Datum und Zeit SP Information
20. 10. 2024 14:46 CET 18 (40 - Kohn Filip / Whittock Ross): was out of road
20. 10. 2024 14:25 CET 18 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Let's see for the championship, obviously what happened to Seb... it is always difficult to fight a friend and then something like this happens so it is difficult to find feelings. Everything changed, especially in the manufacturers' championship. We took care to have a clean stage and bring the points home.
20. 10. 2024 14:25 CET 18 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I feel okay about the weekend, of course it is hard to be fully happy after a weekend like that. Some good moments, not a bad weekend over all. We weren't so fast this morning, quite fast again now. Yeah, it's like that.
20. 10. 2024 14:24 CET 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's not much help to say we could've won the title, a challenging event, we are in the rhythm after Friday. A small mistake happened, we had to manage our race, we wanted to bring it home. It wasn't to be this weekend. Japan is coming up and looking forward to it. Thank you to the team once again for the reliable car and sorry for the mistake.
20. 10. 2024 14:23 CET 18 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Huge thanks to the team, such a difficult moment and that moment I had last month, had massive support from the team. Juha and Janni are gravel team, huge thanks to them. I tried everything today, things can happen on this rally; it is tough. I tried to do my best. It will be interesting in Japan, maximum push. I have never tried maximum push before but we will try in Japan.
20. 10. 2024 14:23 CET 18 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I think it was required to be smart in such conditions. Not so much happened on the Thursday, but lots happened today. Big thanks to the gravel crew, we have done what we needed to do.
20. 10. 2024 14:23 CET 18 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): I enjoyed more and more throughout the weekend. Driving on the asphalt was difficult throughout the weekend. I was hoping for top 20, I think we are near that. You will see me in Kenya.
20. 10. 2024 13:50 CET 18 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): It's been a tough weekend, but there are many positives to take where you compare to Monte Carlo and Croatia where we were hugely off the pace. We started the rally well, we had a good test and I finally felt one with the car. We are happy with the weekend, unfortunately it is not something you can brag about. Hopefully we can secure some points for the Wolf Power Stage, it was a clean run, hopefully we can go faster.
20. 10. 2024 13:45 CET 18 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's been a nightmare to drive the car on the first two days with the technical issue we had. I am quite happy at the end we had a clean day and now the car is working. It is a shame, last time we won in WRC2, we were on the roof. Maybe that rally win will come one day.
20. 10. 2024 13:44 CET 18 flash info (29 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): I am very happy! It is our first podium in WRC2, I was not thinking it was possible to fight with the podium in WRC2. I appreciate it, especially Friday as I was not quite fast. Yesterday we were on quite good pace, and today. I am happy, this is big success for us, I am happy to fight with Kajto and this is good.
20. 10. 2024 13:43 CET 18 flash info (24 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): My feeling is much better in the car, it was my plan also to do it here before Japan, now we are ready I hope. I made the wrong decision in service today, we are fighting with McErlean, he had hard tyres and we had soft. It wasn't a good decision, but okay. Thank you for my team - they told me "Kajto, lets do it this way" and I said no, I was wrong. Thank you to my family, I go home now, 40 days!
20. 10. 2024 13:36 CET 18 flash info (30 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): I am really happy. First of all I would like to thank my wife who is at home with our two children, our small guy is only two weeks old, I love them. We are really happy about the result, we didn't expect it. Our season was full of ups and downs, this is the gift at the end. I would like to thank my team and the Czech fans!
20. 10. 2024 13:35 CET 18 flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Of course we have a lot of experience, it is an important weekend, it has been nine months since being on Tarmac. Speed was good striaght away, we learnt a lot in the morning yesterday with the setup. Good fun weekend, thanks to the team, we have had good testing and it has been a fun year with everyone. It has been a good season, a waiting game, but good fun. I don't think I will be in Japan, I will lay on the sofa. For sure the pressure is on Pajari now.
20. 10. 2024 13:35 CET 18 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I was told to be calm, do the job and let the car drive and not me, so I was like a spectator. Thank you to the team, the co-driver, the gravel crew. I could not have done this without the information from them. Thank you for the team that did not let me slow down this weekend.
20. 10. 2024 13:33 CET 18 Starting order: Gryazin, Solberg, Mareš, Kajetanowicz, Marczyk, Fourmaux, Mikkelsen, Serderidis, Munster, Katsuta, Neuville, Evans, Tänak
20. 10. 2024 12:14 CET 17 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Without gravel crew, very, very difficult. Very difficult off the right. I am sorry for Séb. I pushed very hard as well, I was a couple of times off as well.
20. 10. 2024 12:11 CET 17 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been going well, it was a clean stage for us. It is not easy you have to try and anticipate.
20. 10. 2024 12:11 CET 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was OK, I made some setup changes to see if we can improve for the Wolf Power Stage. Decent run, not a push. The guys are fighting for victory so it would not be very sensible for us to fight with them as they are pushing for victory. Setup changes could be better, but I think we could go harder.
20. 10. 2024 12:10 CET 17 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's quite dirty, I was quite careful because we had no Gravel crew on this stage. It reminds us that they did a great job this weekend. Quite okay. For me, the main purpose is to be in front of Tänak; that's the target.
20. 10. 2024 12:10 CET 17 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We found something that is working better, it is a big test. Trying things out, sometimes it is wrong, sometimes it is not. We tried so many different things, we are struggling with the front end, we changed the roll bar and the diffs. It has been a weekend of learning.
20. 10. 2024 12:10 CET 17 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): I am saving my tyres for the Wolf Power Stage, trying to be as prepared as we can. We don't have any hybrid either, it is living it's own life.
20. 10. 2024 12:10 CET 17 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): Even more tricky, a lot more dirty, a lot of gravel. It is really dangerous. If you want to commit on everything, I'm not sure you can commit on the stage. It is very difficult.
20. 10. 2024 12:07 CET 17 retired (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): accident in SS 17
20. 10. 2024 11:50 CET 17 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I am just trying to stay really clean also, there is a lot of dirt as expected. We had no gravel crew in the stage before, it is quite tricky to tell in some places. You need to guess what you have seen this morning and see what dirt is on the road. It's a little bit more of a job.
20. 10. 2024 11:24 CET 17 Start will be delayed for 7 minutes.
20. 10. 2024 13:34 CET 16 retired (47 - Jyrkiäinen Suvi / Linnaketo Antti): retired after SS 16
20. 10. 2024 11:31 CET 16 flash info (29 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We are trying, this one is full of grip on a lot of brakings and in some places, slippery in the corners. I was too soft on the brakes and probably lost a lot of speed in the corners.
20. 10. 2024 11:26 CET 16 flash info (30 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): It would be massive success for us, huge result but two stages to go. It is not easy, in every corner there is huge pollution already. I took it carefully, still trying to keep at the optimal pace and hopefully we can find the balance.
20. 10. 2024 11:24 CET 16 flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was okay, never done this stage before and the others have so it was a bit tricky with some different leaves, gravel and so on. It's okay, the car is good.
20. 10. 2024 11:23 CET 16 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I just drive safe, trying to enjoy the car and for sure maybe we are not in the best tyre choice but we went with a safe tyre choice. There were some parts that were not fast which I did not expect, the corners were too tight, so sometimes I don't drive on the pace notes, I just drive on the line.
20. 10. 2024 11:23 CET 16 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was an okay stage, it is not so easy to be perfect everywhere. Not the perfect stage but a good one. I always enjoyed a fight with Tänak, I said that yesterday that fighting a world champion is always kind of fun. We love this fight, both of us.
