14 flash info (15 - Virves Robert / Drew Craig): To be honest, it felt to me we were not moving as fast so it was not a surprise we gave away the time. We had no traction at all and the rear was always slipping away. Our rally we can be happy with, because we were quicker than all the FIA ERC competitors through the weekend. We would like to win it, but Linnamäe is the next one I'd want to win it, so it's fine.

14 (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): Penalty 10 sec for missed chicane (added to the stage time).
07. 07. 2024 15:59
07. 07. 2024 14:59 CET
14 flash info (12 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): I can't believe it. It's the most brave stage I've done in my life. We knew our tyre choice would pay off on this one.
07. 07. 2024 15:55
07. 07. 2024 14:55 CET
14 flash info (12 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): I gave it everything I had. It was just crazy, I think I had a moment in about every corner. At least we didn't make it too easy for Virves if he gets it but it has been a great battle, the most fun I've ever had in a rally car.
07. 07. 2024 15:55
07. 07. 2024 14:55 CET
14 flash info (14 - Gryazin Nikolay / Mālnieks Andris): I completely lost the feeling, we have some hard tyres so maybe that wasn't working but still. The feeling from the road was super slippery. I would like to push but when you don't understand what is happening it makes no sense to push.
07. 07. 2024 15:55
07. 07. 2024 14:55 CET
14 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): The stage fits in the toilet! The conditions are crazy, I am even sweating! Maybe sometimes we have to work but it was good fun, we had to push, it was raining quite heavily and lots of standing water. We had a clean run and tried not to make mistakes.
07. 07. 2024 15:49
07. 07. 2024 14:49 CET
14 flash info (6 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was very tough stage and we got safely through. We had used tyres on the rear, I was trying not to push too much. I am happy with the performance of the first day, unfortunately we couldn't get it today but it is what it is and I am happy with the pace.
07. 07. 2024 15:48
07. 07. 2024 14:48 CET
14 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Probably a little bit better in places to be fair, we had a moment at the start and after that I backed right out of it. It is better to bring back some points, considering we were potentially out of the rally at SS2, it's good to come back and finish above our rivals.
07. 07. 2024 15:46
07. 07. 2024 14:46 CET
14 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): It's always so tough when it rains like this in Estonia. I've been in this stage before with rain, thankfully at the start I had confidence but at the end it gets quite slippery. Seventh place at the end is quite good especially with our issues, thanks to M-Sport and Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy.
07. 07. 2024 15:46
07. 07. 2024 14:46 CET
14 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): One of the worst experiences of my life, it was never-ending. This one was tough. I think that I must be happy to be here. It was incredibly slippery. The race is done, we had a clean run, I want to thank everybody for being here and to support us in this championship. We are improving a lot in these fast-gravel events and now we go back to asphalt in Rome.
07. 07. 2024 15:41
07. 07. 2024 14:41 CET
14 flash info (18 - Jeets Gregor / Taniel Timo): I had many slides, this road position wasn't on our side. Also in some places I am too aggressive with this kind of weather, but good practice. I hope to be back next time.
07. 07. 2024 15:38
07. 07. 2024 14:38 CET
14 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): Completely crazy. At the beginning it was okay, but from 8km to the end; no grip, aqua-planing, I lost one junction to the end. I'm so slow and I'm off. It's the end of a difficult rally, now it is time to rest and think and understand how we can come back stronger. This weekend was difficult, but you can believe in me.
07. 07. 2024 15:36
07. 07. 2024 14:36 CET
14 flash info (16 - Asunmaa Teemu / Mannisenmäki Ville): It is a lot of weather, it was terrible. We have good luck because there is no competition anymore, we planned to drive safely but there is still some moments. We got absolutely nothing from the braking.
07. 07. 2024 15:36

07. 07. 2024 12:40 CET
13 flash info (10 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): When you are going in the wet sections, you need more support on the car, but not too much support otherwise you will be too lazy. It's going to be fun because it's a Power Stage and guys will be pushing for Power Stage points too. We have time to readjust and work out what the weather will be like.
07. 07. 2024 13:35
07. 07. 2024 12:35 CET
13 flash info (15 - Virves Robert / Drew Craig): That's how it should be. Some places we were really committed, some places could have been better. Not easy for anyone. Some surprising holes but we did a quite okay run.
07. 07. 2024 13:32
07. 07. 2024 12:32 CET
13 flash info (12 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): We tried what we could, but the car is just so hard to drive in the ruts. It is just jumping out all the time.
07. 07. 2024 13:31
07. 07. 2024 12:31 CET
13 flash info (14 - Gryazin Nikolay / Mālnieks Andris): I didn't come here to fight for the championship, I have my own things to do and I want to enjoy it. From my side, I have to fight for P3 though.
07. 07. 2024 13:28
07. 07. 2024 12:28 CET
13 flash info (6 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We are thinking it will be a wet Power Stage, we are prepared because we are on the soft tyre. I will do my best to go clean on the Power Stage but the WRC guys are really good in these conditions.
07. 07. 2024 13:25
07. 07. 2024 12:25 CET
13 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): We are lucky to be here. There was so many rocks on the middle of the road and you cannot avoid them, I don't know how you can be so lucky. It was flat out and I hit and we went off with the front, we were off the road but in the end, nothing.
07. 07. 2024 13:24
07. 07. 2024 12:24 CET
13 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's all going to rely on the weather conditions, on this stage we have taken a compromise on setup and tyres. If the rain comes even 20sec to 30sec isn't enough.
07. 07. 2024 13:23
07. 07. 2024 12:23 CET
13 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): Now it's my problem! We started quite good, in the last part there was a lot of small mistakes. There's a lot of corners in the last section, so now we refresh a bit, regroup and head to the Power Stage.
07. 07. 2024 13:19
07. 07. 2024 12:19 CET
13 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): It's a bit better, nothing special. OK, the most difficult thing to understand is that sometimes it can be a difficult weekend and this is the case. I just need to understand that and be stronger.
07. 07. 2024 13:16
07. 07. 2024 12:16 CET
13 flash info (18 - Jeets Gregor / Taniel Timo): It's quite tricky. The rear was so slippery and we lose the rear in many places. Was so tricky to find the grip. Last stage I think we can give more.
07. 07. 2024 13:15
07. 07. 2024 12:15 CET
13 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): There's for sure some ruts but it's probably more the jumps. Quite a demanding stage with drop jumps in there towards the end. We got a good rhythm towards the end, just with the jumps it was difficult.
07. 07. 2024 13:12
07. 07. 2024 12:12 CET
13 flash info (16 - Asunmaa Teemu / Mannisenmäki Ville): Quite happy now, there is good rhythm in the pace note and the driving and we are closer to the speed we expected this weekend. Nice stage, very clean and not many rocks.
07. 07. 2024 13:11
07. 07. 2024 12:11 CET
13 flash info (20 - Yamamoto Yuki / Salminen Marko): Okay, the fast rally is a bit familiar but the surface is a bit different to Finland, lots of ruts. Just one more to go and this one was a much better feeling, so let's keep on in the same way.
07. 07. 2024 13:10
07. 07. 2024 12:10 CET
13 flash info (9 - Larsen Frank Tore / Eriksen Torstein): You can feel that the national field has been through, the grip is better and it's a really, really nice stage.
07. 07. 2024 13:09
07. 07. 2024 12:09 CET
13 flash info (19 - Kasari Kaspar / Raidma Rainis): No moments, it was better than the first pass. 2WD line is different to us, but it's all okay. It's really hot in the car.

