15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I didn't have the information at all, when I saw the car I wasn't sure it was Ogier, I understand from that point in I just had to bring home the car and get through. Since yesterday morning we understand we had to get through to follow our objectives. Really proud of my team as well and Martijn Wydaeghe, we got the car to the end and that's what matters.

15 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I'm so sorry for Ogier, we make a job, we came here to make a job. Yesterday we would have liked to fight more. I am super happy for Neuville, he is doing well. I am so sorry for Ogier, he is like a warrior, we love his spirit also. You will come back stronger, Séb.

08. 09. 2024 22:53 CET
15 flash info (20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): When I came to the finish, I wasn't sure, I was trying to read the faces of the people. Then I checked the time on the board and thought it must be really close. Then it took one or two minutes to realise we'd won. It's a big relief, super nice fight with Virves, maybe they deserved the victory but it is nice for our championship hopes. I noticed around 5km before the finish that there was a problem, I was trying to do my best. I knew if we changed a tyre on the stage we would lose even more, so I was trying to push on the left corner when there was grip. the last few 100m it was just flat out, trying not to make any damage.
08. 09. 2024 23:53
08. 09. 2024 22:53 CET
15 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Of course it is huge disappointment, things have not been going well lately. We need to get back on the right track quickly, still need some work to do. It's a lottery to come through at any speed, so let's see.
08. 09. 2024 23:53
08. 09. 2024 22:53 CET
15 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's really frustrating on Friday but it is part of the rally. We can be happy, we were really fighting on Friday and Saturday we showed good pace also when second on the road. I gave a lot, so we'll see.
08. 09. 2024 23:53
08. 09. 2024 22:53 CET
15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I gave everything, picked up a puncture, beginning of the stage I had a half spin. It was not a major big hit but it's okay. I try better on the next event I think.
08. 09. 2024 23:51
08. 09. 2024 22:51 CET
15 flash info (20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): I don't know, five or something kilometres before the finish. In the braking, we had a puncture and that's it.
08. 09. 2024 23:51
08. 09. 2024 22:51 CET
15 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): Thank to DG Sport Competition and my co-driver also, it is very easy when you have a smile at the end of the stage. We deserve a victory for sure, but the level is so high and when you do a mistake, it is impossible to win. So happy for the team and for Citroën.
08. 09. 2024 23:51
08. 09. 2024 22:51 CET
15 flash info (29 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): For us, very cautious. As I said before the gap was quite big so I hope it is enough. Thank you for the team, it was a long rally for everyone, especially the crew. Thank you for the spectators, now I go back to home.

08. 09. 2024 22:47 CET
14 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): We had a puncture in the beginning, it is not because there is a stone, it is just my mistake. On the recce I passed the corner and noted there were stones, but on the corner there were big big stones, I tried to pass clean and it hit immediately hard. After that there was a puncture, we tried to move again. There was nothing to lose for us, it was quite fun. I was not trying to save the tyres because we have a second spare. One stage to go.

08. 09. 2024 22:46 CET
14 flash info (22 - Joona Lauri / Mannisenmäki Ville): We didn't hit anything, there were some big stones on the road and I think there were some issues with that. It is what it is, very rough stage so it will be interesting on the next loop.

08. 09. 2024 22:45 CET
14 flash info (24 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): I'm in the middle of nowhere in the standings so there is no sense in taking some risks, it is so muddy and so easy to make mistakes so I decided to just pass through.
08. 09. 2024 23:44
08. 09. 2024 22:44 CET
14 flash info (32 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): Yesterday I saw that my first damage of the year was the bumper, then I hit a wall in some muddy place. This was my first time with the car in proper mud. I was slow but fast and the car started sliding on four wheels, I don't know how but we've done it!
08. 09. 2024 23:44
08. 09. 2024 22:44 CET
14 flash info (26 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): We actually spun halfway through on a water splash which wasn't so clearly marked. It was a fast corner but we saved it. It is not a bad time considering. Did you expect these conditions? At the start of the week, no, last night, yes. It's always interesting to see different conditions.
08. 09. 2024 23:44
08. 09. 2024 22:44 CET
14 flash info (30 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): It's quite a rough stage, really destroyed almost everywhere. Thdere is one uphill section in the forest, really narrow, really tricky with a lot of mud. Time is a bit of a surprise because the feeling was not so good but OK. We will go for the Wolf Power Stage.
08. 09. 2024 23:44
08. 09. 2024 22:44 CET
14 flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): Just caught out by one place that was unbelievably muddy and slippery, fast corner and I went two gears slower. The car wouldn't react or do anything, we were just passengers. We had a front and rear left puncture, but everything else seems to be working.
08. 09. 2024 23:43