20. 10. 2024 11:16 CET 16 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I tried to do all I can. I don't know how much we can prepare, we just have to do what we can. We definitely try.
20. 10. 2024 11:16 CET 16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The feeling wasn't brilliant, just struggled for ultimate confidence. The corners are getting dirty all the time. The two hards on the front is a contributor, but I thought it would get better.
20. 10. 2024 11:15 CET 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The car is not good. I was struggling like hell with the front, no precision, lots of movement. Just no confidence and the car won't turn, so bad. Different profile, I don't fit it so well. The road is getting dirty, lots of leaves and you don't know how the grip is so I tried to do as good as I can without risking.
20. 10. 2024 11:01 CET 16 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We did quite a big change yesterday evening just to find something, it is not working for me. Now we are stuck with it, but at least we tried it and we know for Japan. We did something that shifts the balance a bit towards the rear on throttle, it is a bit too much. On a really tight corner it is working, so it is good to try it here.
20. 10. 2024 11:01 CET 16 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): Hybrid issue, did not have the green light so I can't move the car. Not the best build up. The whole weekend has been bad.
20. 10. 2024 11:00 CET 16 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): I don't know what happened, everything okay with Mikkelsen? I think there was an issue with an hybrid. I am happy to not have it on this car.
20. 10. 2024 10:46 CET 16 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's good to have a positive on the rally, really pleased with [the stage win], the feeling is good and is faster. Generally it is much better. I am still on full soft. It was okay, I tried to save them on the braking to not kill them. I think the hard tyres are hard to warm up at the beginning.
20. 10. 2024 10:46 CET 16 Stage continues.
20. 10. 2024 10:44 CET 16 Start of stage is delayed.
20. 10. 2024 10:43 CET 16 (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): no green light on hybrid on start of SS 16
20. 10. 2024 10:31 CET 15 (39 - Černý Jan / Krajča Ondřej): was out of road
20. 10. 2024 10:18 CET 15 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): I'm so fast, I don't know what happened really, we went a bit wide in the corner and rolled quite softly. The damage is not so bad on the car, I think maybe we can continue but I think in this case it makes sense that we don't make anymore damage. I think it was a soft roll but I don't know why it happened, in my opinion my pace note was okay and there was nothing really surprising on that corner.
20. 10. 2024 10:17 CET 15 flash info (29 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was more tricky than I expected, there were lots of anti cuts on six or eight corners which I have in the pace notes and on some corners there were some anti cuts missing, then some corners without proper pace. It would be good to not lose so much to Kajto here.
20. 10. 2024 10:17 CET 15 flash info (30 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): Honestly, I enjoyed the stage. It's the first time in my career for consecutive races I am driving this rally car so I am enjoying, finally this stage was consistent in terms of conditions so I enjoyed it.
20. 10. 2024 09:56 CET 15 flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Tricky! Lot of gravel and pollutiion, which was unexpected. It was a clean stage, but not on the attack.
20. 10. 2024 09:53 CET 15 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I was just driving the same, it is nice and flowing. Not risking too much, slowed down from the chicane again.
20. 10. 2024 09:52 CET 15 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): There was a lock-up for us and we went straight. All OK. It's the way it is.
20. 10. 2024 09:51 CET 15 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Dirty surprises. Let's see for Super Sunday, very challenging conditions at the moment, we need to do better. We try to be racey as well.
20. 10. 2024 09:51 CET 15 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It went okay, a lot of pollution already which is tricky. It is hard to judge how bad it is, the loose is pretty slippery in places.
20. 10. 2024 09:50 CET 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): If I see the conditions in there, I do not want to push too much. Many surprises, we had one big slide on the beginning because it was full of gravel. Even towards the end, the anticuts have been moved. It is not nice. Just a tiny bit, the others are able to cut and the road is dirty.
20. 10. 2024 09:43 CET 15 (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): was out of road
20. 10. 2024 09:34 CET 15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Really sorry for Pajari, it can happen and he did a fantastic job. For sure, he will be fine, he has done a very good job. Nothing else to say.
20. 10. 2024 09:33 CET 15 Stage continues.
20. 10. 2024 09:32 CET 15 Starting is stopped.
20. 10. 2024 09:31 CET 15 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Not such a good stage for me, I was hesitating a lot. We did a drastic change on service yesterday, changed the balance a lot and I need to get used to it. Something with differentials.
20. 10. 2024 09:30 CET 15 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): It's not a good start for me, Andreas did not pass, we had a message he stopped and then we did not get the info for the virtual chicane. A lot of disturbing things.
20. 10. 2024 09:26 CET 15 retired (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): accident in SS 15
20. 10. 2024 09:25 CET 15 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): Front left puncture after some kilometres, when I changed I saw there was a small side cut on the tyre. We're in the cuts where you can cut, we tried to be as close as we can to the boxes like we've been all weekend.
20. 10. 2024 09:21 CET 15 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's a really nice flowing stage, quite clean also. I did enjoy the stage and the car is working. The feeling is okay, it is fully dry now, but it is okay.
20. 10. 2024 09:17 CET 15 (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): puncture
20. 10. 2024 09:12 CET 15 Weather in Germany is sunny, temperature around 9°C, roads are dry.
19. 10. 2024 18:01 CET 14 flash info (27 - Kremer Armin / Kremer Ella): Really good, really fantastic. The first stage of the day was quite easy, it was a nice compromise. After the midday, we got quite a lot of traction with things. We are happy!
19. 10. 2024 18:01 CET 14 flash info (31 - Griebel Marijan / Braun Tobias): Trying to push like all the day, for sure the afternoon was more enjoyable, easier conditions. We enjoy fighting with the Toksport guys, like I said I haven't done any ERC or WRC events for a year, so it's good pace.
19. 10. 2024 17:57 CET 14 flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's probably the nicest stage of the loop in terms of enjoying it to drive. This morning was pretty terrible, we made some good steps forward but still a long way away.
19. 10. 2024 17:57 CET 14 flash info (23 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): It's okay, it is good to get to the end of another day with experience under our belt.
19. 10. 2024 17:56 CET 14 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): Not bad, I accept my mistake on the first stage. It was not a bad day for me, it was not a bad feeling, I pushed very well. Now I know the stage and I think that is most important for sure.
19. 10. 2024 17:56 CET 14 flash info (24 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): What do you know! I stopped, I missed a braking point because I missed my braking point, the tyres are gone and soft tyres in these conditions are not easy to drive. I was trying to be late on the break and that was the wrong position. We were leading, yes? We have a lot of fun. Car is sliding because the soft tyre is moving, on the fifth gear you can go on the drift. I enjoy!
19. 10. 2024 17:56 CET 14 flash info (29 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It's a good day, it means it is a good day for all the Polish crews. I hope also Hubert and Michał also had a good race. Last year Saturday was not good for me, I lost the speed on the afternoon, today we keep the speed. 54 or 58 km to go on Sunday, we need to have a good sleep for tomorrow. I am already happy that our speed is consistent with Kajto.
19. 10. 2024 17:49 CET 14 (24 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): was out of road
19. 10. 2024 17:48 CET 14 flash info (30 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): Really difficult day, overall the mileage was quite silly, one of the longest days of my career. The only real mistake was on the first stage. Still we are staying positive, the car is in good condition and just one stage to go.
19. 10. 2024 17:48 CET 14 flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Good fun, super nice stage. I did some changes to the car again, enjoyable. It's been a fun afternoon. Now I was on the soft tyre so I can fine tune a bit more on the clicks to get a little more comfort, this is what I needed this morning, it would have been perfect.
19. 10. 2024 17:48 CET 14 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Quite good grip, nice stage. I passed really slow, we don't need to risk much so we just drive clean. We have one day to get the result and also enjoy.