07. 07. 2024 11:07 CET
12 flash info (31 - McRae Max / Fair Cameron): We're trying to build the pace back up and get the mileage in, struggling with the car and the confidence a bit so we're just trying to learn and get to the finish really.
07. 07. 2024 12:07
07. 07. 2024 11:07 CET
12 flash info (39 - Pesavento Davide / Zanella Flavio): I flew in a jump, no problem the car is okay. The stage is very difficult, I tried my best.
07. 07. 2024 12:06
07. 07. 2024 11:06 CET
12 flash info (33 - Polášek Daniel / Omelka Zdeněk): We are struggling, we are struggling with the notes and the stages. Just trying to get the experience now.
07. 07. 2024 12:06
07. 07. 2024 11:06 CET
12 flash info (34 - Raftery Aoife / McKillop Hannah): We ran wide in a corner. Tricky stage, very difficult, we have some tyre damage on the rear left so we lost a bit of time.
07. 07. 2024 12:06
07. 07. 2024 11:06 CET
12 flash info (50 - Bartkuvėnas Mantas / Vičiūnas Justas): I could say one more beautiful morning. Everything great, I like the jumps. I am happy to be here. I cannot imagine a better morning in my life.
07. 07. 2024 12:06
07. 07. 2024 11:06 CET
12 flash info (47 - Unt Esmar-Arnold / Mark Robin): Very hard, we lost our pace notes and terrible stage for us. Just looking to the final.
07. 07. 2024 12:05
07. 07. 2024 11:05 CET
12 flash info (48 - Triisa Toomas / Merisalu Laur): It's super fun, for me. It's almost the end of the rally but we got some good turns finally. I am happy, I like this track.
07. 07. 2024 12:05
07. 07. 2024 11:05 CET
12 flash info (41 - Välilä Tuomas / Välilä Päivi): We spin and have a gear problem. We lost time.

07. 07. 2024 11:05 CET
12 flash info (37 - Herczig Patrik / Varga Kristóf): Really fast, really tricky. The first one today was quite okay. This one, my pace note was not the best. We will check it in the service.
07. 07. 2024 12:04
07. 07. 2024 11:04 CET
12 flash info (35 - Schulz Timo / Wenzel Michael): I just don't feel confident now on these stages, it's so slippery and narrow and you can do so many mistakes. Just don't feel confident.
07. 07. 2024 12:04
07. 07. 2024 11:04 CET
12 flash info (51 - Tiits Mark-Egert / Viilo Jakko): It is tough. We tried to keep it steady, had a few moments but nothing too crazy. I'm happy to be here.
07. 07. 2024 12:04
07. 07. 2024 11:04 CET
12 flash info (25 - Ravenščak Martin / Ravenščak Dora): Not so good today, I don't have confidence at all. I am just trying to finish the stage without any mistakes, we are here. We just have to complete the rally, that's it.
07. 07. 2024 12:04
07. 07. 2024 11:04 CET
12 flash info (32 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): Tyre damage again, if it is not rain or some trouble then it is tyre damage. Nothing is going my way this weekend!
07. 07. 2024 12:03
07. 07. 2024 11:03 CET
12 (32 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): puncture
07. 07. 2024 12:03
07. 07. 2024 11:03 CET
12 flash info (36 - Sei Karl-Markus / Leotoots Martin): It's a difficult stage, the pace changes so much throughout the stage. You have to really listen to your co-driver or you will just drive off.
07. 07. 2024 12:03
07. 07. 2024 11:03 CET
12 flash info (30 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): Stage was really tricky and also very warm. Got a good rhythm, really tricky stage. I think it went good for us but I don't know. We had a problem in a junction-left in the last stage, I couldn't get it right and I just slid out. We lost some time to Carlberg, but all good.
07. 07. 2024 12:02
07. 07. 2024 11:02 CET
12 flash info (24 - Kohn Filip / Woodburn Tom): Bad! We have some problem... we are just figuring out on the stage.
07. 07. 2024 12:02
07. 07. 2024 11:02 CET
12 flash info (38 - Vaher Jaspar / Pruul Sander): It was hot. Like too hot. The stage was quite rutted also so we took it quite carefully.
07. 07. 2024 12:02
07. 07. 2024 11:02 CET
12 flash info (22 - Widłak Igor / Marczewski Michał): I think it is not my day, I have problem with getting the rhythm. The rain is very hard today and I must go for it.
07. 07. 2024 12:01
07. 07. 2024 11:01 CET
12 flash info (23 - Kazaz Kerem / Magalhães Hugo): At the first stage, Charpentier just stopped. I don't need to push anymore, trying to finish in this position. Cruising around now.
07. 07. 2024 12:01
07. 07. 2024 11:01 CET
12 flash info (28 - Nõgene Joosep Ralf / Lesk Aleks): Too messy. The pace notes weren't as accurate as I thought. A few moments we lost some time.
07. 07. 2024 12:01
07. 07. 2024 11:01 CET
12 flash info (29 - Enok Patrick / Simm Silver): I tried, but it is so difficult on this stage and easy to make a mistake. On the last one we tried, but Romet is so fast.
07. 07. 2024 12:01
07. 07. 2024 11:01 CET
12 flash info (27 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): Rhythm wise it was the best stage I've had this weekend, up until the middle part when it went quite messy and we didn't follow the lines. We still haven't put a nice stage together so I hope we can still do it.
07. 07. 2024 12:00
07. 07. 2024 11:00 CET
12 flash info (11 - Costenaro Giacomo / Ometto Pietro Elia): I was terrified! For me it is so difficult. I didn't have any confidence in the stage. It was slippery, a lot of blind turns, bumps. Difficult!
07. 07. 2024 12:00
07. 07. 2024 11:00 CET
12 flash info (21 - Allen Philip / Furniss Dale): I clipped a stone in a right-hander, I knew I hit it hard enough and the tyre was still on. As we drove off, it came off the rim.
07. 07. 2024 11:57
07. 07. 2024 10:57 CET
12 (21 - Allen Philip / Furniss Dale): puncture
07. 07. 2024 11:28
07. 07. 2024 10:28 CET
12 flash info (15 - Virves Robert / Drew Craig): Some small changes to the car are needed. As much as I have heard, if this rain comes I don't think there is too much difference between the car. It is not really good driving at the moment, it is tricky in the narrow parts. The grip is not where it should be. We have time now to check the pace notes.
07. 07. 2024 11:25
07. 07. 2024 10:25 CET
12 flash info (12 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): I think we were a little bit too slow in the last part. Just a little bit too cautious, seems that when it is a little bit damp we could go off a bit. I'm doing what I can but Virves is fast today.
07. 07. 2024 11:22
07. 07. 2024 10:22 CET
12 flash info (14 - Gryazin Nikolay / Mālnieks Andris): It feels super slow, some places maybe I was sideways too much, some places I have massive understeer. Let's see what the guys behind will do but I know it is not possible to catch them.
07. 07. 2024 11:21
07. 07. 2024 10:21 CET
12 flash info (5 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): If I was lucky on the previous one that is the end of the luck for us. After the jump, I landed with full throttle, then the engine stopped. Nothing happened with the throttle, I switched the engine off and on again. I just came through slowly.
07. 07. 2024 11:16
07. 07. 2024 10:16 CET
12 flash info (6 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): That one was not good, very technical and very demanding. I was driving according to my perception, we can cool down a bit now. We are on the finish line and I hope we can go for it on the Power Stage.
07. 07. 2024 11:13
07. 07. 2024 10:13 CET
12 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): Two missed junctions, we misunderstood each other and I thought it was a crest 40 and a junction. Way ahead, it happened again so I think we need to check the pace notes. Easily 8 sec.
07. 07. 2024 11:12
07. 07. 2024 10:12 CET
12 (4 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): missed junction
07. 07. 2024 11:10
07. 07. 2024 10:10 CET
12 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's a very technical stage, really hard on the pace-notes and you can't really read the corners. We're in no-man's land so just trying to keep it tidy. When the rain comes on this stage and it's already slippery in the dry, it's not going to be a stage to look forward to.
07. 07. 2024 11:06
07. 07. 2024 10:06 CET
12 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): Armstrong's problem, not mine! He is behind so he has to push to catch me. It was okay, we did it without any kind of problem. But not so great for me.
07. 07. 2024 11:04
07. 07. 2024 10:04 CET
12 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): Just finish the race and go back working.
07. 07. 2024 11:01
07. 07. 2024 10:01 CET
12 flash info (18 - Jeets Gregor / Taniel Timo): The stage was slippier than I thought. The end part was narrow and I think I lost a lot there. Still don't know how to get the time from narrow places.
07. 07. 2024 11:00
07. 07. 2024 10:00 CET
12 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): Much better than the first one, I made the car a lot different. These stages are so narrow and there is a lot of traction, so we're just trying to keep the front in. Let's see where that leaves us.
07. 07. 2024 10:58
07. 07. 2024 09:58 CET
12 flash info (16 - Asunmaa Teemu / Mannisenmäki Ville): We have three or four different sponsors during the rally! The camera guys thought the steering wheel would be a good place to put sponsors.
07. 07. 2024 10:54
07. 07. 2024 09:54 CET
12 flash info (20 - Yamamoto Yuki / Salminen Marko): Hanninen always advises me, this morning is just learning all the kilometres. Getting to grips with the pace and the rhythm, so let's keep pushing.
07. 07. 2024 10:54
07. 07. 2024 09:54 CET
12 flash info (9 - Larsen Frank Tore / Eriksen Torstein): There is something missing still to find the pace, I am trying everything I can but I am really struggling at the moment. Still trying to find some pace.
07. 07. 2024 10:52
07. 07. 2024 09:52 CET
12 flash info (19 - Kasari Kaspar / Raidma Rainis): Really slippery and it could clean a lot. Even on the straights and the braking, it's really slippery, even in the chicanes.
07. 07. 2024 11:11

