Information

Date and time SS Information
21. 04. 2024 20:50 CET 20 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): 100? Nice number so happy with that for sure. We knew coming here start position would be an issue and it would be difficult. We never gave up and kept the pressure on for the whole weekend. I've never had so many moments in one rally! It's good to get the win for the team. Who would have thought 100 podiums 15 years ago? Nice to see that we still have some speed.
21. 04. 2024 20:49 CET 20 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's a feeling of disappointment with the spin and the tyre choice. It's not ideal but you have to be in it to try, it's been a good weekend but disappointed with today.
21. 04. 2024 20:49 CET 20 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is what it is. Great few days but unfortunately today didn't go well. We took 19 points from the weekend. We had wanted to push hard in the Wolf Power Stage but without the rear wing it's undriveable.
21. 04. 2024 20:49 CET 20 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): You can do more, really missing the confidence, I've definitely been fighting again but we don't get the feeling to go fast and we had some moments in the first pass so we were cautious. Now we are going to gravel so we can get our confidence hopefully, but it has been tough on asphalt.
21. 04. 2024 20:48 CET 20 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Too many surprises on the first pass so I was too careful throughout the stage, I didn't want to finish like this but it's good to finish the rally and some points for the team hopefully.
21. 04. 2024 20:48 CET 20 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): I was expecting a lot better, today was not too bad but we're missing that really good feeling to push and was hoping it would come. Every braking in this stage this morning I was scared the dip was opening, but I shouldn't have been worried.
21. 04. 2024 20:48 CET 20 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's a bit frustrating when you aren't fighting with the others but we wanted a trouble free event for this weekend, we can be happy with our season.
21. 04. 2024 20:48 CET 20 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We have been pushing quite hard, I can still improve in some places. It's a shame, one small mistake this rally, but it's good to get the experience on asphalt, really good performance. More points in the bag for the championship.
21. 04. 2024 20:47 CET 20 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It feels really nice especially with all the work we did before the event, thank you for the team, they never slow me down they keep me up and keep me pushing, especially my co-driver because these stages are hard to read. To my family and my whole crew, thank you. I have this pace all the time, I just need to get like this more usual. I need to remember this feeling. Overall, I'm happy! I just need to relax a little bit.
21. 04. 2024 20:47 CET 20 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It's good for the team, for me I am happy and it's not bad. The feeling is strange all the weekend however, lots of mistakes with strategy, tyre choice, co-driver. But we are a team and we are together.
21. 04. 2024 20:47 CET 20 flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): That was the plan to stay ahead of Greensmith, obviously I was pushing like crazy in the beginning, we hit maybe one or two stones. We made it through and I gave it everything. There was a vibration in the car at the end, so maybe something isn't perfect anymore.
21. 04. 2024 20:46 CET 20 flash info (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The second split, I was completely out of control for the entirety but it was "on the limit" out of control. Whew, that was fast! A good weekend if you forget about the punctures. The stages here are always a highlight especially when you get to push.
21. 04. 2024 20:46 CET 20 flash info (21 - López José María / Vázquez David): Thank you, it was difficult for us on the first pass. We are happy and proud and it's good for the championship.
21. 04. 2024 20:46 CET 20 flash info (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): This year I only do fourth place! Not a bad weekend, Friday morning wasn't great but other than that it's a good rally. We did our best with the team to get the most out of the car, for sure the result is a bit disappointing but we did a good job with the car.
21. 04. 2024 20:46 CET 20 Starting order: Ciamin, López, Greensmith, Pajari, Rossel, Gryazin, Fourmaux, Munster, Mikkelsen, Katsuta, Tänak, Neuville, Evans, Ogier
21. 04. 2024 20:44 CET 19 flash info (26 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): It's a really nice stage, at the beginning it's a wide road and an enjoyable drive, the last part was quite messy but we don't give up and try to finish in a good position.
21. 04. 2024 20:44 CET 19 flash info (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): The gap is a bit too big now, we're just playing with the pace notes in case we come back next year. Now I want to finish.
21. 04. 2024 20:44 CET 19 flash info (21 - López José María / Vázquez David): There was more grip this time, understanding the car a lot more. We were trying on the road section to get a feeling with this kind of road and we did a good job.
21. 04. 2024 20:44 CET 19 flash info (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): For sure, there's not much else to race for so I might as well try and get third. I was wide on a couple of corners.
21. 04. 2024 20:43 CET 19 flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): This all depends how Greensmith is on the splits, I tried to be quick anyway. It was quite a nice run.
21. 04. 2024 20:43 CET 19 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): The plan is to stay like that, take the points. This morning was a crazy stage but the gap is too much. Usually I am the asphalt king here? The king is dead! Gryazin has driven really well, I will let him have it for the moment.
21. 04. 2024 20:42 CET 19 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The helmet is nice! I have every person on it. We are in safe mode now, we're trying to enjoy and not do stupid things.
21. 04. 2024 20:42 CET 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): There's nothing we can do now, no rear wing and no hybrid. The car is undriveable. It's frustrating to be honest. Drivers and co-drivers make mistakes as well, but it's disappointing.
21. 04. 2024 20:42 CET 19 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm not super happy with my stage, but it was so dirty and so difficult to judge. We've got to try and see what is possible. I'm not sure if I can afford Seb's idea of a lot of money!
21. 04. 2024 20:42 CET 19 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): We did a mistake again in this stage, another difficult one for us. I understeered two corners at the start. Could you lose it Evans? Of course if you pay a lot! May the best man win, that's what sport should be.
21. 04. 2024 20:41 CET 19 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Clean stage, no mistake. The road is dirty.
21. 04. 2024 20:41 CET 19 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I'm trying to save the tyres for the Power Stage, I was slow in this one but I'm gonna have a push in the next one. We have fixed everything and the car is perfect.
21. 04. 2024 20:41 CET 19 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I'm pushing like hell to get the points for the team, I didn't do a great job on the last two days.
21. 04. 2024 20:41 CET 19 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): I adjusted my notes a little bit, so it was better. I struggle to commit when there is gravel on the road to adjust the car, I slip a bit. Not where I want to be.
21. 04. 2024 20:40 CET 19 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We worked hard with the car in the cuts, it is very dirty in the last section. We can always enjoy the stage in these cars.
21. 04. 2024 20:40 CET 18 flash info (57 - Maior Norbert / Maior Francesca): We had some problem, yesterday was water on my windscreen, now we have oil so we need to manage and stay on the safe side of using the car. We're just trying to manage the car and see what the problem is.
21. 04. 2024 20:39 CET 18 flash info (44 - Chatillon Mattéo / Cornuau Maxence): I am happy to be here, I think this is the hardest stage of my life, there is zero grip!
21. 04. 2024 20:39 CET 18 flash info (45 - Kohn Filip / Woodburn Tom): It was quite a push from us, really enjoyed the stage and remembered it from last year, so we tried to enjoy the stage.
21. 04. 2024 20:39 CET 18 flash info (56 - Gill Taylor / Brkic Daniel): That was extremelty difficult, really we had to get through. I felt like I was driving down to the shops on a Sunday morning. So muddy and really difficult, we definitely underestimated it.
21. 04. 2024 20:39 CET 18 flash info (50 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): It was crazy, even driving as slow as I did it was surprising in places. On one side of the road you have mud and on other sides you don't, but we have to focus on bringing it home.