19. 10. 2024 17:40 CET 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Obviously there is disappointment for sure, but the rally isn't over and tomorrow is an exciting day. We paid the price, it was mistake in the recce for the pace note, even now the note was slower and it was still too fast. I didn't see it last night as well, a bit disappointed about that but it is what it is.
19. 10. 2024 17:38 CET 14 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was a good stage. Near the end some more slippery sections where you could do a tiny bit more. It's OK, it was a good day. It's even better like this [to be fastest], thank you for the good news.
19. 10. 2024 17:37 CET 14 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Nothing I can do on the road sections. The last two stages were much more dryer than we might have expected. This one was quite clean. Seems like we lose to the Toyotas in these conditions. The splits are slower!
19. 10. 2024 17:33 CET 14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was okay, didn't have such an amazing feeling, when everything is a bit dryer and moving around it is not going so well.
19. 10. 2024 17:28 CET 14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure much easier than this morning, just a clean run. Aaron did a very good job, just need to focus for tomorrow and do my best to take some points for the team.
19. 10. 2024 17:28 CET 14 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Quite nice, somehow this stage suited me quite nicely. Somehow on the first pass, it was nice. OK it was not easy, but the feeling with the car and everything is coming together. We are moving forwards. There are quite many ideas where the others take the time, but right now I am not really concerned about it.
19. 10. 2024 17:28 CET 14 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's quite fun but there are some really fast sections, then a big braking zone. At the moment, with the soft tyre, you hit the brakes and it locks up. We hit the brakes and we were on the limit. Sometimes quite good but sometimes quite bad.
19. 10. 2024 17:22 CET 14 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): Very much, I enjoy more and more. Let's see tomorrow if I enjoy even more. For this season, it is finished. For the next one, Kenya will be difficult to avoid.
19. 10. 2024 17:21 CET 14 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): It's a beautiful stage, the grip was very consistent, everything you expect. No surprises. We look forward to tomorrow, try to improve the car and get a good feeling for tomorrow. We have a good car now and I think we're ready to push tomorrow.
19. 10. 2024 17:03 CET 13 flash info (41 - Charpentier Tristan / Silvestre Corentin): A bit better this morning, we were really off the pace. There is a fine balance between taking a risk on slicks on Tarmac. We have to learn a bit.
19. 10. 2024 17:03 CET 13 flash info (44 - Laskowski Hubert / Kuśnierz Michał): We were a little but pushing but the tyres are too hot now. It was okay, we have to fight again. We are okay, we have had a good day.
19. 10. 2024 17:02 CET 13 flash info (40 - Kohn Filip / Whittock Ross): The day was good so far, now I am really trying to push. I had a spin or half spin but now I am enjoying a lot. We have to push for sure.
19. 10. 2024 16:57 CET 13 flash info (52 - Fontana Matteo / Arnaboldi Alessandro): It was just to be safe bringing rain tyres because this morning was quite challenging, this afternoon we had some problems with the brakes so it is not easy. We do what we can and we'll see for tomorrow.
19. 10. 2024 16:57 CET 13 flash info (38 - Chatillon Mattéo / Cornuau Maxence): We tried to manage our race, it is not easy today. This morning with the wet, it is really tricky.
19. 10. 2024 16:57 CET 13 flash info (37 - Vossen Henk / Scholtalbers Harmen): I'm still happy with them because they're very good on the stage. We catch places every stage, I am having fun and the tyres are the best.
19. 10. 2024 16:50 CET 13 retired (36 - Díaz Aboitiz Miguel / Sanjuán Diego): technical problem in SS 13
19. 10. 2024 16:49 CET 13 flash info (28 - Boland Eamonn / "MJ" ..): We're flying today, grand, all good. Great rally. Simple as pie, easy peasy. We have a great craic.
19. 10. 2024 16:49 CET 13 flash info (35 - Nešetřil Petr / Černoch Jiří): It is perfect, very nice stage and this condition is perfect for rally. Very nice, I am so happy.
19. 10. 2024 16:48 CET 13 flash info (26 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): We've got a lot of work to do. Just the pace, we had a good run in there and made some changes to the car. It helped us on the wet stuff but usually we need help on the dry stuff.
19. 10. 2024 16:48 CET 13 flash info (34 - Cvrček Věroslav jun. / Těšínský Petr): We like the dry condition more, it is much better. In the morning I was very unhappy with my driving, but my team made me smile and happy. They showed me I had to enjoy my rally. Last stage, we had two big moments, now they make it a bit more easy. Thank you to all the fans, pushing us along.
19. 10. 2024 16:39 CET 13 flash info (32 - Potty Maxime / Herman Renaud): I am enjoying this stage, it is more dry, it's more easy and I like, I prefer and continue for the rest.
19. 10. 2024 16:38 CET 13 flash info (27 - Kremer Armin / Kremer Ella): Really good, we had a good feeling for the car and everything. Really happy.
19. 10. 2024 16:38 CET 13 flash info (31 - Griebel Marijan / Braun Tobias): That's a close battle all the rally, I gave it my best. I am quite happy to fight with the Toksport guys without doing any international rally for three years.
19. 10. 2024 16:38 CET 13 flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Still trying a lot of things with the car, it didn't suit where we were. Made a change here and it was a bit better, seem to be heading in the right direction. Conditions are changing all the time, but we'll get it.
19. 10. 2024 16:37 CET 13 flash info (23 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): Conditions a bit easier for us as drivers, it's been a good afternoon so far so let's continue. The car is awesome, if I could be as awesome as the car we'd be alright.
19. 10. 2024 16:27 CET 13 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): You can push more, this morning it was more for a big gap, but it was more fun to drive like this. The mind is not bad, but not good.
19. 10. 2024 16:27 CET 13 flash info (24 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): I was very gentle on this stage. I am happy with the time, the setup is not perfect. It is much better than yesterday in terms of feeling with the car. This is important before Japan.
19. 10. 2024 16:27 CET 13 flash info (29 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): Two and a half is not a lot, for sure we are trying and enjoying. We are here to push our limits, drive well and it is a big pleasure that we can still be in the match against Kajto, who is one of the best Polish crews.
19. 10. 2024 16:27 CET 13 flash info (30 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): I am enjoying to be honest, we have a saying in Czech Republic that everything bad is good for something. Since the overshoot on the junction, the pace has been better.
19. 10. 2024 16:26 CET 13 flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I think the morning conditions suited me well also, as I said I should have had these settings in the morning. These settings could have worked in the mornings. I need to learn and it is good for the future, I haven't done tarmac in nine months. I could have gone softer with the setup and we have gone soft now, it is very progressive. The Citroëns are fast on tarmac, so it's good to know I can beat them.
19. 10. 2024 16:19 CET 13 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It was quite flowing and enjoyable, for sure I don't know how Solberg will do, he is also showing good pace so it is not easy to fight with him. It is a race and it will always be a good fight.
19. 10. 2024 16:18 CET 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Like we said before, disappointed. It is not the end, in the fight for the championship we are still on course. It is frustrating for sure, back on Tarmac we wanted to have a good race but we are thinking a lot about finishing the rally first.
19. 10. 2024 16:12 CET 13 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): We had to react, Ott was fast in the previous, we had to be fast on this. It is a dryer road, so we have to be better on it. Let's see for now, little bit less humidity.
19. 10. 2024 16:10 CET 13 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I guess it is just so racey, I just don't have a racey enough car at the moment. We'll keep trying.