11 flash info (10 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): We are just driving, wasn't good driving this morning but we have nowhere to rush. Good stage for Virves. Let's go Juniors!
07. 07. 2024 10:13
07. 07. 2024 09:13 CET
11 flash info (21 - Allen Philip / Furniss Dale): So slippery! The corners in second gear, we nearly overshot them all. We're through it, tricky stage.
07. 07. 2024 10:12
07. 07. 2024 09:12 CET
11 flash info (15 - Virves Robert / Drew Craig): Small problem with the pop-off, but it should be okay. We had a clean run towards the end, I was struggling quite a bit on this narrow section, but it is otherwise okay.
07. 07. 2024 10:10
07. 07. 2024 09:10 CET
11 flash info (12 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): We had a lot of mud and slid wide. Robert's birthday and mine tomorrow.
07. 07. 2024 10:08
07. 07. 2024 09:08 CET
11 flash info (14 - Gryazin Nikolay / Mālnieks Andris): I was disastrous from my side. We changed a lot in the car. I even crashed in one place honest, in one slippery place, the grass place. Be careful, I got stuck in the left corner! It's good to know the time was quick.
07. 07. 2024 10:07
07. 07. 2024 09:07 CET
11 flash info (5 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): Really big surprises in a few places, I hit a tree quite heavy with the rear right. I don't know how much damage but I am not always unlucky.
07. 07. 2024 10:04
07. 07. 2024 09:04 CET
11 flash info (6 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We need to go for the next one, it is quite hot and we are on soft tyre. It was not perfect on my side, but we are starting the day.
07. 07. 2024 10:03
07. 07. 2024 09:03 CET
11 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): We try to have a good rhythm, it will be a long day. The grip is so unpredictable, struggled to find the grip in there and didn't get the rhythm. It was a difficult stage for us.
07. 07. 2024 10:00
07. 07. 2024 09:00 CET
11 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's quite painful on my side! Had to check on [Kennard] at the end, there is a lot of jumps and compressions in there. We just have to keep pushing.
07. 07. 2024 09:57
07. 07. 2024 08:57 CET
11 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): Nice! Slippery quite a lot in there.
07. 07. 2024 09:55
07. 07. 2024 08:55 CET
11 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): Nothing to say...
07. 07. 2024 09:54
07. 07. 2024 08:54 CET
11 flash info (18 - Jeets Gregor / Taniel Timo): We did two big slides there, the last part was so slippery. In the first three corners we went wide. We have to be careful.
07. 07. 2024 09:52
07. 07. 2024 08:52 CET
11 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): I had a couple of small overshoots, it is quite slippery in there. There is a bit of moisture in the narrow places and there is some grass on the road, a bit muddy. Not very clean, we'll have to see for the next one.
07. 07. 2024 09:50
07. 07. 2024 08:50 CET
11 flash info (16 - Asunmaa Teemu / Mannisenmäki Ville): It's quite different. Now is much easier to follow the line and the grip level in the line is much better. Still, I am missing in some places and lose three to four seconds in the road but much, much better.
07. 07. 2024 09:49
07. 07. 2024 08:49 CET
11 flash info (20 - Yamamoto Yuki / Salminen Marko): I tried to be clean as much as possible all weekend. This wasn't so good but the Sunday stages are so tricky so I just try to get through.
07. 07. 2024 09:48
07. 07. 2024 08:48 CET
11 flash info (9 - Larsen Frank Tore / Eriksen Torstein): It was really low grip, it was a really demanding stage to start the day. I was sliding everywhere and there was no feeling at all. Not very easy but a nice stage at least.
07. 07. 2024 09:44
07. 07. 2024 08:44 CET
11 flash info (19 - Kasari Kaspar / Raidma Rainis): In Estonia we have experience with cleaning roads! It was crazy, slippery and we went off on a corner into a ditch!

10 flash info (12 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): It's been good day] it's been a great battle. Only 1.0sec between us now, so we go again tomorrow. No matter what I would've said young Georg Linnamäe wouldn't have believed it.
06. 07. 2024 20:51
06. 07. 2024 19:51 CET
10 flash info (14 - Gryazin Nikolay / Mālnieks Andris): I don't check the results yet. For me now it is good that we don't open the road tomorrow. My target is to work with the car. Today was quite a good result with all the things that we had. I prepared for this stage.
06. 07. 2024 20:49
06. 07. 2024 19:49 CET
10 flash info (5 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): Quite an interesting feeling! We had a nice day in general, but especially on the last three stages we have lost lot of time, but that's life and rallying. We need to find the rhythm.
06. 07. 2024 20:47
06. 07. 2024 19:47 CET
10 flash info (15 - Virves Robert / Drew Craig): It's important to keep it in the forest where the proper rally is taking place. These kind of stages are actually quite nice if you have the proper tyres to do it, it can be good fun.
06. 07. 2024 20:47
06. 07. 2024 19:47 CET
10 flash info (18 - Jeets Gregor / Taniel Timo): On home roads it's always a pleasure. After such a long break it is quite difficult, but it is getting better and we are enjoying.
06. 07. 2024 20:43
06. 07. 2024 19:43 CET
10 flash info (10 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Please tell me we had the biggest slide! That's probably the only one thing we did right today! Tomorrow we will be more relaxed for good times and stage end interviews!
06. 07. 2024 20:41
06. 07. 2024 19:41 CET
10 flash info (6 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was a good day, being between Paddon and Østberg is a good thing. We lost a little bit on the last few runs, for sure we will just continuing driving like today. We're trying to be clear in the lines, like my mentor Mads Østberg says.
06. 07. 2024 20:40
06. 07. 2024 19:40 CET
10 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): I'm so surprised, it is a really strong car. It is driving pretty straight and we haven't had to do too much repairs. The front popped out of a right when I was really committed and I clipped a tree. We'll review and go again tomorrow.
06. 07. 2024 20:37
06. 07. 2024 19:37 CET
10 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): I never hold an tricks back to the guys I coach Marczyk, I try to beat them still but it will be harder and harder. It's a nice fight, I think we're in a good rhythm and we're excited for tomorrow.
06. 07. 2024 20:35
06. 07. 2024 19:35 CET
10 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): I think we did a great job except a small mistake, we had a clean run. We are improving and that is the most important thing. I think we made a great job today, let's see tomorrow.
06. 07. 2024 20:35
06. 07. 2024 19:35 CET
10 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): For sure we can learn a lot of things, it is my first time in Estonia so we can see a new road and style of driving. The ruts are so special in this country. For sure we have to work on my driving and the car. Last week Sesks said 'why you driving so fast!?', but I am saying 'why you driving so slow?!
06. 07. 2024 20:33
06. 07. 2024 19:33 CET
10 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Obviously we'll see what the others do, tough old day at the office but we can press the reset button and go again. Damage limitation is how we'd sum up today, started off on the back-foot thanks to qualifying, nine times out of ten we'd have cooked the motor this morning so we're happy we're here.
06. 07. 2024 20:32
06. 07. 2024 19:32 CET
10 flash info (19 - Kasari Kaspar / Raidma Rainis): A little accident exiting; so sorry! It was fun. Thanks.
06. 07. 2024 20:31

