INFORMATION ABOUT SS 1

retired (40 - Zeiringer Fabian / Letz Angelika): accident in SS 1
(40 - Zeiringer Fabian / Letz Angelika): rolled
(35 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): puncture
flash info (31 - McRae Max / Kierans Macartan): Definitely didn't feel like second, it felt quite cautious. There's some quicker guys to come through so let's see what happens but it was honestly quite tricky.
flash info (30 - Jalava Miko / Peippo Matias): There is lots of dust, but its always great to start the rally.
flash info (29 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): It goes well, I don't know the time, luckily we started two minutes after our colleagues. We finished so we are happy for that and we will go ahead on the rally.
flash info (28 - Hansen Victor / Johansson Victor): Something wrong here.
flash info (27 - Maior Norbert / Maior Francesca): To be honest, it's not the best feeling for sure. We brake a lot, but this is not ideal for the rally. It was a lot of dust for sure. I really like the car and these kind of stages, but I just want to see the road.
flash info (26 - Nore Ola jun. / Eriksen Torstein): Feels good, we have a good flow, but there's no traction, you don't feel like you're moving forward. I feel like I'm driving bad, but I don't know. We need to see.
flash info (24 - Parys Piotr / Syty Damian): I got a little bit too much cut on that corner, but its nothing, its only the mirror!
flash info (23 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): The line was pretty good, but the dust was a big problem. It was tough but I'm happy we're here.
flash info (22 - Armstrong Jon / Fair Cameron): I'm sure everyone is struggling, difficult to get a rhythm, you can get sucked into a ditch just by missing your braking point. Hopefully when the sun comes up the dust will disappear.
flash info (21 - Bertolotti Simone / Capilli Federico): Yes it's very tough, there's a lot of dust, so it's difficult to see the line and it's very fast and very tricky. We have two spare tyres, to be sure!
flash info (20 - Cuzma Bogdan / Minor Ilka): It was tough, we enjoyed part of the stages, but it was difficult with the dust.
flash info (19 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): Honestly, I have experienced this in Wales, but it was fog not dust.
flash info (5 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): This one was crazy, half the stage I didn't know where it was! Its crazy out there. There were some places I didn't know where I'm going!
flash info (14 - Virves Robert / Drew Craig): Driving wise, it wasn't too much risk, but cause of the dust it was really difficult to see in places. From my side the pace notes are not too good either.
flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Sometimes I drove really slow because I couldn't see the road, it was bad sometimes. I need to build confidence with the pace notes in this situation, in the second loop it will probably be more of the same.
flash info (18 - Battistolli Alberto / Scattolin Simone): As I said I'm here to enjoy it and I'm not enjoying it, I'm not satisfied with my driving.
flash info (3 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): We are driving at 190kmh, but we can't see anything.
flash info (15 - Campedelli Simone / Canton Tania): We could go more, but it was really dusty, in some places I gave throttle in the middle of the stage, it's hard to understand how much we're staying in the lines. What we gain on the road position in terms of lines, I believe we struggled with dust.
flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Stupid, you're in the middle of a corner and you don't even know if you can see the road or not.
flash info (6 - Franceschi Mathieu / Escartefigue Jules): We were flat out and you can't see anything, so you brake and lose a lot of time. I think I lose 1 minute. Horrible!
flash info (10 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): Was really difficult for us, I went off the road. This stage was disaster for us, really struggled to get into the pace and we got in trouble.
(10 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): was out of road
flash info (9 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): The dust was ridiculous, we survived, it's very hard but we'll keep going on.
flash info (16 - László Martin / Berendi Dávid): We don't have grip like everybody I think and in some places I need to brake in the long roads, but it's all part of the game.
flash info (4 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It's not good like this. I didnt see anything.
flash info (7 - Heikkilä Mikko / Vaaleri Samu): Lot of dust on there, impossible to drive fast. Quite a lot of cleaning and as a result the times are not so good.
flash info (17 - Pryce Osian / Prévot Stéphane): You can't see a thing. To be fair to the boys in front, they were smart with their road position.
flash info (8 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): Surprisingly okay actually, but it's tricky to understand where you can push a bit more, but its good experience for the future for sure.
Weather in almost whole Latvia is cloudy and rainy, roads are damp or wet, temperature around 18°C.