08. 09. 2024 23:43
08. 09. 2024 22:43 CET
14 flash info (29 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): We continue like we are on Safari, the gap is quite big, I hope it is enough. There is no fun on these stages, you are driving on a straight road trying to avoid the big rocks. On the other side I love this.
08. 09. 2024 23:43
08. 09. 2024 22:43 CET
14 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): I think maybe the gap is a bit too big, but everything can happen on these stages. The grip changed a lot, without gravel it is so difficult. It is not easy on muddy section to have good speed and you don't know if you are first or not, but everything is still possible.
08. 09. 2024 23:42
08. 09. 2024 22:42 CET
14 flash info (28 - Virves Robert / Lesk Aleks): Hard to say, I tried to drive fast when everything feels fine but I am struggling quite a lot, I can't really find the rhythm with the notes. We are pushing all the time, when everything is working I see no reason to push too. Let's see how the other guys come.
08. 09. 2024 23:42
08. 09. 2024 22:42 CET
14 flash info (20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): I was quite happy with the speed on the first stage of the morning, this one was super, super tricky. Let's say it's fine. Very tricky so I am just happy to be clean.
08. 09. 2024 23:42
08. 09. 2024 22:42 CET
14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The road is destroyed, it's a nightmare. I was so careful in there. Just trying to avoid any problems. The risk is not worth it not at the moment.
08. 09. 2024 23:42
08. 09. 2024 22:42 CET
14 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was very difficult in places, there is a really fast place with lots of mud there. We are driving with no risk, we are fighting for third place, Tänak is a little bit back. If nothing happens, we can meet our target today.
08. 09. 2024 23:41
08. 09. 2024 22:41 CET
14 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): The whole weekend was feeling good, I have a great car and could do what I wanted. The misfortune is hard, two and a half minutes lost due to a turbo issue. That's Greece rally. Now we have to recover and the Wolf Power Stage will be important for sure.
08. 09. 2024 23:41
08. 09. 2024 22:41 CET
14 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Not too much stories to tell. Took it safely through, very tricky one. The engine is not perfect so now we go to service.
08. 09. 2024 23:41
08. 09. 2024 22:41 CET
14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's very difficult conditions, luckily we recce'd it in the rain a few years ago, so we had an idea of the rain in a few places. Target is get through the day and do the best job for ourselves and the team.
08. 09. 2024 23:40
08. 09. 2024 22:40 CET
14 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): It's drying a lot, for the next stage it could be much better. We were in the mud and we were very slow. There were a lot of stones and we had a puncture at the end.
08. 09. 2024 23:40
08. 09. 2024 22:40 CET
14 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's incredible how quickly the grip level is changing, some places is dry or really muddy. I saw so many lines from Taka, where it was crazy. We had a clean stage, I didn't take any risks. A lot of mud.
08. 09. 2024 23:40
08. 09. 2024 22:40 CET
14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's very tricky conditions, obviously bright sunshine so it is drying up under the sun quite a lot but under the trees it is so hard to know what is muddy and what is not. On the muddy sections there is zero grip, so not nice.
08. 09. 2024 23:38