21. 04. 2024 20:38 CET 18 flash info (43 - Vossen Henk / Stupers Wim): This is the most tricky stage I have done, it's even trickier with the dirt on the road.
21. 04. 2024 20:38 CET 18 flash info (40 - Marchino Filippo / Ometto Pietro Elia): Very close to off-roading, especially in the beginning. It's narrow, it's slippery, it's slick. I've gone through seven tyres this rally so far, which is incredible. I did watch the coverage and it gave me a sense of self preservation. We're doing OK, we're surviving.
21. 04. 2024 20:38 CET 18 flash info (41 - Brazzoli Enrico / Musiari Martina): It was a very tricky stage, very slippery. Not a good feeling but two stages left, so I smile.
21. 04. 2024 20:37 CET 18 flash info (36 - Kogure Hikaru / Luhtinen Topi): I agree with Yamamoto, it's challenging and narrow, but good to get lots of experience.
21. 04. 2024 20:37 CET 18 flash info (28 - Miele Mauro / Beltrame Luca): I go out in the grass, but nothing happened. Yesterday, I lost a wheel so now is not a big problem.
21. 04. 2024 20:36 CET 18 flash info (30 - Yamamoto Yuki / Salminen Marko): This is definitely the most difficult stage I have ever done, just need more time to get used to it but it is good.
21. 04. 2024 20:36 CET 18 flash info (35 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): I think this is the tricky stage I have ever done on asphalt, we paid a lot of attention and didn't take any risks. Where it was only gravel, we slowed down.
21. 04. 2024 20:36 CET 18 flash info (27 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): We just lost something in there, so we need to go out now and see what we can do.
21. 04. 2024 20:36 CET 18 flash info (34 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Listerud Jørn): That was like a proper rollercoaster, so slippery and the guys in front made huge lines. I'm sorry for Lauri, he's had a really good rally and it was a good fight.
21. 04. 2024 20:35 CET 18 flash info (26 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): I don't exactly know, there was a front right puncture but I don't know where we got this. We had to change on the stage.
21. 04. 2024 20:35 CET 18 flash info (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): One of the most difficult stages I have done in my life, really difficult to know where it's dirty and where it's clean. The first time you do it is very difficult.
21. 04. 2024 20:35 CET 18 flash info (21 - López José María / Vázquez David): It's like a rollercoaster, first time on this stage is really crazy. Let's see for the second loop.
21. 04. 2024 20:34 CET 18 (26 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): puncture
21. 04. 2024 20:34 CET 18 flash info (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I wanted this stage to be the one that I pushed on to take time out of Sami Pajari. This stage is one of my favourites. Bit mental, isn't it?
21. 04. 2024 20:34 CET 18 flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): I think everyone is having moments, at least in the beginning there was so many lines on the road, I'm not sure who this was. We're just happy to be here.
21. 04. 2024 20:33 CET 18 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It is very difficult, lots of difficult sections with the mud and the grip is just not there.
21. 04. 2024 20:33 CET 18 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): After a corner I snapped the steering arm, sometimes it bends, sometimes it breaks. This time it breaks. We need to secure some points today so we need to regroup and look forward to the Power Stage.
21. 04. 2024 20:33 CET 18 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Difficult. The first km, we go slowly, we go up! Next, we go slowly, we go up. This stage, I lose, no problem. So easy to make a mistake.
21. 04. 2024 20:33 CET 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): There was a lot of corners, when I got the pace note it was far too late. We lost 20sec to Ogier so... It's a shame, because everything was going well.
21. 04. 2024 20:32 CET 18 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Just a slippery place, hit the rear hard on the left and it just took off and spun the car unfortunately. The car is OK.
21. 04. 2024 20:32 CET 18 (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): spun
21. 04. 2024 20:31 CET 18 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Very easy to make a mistake in there, we saw Fourmaux in there, we are just fighting really.
21. 04. 2024 20:31 CET 18 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): was out of road
21. 04. 2024 20:31 CET 18 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Moment? It was more than a moment! It was far off, but luckily, we're all OK. Big opening in the braking. It was quite early in the stage, some 3-4km.
21. 04. 2024 20:30 CET 18 (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): hit the anticut and damaged the wheel
21. 04. 2024 20:30 CET 18 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We tried a few things that didn't work so well, we didn't feel so good in the car but we'll fix this for the second pass.
21. 04. 2024 20:30 CET 18 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): It's a very particular stage, not an easy one. Really starting not to trust the rear properly, having a few unsteady moments and it is stepping out all the time. We had many moments but we got through.
21. 04. 2024 20:29 CET 18 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's a crazy stage, it was really difficult in Rally2 but in Rally1 every corner is jumping! Louis is doing his best, he is not breathing from start to finish. It's so fast I hope we do a good result for Rich Millener and that he is happy today, so we can party tonight.
21. 04. 2024 21:57 CET 17 retired (24 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): retired after SS 17
21. 04. 2024 20:29 CET 17 flash info (26 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): It felt quite slippery with the hard tyres, I didn't expect that. Last part was smooth, I didn't expect that. Bit of a battle, but we'll see.
21. 04. 2024 20:28 CET 17 flash info (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): We had a spin in the first left hairpin just after the start, it was very dirty but I couldn't go slower. We lost 5.0sec there. No confidence with the car and no grip at all.
21. 04. 2024 20:28 CET 17 flash info (21 - López José María / Vázquez David): Not too good, I did a mistake with the setup, changing the springs and I'm not sure if it's working here. We can try to find something, but there is no general feeling.
21. 04. 2024 20:28 CET 17 flash info (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The car felt absolutely awful, we made a change and I don't know why I agreed to it. It's to do with the stiffness.
21. 04. 2024 20:28 CET 17 flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): No moments so far, really clean run. I think the time is quite fine, it's OK.
21. 04. 2024 20:27 CET 17 (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): spun
21. 04. 2024 20:27 CET 17 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It's a clean stage, not easy with a soft tyre. Let's see for the next, hopefully no mistake.
21. 04. 2024 20:27 CET 17 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): We have to keep the position, that's the target. Just trying to drive slow with no mistakes.
21. 04. 2024 20:27 CET 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We have different tyre choices, this one will be really dirty on the second pass. For the next one I think we have better tyres. It's okay, it's a dirty road in the morning and we lose a bit of time, but we're gonna push hard.
21. 04. 2024 20:26 CET 17 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): After some of the other guys the road is getting very polluted, it was a good run from us. I'm not sure who has the best tyre strategy, let's wait and see.
21. 04. 2024 20:26 CET 17 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): The stage is getting very dirty like we expected, not the ideal stage for us. Not the perfect feeling.
21. 04. 2024 20:26 CET 17 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Nothing happened in there all OK, it was full gravel so a little bit sketchy. If I push a bit I go straight.
21. 04. 2024 20:25 CET 17 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The points we had to take was yesterday, now we're only focussed on Super Sunday. We'll see if the others lose time. I had a good stage.
21. 04. 2024 20:25 CET 17 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I'm pretty surprised already, lots of pollution and quite slippery especially at the end of the stage. Overall, quite good.
21. 04. 2024 20:25 CET 17 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): I tried to start driving fast but because my pace was aggressive in some corners, I tried an old style towards the end. Clean enough stage, tried to get heat into my hard tyres. We were a bit on the limit.