10 (19 - Kasari Kaspar / Raidma Rainis): in turnaround he did two more loops
06. 07. 2024 20:27
06. 07. 2024 19:27 CET
10 flash info (9 - Larsen Frank Tore / Eriksen Torstein): We were able to fix the power steering before the stage, the oil reservoir came loose so I just tightened it. Very, very tough day but we'll be back at it tomorrow.
06. 07. 2024 20:27
06. 07. 2024 19:27 CET
10 flash info (16 - Asunmaa Teemu / Mannisenmäki Ville): Very good news to not open the road tomorrow. It's a good experience, means quite a lot of TV time also! Funny day, learnt a little bit of something in the car. Normally we drive in Finland, result is quite bad but as we know as the first car on the road is not the best option to start.

06. 07. 2024 18:43 CET
9 flash info (27 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): We will have to push quite hard, the Estonian guys have been quite fast. There is no holding back, and with the ruts and the Rally3 sometimes it is a bit sketchy, you know?
06. 07. 2024 19:43
06. 07. 2024 18:43 CET
9 flash info (20 - Yamamoto Yuki / Salminen Marko): This day has been really good for me, lots to learn with the conditions and deep ruts. Just one more stage to go, let's have a fun day.
06. 07. 2024 19:42
06. 07. 2024 18:42 CET
9 flash info (11 - Costenaro Giacomo / Ometto Pietro Elia): I think that it is polite to call it tougher. It is really tough to drive, at least for me. Heading to the last stage and hope that the day is over.
06. 07. 2024 19:39
06. 07. 2024 18:39 CET
9 flash info (21 - Allen Philip / Furniss Dale): Really rough, really, really rough! The ruts are just getting... it's like a rollercoaster! You can understand why a few people made a mistake in there. We're not pushing a lot today, we're just trying to learn. Let's see if we can get a little bit closer per kilometre to the earlier runners.
06. 07. 2024 19:36
06. 07. 2024 18:36 CET
9 flash info (12 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): Virves used new tyres for this loop, for us no chance with the old tyres on this stage. It was too slippery. It's good fun between myself and Virves to be fighting with a good friend, as long as we come out on top it'll be fine.
06. 07. 2024 19:34
06. 07. 2024 18:34 CET
9 flash info (14 - Gryazin Nikolay / Mālnieks Andris): Pffff. At least I tried my best. I feel on the beginning I didn't understand how to drive. After the last part, I feel I tried. It will be good mood after this.
06. 07. 2024 19:32
06. 07. 2024 18:32 CET
9 flash info (5 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): I don't understand this time, we had a really good stage. I don't understand.
06. 07. 2024 19:32
06. 07. 2024 18:32 CET
9 flash info (15 - Virves Robert / Drew Craig): To be fair, I didn't expect it to be that rough, some strange ruts again. Not a very good run to be honest.
06. 07. 2024 19:31
06. 07. 2024 18:31 CET
9 flash info (10 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): What can I say? Tough day. Still one stage to go. I don't know what else can happen today, we had everything. Puncture, three pop-offs, broken arm at the rear.
06. 07. 2024 19:27
06. 07. 2024 18:27 CET
9 flash info (18 - Jeets Gregor / Taniel Timo): Sesks changed a tyre. The stage was quite rapid and rough, the car came out of the line many times. The feeling is much better than in the morning, but we can improve a lot.
06. 07. 2024 19:26
06. 07. 2024 18:26 CET
9 flash info (6 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We have one more stage to go and this one was a little bit rough. There were some stones in the line and we git some of them.
06. 07. 2024 19:23
06. 07. 2024 18:23 CET
9 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): We need to see what the damage is like but hopefully it is not too bad.

06. 07. 2024 18:22 CET
9 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): The position was mine already, we had a good run in here. Not a lot to say. We had a big impact in the first few kilometres, I thought I had a puncture but I could push from there on.
06. 07. 2024 19:19
06. 07. 2024 18:19 CET

06. 07. 2024 18:16 CET

06. 07. 2024 19:16
06. 07. 2024 18:16 CET
9 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): The same. I don't want to say all the time the same thing, this is life sometimes. With the performance or without, today was without. To arrive is still good.
06. 07. 2024 19:14
06. 07. 2024 18:14 CET
9 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We're lucky in this one, we hit a massive rock in the start of the road and it bent the steering a bit. If we can climb up the road position tomorrow and put up a fight for the guys in front of us, but we're a sitting duck at the moment.
06. 07. 2024 19:14
06. 07. 2024 18:14 CET
9 flash info (19 - Kasari Kaspar / Raidma Rainis): We learned much. Because it is our first rally in Estonia and our first big rally in this car, there is so much learning but I think we have made a big step up and that is positive.
06. 07. 2024 19:10
06. 07. 2024 18:10 CET
9 flash info (9 - Larsen Frank Tore / Eriksen Torstein): I lost the power steering a few kilometres before the end so we have to stop now and see what has happened.
06. 07. 2024 19:09
06. 07. 2024 18:09 CET

06. 07. 2024 19:09
06. 07. 2024 18:09 CET
9 flash info (16 - Asunmaa Teemu / Mannisenmäki Ville): It's difficult today, it's very slippery all day. Okay, first car in a row, lots of loose gravel. We are learning a lot. First time in European championship event. First time very clean, lots of rocks in the road. All good.
06. 07. 2024 19:01
06. 07. 2024 18:01 CET

06. 07. 2024 18:10
06. 07. 2024 17:10 CET
8 flash info (12 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): We tried to push, Virves is on new tyres so we will see what happens, we are on used ones.
06. 07. 2024 18:09
06. 07. 2024 17:09 CET
8 flash info (14 - Gryazin Nikolay / Mālnieks Andris): Much better! I think it is the most slippery stage of the day. Not so bad, even I felt okay I can be faster. I felt I was risking a lot in some places. Nice run, it will be difficult to fight with the guys. Everywhere, I need to find those positives.
06. 07. 2024 18:06
06. 07. 2024 17:06 CET
8 flash info (5 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): I was pushing, I had a couple of bad lines where we lost the front a few times. But, quite okay run.
06. 07. 2024 18:04
06. 07. 2024 17:04 CET
8 flash info (15 - Virves Robert / Drew Craig): To be honest it was bigger than I was expecting. The road is also developing, so definitely better.
06. 07. 2024 18:02
06. 07. 2024 17:02 CET
8 flash info (18 - Jeets Gregor / Taniel Timo): Actually some places are quite rough, before the main straights I went wide and lost some time. Overall though, the feeling is getting better.
06. 07. 2024 17:59
06. 07. 2024 16:59 CET
8 flash info (10 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): At least it is going quite fast, pop off is ok! I think maybe we should have tried another option with tyres but I think on the longer one it will be better.
06. 07. 2024 17:59
06. 07. 2024 16:59 CET
8 flash info (6 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We need to wait to the end of the day. It is a good day for us, it is the best day in ERC since 2021. Now is a more demanding stage for me, I would like to be focused and do a proper run Mäeküla.
06. 07. 2024 17:56
06. 07. 2024 16:56 CET
8 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): We're not gonna let them go easy! We're having a little push, thanks to my engineer and all the boys in service. We're taking a step forward fighting these drivers.
06. 07. 2024 17:53
06. 07. 2024 16:53 CET
8 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): To be honest the tyres work really well but I felt not so good in the car. I don't know why, but a lot of understeer.
06. 07. 2024 17:52
06. 07. 2024 16:52 CET
8 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): A little bit more rutted, but it was okay. We had a two-wheel moment in the first corner, it was a proper one I think.
06. 07. 2024 17:50
06. 07. 2024 16:50 CET
8 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): We can say yeah, the confidence is better. This stage is nice, you can take good pleasure. It's a long weekend, I have to learn about this weekend and try to keep pushing.
06. 07. 2024 17:48
06. 07. 2024 16:48 CET
8 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): The ruts are not so bad in this one, I can enjoy the stage and the car seems to be working well. There is some dampness in the stage that has dried out so it's a bit loose in there, but a nice stage and couldn't have done much more.
06. 07. 2024 17:45
06. 07. 2024 16:45 CET
8 flash info (19 - Kasari Kaspar / Raidma Rainis): We took it at our own pace, it was really fun. No risks and having fun. Thank you.
06. 07. 2024 17:44
06. 07. 2024 16:44 CET
8 flash info (9 - Larsen Frank Tore / Eriksen Torstein): I think the bumper feels the same way as I do! We have tried taping it and everything but it just hanging on!
06. 07. 2024 17:42
06. 07. 2024 16:42 CET
8 flash info (16 - Asunmaa Teemu / Mannisenmäki Ville): It's good. It's a very big jump. Maybe two times! Maybe 40m is not enough. Quite clean, on the small road section the loose gravel is in the line but other than that, much much better.
06. 07. 2024 19:34

