out this evening what I can do for tomorrow.
30. 09. 2022 19:47
30. 09. 2022 08:47 CET 		7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We changed some stuff with the car and some things are better, but it took me a while at the start to get used to it. It's not all bad but it's not the way we wanted to finish the day.
30. 09. 2022 19:46
30. 09. 2022 08:46 CET 		7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It has been not a good day for us. I am still not 100 per cent confident in the car and we have some things we need to work on. In Greece I felt comfortable but in all the other rallies it's never feels good enough for me to push.
30. 09. 2022 19:46
30. 09. 2022 08:46 CET 		7 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It has been so far quite good. No mistakes and we did everything we could. I think we can be quite happy with what we have done, but here I think we will lose some time. The tyres were so done and there was no grip for us.
30. 09. 2022 19:46
30. 09. 2022 08:46 CET 		6 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It's raining every time I go out on the stage! It was really muddy on this one and I had no rear tyres left - it was like driving in rear-wheel drive all the time.
30. 09. 2022 19:45
30. 09. 2022 08:45 CET 		6 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): I have lost half of my spoiler? Really? That's not ideal! For sure, it could be a problem, but I don't know how much we will lose because it's so muddy.
30. 09. 2022 19:45
30. 09. 2022 08:45 CET 		6 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Sounds like Kalle - getting all the good luck! I got caught in loads of rain and the tyres were so worn that I was aquaplaning everywhere.
30. 09. 2022 19:45
30. 09. 2022 08:45 CET 		6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The previous stage was okay but this one has changed a lot and after 10km it started to be very muddy. It was quite tricky but we are here.
30. 09. 2022 19:44
30. 09. 2022 08:44 CET 		6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I couldn't see anything at some points. It was pretty bad for a while and then the conditions were very bad with a lot of aquaplaning.
30. 09. 2022 19:44
30. 09. 2022 08:44 CET 		6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Not easy. The tyres were quite dead on the rear and when the rain came it was quite difficult to keep the car in the line.
30. 09. 2022 19:44
30. 09. 2022 08:44 CET 		6 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was just starting to rain quite a lot and in the mud it's quite undriveable.
30. 09. 2022 19:44
30. 09. 2022 08:44 CET 		6 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I think without two spare wheels it's not so enjoyable to drive at the moment. Luckily in here it was really muddy, so hopefully we have enough tyres for the next one.

30. 09. 2022 08:44 CET 		5 retired (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): retired after SS 5
30. 09. 2022 19:43
30. 09. 2022 08:43 CET 		5 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): You know yourself what happened. I know I shouldn't be doing all these mistakes, but it's really tough.
30. 09. 2022 19:43
30. 09. 2022 08:43 CET 		5 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It's still not easy to drive, but I found a clean line. We had a lot of rain at the end now and it was very slippery and easy to do a mistake.
30. 09. 2022 19:43
30. 09. 2022 08:43 CET 		5 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): That's good! We said the plan was to push, but it's only the first one. It was drier than expected but the tyre wear should be alright.
30. 09. 2022 19:42
30. 09. 2022 08:42 CET 		5 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's a left that opens and then the right after that comes very quickly. I think that's where Colin crashed a while back. For me, it was okay, but the tyres were shot at the end. The screen misted up and I couldn't see anything for the last 3km.
30. 09. 2022 19:42
30. 09. 2022 08:42 CET 		5 (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): accident in SS 5
30. 09. 2022 19:41
30. 09. 2022 08:41 CET 		5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's more changeable conditions. In the beginning it's okay, but at the end you still have mud and quite slippery sections.
30. 09. 2022 19:41
30. 09. 2022 08:41 CET 		5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's so, so difficult [to look after the tyres]. I don't know - let's see!
30. 09. 2022 19:41
30. 09. 2022 08:41 CET 		5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Everybody is managing their tyres in there. I tried to do a good job and hopefully I didn't go too hard on the tyres. It would be good to get some rain for the next stages because, if not, we could be struggling - it's quite abrasive in there.
30. 09. 2022 19:41
30. 09. 2022 08:41 CET 		5 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We are cleaning a line massively and it would be a miracle if we could beat the R5s on this one! It was hard on the tyres so we were really trying to manage through this one.
30. 09. 2022 19:40
30. 09. 2022 08:40 CET 		5 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was difficult still. The line is not so wide after the small cars, so I need to open the line a bit and it's not easy. It was a bit more dry than I expected, so in the middle of the stage it was really slippery when it got drier.