21. 04. 2024 20:25 CET 17 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's a clean drive, bit of slippery asphalt in some sections. In the last few metres there is a bit of gravel in the cuts so I tried to have a good drive and make it very dirty for the others!
21. 04. 2024 20:24 CET 17 With no rain expected throughout the stage today and less of a slippery surface expected in the stage.
21. 04. 2024 21:55 CET 16 retired (28 - Miele Mauro / Beltrame Luca): lost wheel after SS 16
21. 04. 2024 20:24 CET 16 retired (30 - Yamamoto Yuki / Salminen Marko): accident in SS 16
21. 04. 2024 20:23 CET 16 (27 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): was out of road
21. 04. 2024 20:23 CET 16 flash info (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): Very nice stage but very demanding, quite a lot of impacts with the [bottom] of the car, quite fast but a lot of commitment. A challenge to enjoy, a good stage from us. For us, it's been a good day, all the stages were good and we are very pleased with our day. We've made some changes with the car, but just little ones. Sometimes López is faster, sometimes I am, but we will try to catch him.
21. 04. 2024 20:22 CET 16 flash info (21 - López José María / Vázquez David): Went OK, tried to go through the stage because tomorrow is an important day. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
21. 04. 2024 20:22 CET 16 flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It was a bit slippy, but OK. Nothing happened. I'm a bit upset I lost some time in there, but it is what it is. The moment was quite big.
21. 04. 2024 20:22 CET 16 flash info (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): In the morning it was rubbish, three punctures, in the afternoon I made a bad tyre call but that's on me. Not an ideal day.
21. 04. 2024 20:22 CET 16 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I have a problem with the timecard before the start, I think this is my mistake.
21. 04. 2024 20:21 CET 16 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It was good, there were stages I kept the rhythm back like the first two stages. They weren't my stages I think, I made some risky moments and lost time so I need to work more on that. Overall it's OK, we still have the fight.
21. 04. 2024 20:21 CET 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had a great day, despite the tyre choice this afternoon we were able to defend first place and now Wydaeghe needs to open the wallet! We need to keep attacking, maintain the feeling and make the right tyre choice. The weather wasn't so easy to judge today, but we'll see for tomorrow.
21. 04. 2024 20:21 CET 16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been good fun, it's been a good day, good driving. Couldn't quite follow Thierry, it didn't quite work out. Just keep driving, hopefully make some good tyre decisions and try our best.
21. 04. 2024 20:20 CET 16 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): All day we tried to push as much as we could, it wasn't enough but it was a good day for me in the car. All the gap needs to be is just to see a minus in front. The gap is unfortunately from yesterday and that was expected before coming here, but we're going to try again tomorrow.
21. 04. 2024 20:20 CET 16 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Much higher grip now than the previous pass, it was quite straightforward, I was expecting it to be much more complicated.
21. 04. 2024 20:20 CET 16 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We've been fighting with Tänak for the past two days, it's been positive fighting with a world champion. I wanted to beat him, we are a bit behind, but we can be positive.
21. 04. 2024 20:20 CET 16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Much better than yesterday, little bit happier than yesterday. I wanted to perform like this. I'm still trying to improve myself, maybe tomorrow is the target for me.
21. 04. 2024 20:19 CET 16 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): On this stage the tyres were delaminating, I felt the vibrations and saw it was on the limit. Tried not to slide but it was the hard tyres, so not sure why it did that.
21. 04. 2024 20:19 CET 16 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We were expecting rain all day and it never really came. In the morning we had two softs and this afternoon two hard. It just doesn't bite with the asphalt. First on the road is not bad as we weren't pulling out a lot, but there is a lot of cuts. It is better being behind.
21. 04. 2024 20:19 CET 15 flash info (30 - Yamamoto Yuki / Salminen Marko): As we all know, it is a really tricky one. Luckily we didn't have rain so far, but we've learned a lot and that is why we are here.
21. 04. 2024 20:19 CET 15 flash info (37 - Kremer Armin / Kremer Ella): I think we are in good form, the times for us are good. We will see for the last stage and we'll hope that we go on leading into the night for the Masters Cup.
21. 04. 2024 20:18 CET 15 flash info (27 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): On SS12 we took a small field visit, got the car in a rut and bounced out into the field. Big thanks to the guys for fixing the car.
21. 04. 2024 20:18 CET 15 flash info (35 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): I am very happy, we improved a b it. I don't know the time but the feeling was much better. We are happy because we are improving step by step. Luckily it didn't rain!
21. 04. 2024 20:17 CET 15 flash info (34 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Listerud Jørn): We made a difficult tyre choice and suffered a bit this afternoon. I haven't done a tarmac rally in 11 years, so it's not too bad!
21. 04. 2024 20:17 CET 15 flash info (26 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): The soft one is better, but we will try to do something different. This stage was not the best, we thought we have a puncture but we don't have one!
21. 04. 2024 20:17 CET 15 flash info (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): Not great for me, the hard compound I can't use, it's too hard for me this weekend. Good stage, we enjoyed and we pushed. The asphalt is so smooth and the grip is so low.
21. 04. 2024 20:17 CET 15 flash info (21 - López José María / Vázquez David): Much better, I can feel the car more than in the first stage of the loop. The tyres feel better too.
21. 04. 2024 20:16 CET 15 flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It was quite fun, a nice stage. I was a bit too slow in the beginning so I was trying to improve close to the end. I think it was quite OK.
21. 04. 2024 20:16 CET 15 flash info (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It wasn't so easy to be fair, I wasn't quite sure how fast we could go on the first pass. Good rhythm, not many mistakes.
21. 04. 2024 20:16 CET 15 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): The strategy is not the same tyres as him. On these stages I lose a little bit of time, but on the last one it's perfect. Still hopeful for first place? Let's see.
21. 04. 2024 20:15 CET 15 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The stage is good. Unfortunately it is how it is so we need to focus on the next stage and then do the job tomorrow.
21. 04. 2024 20:15 CET 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am enjoying it but it's on the edge. It's fun, one more stage to go. The fight is going to continue so no mistakes and a clean run through.
21. 04. 2024 20:15 CET 15 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We're doing what we can, it's part of the game. It was a good run but we missed a couple of key areas, could've given more than we'd like to. The soft tyres were soft.
21. 04. 2024 20:15 CET 15 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): The last stage, we were waiting for rain the whole day. It could still happen on the last one, let's see! Nice clean run.
21. 04. 2024 20:14 CET 15 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's important to get through now, we are not fighting for anything. I don't know, we will find out now about the weather.
21. 04. 2024 20:14 CET 15 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Fairly nice stage to drive to be honest, there was not so much dirt on the road. The weather is playing a game with us, it's really difficult.
21. 04. 2024 20:14 CET 15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The stage was more dirty than this morning so we need to respect this. Obviously we have quite good tyre choice too. Still need to improve, but step by step it's coming.
21. 04. 2024 20:14 CET 15 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): There was a bit more gravel but very dry, I made changes to my pace notes after the first loop where I could go faster. A clean stage.
21. 04. 2024 20:14 CET 15 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It was OK, the temperature is a bit low but the road is completely dry, the slippery asphalt makes it difficult to get the grip from the tyres. But it was a good clean stage.
21. 04. 2024 20:13 CET 14 flash info (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): Maybe López has some hard tyres on the car, we had a good tyre choice. Struggling with the grip, not a great stage but not a bad stage.