19. 10. 2024 16:05 CET 13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): In the dry condition, a lot of markings have improved, a bit of hesitation here or there. I should learn to ignore what my old man says sometimes! He's doing my gravel notes, you have to take everything with a pinch of salt but it's not always that easy to do.
19. 10. 2024 16:05 CET 13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Very clean, just clean. Nothing so exciting to say. I just tried to do my job. I just did it like this. This one was surprisingly good condition, cleaner than this morning, we did some good stages.
19. 10. 2024 16:04 CET 13 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): In some places we push, but it is different type of condition and driving compared to the morning. It is a bit more clean, it's not just about the slippery places, you need to be less high speed. It is really nice anyway.
19. 10. 2024 16:04 CET 13 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We are trying things out, we tried one thing that wasn't working but at least we know to go in the other direction. We tried something with the damper but it didn't really help us too much.
19. 10. 2024 16:03 CET 13 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): I fixed the power issues on the service. I am so lucky to do that kind of stage, it is so nice and so fun. The issue was the mapping I think.
19. 10. 2024 15:55 CET 13 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): We are trying to improve the car, there are some parts I wish I had that got destroyed yesterday. I can only thank myself. For some reason, I didn't have hybrid at the start of the stage. When things are calmer, it is quite okay.
19. 10. 2024 16:29 CET 12 retired (53 - Weigert Timo / Weigert Jasmin): retired after SS 12
19. 10. 2024 15:26 CET 12 (34 - Cvrček Věroslav jun. / Těšínský Petr): was out of road
19. 10. 2024 15:20 CET 12 flash info (29 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): The race is going, we need to wait for the time of the guys and we need to go another two stages. Here was not easy for us, in this I was not clean enough. We need to keep going for this loop.
19. 10. 2024 15:13 CET 12 flash info (30 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): I overshot one junction and stalled the engine in there, it was shortly after the start. I guess we lost 15-20sec in there. It forced me to precise and fast, from this moment it was good.
19. 10. 2024 15:11 CET 12 flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): We changed the car now like how it should have been this morning. The feeling is back, it is nice, calm and it is drying up a lot. There is a lot more gravel in here but it is okay. Got the car a bit more softer and more progressive. Obviously the setup this morning was on the stiff side.
19. 10. 2024 15:11 CET 12 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Quite slippery because of the cuts, the rest was okay. I lost a lot in the virtual chicanne as my pace is not showing the real speed, it showed 100kph, I did not know how to react. I need to fix it for tomorrow.
19. 10. 2024 15:06 CET 12 (30 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): stalled engine in hairpin
19. 10. 2024 15:05 CET 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had a clean stage through, there is nothing we can do at the moment. Really disappointed for the mistakes this morning. Until there, there were no warnings and the pace is good. Just the one pace note. It is rallying and it is more predictable as well.
19. 10. 2024 15:03 CET 12 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Still in the lead. You can try to find the Séb Ogier magic yourself.
19. 10. 2024 14:59 CET 12 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Let's see, we'll try our best. Conditions are still not easy but at least we know what to do from the first pass. There were some lines on the road from the first pass, some sketchy situations.
19. 10. 2024 14:58 CET 12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was difficult positions out there, it is what it is, of course it's dry but there's a lot of pollution out there. Let's see.
19. 10. 2024 14:55 CET 12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Sun didn't make a difference? Not really, it is dryer than this morning. Every thing is fine. So-so run.
19. 10. 2024 14:54 CET 12 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Quite okay, still many places with dirt and dampness so it is still not so clean. Quite enjoyable anyway, so it is still quite a solid clean run. Obviously on the dry conditions, you need to be committed to see how much you can go on all the corners, but it is quite nice anyway.
19. 10. 2024 14:54 CET 12 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): The Tarmac is fully dry, when you get into the forest it is a little damp. Some cuts appear from nowhere, it is always a bit tricky, but if you stay in the line there is no problem. We are still struggling with the front, but it is much better than yesterday. We are still trying to find that small thing that can get us to the finish.
19. 10. 2024 14:46 CET 12 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): More dry, but more tricky because there is a lot of gravel. Some places are really tricky. More dangerous than the morning, but faster.
19. 10. 2024 14:44 CET 12 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): It's very clean, even the cuts, everything is quite clean. Not as difficult as this morning, that's for sure. I try to help my team-mates as much as I can.
19. 10. 2024 11:36 CET 11 flash info (24 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): There is some slippery corners, but it is a good experience in this kind of condition. I will try to push but at the same time, I try to be clever. It is not easy to find compromise. All push, or compromise? Remember, we are fighting all season. So it is important to be on the podium and we want to be again. We try to have fun and we have at this moment.
19. 10. 2024 11:29 CET 11 flash info (29 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It is good, Kajto is a proper driver and it is nice to be on a similar pace. The rally is still very long, anything can happen. It is crucial how we will perform on the stages on the second loop, if we can find it then it is possible to battle with Kajto.
19. 10. 2024 11:26 CET 11 flash info (30 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): Surprisingly a mostly dry stage from my point of view, we expected something different. We are trying to keep our place, the two guys ahead of us are really fast, but we are trying to enjoy and manage at the moment.
19. 10. 2024 11:26 CET 11 flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Very tricky conditions in there, I changed the car completely and it is much better. There is one tight left where we had a half spin. At least I know where the grip is. The grass was my fault.
19. 10. 2024 11:26 CET 11 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Because the grip feels better, the notes from the Gravel crew was good, but it was slippery. The last part there was drizzle, it has to be more wet than on the live. You drive, it is like a battle field, lots of dirt on the lines. Sometimes we were sliding, because of the dirt. Luckily we didn't have any problems.
19. 10. 2024 11:16 CET 11 (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): was out of road
19. 10. 2024 11:16 CET 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): My pace notes were too fast, it's a wide road. Obviously in the dry it would have worked but my pace notes were too optimistic and the car never turned because it was too greasy, then we decided to go into a field and got stuck. The spin was a spin, but the second one I couldn't avoid. There was a way to get out, so I had to try. But we are here.
19. 10. 2024 11:15 CET 11 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): A little sideways moment mid stage. We got info that it would be tricky, but there were sections where there was good grip and where there was not. Neuville is good news for us
19. 10. 2024 11:07 CET 11 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Many surprises, which basically from the first corner is difficult to spot. Difficult to find the balance.
19. 10. 2024 11:07 CET 11 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): was out of road again
19. 10. 2024 11:06 CET 11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I was a bit less happy in here, we made a few changes to try and help, I'm not sure it helped the feeling so much but the car is fine. We went one of the two ways with the setup.
19. 10. 2024 11:05 CET 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): spun
19. 10. 2024 11:02 CET 11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Not a bad job. Just repeat. For sure it was a big surprise. I am many surprised in many places. It was very difficult. I felt okay, now here's the limit on the braking, I didn't take risk as I didn't want to slip. I felt like 10min on the grass!
19. 10. 2024 11:01 CET 11 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Maybe I am still too slow, not any moments and I am just in the middle of the road. It was a really nice stage, I enjoyed it. I had a really nice, clean, enjoyable stage. No drama.
19. 10. 2024 10:54 CET 11 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Sometimes the grip is gone suddenly, there was a wide road and we went fully straight. Lost a bit of time in the grass. The beginning is quite dry and you want to get through.
19. 10. 2024 10:53 CET 11 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): was out of road
19. 10. 2024 10:51 CET 11 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): It is damp, dry and I think it will be worse with the passes. It is damp and quite slippery. A nice stage.
19. 10. 2024 10:50 CET 11 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): It's like tractors being on there, it's like ice. No grip at all, none.