30. 09. 2022 11:48
30. 09. 2022 00:48 CET 		4 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): All okay, but we need to go faster this afternoon!
30. 09. 2022 11:48
30. 09. 2022 00:48 CET 		4 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): This stage was fast and flowing and I couldn’t really carry the speed - but the rest of the morning has been good.
30. 09. 2022 11:48
30. 09. 2022 00:48 CET 		4 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Honestly, it’s good to get a clean loop but I couldn’t really push in there.
30. 09. 2022 11:41
30. 09. 2022 00:41 CET 		4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The car is good, but not me - I don’t know why. I just can't find a rhythm at all.
30. 09. 2022 11:41
30. 09. 2022 00:41 CET 		4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We were sliding a lot in there but it was a beautiful stage.
30. 09. 2022 11:41
30. 09. 2022 00:41 CET 		4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Two stages, two spins. Very hard to keep the car in line, I don’t know if it’s the dampers or the suspension but I am not sure what we can do now. We will continue to lose time.
30. 09. 2022 11:41
30. 09. 2022 00:41 CET 		4 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): spun

30. 09. 2022 11:02
30. 09. 2022 00:02 CET 		3 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I am not really dancing in the car! They are enjoyable stages but I can't get the flow. Some places are very good and others are awful - I am really struggling.
30. 09. 2022 10:54
29. 09. 2022 23:54 CET 		3 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): In some places I was not quite finding the rhythm right, but others were good. On the second pass we just need to make sure the whole thing is very good.
30. 09. 2022 10:54
29. 09. 2022 23:54 CET 		3 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): That was absolutely beautiful - breathtaking. I probably didn't commit as much as I'd have liked to, but I enjoyed it regardless
30. 09. 2022 10:53
29. 09. 2022 23:53 CET 		3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I just spun. It was quite slippery and I am not so comfortable yet. Small things are affecting the grip a lot, so it's not easy.
30. 09. 2022 10:53
29. 09. 2022 23:53 CET 		3 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): spun
30. 09. 2022 10:44
29. 09. 2022 23:44 CET 		3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's a really nice stage, this one. Difficult to find the rhythm with a lot of changing grip in places, but overall it was okay.
30. 09. 2022 10:40
29. 09. 2022 23:40 CET 		3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Just a spin, four corners before the finish. There was a bump with some water and the rear spun around and the engine stalled. I think there is damage, but it was quite narrow and not easy to recover.

30. 09. 2022 09:31
29. 09. 2022 22:31 CET 		2 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): Sounds alright! Let's see what Séb is doing behind us.
30. 09. 2022 09:31
29. 09. 2022 22:31 CET 		2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The grip wasn't so bad but at the end it started to be a little bit muddy. Maybe I was a little bit careful, but it's okay.
29. 09. 2022 23:21
29. 09. 2022 12:21 CET 		1 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was a bad run through for me, but it's nice to see all the people here. Of course, the pressure is always there, but hopefully this weekend we can try to do a good job. It will be difficult opening the road.
29. 09. 2022 23:21
29. 09. 2022 12:21 CET 		1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We will see what we can do. My head was spinning in here and I had no idea where the road was going - it was not so fun, actually! [The championship fight] is not in our hands, it's nothing to do with us.
29. 09. 2022 23:20
29. 09. 2022 12:20 CET 		1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's hard to say, but anyhow, it's good to be back in New Zealand. The target is to carry on with the momentum we've had in the last couple of events and also for us after our win in Greece.
29. 09. 2022 23:20
29. 09. 2022 12:20 CET 		1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I think the roads are real drivers' stages out here. We're looking forward to starting tomorrow.
29. 09. 2022 23:20
29. 09. 2022 12:20 CET 		1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): In the recce the grip felt good on the stages and I think the car is working. I will just try to do my best and enjoy the stages.
29. 09. 2022 23:20
29. 09. 2022 12:20 CET 		1 flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): It's definitely going to be a tough day tomorrow, but it's enjoyable. We've got some incredible stages in front of us and it's definitely going to be one of the most enjoyable rallies of the year. I can't wait to get into it to be honest.
29. 09. 2022 23:20
29. 09. 2022 12:20 CET 		1 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's just going to get faster and faster - we had a lot of rain before the start. I was just trying to keep it tidy because if you go wide at the donuts you lose a lot of time. The real challenge will be tomorrow.