21. 04. 2024 20:13 CET 14 flash info (21 - López José María / Vázquez David): I think we struggled with our tyres, it didn't rain, but that's a lottery.
21. 04. 2024 20:13 CET 14 flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Already quite slippery close to the end, raining a bit more so quite difficult. The soft tyre was OK in the beginning, then the hard was better, then the soft. Hard to say, we're just trying to go through.
21. 04. 2024 20:12 CET 14 flash info (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): To be honest the first half wasn't so bad, definitely made the wrong tyre choice with the three hards. It started raining more towards the end so we'll just have to see how the others get on.
21. 04. 2024 20:12 CET 14 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I hope a little bit more rain falls. The plan is to do no mistakes, but I want to keep the pressure for the moment.
21. 04. 2024 20:12 CET 14 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): We are different tyre choices, maybe I made a mistake in this one. We have a gap. I tried my best but these mistakes are killing everything.
21. 04. 2024 20:12 CET 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know, I went flat out. When we found out there could be rain at the end, we just went flat out. It looks like we didn't have the optimal tyre choice so far, but we're going to try hard.
21. 04. 2024 20:12 CET 14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's pretty tricky in there and I didn't have the best feeling to be honest.
21. 04. 2024 20:11 CET 14 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Has the rain had an effect on me? Not that much, but it started to affect us a little bit. Very hard to know what is happening to the weather. The grip is changing often.
21. 04. 2024 20:11 CET 14 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): If the rain is dropping like this there is no effect on the stages. Let's see what happens with the next ones, we prefer it without the rain.
21. 04. 2024 20:11 CET 14 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The first few kms were damp so not easy for the confidence, but other than that it was okay.
21. 04. 2024 20:10 CET 14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): A bit more hard damp on the beginning of the stage, it's drying up a lot. We were very quick for sure, good feeling with the car. I'm quite happy with these stages.
21. 04. 2024 20:10 CET 14 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): Yeah we understeered a bit, arrived a bit too quickly and there was a lot of gravel. I was way too careful in the beginning because it was damp and I was on the hards and I kept braking. It's driving well though, it's definitely more about the driving now.
21. 04. 2024 20:10 CET 14 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): The rain that was in the first stage passed this stage too so the first 5km is a bit damp. You have to trust the damp, from 5km to the end it's much better for sure.
21. 04. 2024 20:10 CET 14 The sky remains cloudy and damp patches are blotted throughout the stage. Rain was reportedly lightly falling prior to the stage getting underway.

21. 04. 2024 20:08 CET 13 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It's not bad, my feeling is not bad, we have soft tyres on the car. The feeling is good.
21. 04. 2024 20:08 CET 13 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): From the videos of live TV, we tried to go with the hards. I was hoping it would be dry and this choice would pay off but unfortunately it was wet and I understeered a lot, I was waiting for the grip so much. This one is super difficult.
21. 04. 2024 20:08 CET 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Obviously they're on different tyres, I pushed very hard and tried to carry on, I knew we were losing time but we limited the time loss. It'll be difficult to bring it back.
21. 04. 2024 20:07 CET 13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I don't know if the tyre choice will pay off, it's very difficult to predict. We'll just have to wait and see.
21. 04. 2024 20:07 CET 13 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): So far, so good! But it is a four stage loop. A bit of rain affecting the middle of the road there. We don't know if it is going to hit the stage.
21. 04. 2024 20:07 CET 13 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It started to really rain, I had hards on the front and they heated up, I had a moment where I just lost it.
21. 04. 2024 20:07 CET 13 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I'm not happy, I don't understand how we can be so bad. We have a lot of data and yet we cannot make the good tyre choice, it's so disappointing. We have what we have, anyway.
21. 04. 2024 20:07 CET 13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Really tricky, a few corners like the ones under the trees are OK because you have grip, the other corners not so good because you don't have grip. Otherwise it went okay.
21. 04. 2024 20:06 CET 13 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): I thought I had a puncture in the beginning because the car was acting weird and moving about, but it didn't get any worse. Not very happy with the stage, when the rain started coming I was cautious with the hard tyres.
21. 04. 2024 20:06 CET 13 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We expected rain in the morning and there was none, so I thought we should be more aggressive this afternoon, but it started to rain on the stopline. It was still OK on the hard compound.
21. 04. 2024 19:59 CET 13 Rain has been edging closer to the stages since the morning loop, meaning grip throughout the afternoon loop could be at an all-time low. Brief rain has been reported by our staff at the start line.
21. 04. 2024 19:59 CET 12 (27 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): was out of road
21. 04. 2024 19:59 CET 12 flash info (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): Slightly better, but we hit a huge stone in the cut, a blind stone. Front left, I don't know if we have a puncture but it felt like a big impact. The feeling was very strange.
21. 04. 2024 19:58 CET 12 (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): puncture
21. 04. 2024 19:58 CET 12 flash info (21 - López José María / Vázquez David): I'm trying to be more confident as we enter service and hope for the best for the afternoon loop.
21. 04. 2024 19:58 CET 12 flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It was a nice stage, the car seems to be working nicely and I have a good flow. It's really clean and I am enjoying it a lot.
21. 04. 2024 19:58 CET 12 flash info (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was a left that had a cut in, I felt a bang and it didn't feel like much but it was clearly enough.
21. 04. 2024 19:58 CET 12 (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): puncture
21. 04. 2024 19:57 CET 12 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): On the left corner, there is a cut and a big rock. I don't know. It's like that.
21. 04. 2024 19:56 CET 12 (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): puncture
21. 04. 2024 19:56 CET 12 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): This was a slippery stage, we knew that it would be slippery here. We just need to not be on the pushing side. So easy to make the mistake, cuts are prominent. I have something to do with the driving style on the longer stages.
21. 04. 2024 19:55 CET 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Quite a decent stage, the onboard must be really cool. We had a better tyre management of the loop and kept good profiles of the tyres. My friend said before the rally that this stage is 9.11km, so if we win it twice he will buy a Porsche 911! We had great tyre management.
21. 04. 2024 19:55 CET 12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Really slippery, wasn't so happy with my run to be honest, killing the speed.
21. 04. 2024 19:54 CET 12 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): The wet tyre is there because I had another one losing the tread, I didn't want to risk a puncture here.
21. 04. 2024 19:54 CET 12 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The right side, I hit on the second stage, it was more about tyre wear on this stage as we are really on the limit here.
21. 04. 2024 19:54 CET 12 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We are still really close but we had an engine issue in this one, we had a lot of misfires. I can't pass everything flat. We were losing a lot of power in the long straight.
21. 04. 2024 19:54 CET 12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): This one is so slippy, I don't know if it's pollution or dust on the asphalt, but you can't see so well either. Aaron did a good job but this is quite a tricky stage.
21. 04. 2024 19:54 CET 12 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): Went straight on in a junction and lost some time, incredibly slippery in this stage. I thought I was doing drifting!
21. 04. 2024 19:53 CET 12 (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): missed junction
21. 04. 2024 19:53 CET 12 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I will prefer some rain, it would help our road position a bit more with the cuts. There is a thin layer of dust which means we're cleaning a bit and my rear tyres are thin.