19. 10. 2024 11:25 CET 10 retired (47 - Jyrkiäinen Suvi / Linnaketo Antti): retired after SS 10
19. 10. 2024 11:02 CET 10 retired (46 - Baudet Lyssia / Sam Caw Freve Léa): accident in SS 10
19. 10. 2024 10:33 CET 10 retired (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): technical problem after SS 10
19. 10. 2024 10:33 CET 10 flash info (35 - Nešetřil Petr / Černoch Jiří): Everything is okay, we tried the stage and we are very happy that we are here. It is slippery and the surface is changing all the time.
19. 10. 2024 10:32 CET 10 flash info (26 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): It's so tricky this morning, if you don't get into the rhythm it is hard to find the stage. We couldn't get the rhythm on this one, even if the conditins are more consistent. You have to feel it more with the car to be honest.
19. 10. 2024 10:20 CET 10 flash info (34 - Cvrček Věroslav jun. / Těšínský Petr): This morning was not as good as expected. We expected more dry but we tried to enjoy the stages. I still have no confidence with these tyres on Tarmac. It is challenging but it is good to go to the finish. We cannot look at these times. The challenge is to finish it, so we have to stay calm and see what we can do.
19. 10. 2024 10:16 CET 10 flash info (32 - Potty Maxime / Herman Renaud): It is very difficult, the first of today is difficult, this one the same. Not easy for me, I tried to reduce the gap but it is very difficult.
19. 10. 2024 10:16 CET 10 flash info (27 - Kremer Armin / Kremer Ella): Not easier, not the right decision for us. We lose a lot of time for braking. We are okay, we are happy at the moment. We are winning for the Masters Cup.
19. 10. 2024 10:16 CET 10 flash info (31 - Griebel Marijan / Braun Tobias): On the first one we've already tried, it was okay, here was a bit too dry. I hit an anticut device and I was lucky not to get a puncture. The next one could be more wet than this one.
19. 10. 2024 10:15 CET 10 flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Simple-ish morning, really, really struggling. We made a change then that seemed to be better. It was to do with the rollbar, need a lot of it here.
19. 10. 2024 10:15 CET 10 flash info (23 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): Not too bad, we spun in a hairpin but it's okay. Challenging conditions to get used to, but we're learning.
19. 10. 2024 10:14 CET 10 (23 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): spun
19. 10. 2024 10:14 CET 10 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): I brake maybe a bit too late, not too much, but immediately I lost grip. It's a mistake, for sure now we need to work for the future and discover every stage. It is not the same target for this weekend. It is the worst weekend of the year. We have a small problem with the differential and the brake also. At the start, it was not bad. I played with the car.
19. 10. 2024 10:06 CET 10 flash info (24 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): I was too careful after I spun on the last one. It was slippery! We are here, we have a lot of fun.
19. 10. 2024 10:06 CET 10 flash info (29 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): This one was easier for us because it was 70 percent dry and no fog, the previous one was 70 percent damp, it was hard for me with the slick tyres. We need to wait for others, go to the next stage and improve from the first one.
19. 10. 2024 10:05 CET 10 flash info (30 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): Difficult stage, it is much more damp than we though according to the information from the gravel crew. A few places, the grip was better than expected, but it was difficult to keep the pace.
19. 10. 2024 09:57 CET 10 flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I hit the grass, then went downhill, then tried to get up again. The car is so nervous, I struggled. Not the same feeling as yesterday. I wanted to drive. And Rossel? Again, karma is a b*tch. It doesn't matter for me, Pajari has an easy job in Japan.
19. 10. 2024 09:52 CET 10 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I love my gravel crew but it is again not working, everywhere where it was dry it was not dry, it seems to be moist. It is the same as the first stage. Even when I was watching the live, it is different to what I see.
19. 10. 2024 09:50 CET 10 (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): was out of road
19. 10. 2024 09:50 CET 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay, very tricky today. Much dirtier than expected and more dirty than yesterday surprisingly. It is what it is. Lots of cuts and anti cuts and they just pull out the dirt and we don't know how, it makes it challenging. We got through, we changed the setup a bit, I felt a bit better and we follow our plan. It is tricky, I didn't expect it but now we are in the rhythm.
19. 10. 2024 09:44 CET 10 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Little bit more consistent grip than the previous one, a little more enjoyable.
19. 10. 2024 09:41 CET 10 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Nothing went on. All good. I don't know why we lost time.
19. 10. 2024 09:39 CET 10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It feels very different from when the Gravel crew went through, I think the fog is bringing a lot of moisture. It was hard to know, in some places it said dry but it wasn't dry, it was very hard to judge. We'll let the guys behind be the judge of if I have done well.
19. 10. 2024 09:37 CET 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's okay, just okay. Nothing very special, should be impressive but we are just steady driving but no drama. AH, just one field, it was slippery, but we knew we were at the end so it is okay.
19. 10. 2024 09:37 CET 10 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It is just so hard to drive, but I should slow down more. Sometimes you feel it is okay, when the grip is okay it is okay. Sometimes you get something though. Not our rally definitely.
19. 10. 2024 09:37 CET 10 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): I saw some lines off the road again so seems like it is tricky also for the others.
19. 10. 2024 09:37 CET 10 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We were quite lucky, slippery braking, pulled the handbrake and I hit the kerb. I was checking for a puncture so we dropped the rhythm, but better to drop the rhythm than have a puncture.
19. 10. 2024 09:26 CET 10 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): It is more challenging stage. We don't have any power, it is like we don't have gust, so it is quite challenging. It is a nice stage. I don't know what is happening, we push and we have nothing coming.
19. 10. 2024 09:23 CET 10 (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): changing tyre
19. 10. 2024 09:22 CET 10 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): The tyres were good, much easier this stage. Everything should stay quite clean, lots more anticuts. There is not much for us to do today, just get through the stage, get some mileage and see what we can do.
19. 10. 2024 09:19 CET 10 (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): was out of road
19. 10. 2024 09:54 CET 9 (51 - Pahlitzsch Thomas / Grundmann Stefan): was out of road
19. 10. 2024 09:40 CET 9 (41 - Charpentier Tristan / Silvestre Corentin): was out of road
19. 10. 2024 09:01 CET 9 (24 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): was out of road
19. 10. 2024 08:57 CET 9 (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): changing tyre
19. 10. 2024 08:55 CET 9 retired (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): was out of road
19. 10. 2024 08:44 CET 9 Stage continues after 11 minutes.
19. 10. 2024 08:43 CET 9 flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Fourmaux's corner, same corner. Setup changes from yesterday, understeering. Every tight corner, handbrake, every junction, handbrake. It is unbelievable.
19. 10. 2024 08:43 CET 9 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): We are saying about the pace, it feels slow for me, but for this surface it is slippery. We didn't try to overbrake, we tried to stay calm. It is a different kind of surface.
19. 10. 2024 08:42 CET 9 (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): was out of road
19. 10. 2024 08:40 CET 9 Starting of stage was stopped after car no 30.
19. 10. 2024 08:40 CET 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Very sirty, very tricky so I have to take it steady in those conditions. It is very risky in there, I didn't want to make a mistake to open the day. I did what I have to do, let's see if it's the same on the later stages as it is much dirtier than expected.
19. 10. 2024 08:39 CET 9 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was not the best, but if we lose time it is never good. [The strategy is] to have one hard tyre. It's simple. It's damp now but no one knows how it will be in a couple of hours.
19. 10. 2024 08:39 CET 9 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The car feels better today than yesterday, extremely demanding conditions. Bit humid, but it's all wet, so it is a bit tricky. We tried to improve the balance. Very tricky with all the fog, let's see when we get to a clear road.