06. 07. 2024 15:31 CET
7 flash info (20 - Yamamoto Yuki / Salminen Marko): This stage was the most tricky one of the day, lots of damp places which I took with a bit of caution. It's okay, let's keep pushing.
06. 07. 2024 16:31
06. 07. 2024 15:31 CET
7 flash info (11 - Costenaro Giacomo / Ometto Pietro Elia): I am enjoying, but they are difficult. The narrow sections are so fast and most of the corners are blind, you need to have good pace-notes so it's not easy if you go fast. For me, I am having fun.
06. 07. 2024 16:28
06. 07. 2024 15:28 CET
7 flash info (21 - Allen Philip / Furniss Dale): The road is grand, I'm just struggling with a bit of commitment. First time here. I just need to get a bit more commitment and try a bit harder as it goes along.
06. 07. 2024 16:25
06. 07. 2024 15:25 CET
7 flash info (12 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): I don't know if it's the surface, but it just feels like we're missing something or we're missing confidence, but everyone is struggling. It's a home rally for me, I'm from Tartu, so it is a dream come true for sure.
06. 07. 2024 16:24
06. 07. 2024 15:24 CET
7 flash info (14 - Gryazin Nikolay / Mālnieks Andris): It was feeling super slow because we are using the soft tyres which may be better in some places but overall it feels like the car is floating. It's getting more slippery because the layer on the outside is getting out. Let's see what Linnamäe can do behind. It was a big attack.
06. 07. 2024 16:22
06. 07. 2024 15:22 CET
7 flash info (5 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): I think we lost it in a chicane when we were braking and I spun. Without that, it would've been a really good stage.
06. 07. 2024 16:20
06. 07. 2024 15:20 CET
7 (5 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): spun
06. 07. 2024 16:19
06. 07. 2024 15:19 CET
7 flash info (15 - Virves Robert / Drew Craig): To be fair, it's more about having fun because that's when things usually go better. There's no extra stress; we just try to do our best.
06. 07. 2024 16:17
06. 07. 2024 15:17 CET
7 flash info (18 - Jeets Gregor / Taniel Timo): I'm not happy. It has been a long break, a new car. The feeling is getting a little closer to good. Went wide in three corners and lost some time but the feeling is getting better.
06. 07. 2024 16:15
06. 07. 2024 15:15 CET
7 flash info (10 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It's undriveable. We are on the softest and pop off still keeps opening, you are driving on the striaght and nothing is happening. Yeah, shame.
06. 07. 2024 16:13
06. 07. 2024 15:13 CET
7 flash info (6 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): This one was more demanding, pace notes changing in sections. I was trying, some places were in the speed, others were too slow.
06. 07. 2024 16:11
06. 07. 2024 15:11 CET
7 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): We're pushing, not such a contrast that stage. So narrow and quite slippery in some places. Some places I wasn't so tidy, some places I could've pushed harder. It's good to be fighting with Mads and Paddon, two ex-WRC drivers, so let's see what we can do and keep fighting.
06. 07. 2024 16:09
06. 07. 2024 15:09 CET
7 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): The car is working well so that's really nice. Just a bit unhappy with my tyre choice, we are on the harder option and it is wet in the stages, but we had two good stages so we can't complain.
06. 07. 2024 16:07
06. 07. 2024 15:07 CET
7 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It's full dry and I am still aqua-planing! It is incredible!
06. 07. 2024 16:06
06. 07. 2024 15:06 CET
7 (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): overshot junction
06. 07. 2024 16:05
06. 07. 2024 15:05 CET
7 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): I have zero confidence. It's like this. Really, it's just between the seat and the steering wheel.
06. 07. 2024 16:03
06. 07. 2024 15:03 CET
7 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): There has been a bit more rain on this one so it is a bit damper. Because it is a bit loose, we pushed a bit in there and overshot a junction. Other than that, all good.
06. 07. 2024 15:59
06. 07. 2024 14:59 CET
7 flash info (9 - Larsen Frank Tore / Eriksen Torstein): Probably not too much road cleaning, it is quite damp in the forest part by bad driving on my side.
06. 07. 2024 15:57
06. 07. 2024 14:57 CET
7 flash info (16 - Asunmaa Teemu / Mannisenmäki Ville): Quite good level in the grip. In the forest there is so many places that are still very slippery. 70 percent is the damp and the other is dry, so quite okay.
06. 07. 2024 19:33
06. 07. 2024 18:33 CET
6 (29 - Enok Patrick / Simm Silver): spun