21. 04. 2024 21:53 CET 11 retired (73 - Fontana Matteo / Arnaboldi Alessandro): retired in SS 11
21. 04. 2024 21:53 CET 11 retired (53 - Rensonnet Tom / Deliot Manon): retired in SS 11
21. 04. 2024 19:49 CET 11 flash info (37 - Kremer Armin / Kremer Ella): At the moment we are happy, the car is running and the feeling is good with the car. We have to keep an eye on the speed.
21. 04. 2024 19:48 CET 11 flash info (27 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): It was very enjoyable, especially with the jumps and the grip change as well. Feeling quite good.
21. 04. 2024 19:48 CET 11 flash info (35 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): Not an easy rally, we are here to get experience. We had a small moment on the last corner, bit sideways but we are enjoying a lot. Just trying to get some experience.
21. 04. 2024 19:48 CET 11 flash info (24 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): Felt OK, seemed like we had a rear puncture but I guess it was very slippery.
21. 04. 2024 19:48 CET 11 flash info (34 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Listerud Jørn): It was a big push, I did a few mistakes and missed a chicane as well. I enjoyed it so much, it's really hard to keep up the pace with the frontrunners, they are really clever.
21. 04. 2024 19:48 CET 11 flash info (26 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): Yeah this stage is really nice, quite nice flowing and easy to get rhythm. Unfortunately in the earlier stages we had soft tyres, so we lost a lot of rhythm because I couldn't get the feeling.
21. 04. 2024 19:47 CET 11 flash info (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): Very enjoyable, pretty slippery but lots of slide so it was nice. I pushed hard so the driving was not very clean but very good stage.
21. 04. 2024 19:47 CET 11 flash info (21 - López José María / Vázquez David): It's a really nice stage, it was OK for us, we tried to keep our pace during the day, so we'll see.
21. 04. 2024 19:47 CET 11 flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): I have always enjoyed this stage, it's really nice. The weather is so consistent now, so it's a good drive. It is fast, there is a lot of crests and spectators, it's been a really nice drive.
21. 04. 2024 19:46 CET 11 flash info (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I thought I pulled the handbrake a few more times than I needed to. It's good fun but this is why I didn't score points in Croatia, two slow punctures on the stage. What was laughter in the car about? I was admiring my own drift skills.
21. 04. 2024 19:46 CET 11 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It's not bad, did Gryazin do a mistake? No? Not bad for the moment, we keep up the pressure and let's see. It's still long, we need to keep the car on the road.
21. 04. 2024 19:46 CET 11 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Tyre choice was good, we need to drive better because Rossel is driving really nice. When there is a wide road, I need to learn and work on it.
21. 04. 2024 19:45 CET 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): 0.9sec is a lot, I'm really happy. I don't think I could go any faster in there.
21. 04. 2024 19:45 CET 11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The tyre situation is not easy, but we have to just drive and see what happens.
21. 04. 2024 19:45 CET 11 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Small jump - I don't know. We struggled with suspension, massive kick and a big oversteer. Very close call, quite early in.
21. 04. 2024 19:45 CET 11 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's a nice stage, three stages that are quite fun. Still sketchy in places but all good. We don't have any spare [tyres], but [the wheel] is working OK.
21. 04. 2024 19:44 CET 11 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): To be fair, we didn't expect the rain, I'm trying to manage my tyres because we predicted wrong. I did a good stage but it is really slippery.
21. 04. 2024 19:44 CET 11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I could be more committed to be honest, a bit of an issue before the stage so I was not fully focused, it is a bit slippery also. It wasn't too dry, but we'll see how it goes.
21. 04. 2024 19:44 CET 11 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): First time attacking this stage in speed so I will struggle with top pace, there is so many crests and you have to position the car perfectly. This one is about experience.
21. 04. 2024 19:44 CET 11 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's a very fast stage, also very slippery, in the last section you do a hairpin right on very low grip asphalt. It's good to be on the front, much cleaner than yesterday. We enjoy, that's what is important.
21. 04. 2024 19:43 CET 11 The grip will be improving here, despite the rain that fell on the stage earlier today. In a similar way to yesterday, conditions throughout the stage will be consistently evolving.
21. 04. 2024 21:52 CET 10 retired (63 - Bruun Nataniel / Olmos Pablo): accident in SS 10
21. 04. 2024 19:43 CET 10 flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): I think the first was really good, but the second one... the hard tyre would have been a better choice. I didn't feel like I was in a rally.
21. 04. 2024 19:42 CET 10 flash info (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): We picked up a slow puncture in the first stage, we pumped the tyre up as high as it could go but it was pretty flat. We'll see what we can do.
21. 04. 2024 19:42 CET 10 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): The plan is to keep the pressure on, I get a lot of time on this one. I think my tyre choice is not perfect, I'm fighting with the feeling on the car. It's difficult because you don't have the same tyre on the car in all stages.
21. 04. 2024 19:41 CET 10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's good fun, everybody is close, it's quite surprising in such long stages.
21. 04. 2024 19:41 CET 10 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I didn't see anything for the guys behind, so I still have time to catch up. At the moment it's still enjoyable to drive, it's very hard to predict when the rain is going to happen.
21. 04. 2024 19:40 CET 10 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We went wide in a place and we hit the edge. It was a lot softer than expected. We took it easier in the final stages, I'd been struggling with the braking and then it went soft and I went straight so it was a bit sketchy!
21. 04. 2024 19:39 CET 10 Weather was reported as cloudy and dry earlier in the morning, however there is rain falling in and around the stage at present.
21. 04. 2024 21:52 CET 9 retired (51 - Kelly Eamonn / Mohan Conor): retired after SS 9

21. 04. 2024 19:39 CET 9 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): From my point of view, even if the weather is like this it should not be rainy. I went with the softs but it feels too soft. The grip is good.
21. 04. 2024 19:39 CET 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was tough, the road is really dirty. I was fighting with the traction. Less rain than expected to be honest but we need to keep it up.
21. 04. 2024 19:39 CET 9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was OK, little bit steady in a few sections but generally it was clean.
21. 04. 2024 19:38 CET 9 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was OK, dirty stage as expected. Maybe not pushing hard enough. It was my tyre choice, let's see if it works out at the end.
21. 04. 2024 19:38 CET 9 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's getting more dirty than I expected to be honest. Quite bumpy as well, we struggled with that. The setup is similar, we were expecting rainy weather today so not optimal.
21. 04. 2024 19:38 CET 9 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I feel really good, wanted to really enjoy this stage because during today I think it will be difficult conditions. I was pushing, I could've been a bit smoother, but I am happy.
21. 04. 2024 19:38 CET 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Quite dry in there, the next one might be dry again. We didn't focus too much on these two stages to get a good time. Having a hard tyre on the front left is quite okay, it works well enough.
21. 04. 2024 19:37 CET 9 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): I have a bit better feeling today, I just have so many pace notes and sometimes I don't remember so I have to brake. We tried to keep a better rhythm than yesterday. The car was a bit more playful today. The road position is a bit better, there isn't too much dirt on the road.
21. 04. 2024 19:37 CET 9 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I didn't benefit enough because I was being cautious in every corner because of yesterday, but here everything is clean. I was struggling with the tyre getting overheated, so not the perfect start.
21. 04. 2024 19:35 CET 9 Grey skies hang over the stage. The first pass should prove difficult, with chilly conditions providing more ever-changing grip that challenged our drivers' experience yesterday. Light rain also being reported on the stop line.