19. 10. 2024 08:39 CET 9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We need to do as well as possible, it is not easy in these conditions, we were hoping it would be more straightforward today.
19. 10. 2024 08:38 CET 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure, bit more pollution than expected. The guys in front touched a lot. Stayed on the road, nothing special.
19. 10. 2024 08:38 CET 9 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): My story is more simple, I was too careful in many places. I saw many lines off road, I don't know what has been going on but I guess it has been quite tricky. In some places there was a lot of grip and others not anymore, but I am trying to be clever anyway.
19. 10. 2024 08:22 CET 9 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We have a huge issue on the front differential that we realised on the road section, I have no drive on the front. It's like driving rear wheel drive all time, as soon as there is dirt it is hard to get it to go straight. It is undriveable. It's like rear wheel drive but only at the front, it is intermittent.
19. 10. 2024 08:22 CET 9 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's almost more wet than yesterday in some sections, the grip is changing a lot. Sometimes the beginning of the braking is horrendous and you think you are going to 20m and you go 50m from the apex.
19. 10. 2024 08:21 CET 9 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): Sometimes damp, foggy, but not so much so it is not catastrophic. Normally it is a sweeping stage, nice one.
19. 10. 2024 08:14 CET 9 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): Very tricky stage, changing grip all the time. Not so much the drive for today, looking for Sunday but still trying to keep some rhythm. I touched the rear left on the grass and it spun me around so lost a lot of time with that.
19. 10. 2024 08:11 CET 9 (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): was out of road
19. 10. 2024 08:06 CET 9 (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): spun
19. 10. 2024 07:54 CET 9 Weather on stage is foggy and cloudy, no rain, temperature around 8°C, roads are mixture of dry, damp and wet.
18. 10. 2024 18:12 CET 8 flash info (24 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): I am thinking only about my feeling, about the road, not the position. OK, we should be clever, becasuse we are fighting in WRC2 challenger too. My fault, we have no extra lights, we have them inside my car. We didn't put them on, it's my fault, in the forest we didn't see.
18. 10. 2024 18:10 CET 8 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I take it super easy in here, it is super dangerous stage. I am still not really confident with the grip on this, I take it slow. I tried to be smooth.
18. 10. 2024 18:09 CET 8 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): I am lucky to be here, I have a bit of hold on the corner at the beginning, so bad feeling when it is slippery. I put on my brake pedal, it is impossible to control the car. So, so difficult.
18. 10. 2024 18:09 CET 8 flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was probably the worst stage today, really bad driving and no confidence. I was way too careful, it is very slippery and easy to do a mistake. A good sunday anyway. We learn more tomorrow.
18. 10. 2024 18:09 CET 8 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): We did it! This one, there is a lot inside there. It is fast, little bit dirty, with the leaves and it is dark. We are happy.
18. 10. 2024 18:09 CET 8 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It is a tricky stage for sure, even with the road position on the second pass, it is impossible to do a good time on this one. We were watching Thierry and there were no leaves and we came and there were leaves. Sometimes you do not know what is under the leaves.
18. 10. 2024 18:08 CET 8 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): I would say it was tricky, definitely the most tricky one of the day. Otherwise the afternoon loop was better and the grip was more consistent. Otherwise, this one was really hard, especially in the forest where things were a bit more slippery.
18. 10. 2024 18:08 CET 8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Much better than this morning, much dryer, at least some grip. Drive through, didn't feel anything. Quite clever drive, some stages pushed, these kind of stages just backed off. Hopefully tomorrow an easier day, I'll do my best for tomorrow.
18. 10. 2024 18:08 CET 8 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It has been a really challenging day for us, not the style we wanted but it is rally and sometimes we are out the pace. Not the day that we wanted but tomorrow will be different and we will do our best.
18. 10. 2024 18:07 CET 8 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): A bit of a funny feeling towards the end, wasn't expecting to lose that much. A bit with the brakes, but nothing major.
18. 10. 2024 18:07 CET 8 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was driveable, this afternoon we couldn't drive. For some reason, we have a really bad split on the last one. We have had fun today. For sure we have to push tomorrow.
18. 10. 2024 18:07 CET 8 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I have no idea where I am, let's see where I am after this one. We have had at least a clean day, looking forward to the next one.
18. 10. 2024 18:07 CET 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am happy to be at the end. It is easy to make a mistake and I knew the only thing that was important to us was to make it to the end. Some spots are falling of rain, but it is quite greasy in there, we so played it safe and came through.
18. 10. 2024 18:10 CET 7 retired (48 - Schönborn Claire / Hain Jara): technical problem in SS 7
18. 10. 2024 17:12 CET 7 flash info (24 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): It's getting better and better, I tried to improve my car and myself. I tried to adapt my driving style to this surface. The car is improving, at the same time I want to be smooth. It is a hard lesson.
18. 10. 2024 17:12 CET 7 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Fastest? I was feeling quite okay, just the tyres overheated but this is for everyone because we need the tyre choice for all the stages, not only for this one.
18. 10. 2024 17:11 CET 7 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): It is a bit better, at the end of the stage I have the smile. It is a big improvement. I just sleep I think, I am a bit scared of the condition to do a mistake, for the team. Not an easy night last night but now I want to enjoy it and come back on the performance.
18. 10. 2024 17:11 CET 7 flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was okay, more grip than I expected. In a narrow bit in the middle I was way too careful. It's okay.
18. 10. 2024 17:11 CET 7 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): When the sunshine is coming for the Greek guys, it looks much better than this morning.
18. 10. 2024 17:10 CET 7 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): For sure it is way dryer, you can push a bit, even the tyres move near the end. You still have damp patches which make the car go off line, but nothing to worry about. The feeling with the car is a bit better so you can achieve more. Didn't change much, just the roll-bar, clicks and some small adjustments.
18. 10. 2024 17:10 CET 7 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Quite nice, the grip was much better than the morning but still some slippery places. I need to say it was not quite nice, still tricky. I would like to be more close to the perfect, but it was always like this. More fun.
18. 10. 2024 17:10 CET 7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is quite okay, I was very backed off, didn't push. I keep like this, it was a bit boring but I try and keep like this.
18. 10. 2024 17:10 CET 7 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): No hybrid, the shock was too heavy. Beginning of the season we were able to reset it but the rules have changed, it also happened in Greece. I did enjoy that stage, it was a nice feeling. The time is not coming but I am enjoying it. We have to wait for the service at the end. We changed clicks, bars, dampers.
18. 10. 2024 17:09 CET 7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It is much more dry than expected, looking at it now I would have fancied some hard tyres in here. But it's like that.
18. 10. 2024 17:09 CET 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We are just not fast enough, it was a clean stage but we are missing a bit of pace. The car feels nice to drive but we have to check.
18. 10. 2024 17:09 CET 7 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): For sure grip is higher and everything is more consistent. Not a great feeling but I try hard. We tried to shift the balance a bit.
18. 10. 2024 17:08 CET 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Was OK, but the road changed a lot between the gravel corridor, it was humid. Slowing down too much before the end, it was more reliable. No big change in service.
18. 10. 2024 14:55 CET 6 (54 - Vidueira Mireille / Rey Jeanne): was out of road
18. 10. 2024 14:07 CET 6 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): I need to do a reset for the moment, it is a bit complicated with the setup and the driving also. I had dust enter the car. I am here, we need to work on me. The most problematic is the driver.
18. 10. 2024 14:07 CET 6 flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It felt not so bad, I did some setup changes to try and learn new things. For sure, when it is slippery it takes some time to get back into it. When it is good grip it is better and better. I went softer in some areas and stiffer in others to try and get the balance with the setup.