6 retired (52 - Keldo Tiit / Toome Jaagup): broken windscreen after SS 6
06. 07. 2024 15:01
06. 07. 2024 14:01 CET
6 flash info (12 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): We got rain at the start, so at the start it was quite slippery. I'm surprised, I thought we would lose a bit more time but that's good. I tried to be as committed as I could.
06. 07. 2024 14:57
06. 07. 2024 13:57 CET
6 flash info (14 - Gryazin Nikolay / Mālnieks Andris): It was slippier, when we started the stage we did not have the rain but it is not helping for sure. The car is moving too much, so the tyre choice is maybe not the best. We will continue to work, this is the only option.
06. 07. 2024 14:55
06. 07. 2024 13:55 CET
6 flash info (5 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): It was really slippery again and we had a rear pop-off opening after a big jump on a 500m straight. I don't know what is wrong with that.
06. 07. 2024 14:54
06. 07. 2024 13:54 CET
6 flash info (15 - Virves Robert / Drew Craig): It actually did affect us a bit the rain, we are on used tyres as well. Was quite slippery, let's see how the others do.
06. 07. 2024 14:51
06. 07. 2024 13:51 CET
6 flash info (18 - Jeets Gregor / Taniel Timo): It was quite slippery, especially after the rain. Maybe took it a little too careful, but getting very slippery now.
06. 07. 2024 14:49
06. 07. 2024 13:49 CET
6 flash info (10 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): We had technical issue. It is the pop-off, 26 times open. Alright, thank you.
06. 07. 2024 14:48
06. 07. 2024 13:48 CET
6 flash info (6 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): This year was more slippery, but we will try on the second loop to catch the guys because it has cleaned quite a lot. The surface is tricky, because it is getting dryer and dryer.
06. 07. 2024 14:48
06. 07. 2024 13:48 CET
6 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): It's quite a good stage, obviously the first part is new so maybe we had quite a good rhythm on that. Sometimes overdriving, sometimes underdriving. The time isn't too bad and it looks like we have a bit of a battle with [Østberg] so we have that to look forward to.
06. 07. 2024 14:43
06. 07. 2024 13:43 CET
6 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): It's quite nice the stage format with two stages and service, it's like we're doing two rallies in one stage.
06. 07. 2024 14:41
06. 07. 2024 13:41 CET
6 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): I think it was okay, I really enjoyed it. It was funny because there was a hairpin and I turned the car with the front.
06. 07. 2024 14:41
06. 07. 2024 13:41 CET
6 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): A bit better feeling than this morning, nothing for sure we are not fast like I want. We continue to learn, now the tyre strategy is better.
06. 07. 2024 14:39
06. 07. 2024 13:39 CET
6 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Loose! Much looser than the first stages this morning, the stages will get quicker with all the cars. Bit frustrating we're in this position, with qualifying yesterday it's out of our control. We'll do what we can.
06. 07. 2024 14:35
06. 07. 2024 13:35 CET
6 flash info (19 - Kasari Kaspar / Raidma Rainis): We had a crazy moment; the last jump, we went flat out and the car landed awkwardly, we were really lucky. The next corner we were almost off, so we are really lucky.
06. 07. 2024 14:35
06. 07. 2024 13:35 CET
6 flash info (9 - Larsen Frank Tore / Eriksen Torstein): No issues, trying to do a little bit better step by step. Just missing some perfection in the driving.
06. 07. 2024 14:35
06. 07. 2024 13:35 CET
6 flash info (16 - Asunmaa Teemu / Mannisenmäki Ville): It's okay now, it's a little bit damp in the road. In some places the grip level is a bit higher, in some places there is no line. It was a bit difficult in the last few sections because there is water and it was difficult to break with all the water, so we lost some power.
06. 07. 2024 14:34
06. 07. 2024 13:34 CET
6 Road is damp, lenty of water in the ruts throughout the stage.
06. 07. 2024 15:53
06. 07. 2024 14:53 CET
5 (33 - Polášek Daniel / Omelka Zdeněk): stuck in ruts
06. 07. 2024 13:15
06. 07. 2024 12:15 CET
5 retired (31 - McRae Max / Fair Cameron): accident in SS 5
06. 07. 2024 12:44
06. 07. 2024 11:44 CET
5 flash info (12 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): We had a slight drizzle, at the end our car is quite low so in the ruts it is basically impossible.
06. 07. 2024 12:44
06. 07. 2024 11:44 CET
5 flash info (14 - Gryazin Nikolay / Mālnieks Andris): I am not sure if I finish the rally with this pace.
06. 07. 2024 12:37
06. 07. 2024 11:37 CET
5 flash info (5 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): Disappointed, Virves is flying. I cannot match the speed with him, I was trying. In a few place we've been a bit careful.
06. 07. 2024 12:37
06. 07. 2024 11:37 CET
5 flash info (15 - Virves Robert / Drew Craig): In the morning on the first one we lifted the right side slightly. Whereas on this one, we were lying on co-driver's side, so I am a bit lighter than him! It's good to be in these battles. The last one was not very enjoyable but we'll wait to see Linnamäe's time.
06. 07. 2024 12:35
06. 07. 2024 11:35 CET
5 flash info (18 - Jeets Gregor / Taniel Timo): After the last few kilometres we had the rain but it doesn't affect grip. Slowly our confidence is coming.
06. 07. 2024 12:30
06. 07. 2024 11:30 CET
5 flash info (10 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I think we hit something, there was two corners before the end and the car feels like the steering is not quite right. Or maybe with left rear.
06. 07. 2024 12:28
06. 07. 2024 11:28 CET
5 flash info (6 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): The target is to drive like that; clean lines, not overpushing the exit of the corners and being clean in the ruts. Sometimes here in the roughest places we are being careful with the speed and not hitting the ruts. We are going into the second loop with new stages and I am happy with our performance form the morning and hope we can continue like that.
06. 07. 2024 12:27
06. 07. 2024 11:27 CET
5 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): It's a strange format because we go into fresh stages again, so they won't be rutted like this one. That was interesting, I think we made some good setup changes before the last one. We're pushing but obviously Mads is also pushing so we'll see what we can do.
06. 07. 2024 12:25
06. 07. 2024 11:25 CET
5 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): It's improving, of course it is drying so much so we can see from every car it is getting better and better. We have that advantage over the guys ahead of us and the guys behind have that advantage lover us. We just have to keep improving stage by stage and hopefully be in a good position come the end of the day.
06. 07. 2024 12:22
06. 07. 2024 11:22 CET
5 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It's something different from the first pass for sure. It's not an easy condition, we have a lot of big ruts for sure. I am improving, I feel great in the car. Let's see for the next loop of stages, whether it will be different.
06. 07. 2024 12:20
06. 07. 2024 11:20 CET
5 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): I think it's like a 2WD line, when you have 4WD you want to turn before the corner and with these ruts I need to turn when the road turns. The positivity is that we continue to learn. Every new thing is a good thing for the future.
06. 07. 2024 12:19
06. 07. 2024 11:19 CET
5 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Magic! A bit rutted in places, normal thing to struggle when it gets rutted with the setup we have.
06. 07. 2024 12:19
06. 07. 2024 11:19 CET
5 (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): puncture
06. 07. 2024 12:17
06. 07. 2024 11:17 CET
5 flash info (19 - Kasari Kaspar / Raidma Rainis): Not much difference. It's in good condition, the last one was really rough. It was okay but I don't know how to drive chicanes, I just always brake too early.
06. 07. 2024 12:15
06. 07. 2024 11:15 CET
5 flash info (9 - Larsen Frank Tore / Eriksen Torstein): It was a little bit different surface, I feel on the nice, flowing parts it feels too high and too soft, but on the other parts it feels too low, so it's just trying to adapt to the conditions.
06. 07. 2024 12:14
06. 07. 2024 11:14 CET
5 flash info (16 - Asunmaa Teemu / Mannisenmäki Ville): Previous one is much more rutted, this one is much better. The line is a bit better than the last one. Quite a lot of loose gravel in the line.
06. 07. 2024 12:04
06. 07. 2024 11:04 CET
5 Not raining, stage is mostly dry.

06. 07. 2024 10:50 CET
4 flash info (12 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): It's quite exciting, it's good fun. We tried to push a bit more on this one, for sure.
06. 07. 2024 11:47
06. 07. 2024 10:47 CET
4 flash info (14 - Gryazin Nikolay / Mālnieks Andris): This time is much worse. All the ruts I don't feel that my tyres are on the road they just feel like they're on the bottom. Super difficult to drive and time-wise, again we feel we should be doing better.
06. 07. 2024 11:45
06. 07. 2024 10:45 CET
4 flash info (5 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): Quite good stage from me, Linnamae seems to be playing and also the others. We had quite a few pop-off openings, like four or five times.
06. 07. 2024 11:45
06. 07. 2024 10:45 CET
4 flash info (15 - Virves Robert / Drew Craig): We tried to avoid mistakes before, but I must say it didn't feel very good. Very strange lines from the national cars. The fastest cars are coming from behind so we'll see.
06. 07. 2024 11:40
06. 07. 2024 10:40 CET
4 flash info (18 - Jeets Gregor / Taniel Timo): It was quite rough, in many places we went out of the ruts. We lost some time and in many places we got some big hits. Let's see.
06. 07. 2024 11:39
06. 07. 2024 10:39 CET
4 flash info (17 - Korhola Benjamin / Virtanen Sebastian): One kilometre before the end, there was a huge stone in the ruts. Nothing I could do, I was on the line.