21. 04. 2024 19:34 CET 8 flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Croatia is always challenging but I especially like the last two stages, but I'm enjoying it a lot.
21. 04. 2024 19:34 CET 8 flash info (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): Just before the start when Yannick did the tyre pressures, we had to make a change of the wheel because we had a puncture. We put the wrong compound on, it was not great in the stage.
21. 04. 2024 19:33 CET 8 flash info (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was a good run, the Citroëns were getting away from us around lunch so had to bring it back in. Had enjoyable few moments, had a few big pushes, it's been good.
21. 04. 2024 19:33 CET 8 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): Gryazin is fast, it's impossible to race with him. Let's see for tomorrow, at the moment I am too cautious but the feeling is not good on the soft tyre.
21. 04. 2024 19:33 CET 8 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Very difficult stage, lots of big cuts in this one, bit too low, it was a real rollercoaster. Wheels are not touching the ground anymore. We made it to the finish of the first day and that's a good thing.
21. 04. 2024 19:33 CET 8 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): It's been a tough day, just can't get the proper speed and the commitment, we just have to keep on working because we want to be up there.
21. 04. 2024 19:32 CET 8 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's been a good run, I'm happy with that one for sure. We're happy to close the gap after the road position this morning. Tomorrow is the start of another rally, much slower and much slippier.
21. 04. 2024 19:32 CET 8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I tried, my time was quite good. I don't know why I was so slow on the other stages. Very strange, tomorrow will be another tricky day so we need to focus now.
21. 04. 2024 19:32 CET 8 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Last three stages we've been consistent, difficult to push but we've been consistent. Not great but better than the morning.
21. 04. 2024 19:32 CET 8 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's good to finish on a positive stage, I changed the setup and it seems to be working. It's really nice to finish the day like this. It's been a good day so far.
21. 04. 2024 19:31 CET 8 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Difficult stage to be honest, not a good feeling at the end of it, really difficult with all these cuts. Difficult to manage with all the dirt on the road to be honest.
21. 04. 2024 19:31 CET 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I did what I could, not a great day for us, struggled a bit with the handling and lots of cleaning in there too. Not much more we can do.
21. 04. 2024 19:30 CET 8 Clouds hang over the stage, previously run as SS1 in the morning loop. Conditions are expected to have worsened on a surface level, as there was already dirt building up within the stage when Tänak completed the first pass.
21. 04. 2024 19:30 CET 7 flash info (24 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): It's been about learning, we were quite far off the pace but we expected it. I didn't enjoy the long one, but I can feel that Tarmac isn't my strong suit. The plan this season is to do it a lot more though.
21. 04. 2024 19:30 CET 7 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The rim was off before the jump, I didn't lose the car but for sure I lost three or four seconds in the last few kilometres because of the puncture.
21. 04. 2024 19:30 CET 7 (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): puncture
21. 04. 2024 19:29 CET 7 flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): You didn't see what happened on the previous stage? That was spectacular. All fine. I really enjoyed this stage, the car is handling really nice, the crew has done an amaxing job. Really enjoyable at the moment.
21. 04. 2024 19:29 CET 7 flash info (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): This afternoon the conditions suit the car better, so we have a better performance and I can push more. The last corner was very dirty and I went out of the line, that probably cost about 2 sec.
21. 04. 2024 19:28 CET 7 flash info (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I am absolutely on the door handles. Every four or five corners there's a moment but that has to be one of the best stages in the world, that is awesome.
21. 04. 2024 19:28 CET 7 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It's a bit difficult with soft on the car, but the grip is better. Gryazin is fast.
21. 04. 2024 19:28 CET 7 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): This one was much better, the position is not bad in this one, you can see this in the time difference. This morning this one was hell with all the cuts, but it dried out a little bit and hopefully you can see that in the time.
21. 04. 2024 19:27 CET 7 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): I was missing experience in that stage, really difficult stage with lots of crests. I'm missing where to place the car all the time. You learn something all the time, we just have to continue driving and we'll get there.
21. 04. 2024 19:27 CET 7 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Enjoyable, some more grip, consistent conditions, enjoyable. We have more than enough tyres.
21. 04. 2024 19:27 CET 7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): That went OK, the grip is much higher than the last one. I'm not so happy myself, not great driving all the time.
21. 04. 2024 19:27 CET 7 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): For the previous stage we managed to get a bit more consistency, there are still some things we are not able to fix. It could be another rally tomorrow.
21. 04. 2024 19:26 CET 7 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): To be fair I am just fighting with the car in some places so that I can push everywhere, I had a good stage. Conditions are also really crazy, first bit was like Christmas with the snow, second was like Easter with eggs everywhere, this one was better with dirt not everywhere. It's a challenging day. I am happy we get to do the long stage, I enjoyed that one.
21. 04. 2024 19:26 CET 7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We'll have a look at that now, we'll fight.
21. 04. 2024 19:26 CET 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): To be honest really disappointed because the puncture is something that could've been avoided. We were struggling a bit to find motivation in the road section. I know I can go faster but I don't trust, if I don't trust I will make a mistake so have to take it slow.
21. 04. 2024 19:25 CET 7 In contrast to the rest of the day, the sun is shining down on SS7 - Jaškovo - Mali Modruš Potok surely influencing tyre decisions ahead of the drivers entering the stage. Surface may be high on grip, meaning we could see some pragmatic drives taking place.
21. 04. 2024 21:47 CET 6 retired (59 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): retired after SS 6
21. 04. 2024 21:47 CET 6 retired (29 - Boland Eamonn / "MJ" ..): accident in SS 6
21. 04. 2024 19:29 CET 6 flash info (21 - López José María / Vázquez David): We had a moment in a gravel area and we had to reverse, some cosmetic damage.
21. 04. 2024 19:16 CET 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): There was a stone in the road, I tried to avoid it but it must've been close because it immediately punctured the tyre. Was about 2km from the end. The stage was OK, after the puncture I was just trying to survive.
21. 04. 2024 18:53 CET 6 (27 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): stopped in stage, continue
21. 04. 2024 18:53 CET 6 (21 - López José María / Vázquez David): spun
21. 04. 2024 18:53 CET 6 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It was better, there was an impact and when I switched the gear it went down two gears and when I went round the next corner there was a bump, we just hope everything is still there.
21. 04. 2024 18:52 CET 6 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): It was a tricky stage, quite a lot of mud but quite dry as well. Just in the cuts it was tricky but we managed quite okay. Still not happy, we'd like to be faster but we're working on it. We're making tweaks to the car all the time.
21. 04. 2024 18:52 CET 6 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I think I'm pushing since the beginning of the rally, there's not much more we can do. Luckily the rain didn't come down so much this time because the last stage was hard for us. On SS2 this morning I went into a bank, luckily it was a soft bank.
21. 04. 2024 18:52 CET 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Not a big gap between the others, but the stage is tricky enough.
21. 04. 2024 18:51 CET 6 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): damaged wheel after clipping the rock
21. 04. 2024 18:51 CET 6 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): No issues, first time this week we are a bit more competitive. Small improvements have helped a bit.
21. 04. 2024 18:51 CET 5 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It's good that we didn't lose, it was super slippery. We almost crashed twice. This is the rally though. In some places you get a lot of rain, in some places, not so much.
21. 04. 2024 18:50 CET 5 flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): In the beginning snow is still coming down, it is not wet but really damp. The beauty of Croatia Rally is you never know what is coming up next.