18. 10. 2024 14:07 CET 6 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): That one was too clean compared to the previous one. I think it is the last one we enjoy today!
18. 10. 2024 14:06 CET 6 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Nothing to do with condition, this morning we were struggling as well, we found it a bit better. Something to do with the rear to give us the front end action.
18. 10. 2024 14:06 CET 6 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Quite nice, I am trying to enjoy especially on these stages. It is so clean and quite enjoyable. We are trying to step by step get quicker. The main thing is to be very clean. All of it is nice, somehow I like this stage anyway so it is not bad to do it three times.
18. 10. 2024 14:06 CET 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I enjoyed a lot, hopefully quite goos. Tough conditions but confident to push. Next two stages disaster! I don't think so [it is nice to do this three times], it is not so bumpy as this.
18. 10. 2024 14:05 CET 6 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It is really frustrating honestly, on the braking it is not stable, it is bumpy and the car is moving a lot. We tried many things on the road section to change a lot, but the car is difficult to drive. For sure the bumpy sections is where we struggle a lot. There is no grip on places. We are trying our best but it is not working.
18. 10. 2024 14:05 CET 6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's okay, the guys are a bit faster, still some work to do. The dirt on the last few corners, maybe there is something special, I don't know.
18. 10. 2024 14:05 CET 6 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Like racing a bit more now, some dirty corners. I enjoyed this one. This was still an awkward stage for us. On the previous one, it was same condition after a few cars. Still a long way to go.
18. 10. 2024 14:04 CET 6 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Not so muddy anymore. Still dreaming of good setup, so we'll see.
18. 10. 2024 14:04 CET 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We shouldn't do stages more than two times. I tried without taking risks in tricky places. It is hard to know what is the best setup in there, because it is bumpy and then it is super soft. I was on three times with the same setup in there.
18. 10. 2024 12:05 CET 6 Start will be delayed for 10 minutes.
18. 10. 2024 11:33 CET 5 Stage is cancelled.
18. 10. 2024 11:32 CET 5 Stage is stopped because car no. 9 is blocking the road.
18. 10. 2024 11:32 CET 5 retired (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): accident in SS 5
18. 10. 2024 11:31 CET 5 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): This was maybe even more challenging, it was not so consistent. Some of the sections really nice, the grip was high. There was clearly many places where the grip was too low, but its all about learning.
18. 10. 2024 11:29 CET 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Much more different now, lot of pollution and a lot of leaves, you don't know what is underneath. It is getting worse and worse, many surprises to be honest.
18. 10. 2024 11:29 CET 5 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I'm really struggling with the car all day, there are a lot of leaves in the forest and we cannot read the grip under the leaves and also - no hybrid! I am just going to keep going for the day.
18. 10. 2024 11:28 CET 5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was just difficult, there was a section in the middle of the leaves where it seemed you had no grip, but the leaves were everywhere so you couldn't read the road at all.
18. 10. 2024 11:28 CET 5 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I think this one was expected to get quite dirty from the front car. Mistake from me on the last junction where we lose a bit of time but that is my fault.
18. 10. 2024 11:28 CET 5 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Quite tricky in places, especially the forest where there were a few places with big surprise. Sometimes the damp is quite good, but sometimes you need to be careful in these places.
18. 10. 2024 11:27 CET 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I just slide a bit wide, grip is changing in every corner. With no car in front, it is hard to judge the grip. We are a bit careful, overall very tricky. We still struggle with the grip changes in these conditions.
18. 10. 2024 12:06 CET 4 (39 - Černý Jan / Krajča Ondřej): problems with brakes
18. 10. 2024 10:28 CET 4 flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I have absolutely no feeling, none at all. There is an understeer. We're going to have to try something different, we have no clue.
18. 10. 2024 10:26 CET 4 flash info (24 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): It's diffixult, hard to read the road. After long gap on the rallies in Tarmac, it is not easy on the slicks. But, there we go. Step by step.
18. 10. 2024 10:26 CET 4 (26 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): puncture
18. 10. 2024 10:25 CET 4 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I also struggle, yes we slide but I think this is for everyone. I was not really risking it, I just tried to be smooth. I was not expecting slip to be honest.
18. 10. 2024 10:25 CET 4 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): I have no feeling into the car, very strange situation. For me, I have no grip and I don't understand the reaction of the car.
18. 10. 2024 10:25 CET 4 flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Slippery, I had a few slides. You lose a lot of confidence in some places, some there is grip and nothing. I did the best I could with the confidence I have.
18. 10. 2024 10:25 CET 4 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Still struggling with understeer and we lost the hybrid on that jump. I cannot get the front turned in, if I cannot get it turned in we cannot go full throttle.
18. 10. 2024 10:24 CET 4 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): Lot more demanding, lost the hybrd midway through this stage. I was more on the careful side, not so sure how 'grippy' these cars are in these conditions. Hybrid loss was just after the landing.
18. 10. 2024 10:24 CET 4 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Quite tricky,not so big fog anymore but still quite challenging. Trying to be really clean. At least this loop, hybrid is not working. It is how it is.
18. 10. 2024 10:24 CET 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's okay, a bit trickier for sure. I backed off on the throttle, but all okay. If a world champion did it as well, then it's fine went wide.
18. 10. 2024 10:23 CET 4 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): On a jump, we wre losing the hybrid. I have no feeling at all with the car; it is a nightmare. It is so difficult to drive. The stage is tricky but the car doesn't like me.
18. 10. 2024 10:23 CET 4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Pretty difficult, can't say I am really happy with my run. Seems like we are not using all the grip available.
18. 10. 2024 10:22 CET 4 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Ah, yeah! We stopped so nothing happened. We lost a bit of time. Wasn't a good stage for me.
18. 10. 2024 10:22 CET 4 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Conditions can't be more different than previous. Somehow I struggle with the car. Very difficult rally.
18. 10. 2024 10:22 CET 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had no feeling for the grip, I was understeering massively throughut the stage. Many grip changes throughout the stage and I struggled to find the confidence after. Really struggled in the stage.
18. 10. 2024 09:24 CET 3 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I think the first part was really crazy but I think towards the end I keep it safe because it was quite slippery at the end.
18. 10. 2024 09:23 CET 3 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): I am just lucky, for sure it is a very hard moment. I missed a bit of concentration, I don't know why. If you make a mistake, you pay cash. I am lucky to be in the car, thanks to my team. It is just on the rear right, I have a strong car for sure.
18. 10. 2024 09:23 CET 3 flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was okay, a little bit too careful, a bit more grip than expected. Clean enough. Karma is a b*tch I guess. FIA don't want to give him a penalty because it was dusty or whatever they think. Apparently it was dusty, I think they need to look at it again and use some common sense. It doesn't matter for me. I just have fun and that's it.
18. 10. 2024 09:23 CET 3 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): Better start yes! Now I see something. When it is darker, it is difficult. You don't see a lot. It is about confidence as well.
18. 10. 2024 09:22 CET 3 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We made some chnages. There is improvement but still struggling in some places. The soft tyre on this stage is okay, but on the braking it is overheating very quickly.
18. 10. 2024 09:22 CET 3 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): It was a clean run, for sure some places could have been a bit faster but overall a good run. It is going to be a long day with tricky conditions, but it will be fun. It is a softer car, not quite as much transmission as before. But good fun.
18. 10. 2024 09:22 CET 3 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Around halfway through the stage, I lost hybrid for whatever reason, otherwise I had a good clean stage. Now we need to investigate how that happened.
18. 10. 2024 09:22 CET 3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): That's nice to hear! A bit of pollution, a lot of anticuts so it was not messy. Hopefully the next one is similar. I am happy so far.
