INFORMATION ABOUT SS SHAKEDOWN
flash info (24 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It is a alot different [oming back to WRC2. We don't have such a good feeling for Shakedown so we will try and change quite alot for the rally.
flash info (22 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): Nice to be back, great atmosphere. The people are amazing here with the fans around the road mode section. It is going to be a big challenge for us I think. If you see classification here in WRC2 Challenger it seems to be easy for us but it isn't.
flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Livery was designed by children here in Toyota City. I really enjoy being here. I need to adapt to the food but people are so nice. I really enjoy to speak with them.
flash info (20 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): Not an easy event, did a lot of study on the onboards before arriving and I knew we had a big task. Having seen the stages, a lot of leaves and dirt on the road. Without the gravel crew it will be very difficult.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Really good to be back in a Rally1 after one year. It is a good present to us after a good year so I just want to enjoy it and get a really nice drive. We have not been testing, this was my first test on shakedown.
flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Really difficult to start, really really slippery, you can not imagine. it is like ice. A long time I have not driven the car on tarmac - since Monte Carlo.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): End of the season, very important rally for me. Will try and push as much as I can. Many challenges with the weather but it is going to be fun.
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): A lot of corners, very tricky Friday. There are a couple of stages that are a bit wider and a bit faster but 70 percent of the stages are really really twisty.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): A lot of leaves in the stage already. The weather is beautiful today, unfortunately it will change tomorrow.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Somehow not driving at all at the moment...interesting at the moment.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): A challenging event, that is for sure. We have no pressure, we are here to have fun and target another victory. Our main rivals have a lot more pressure this weekend.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I hope for a good run. I think it is going to be quite a different rally to last year with what we are expecting tomorrow.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): There are quite many things that are interesting. The conditions will be challenging for us. If the rain comes on Friday, it will be incredible.