21. 04. 2024 18:50 CET 5 flash info (21 - López José María / Vázquez David): More difficult in the forest, really challenging. Let's see, we need to change some things to get the feeling on the next few stages.
21. 04. 2024 18:50 CET 5 flash info (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): Maybe not the first half, but with the snow falling the grip was not great. For sure if we have good tyre choice for the rest of the afternoon it should be better. For me, soft tyres in the next one.
21. 04. 2024 18:49 CET 5 flash info (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I think everyone has taken slightly different tyre options.
21. 04. 2024 18:49 CET 5 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I hope it's the same for the guys behind, but I'm not sure. For me the driving is not bad but the surface is very, very slippery.
21. 04. 2024 18:49 CET 5 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): The feeling in the car is always good but there is a cloud following me round, it was hailing like hell 500m into the stage. Just this one will be an issue, with the snow. It's getting heavier and heavier.
21. 04. 2024 18:49 CET 5 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): It was snowing in the beginning and was a bit slippery, for the rest I tried to find the confidence to attack the corners. I'm really fighting with the car when it should just be smooth. Tricky afternoon loop, quite dry with lots of cuts and dirt on the road.
21. 04. 2024 18:48 CET 5 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): If it carries on like this, we have no chance. It is challenging.
21. 04. 2024 18:48 CET 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It started snowing and after a few corners it was tough. The tyre choice was OK, it works well.
21. 04. 2024 18:48 CET 5 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It snowed so much and I had some issues with the rear tyre. Some setup changes necessary. I think the tyres don't really matter at the moment.
21. 04. 2024 18:47 CET 5 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We had quite a big moment, braking. Sometimes the grip was there and sometimes it was not.
21. 04. 2024 18:47 CET 5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was getting wet at one point in the middle of the stage there, it looked worse than it was. Pretty tricky.
21. 04. 2024 18:47 CET 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Plenty of surprises, you have to trust your feeling.
21. 04. 2024 18:47 CET 5 Light snow has begun to fall on the second pass Platak, as our drivers prepare for a reverse of this morning's loop. It will be a challenging stage for our drivers who will be facing the most recently vacated stage and sure to face issues with dirt spreading throughout.
21. 04. 2024 21:46 CET 4 retired (52 - Hernández Raúl / Murado José): accident in SS 4
21. 04. 2024 18:46 CET 4 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The next loop will be easier. In the morning we had a dirtier road than the guys in front.
21. 04. 2024 18:46 CET 4 flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It has been quite OK, no crazy moments, still learning the car and obviously completed. It has been tricky but we're safely through. No regrets at the moment, it's good if it's going well but there are still things to make better.
21. 04. 2024 18:46 CET 4 flash info (21 - López José María / Vázquez David): It was OK I just tried to do the stages, for sure today is not my day with the feeling with the car. It's a good position, for us, for the championship but we have to keep going.
21. 04. 2024 18:45 CET 4 flash info (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): Let's say, SS2 and SS3 were ok but once again here we don't have a good tyre choice because soft for sure is not a good choice, all the bit in the woods were damp and wet but everywhere else it doesn't work. I am missing some feeling with the car, some connection so I cannot push fully. I think the tyre decision is good for the afternoon but I hope I don't make the same mistakes.
21. 04. 2024 18:45 CET 4 flash info (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I just had a bad run down the hill, had the softs on the rear so they were moving round a lot. Do you regret not point-scoring? If I did this rally would mean I'm losing 10 points!
21. 04. 2024 18:44 CET 4 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): For the moment, my driving is not [great]. Maybe I need to sleep a bit. For the moment it's clean. I am a bit slow on the jump on SS3, it was quite a moment. I am happy I'm here.
21. 04. 2024 18:44 CET 4 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): This one was a bit better as well, but in general the road position is crazy. I've never seen that on Tarmac, first in Rally1 and now you're seeing the difference from Rally2. The very last is very slippery, but before that there were a lot of corners where I was too gentle.
21. 04. 2024 18:44 CET 4 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): It's a well known stage, missing the experience in that one could be costly. It's an OK stage, there's so much on the road. I'm fighting. We will still be at a disadvantage in the afternoon loop but let's see how it goes.
21. 04. 2024 18:43 CET 4 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's been a good run, I can be happy with my loop. Like expected, we lose some ground but hopefully it will be a bit better. I thought the tyres was definitely the wrong choice but I'm happy with my choice this morning.
21. 04. 2024 18:43 CET 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's drying up quite a lot, so need to make sure to keep an eye on punctures. We need to keep an eye on tyres cause after this morning's loop it could be a big problem.
21. 04. 2024 18:43 CET 4 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Somehow we struggled a lot more than in Monte, but we made it work. The tyre choice was OK.
21. 04. 2024 18:42 CET 4 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I have done a really, really good stage, but with the tyres I had I couldn't do more. We definitely needed hards for this one, I've tried to keep the tyres clean and soft. I will see, the rally is still really long. We're staying close to Tänak and this is the main goal for now.
21. 04. 2024 18:42 CET 4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Probably should've thought about our tyre choice a bit more, wasn't really a clean run on that downhill.
21. 04. 2024 18:42 CET 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's probably the cleanest stage, I can't attack. I have to be so smooth and clean, there's no way for me to push otherwise it doesn't work. I would like to go a bit faster but it is what it is. Tricky conditions.
21. 04. 2024 18:41 CET 4 Conditions are reportedly wet on the surface of the stage but crucially, no snow on the road.
21. 04. 2024 21:46 CET 3 retired (61 - Martinez André / Sierra Guillermo): accident in SS 3
21. 04. 2024 21:46 CET 3 retired (67 - Türkkan Ali / Erdener Burak): accident in SS 3
21. 04. 2024 21:45 CET 3 retired (54 - Dominguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio): accident in SS 3
21. 04. 2024 21:45 CET 3 retired (39 - Chiarani Maurizio / Zanella Flavio): accident in SS 3
21. 04. 2024 18:40 CET 3 Sow has fallen on SS3 and remained there for today. There is a chance that the snow could melt into the stage, providing even slippier conditions for our drivers to contend with.
21. 04. 2024 18:40 CET 2 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It was much better than what I thought, I changed the setup after the first run and it was way better than expected. I think the snow on SS3 is not really on the road but it can melt and bring water on the road, so let's see.
21. 04. 2024 18:39 CET 2 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): That was very difficult, missing a lot of protection and the car is very nervous. When it is muddy like this I have to be so careful. Two difficult rallies we've had, we have to survive the day and hope tomorrow will be much better.
21. 04. 2024 18:39 CET 2 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I think they are all difficult, this stage is not especially tricky. We went wide in a corner, it was so slippy. Is it hard being further back in asphalt rounds? Not really, I have had it many times in recent years so nothing new really.
21. 04. 2024 18:39 CET 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure it's good to have confidence, there are many surprises on this rally. Going step by step this is what I'm trying to do now. Nice but tricky stage.
21. 04. 2024 18:38 CET 2 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The tyres are fine, it's still quite cool, not humid or damp. The car is not really working, it is difficult to drive. It's a big challenge on the road. This stage was much better, the previous one was all greasy. Conditions depends on the stage.
21. 04. 2024 18:38 CET 2 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We are enjoying so much. That was such a nice stage, for sure it's getting dirty with the cars in front, I would expect less dust to be fair. I am happy with my drive in the car, we need to improve my time but it is OK.