18. 10. 2024 09:15 CET 3 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I don't know, I had a good stage and I don't know why we are too far off the pace. I took too much risk, or we are slow. I don't know.
18. 10. 2024 09:14 CET 3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I felt pretty okay, no dramas. Maybe Ogier is just brave in the final section.
18. 10. 2024 09:14 CET 3 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was a good one, not perfect, it is hard to make it perfect with a bumpy road and a couple of places where it is more slippery. But it is a good start.
18. 10. 2024 09:13 CET 3 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was better than last night, clean run, all good. Quite consistent conditions.
18. 10. 2024 09:12 CET 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a bit more slippery than yesterday evening, I struggled with understeer. Overall, probably the easiest stage of the day. It is definitely going to get more difficult. How much will the damage to the aero on the front right handicap you? We will see by the end of the day, it cannot be better for sure but it is not a disaster.
18. 10. 2024 08:49 CET 3 Weather in Klatovy is foggy, temperature around 7°C, roads are mostly dry.
17. 10. 2024 20:13 CET 2 retired (45 - Šekuljica Slaven / Petrović Damir): technical problem in SS 2
17. 10. 2024 20:04 CET 2 (45 - Šekuljica Slaven / Petrović Damir): was out of road
17. 10. 2024 20:04 CET 2 (51 - Pahlitzsch Thomas / Grundmann Stefan): was out of the road
17. 10. 2024 19:22 CET 2 flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was okay, quite a lot slipper towards the end. There was a lot of places where there was mud and stuff pulled out on the road, think a few people may have had issues in places but there we go.
17. 10. 2024 19:22 CET 2 flash info (24 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): It's slippery! And bumpy. When I don't know where it is, I don't like. We are happy. See you tomorrow.
17. 10. 2024 19:21 CET 2 flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It was good, I like this kind of stage. It was scary and demanding. Sorry for Rossel.
17. 10. 2024 19:21 CET 2 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): I don't know how that happened.
17. 10. 2024 19:21 CET 2 (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): puncture
17. 10. 2024 19:20 CET 2 (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): was out of road
17. 10. 2024 19:16 CET 2 flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I was wide in a few corners, there was some pollution or very slippery places that I did not expect. The car was so bumpy in there, bouncing everywhere. Difficult to find the confidence.
17. 10. 2024 19:16 CET 2 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): Difficult stage, in the night the grip is changing all the time and it is dirty in places you don't think it is dirty. Quite difficult.
17. 10. 2024 19:16 CET 2 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's difficult, the last part is a bit more slippery. There is like a small dust on top of the Tarmac. Not feeling comfortable with the car right now, it is still enjoyable in the car but in order to push you need to trust the car. We have quite a lot of understeer, in the corner you need to turn the front and the rest will follow.
17. 10. 2024 19:15 CET 2 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): Now is the first time I enjoyed driving the car on Tarmac, I changed a lot on the test. It was really enjoyable to drive, it didn't feel like I was pushing, everything was controlled. It was a nice feeling. I tried to copy [Neuville] and [Tänak], but because I wasn't in the car much, it didn't work for me. I made the car more forgiving and I am happy now.
17. 10. 2024 19:15 CET 2 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): At the same time it is really nice and quite demanding. Obviously I enjoyed it but there are a lot of places I am not perfect, missing braking points and too careful. I can't wait for tomorrow.
17. 10. 2024 19:15 CET 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Time is very good. I didn't poush so much but enjoying this car a lot. This car is fantastic. OK, it was getting darker and darker all the time, but all the pace note information is going well. I need to be a bit steady tomorrow as it is the biggest day of the rally, but I am steady.
17. 10. 2024 19:15 CET 2 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was really dark for us, nice feeling as we always like to drive in the dark. Bit of changing grip to be fair, I like to drive in the dark. Sometimes it is difficult to see the length on the corner.
17. 10. 2024 19:14 CET 2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Some places, really low grip but others quite a lot. It's always nice to do some driving in the dark, it doesn't happen so often anymore but it is great.
17. 10. 2024 19:14 CET 2 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Pretty slippery, the stage quite dusty. All okay, nothing special. It is often like this on a Thursday, tomorrow will be more action.
17. 10. 2024 19:13 CET 2 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was a bit more interesting than expected, many more grip changes and quite tricky braking. People still see something, it is light where the light doesn't show and difficult to see.
17. 10. 2024 19:13 CET 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I can't be happy to be honest, I took off the aero in the front right by stupidly touching a straw bale. I didn't know but it will handicap me for the whole morning tomorrow. Even here, we touched some, but we have nothing to lose anymore, it is gone already.
17. 10. 2024 19:12 CET 2 Stage is completely dry.
17. 10. 2024 16:55 CET 1 (54 - Vidueira Mireille / Rey Jeanne): was out of road
17. 10. 2024 16:48 CET 1 (51 - Pahlitzsch Thomas / Grundmann Stefan): was out of road
17. 10. 2024 16:45 CET 1 retired (50 - Wilson Conor / Curran Darren): broken wheel in SS 1
17. 10. 2024 16:44 CET 1 flash info (45 - Šekuljica Slaven / Petrović Damir): We hit some problems, with the handbrake. We will resolve it after today's loop. It will be better.

17. 10. 2024 10:12 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (25 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Just focus on Japan, try and get a good feeling for there and see how it goes. The shakedown is not really like the rally so we'll see.
17. 10. 2024 10:06 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (24 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): The break between last rally and this one on the Tarmac is the biggest challenge!. For me, it is always good! I like Tarmac, but I do not have big experience on the Tarmac surface in this car. I want to focus on my job and find a good feeling.
17. 10. 2024 10:05 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): This stage was difficult to judge, it is a completely different one from the race itself. It is like Spain maybe. Just drive through to see that the car is working well and it is fine.

17. 10. 2024 10:04 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It's important to get back into Tarmac, I haven't done any since Monte Carlo. It is a bit weird, but it is good to get back into practice for it for next year.
17. 10. 2024 10:04 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): The last time we drove this fast with the Puma is two years ago. To be fast, it changed. We are happy to be with the M-Sport guys.
17. 10. 2024 10:04 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We were expecting a lot of cuts, mud and tricky conditions like we enjoy. I don't think it is gonna be the case this weekend, but it is unbelievable. Not the most representative shakedown, we are way too soft on this one.
17. 10. 2024 10:02 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): It's been a long time, not easy to come back and get on a level driving with these guys. I will do my best for the team, we will push harder than we did in Monte Carlo and Croatia. I feel I have had a lot of time in the car now. We are looking forward to it.
17. 10. 2024 10:02 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Amazing! It is sad it ended so fast. It is so damn amazing to be on this kind of Tarmac with this car, it is so nice, so much grip, it is so nice in every way.

17. 10. 2024 09:45 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was a bit new experience to skip a rally, everything is good. Hope the weather is going to be like this, I'm going to enjoy and do my best for the team this weekend.
17. 10. 2024 09:43 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's gonna be a challenging rally, last year the conditions were crazy. Seems to be different this year, the weather is a bit more sunny. Two rallies in one, with the Friday and the Saturday. It will be a unique rally to follow.
17. 10. 2024 09:42 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Conditons should be a little bit different, nonetheless challenging. Friday is a bit more bumpy, bit more undulating. Saturday has it's own character, it is a bit more clean than last year.
17. 10. 2024 09:42 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I am enjoying it, that's always the plan to have fun in the car.

17. 10. 2024 09:42 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Important weekend for the world championship, we definitely need to do our best. Weather wise, it looks more consistent. I guess the Czech stages will be the most demanding.