29. 09. 2022 23:19
29. 09. 2022 12:19 CET 		1 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): The stages look amazing. We hope to enjoy it and that's the plan - it will be a challenge, but let's see what we can do. The rain made things difficult in here and I hope it's not drying too much for the guys behind!
29. 09. 2022 23:19
29. 09. 2022 12:19 CET 		1 flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It's fantastic to be here. We have a lot of memories from the family and I was born when my dad rallied here. This stage was very tricky but it doesn't matter - I did my best tonight and tomorrow is where it starts.
29. 09. 2022 23:19
29. 09. 2022 12:19 CET 		1 flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): The roads are amazing and I think this is a good reason to choose Rally New Zealand!
29. 09. 2022 23:19
29. 09. 2022 12:19 CET 		1 flash info (25 - Horan Raana / Connor Michael): I had a bit of trouble sorting the grip out on the first braking point and overshot it and over-rotated the car. Other than that it was okay.
29. 09. 2022 23:18
29. 09. 2022 12:18 CET 		1 flash info (24 - Bates Harry / McCarthy John): It means so much just to be on the start line to be honest. An amazing atmosphere - I'm just going to lap it up this weekend, that's for sure.
29. 09. 2022 23:17
29. 09. 2022 12:17 CET 		1 flash info (23 - Van Gisbergen Shane / Weston Glen): Tomorrow we'll be taking it pretty easy, but that was a whole lot of fun and so cool to see so many people out there. Awesome.
29. 09. 2022 23:17
29. 09. 2022 12:17 CET 		1 flash info (22 - Hunt Ben / Rawstorn Tony): It's fantastic to see everyone here supporting. It's been 10 years since we had the WRC here and it's great to see the support. This was really a demo stage and we're looking forward to getting on the gravel.
29. 09. 2022 23:17
29. 09. 2022 12:17 CET 		1 flash info (21 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): We have some trouble. Now we are going to the service - we have a short time and we will see tomorrow.
29. 09. 2022 23:16
29. 09. 2022 12:16 CET 		1 (21 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): broken driveshaft
29. 09. 2022 23:16
29. 09. 2022 12:16 CET 		1 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It was awesome to see so many people here. This is just the start and we're hoping to see more people out tomorrow. It's a shame about the moisture - it made things really slippery and shiny.
29. 09. 2022 09:24
28. 09. 2022 22:24 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo): The stages are amazing! I couldn't hear my co-driver because of an intercom problem, but even with that it's just amazing on these roads.
29. 09. 2022 09:23
28. 09. 2022 22:23 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I don't know where that cosmetic damage is from, but it was compressing quite a lot. The roads are amazing and it's fantastic to be here, This was quite a fast stage but the roads are unique and awesome to drive on.
29. 09. 2022 09:22
28. 09. 2022 22:22 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): It's pretty simple. I think it's one of the most beautiful ones for us rally drivers. They are very beautiful and flowing stages and it was quite clear from the beginning that I wanted to come here. I have only driven here once before and I wanted to be back.
29. 09. 2022 09:18
28. 09. 2022 22:18 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's the only stage that isn't like New Zealand! Very fast and towards the end it becomes a bit like the rally, but overall it's quite different. Still, very nice to drive.
29. 09. 2022 09:17
28. 09. 2022 22:17 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): The car feels good, honestly. It's a beautiful country and the roads are amazing to drive rally cars on and go fast. Even though this is a short stage, you just get so much pleasure.
29. 09. 2022 09:15
28. 09. 2022 22:15 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It felt okay. I was searching for the grip and things, but it was very good. I'm hoping it's going to be a nice weekend.
29. 09. 2022 09:12
28. 09. 2022 22:12 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): All okay. It was a bit loose in places, but otherwise okay.
29. 09. 2022 09:12
28. 09. 2022 22:12 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's good to be back and good to get the feeling again - even if the shakedown is not that representative. It's good to get a feeling for the grip as well, even though we may face some different conditions this weekend. We're happy to be here and hopefully we can have a good run.
29. 09. 2022 09:11
28. 09. 2022 22:11 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): That was quite short - just one minute!
29. 09. 2022 09:07
28. 09. 2022 22:07 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): All good. The feeling is quite nice. It will be tricky opening the road - even now in the shakedown it was hard with the loose gravel. That will be a challenge, like always.