21. 04. 2024 18:38 CET 2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Conditions are quite different, quite different character also. Difficult stage, very difficult to carry momentum but all OK. I like the character of some of these short ones.
21. 04. 2024 18:37 CET 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Setup changed? Not much to be honest, generally I'm struggling a bit with the protection, the grip is good for the conditions. [The stage] so nice. A few tricky corners in there but we had some good information.
21. 04. 2024 21:45 CET 1 retired (81 - Pahlitzsch Thomas / Grundmann Stefan): retired in SS 1
21. 04. 2024 21:44 CET 1 retired (64 - Schwarz Fabio / Ettel Bernhard): accident in SS 1
21. 04. 2024 21:44 CET 1 retired (63 - Bruun Nataniel / Olmos Pablo): retired in SS 1
21. 04. 2024 18:37 CET 1 flash info (24 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): Mega slippery, definitely a difficult rally if you're not used to Tarmac but we're here to learn. Softs on the front and hards on the back.
21. 04. 2024 18:36 CET 1 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Yes and no, I'm not surprised because it was strategy, I'm surprised also because I felt like it was super slow. It felt jolty. Difficult for everyone. I have softs on, I also took hards. Maybe on the last stage the hards work.
21. 04. 2024 18:36 CET 1 (27 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): stopped in stage, continue
21. 04. 2024 18:36 CET 1 flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Quite tricky, everyone is sayiong the same but really low grip. It's a long route, let's see how our tyre strategy is at the end.
21. 04. 2024 18:35 CET 1 flash info (21 - López José María / Vázquez David): Good, it was not an easy stage. We had all black tyres on the car.
21. 04. 2024 18:35 CET 1 flash info (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): After three corners I knew it would be a disaster. Just impossible to get to grips with the hard compound on the car, it's impossible to get grip. We will switch the compound but just a shame for this one.
21. 04. 2024 18:34 CET 1 flash info (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): I thought I had a puncture in the end so we backed off a little bit, didn't want to take it off the rim. Conditions are tricky.
21. 04. 2024 18:34 CET 1 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I think it isn't easy conditions for sure, it's changing. It's not bad.
21. 04. 2024 18:33 CET 1 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): The road position is crazy on this one, we didn't have the best tyre option. I see already there are lines everywhere, we just have to keep it on the road. With the cars in front the road is evolving too much.
21. 04. 2024 18:33 CET 1 (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): slow puncture
21. 04. 2024 18:33 CET 1 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): I made a big mistake in a junction, I went straight and had to reverse. After that I was completely out of the rhythm. A lot of mud everywhere, really hard to drive because you feel you are going slow.
21. 04. 2024 18:32 CET 1 (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): missed junction
21. 04. 2024 18:29 CET 1 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Not much we can do, we do what we can. It's impossible to match that time. We always hope for better conditions.
21. 04. 2024 18:29 CET 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's quite hard, conditions are not so good. I am not happy with the information.
21. 04. 2024 18:28 CET 1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's so much harder already, it's very difficult. For these conditions, the tyre choice was OK.
21. 04. 2024 18:27 CET 1 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): To be fair I'm struggling a bit with the tyres, I had the wrong feeling in the stage. It's a very interesting stage. I'm not happy with my time. I am overheating the tyres and have no feeling with the grip.
21. 04. 2024 18:25 CET 1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Just struggling a little bit, probably a bit on the safe side, the tyre choice wasn't bad.
21. 04. 2024 18:24 CET 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I tried but I had a hell of an understeer so I was struggling a lot, the grip was much lower than expected. It is hard to say, back into the rhythm but it feels like it's slow because we it is slippery. It didn't feel so great for me but the time is good.
21. 04. 2024 18:24 CET 1 The sun is shining this morning in Zagreb, beating down on the asphalt surface of Croatia Rally's first stage. SS1 is said to be dry with muddy cuts, meaning tyre care will be a priority for our drivers, with a pragmatic approach possibly being adopted ahead of a long morning involving four stages.
18. 04. 2024 11:33 CET SHAKEDOWN Runs of drivers codriven by VIP: Neuville (1:57.5), Evans (1:56.4), Fourmaux (1:59.1), Tänak (1:57.3), Katsuta (2:03.5), Ogier (1:56.1), Mikkelsen (2:01.2), Munster (2:03.0)
18. 04. 2024 11:09 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (24 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): The stage win in Sweden was a positive thing for sure, we didn't get stuck on it for too long I think. It's a different rally now, we have a new target ahead of us. We're not scoring any points so the most important thing is to enjoy, learn and get faster on tarmac.
18. 04. 2024 11:09 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Super! It's good, the beginning was okay. I was feeling we could do it faster. In the first pass we need to show the nice part of the stages. The car seems to be good, maybe a few things to check with the setup but always good. We need to drive through, no mistakes.
18. 04. 2024 11:08 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Yeah, the feeling is alway really good and we had good testing and lots of nice new things on the car. This was a proper wake up call for the morning, especially with the jump so I enjoyed it.
18. 04. 2024 11:08 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (21 - López José María / Vázquez David): I like the car, it works. The most important thing now is I like the feeling with the car. Could we have another big battle between yourself and Rossel? Yeah I hope so.
18. 04. 2024 11:08 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (25 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): It's pretty slippery already, especially the last section with the dust is very slippery and it's just as simple as that. Very happy to be back here, I know it's gonna be a difficult event but we hope to be competitive.
18. 04. 2024 11:08 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (31 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): My back is hurting less so far and I'm feeling a lot better so that's great. The car is feeling nice, the weather is changing a lot. The same thing as Safari would be nice.
18. 04. 2024 11:07 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): The plan is to do the same as last year, I think with the conditions is not easy, it's like Monte I think. The weather changes a lot but the plan is to play for victory and take some points.
18. 04. 2024 11:07 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I found Rally Croatia difficult in Rally2, in Rally1 everything comes faster. Not too bad feeling for the car, I feel quite confident. The target is having a trouble free event.
18. 04. 2024 11:07 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): It's really nice to be back, the car felt really nice. I was stuck a bit in the junction in the stage so I stalled, but it's alright. Should be a decent weekend.
18. 04. 2024 11:06 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It is good to be back, two and a half months is a very long time. The first run in the test last week was useful and I feel very happy here.
18. 04. 2024 11:06 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Not feeling so good, we will check a few things but otherwise OK. We want to manage the situation, without mistakes would be nice this weekend.
18. 04. 2024 11:06 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Maybe it is not the moment to be really confident due to our start this season, for sure we are trying to be efficient this weekend so the fast target is to have a clean weekend. Let's see how it goes, but we'll give it our all.
18. 04. 2024 11:06 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I think this is why rally is so interesting, we are in the middle of nowhere with Safari Rally, it's rough and tumble and now it's all about the precision of a Tarmac rally. Are me going for three podiums in a row? Yeah, I am quite happy, we have some good guys in front so we will see.
18. 04. 2024 11:05 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's much the same, generally very dirty and very challenging. It's not going to be easy!
18. 04. 2024 11:05 CET SHAKEDOWN flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Not much to say, you'll see for the weekend. Hopefully in a good way. A proper stage to wake up this morning, I took it carefully to get the feeling back with the car on Tarmac again. Let's just make those minor adjustments.