06. 07. 2024 11:36
06. 07. 2024 10:36 CET
4 flash info (10 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): We have pop-off opening all the time, it is not perfect. We have six of them, so my engineer knows and he is telling me what to do now.
06. 07. 2024 11:36
06. 07. 2024 10:36 CET
4 flash info (6 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): Not very good at ruts, we are trying. Maybe now we have an idea about setup adjustments, in some places I was better in the ruts and in some places I knew better where to put the car.
06. 07. 2024 11:34
06. 07. 2024 10:34 CET
4 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): It was quite messy from my side, I struggled with the ruts. Obviously the road is getting very destroyed. Just need to keep the car in the ruts, I'm sure I gave away 4sec or 5sec, little bit messy out the junctions.
06. 07. 2024 11:31
06. 07. 2024 10:31 CET
4 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): Just fixed the car. We changed quite a lot of things just to be sure but we had an issue with the rear brakes. The balance was completely off and we needed to fine tune it to perform. The guys fixed it and we're happy to improve from here.
06. 07. 2024 11:29
06. 07. 2024 10:29 CET
4 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It's enough, 0.1sec faster than the reigning champion. I think I did a great run, it started to be a little bit more rough, but it is nice and enjoyable.
06. 07. 2024 11:28
06. 07. 2024 10:28 CET
4 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): We have the same choice as this morning for tyres. I think it is blue and yellow round Michelin tyres. Difficult stage, you have to have big confidence to keep the speed.
06. 07. 2024 11:26
06. 07. 2024 10:26 CET
4 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It was no stress, we've been there and done it before. We knew it was under control and we had to amaneg it, if you get too red-headed you'll lose the motor so we just took a chill pill. It was quite rutted in this stage.
06. 07. 2024 11:22
06. 07. 2024 10:22 CET
4 flash info (19 - Kasari Kaspar / Raidma Rainis): It was a bad stage for us, I did two big mistakes. I think we left 10sec.
06. 07. 2024 11:21
06. 07. 2024 10:21 CET
4 flash info (9 - Larsen Frank Tore / Eriksen Torstein): I changed to the hard tyres for the second loop, this looks correct as it was almost completely dry in there. Little better feeling now, we are just going with the pace notes and going with the flow.
06. 07. 2024 11:19
06. 07. 2024 10:19 CET
4 flash info (16 - Asunmaa Teemu / Mannisenmäki Ville): It's difficult conditions, in some places it is quite damaged and also in the line it is quite wrong. The national cars are driving in and it can be quite tight in the corner, quite a lot of loose gravel on the line but it is what it is.
06. 07. 2024 11:06
06. 07. 2024 10:06 CET

06. 07. 2024 09:24
06. 07. 2024 08:24 CET
3 flash info (5 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): Really changing grip. Difficult to predict, when you lose the car you have massive grip. Clean run but I don't know if the driving was good in here.
06. 07. 2024 09:23
06. 07. 2024 08:23 CET
3 flash info (15 - Virves Robert / Drew Craig): It's been really wet, luckily the heaviest rain stopped before us. We had a clean run nothing special, let's see what the others can do behind.
06. 07. 2024 09:21
06. 07. 2024 08:21 CET
3 flash info (18 - Jeets Gregor / Taniel Timo): It was quite tricky because in the beginning we had quite a bit of rain. It was a bit slippery, second part the rain stopped. Time is not the best but we will try to improve.
06. 07. 2024 09:18
06. 07. 2024 08:18 CET
3 flash info (17 - Korhola Benjamin / Virtanen Sebastian): It was really difficult to start the stage like this. The rain started just before us, it was really hard to judge the grip and find the confidence in these conditions.
06. 07. 2024 09:18
06. 07. 2024 08:18 CET
3 flash info (10 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): We got such hard rain and in times you could not even see! Not easy to start this weekend. It hasn't started well.
06. 07. 2024 09:13
06. 07. 2024 08:13 CET
3 flash info (6 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We have for like 2.5km heavy shower, then last 3km without. Conditions will change a lot on this stage and it will affect results. I struggled a little bit to see the corners in the fast place.
06. 07. 2024 09:12
06. 07. 2024 08:12 CET
3 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): There's some standing water towards the end. We had a really heavy shower in the middle of the stage where we lost some time, it was so heavy that you couldn't even see out of the windscreen. I'm sure the guys behind will have some, so let's just keep going.
06. 07. 2024 09:07
06. 07. 2024 08:07 CET
3 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It's incredible, every time there is something. This time the rain comes and not like spray! We lost a lot. I don't know what to say. It's bad luck.
06. 07. 2024 09:03
06. 07. 2024 08:03 CET
3 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We're obviously managing issues still, not full attack because we've got a lot of pressure and no water in the system. The weather is going to be a big decider in this rally but we'll keep it up.
06. 07. 2024 09:02

3 flash info (9 - Larsen Frank Tore / Eriksen Torstein): I think we have to do a change because of the ruts. I was hoping for rain for the first loop but now our tyre choice is not optimal. Let's keep going.

06. 07. 2024 07:56 CET
3 flash info (16 - Asunmaa Teemu / Mannisenmäki Ville): I the beginning there is quite a lot loose gravel but in the end of the stage it is better. Better than the first one, but difficult.

2 flash info (12 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): Honestly, it didn't feel as good as last year. Road is quite soft and there is a lot of movement in the car. I was thinking this is not so good, but it seems to suit us and the car as well.
06. 07. 2024 08:34
06. 07. 2024 07:34 CET
2 flash info (14 - Gryazin Nikolay / Mālnieks Andris): I don't know if Robert is not pushing like in Poland because I am driving super slow. I need to work with the car, I don't feel super confident with the setup now, I just want to work with the car to prepare for the next event. Time is not that bad I will say, jumps are fun. I tried not to jump so much on the main road. If you can breathe you did not go hard enough.

2 flash info (5 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): We did fix the gear lever. I lost some time at the beginning of the loose gravel, there is zero grip. It wasn't the perfect stage.
06. 07. 2024 08:28
06. 07. 2024 07:28 CET
2 flash info (15 - Virves Robert / Drew Craig): Actually, there is too much of a story to tell now. We are quite lucky, we cut into a bank and had a two wheel moment. I also had to spin in a junction-left, so we had to reverse. Luckily, we had a good time.

06. 07. 2024 07:26 CET
2 flash info (17 - Korhola Benjamin / Virtanen Sebastian): There was a couple places, heavy braking that were a bit slippery that surprised me. Otherwise it was quite okay. I tried to push.

06. 07. 2024 07:23 CET
2 flash info (10 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It's strange for me driving. It's kinda stupid; I am thinking I will get some downforce through the corners and it is not there! I wasn't sure at all how I am driving, I think far off my pace. We also had a strange jump. I guess we were lucky.
06. 07. 2024 08:18
06. 07. 2024 07:18 CET
2 flash info (6 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): Tyre choice was good but it's a but slippery in there. We will try for the next one but there are fast guys behind.

06. 07. 2024 07:16 CET
2 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): Big sends only, this is a very demanding stage. Lots of bold places in there, jumps and corners over crests. The guys behind might go faster.

2 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): It was a really nice stage but I struggled a bit with the balance. I don't have a good brake balance and my brake pedal is really strange since the morning. I tried to push in places but I need to solve this in service.
06. 07. 2024 08:13
06. 07. 2024 07:13 CET
2 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It's a nice stage, I really like it. It was okay. A little loose gravel in the second part so we were sliding a little too much. I think I had a good stage.
06. 07. 2024 08:11
06. 07. 2024 07:11 CET
2 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): The morning stage, you discover the stage and it is very fast. Some jumps are crazy, in the recce you jump maybe 20m but in the stage you jump 40m or 50m. It was amazing to drive, the guys behind will be faster but that is the game.
06. 07. 2024 08:09

06. 07. 2024 07:08 CET

05. 07. 2024 19:51 CET

05. 07. 2024 20:43
05. 07. 2024 19:43 CET
1 flash info (32 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): It was quite okay, it's always difficult! You just have to be clean and get through, I hate the thing that every driver says "the rally starts tomorrow," when it starts today! You can take 0.6sec out of someone on these kind of stages.
05. 07. 2024 20:42
05. 07. 2024 19:42 CET
1 flash info (31 - McRae Max / Fair Cameron): It was fine, not the most exciting thing in a 2WD car. we still enjoy these little stages, nice to get going for the start of the rally. Looks to be a proper day, first time for me over these big jumps and these stages so looking forward to it.
05. 07. 2024 20:42
05. 07. 2024 19:42 CET
1 flash info (30 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): That was slippery! Very much understeer and some oversteer as well. Taking it easy through the stage and for me, the real rally starts tomorrow.

05. 07. 2024 19:41 CET

1 flash info (27 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): This year we can improve the speed a lot, last year was just to get through. This year we have to push.
05. 07. 2024 20:37
05. 07. 2024 19:37 CET
1 flash info (26 - Charpentier Tristan / Maillefert Alexis): It went really well but the rally is tomorrow, so we went really steady and didn't want to take any risk. There is much more to lose than to win.

05. 07. 2024 20:28
05. 07. 2024 19:28 CET
1 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Do you want to know the ironic thing? In the WRC I was rubbish on all super-special stages, if only I knew this 10 years ago! The support is awesome, even though I may be getting older and greyer, the people that have come and supported us here from the other side of the world is a big deal.
05. 07. 2024 20:24
05. 07. 2024 19:24 CET
1 flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): Nothing special. Driving bad. I think it will be difficult, but I know cleaning the road in France so maybe I can use this experience tomorrow.We will try to enjoy, it will be hard to have a good day about the result. Just take the experience and be positive.
05. 07. 2024 20:21
05. 07. 2024 19:21 CET
1 flash info (3 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): It felt good. It was nice. At the beginning I made a little mistake. I expected a bit more grip, there are a lot more cars in front. I think the road has to be a lot cleaner. An okay stage, a really slow one, we will have to see for tomorrow.
05. 07. 2024 20:19
05. 07. 2024 19:19 CET
1 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): We will try to enjoy the rally, I think that will be the key point. I forgot to put the stage mode on the start so I don't know where I was in my head. Now I learnt after five years in the car it was time to learn this!
05. 07. 2024 20:15
05. 07. 2024 19:15 CET
1 flash info (5 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): I think we need to fix the gear lever, this is quite familiar from Rally Finland last year, we need to fix this.
05. 07. 2024 20:12
05. 07. 2024 19:12 CET
1 flash info (6 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was quite slippery, not a lot of grip but a clean run. Not a very fast one but we go through.

05. 07. 2024 19:10 CET
1 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): It didn't feel particularly good, it was a bit slippery and could've been cleaner in there but good start. We need to keep it up.
05. 07. 2024 20:06
05. 07. 2024 19:06 CET
1 flash info (8 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): With a bit of wheelspin I think, I was not able to change gear and it is still so slippery. With a bit of loose gravel I think. Tomorrow is another day, the weather will be different but we'll see.
05. 07. 2024 20:03
05. 07. 2024 19:03 CET
1 flash info (9 - Larsen Frank Tore / Eriksen Torstein): It doesn't seem like that we are ready after qualifying in the first stage, but we need to continue learning and have fun this weekend. I will do the rain dance with Paddon tonight!
05. 07. 2024 20:02
05. 07. 2024 19:02 CET
1 flash info (10 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Sometimes it is like you are driving in Finland maybe, but you have surface and gravel like in Latvia. Sometimes you can feel like that but otherwise it is a unique rally with very nice stages. It will be quite a challenge to do good because there is a lot of competition this weekend. We can't wait to get onto the stages. The big role this weekend will be the weather!
05. 07. 2024 19:57
05. 07. 2024 18:57 CET
1 flash info (11 - Costenaro Giacomo / Ometto Pietro Elia): It's amazing from the spectators. We hope the weather will also be sunny tomorrow.
05. 07. 2024 19:57
05. 07. 2024 18:57 CET
1 flash info (12 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): Just typical 'Mickey Mouse', you need to be quite careful there are a lot of stones to hit. The real rally starts tomorrow so a second is a lot better than I expected if I'm being honest.
05. 07. 2024 19:52
05. 07. 2024 18:52 CET
1 flash info (14 - Gryazin Nikolay / Mālnieks Andris): Not a bit of cleaning, a lot! I like how the car did the slow corners. I was really enjoying this stuff. I never really liked this stage because it was always too slippery,. For me the rally starts tomorrow. I think the guys behind will be much faster because the road is so slippery.
05. 07. 2024 19:49
05. 07. 2024 18:49 CET
1 flash info (15 - Virves Robert / Drew Craig): I hope I am the favourite! It would be nice to know for myself also about the weather, it looks like we should have everything. When we will have rain, this is the biggest problem I think. In the end, we can't do too much so it is the same for everybody.
05. 07. 2024 19:46
05. 07. 2024 18:46 CET
1 flash info (16 - Asunmaa Teemu / Mannisenmäki Ville): It's very nice. The last time was 2012 in a BMW, it was a little bit different. Different rally, different car but it is very nice to come here.
05. 07. 2024 19:42
05. 07. 2024 18:42 CET
1 flash info (17 - Korhola Benjamin / Virtanen Sebastian): It's pretty much the same as Finland, the surface is a bit different, a bit softer. Both are really high speed rallies and I've got a bit from that.
05. 07. 2024 19:39
05. 07. 2024 18:39 CET
1 flash info (18 - Jeets Gregor / Taniel Timo): Actually it is quite good to be at home city and to rally. It was so slippery, the starting position is not on our side but nothing to do now.

05. 07. 2024 11:30 CET
QS flash info (14 - Gryazin Nikolay / Mālnieks Andris): It's good for us, I cannot say we are super strong on the first run but I am trying to find the pace. I am pleased Østberg is here because I want to compare with him. For sure, Linnamäe and Virves behind will be on good pace.
05. 07. 2024 12:28
05. 07. 2024 11:28 CET

05. 07. 2024 11:25 CET
QS flash info (10 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I wasn't as clean as I wanted to be. It is not easy to switch with the cars every weekend! Of course the rain makes some difference with everything. In these conditions it makes a difference to lose one or two places to keep it safe, but not lose the whole qualifying.
05. 07. 2024 12:23
05. 07. 2024 11:23 CET
QS flash info (9 - Larsen Frank Tore / Eriksen Torstein): It was difficult and I was way too careful in there. Not the start we hoped for but it is what it is. I will join Hayden tonight for a rain dance!

05. 07. 2024 11:17 CET
QS flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): It's about trying to gauge how much speed you can carry. We went through in the dry and it was flat out before. It was a good time, we can be happy with that. Taken some good steps forward for the weekend.
05. 07. 2024 12:16
05. 07. 2024 11:16 CET
QS flash info (6 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was not an easy run, weather changed a lot. We had good car, good performance and very good grip from Michelin tyre. There were some places where it was rutted but some places where we could also push.
05. 07. 2024 12:13
05. 07. 2024 11:13 CET

05. 07. 2024 12:13
05. 07. 2024 11:13 CET
QS flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): It was crazy! So slippery, I even went off the road in one right hander, into a ditch. It was tricky conditions. It's a lottery in there, we try to drive quite okay but one place with standing water I was taken off the road. I didn't know it was there!
05. 07. 2024 12:10
05. 07. 2024 11:10 CET
QS flash info (3 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): It was quite interesting. When you go in the dry road and then come back in the rain it is always strange. This one had some quite muddy places, it was not easy to understand the grip so already, a lot of work.
05. 07. 2024 12:09
05. 07. 2024 11:09 CET
QS flash info (2 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): For sure, this feels tricky you can be on the corner and there is lots of water on the line. In the last section there is no grip, it's like on eggs. The dirt is for breakfast, not for the stage!
05. 07. 2024 12:05
05. 07. 2024 11:05 CET
QS flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Hoping it will rain tomorrow becaue we will get torched. The lines from Free Practice are just full of water so we were aqua-planing everywhere. Need to do a rain dance tonight!