08. 09. 2024 23:30
08. 09. 2024 22:30 CET
13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's about managing but still trying to keep a good rhythm. I was struggling a bit with the grip, it's so narrow and you can easily hit a stone. You need to be really committed and I wasn't. The road position is probably improving as well.
08. 09. 2024 23:30
08. 09. 2024 22:30 CET
13 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): The car is good, but the time is very bad. I am driving the stage, in the beginning I had the smallest moment so I just concentrated.
08. 09. 2024 23:30
08. 09. 2024 22:30 CET
13 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It has been the case all weekend, but it is not over. Slippery in the stage.
08. 09. 2024 23:29
08. 09. 2024 22:29 CET
13 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We had a lot of trouble this morning, we still carry some engine trouble so not easy at the moment.
08. 09. 2024 23:29
08. 09. 2024 22:29 CET
13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Feeling different. Everything is fine.
08. 09. 2024 23:29
08. 09. 2024 22:29 CET
13 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): I don't know why I love it. A lot of cleaning at the beginning, a little bit too pessimistic.
08. 09. 2024 23:28
08. 09. 2024 22:28 CET
13 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was completely dry all the stage, I don't know if the rain improved the stage. It was damp and humid but it is drying up really quickly. I am not very happy with my pace in that stage, I did not find the grip or the confidence. We'll see.
08. 09. 2024 23:28
08. 09. 2024 22:28 CET
13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's crazy, we didn't expect mud. No chance for this stage, just dry.
08. 09. 2024 23:28
08. 09. 2024 22:28 CET
13 There was heavy rainfall in the previous night.
07. 09. 2024 23:50
07. 09. 2024 22:50 CET
12 flash info (59 - Gill Taylor / Brkic Daniel): It was far from spectacular viewing, that's all we have to do to reach the end of the day. Unfortunately a big rock early on put an end to our day.
07. 09. 2024 23:49
07. 09. 2024 22:49 CET
12 flash info (64 - Rensonnet Tom / Deliot Manon): Just fun - it was for the show, it was good to see so many people around the stage. Quite happy to be through the second day. Long, tough day. Not so lucky, three punctures. It's like this, it is rally.
07. 09. 2024 23:49
07. 09. 2024 22:49 CET
12 flash info (75 - Fontana Matteo / Arnaboldi Alessandro): This one was a very difficult day, very rough. I think we did a good result today and this stage was very funny. Now we will head to the next one.
07. 09. 2024 23:49
07. 09. 2024 22:49 CET
12 flash info (58 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): For the championship it still looks good, to do the last stage coming so further back. Stage 11 was something I've never seen before, it is good. I am still calm, I just have to keep going and we don't need to push, that maybe takes off the nerves a bit.
07. 09. 2024 23:48
07. 09. 2024 22:48 CET
12 flash info (63 - Maior Norbert / Maior Francesca): This is what I want to hear that I am in the lead! It was an unbelievable day, really rough for mine and co-driver Francesca bodies but we manage well. The car was working perfect on the rough sections, we did a puncture but we managed well on the rough sections. One more stage to go, really want to stay top.
07. 09. 2024 23:47
07. 09. 2024 22:47 CET
12 flash info (40 - Roustemis Panagiotis / Bakloris Christos): It is very good for us, we are top of the standings by two minutes. We enjoyed the stages today, we enjoyed the run. We want the spectators at the last day of EKO Rally Acropolis at Lamia.
07. 09. 2024 23:47
07. 09. 2024 22:47 CET
12 flash info (35 - Kremer Armin / Kremer Ella): We had some start problems from this stage, but we are really happy from this stage and we will see what we can do tomorrow. It was a really long day today.
07. 09. 2024 23:47
07. 09. 2024 22:47 CET
12 flash info (24 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): We finished the day happy that we survived a very rough day yesterday with a puncture, broken wishbones and everything. We enjoyed today, learned a lot.
07. 09. 2024 23:47
07. 09. 2024 22:47 CET
12 flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): Tough day for everyone, we managed to stay out of trouble today and gain a few positions from it. Tomorrow is only three stages, but it's long three stages. I am not hoping for anyone's misfortune but I am hoping to gain a few places still.
07. 09. 2024 23:46
07. 09. 2024 22:46 CET
12 flash info (32 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): Really happy, my first damage of the year is my damper in the back. We didn't puncture today, it was really difficult and tricky. We struggled in the roundabout, the first gear was short and the second was too long. We are so grateful to the people that gave us a great opportunity.
07. 09. 2024 23:46
07. 09. 2024 22:46 CET
12 flash info (26 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): It's been an eventful afternoon, we got a couple of punctures in the second pass of the long stage, had to stop and change one, it's part of the experience of Greece I suppose.
07. 09. 2024 23:46
07. 09. 2024 22:46 CET
12 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): For sure if we speak about the speed, for sure it is a very good day for me. I have a little word for my brother, he fought with Loeb in the French championship. Thank you to him and my family for supporting me and him.
07. 09. 2024 23:45
07. 09. 2024 22:45 CET
12 flash info (30 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): It was a shame we got a puncture in almost the last stage, it is what it is, still tomorrow is the last day and we will get back some positions. We didn't manage to stay out of trouble, it's been very demanding, we didn't do a mistake. We don't know where we got the puncture but it's okay, we will keep improving and try again tomorrow.
07. 09. 2024 23:45
07. 09. 2024 22:45 CET
12 flash info (29 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): Nice! This one is very important for rallies. Fantastic atmosphere. Hard day, but we love this atmosphere. It was a pleasure.

07. 09. 2024 22:45 CET
12 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was a long day. I hope there was great atmosphere here. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
07. 09. 2024 23:44
07. 09. 2024 22:44 CET
12 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): We have a long way now, 140km. It is not finished yet! I touched the barrel a little bit, but I made the donut so it's fine.
07. 09. 2024 23:44
07. 09. 2024 22:44 CET
12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Challenging day I would say. Not more to mention, stick to our plan and it works. It will be good tomorrow, take some points home after a challenging weekend.
07. 09. 2024 23:44
07. 09. 2024 22:44 CET
12 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was a good day, I did everything I could in the car and enjoyed some sections. Let's try to enjoy for tomorrow now.

07. 09. 2024 22:44 CET
12 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): Between Athens and Thessaloniki, it is special! Long, long day. So, so hot.
07. 09. 2024 23:43
07. 09. 2024 22:43 CET
12 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's been a long day, to be second on the road without a goal or aim was frustrating but we had good fun in the beautiful stages. Now, we have a long way back to Lamia.
07. 09. 2024 23:43
07. 09. 2024 22:43 CET
12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Just focus for tomorrow, try to push and let's see how it goes tomorrow. The stages are slippery. I still want to go, so I am going to try my best.

11 flash info (40 - Roustemis Panagiotis / Bakloris Christos): It was in this stage we lost the rear bumper, the road is very big the second time we are doing it so we tried to avoid some rocks always. I am feeling good, we have only the super-special, we are near the end of day two, we have some big gaps, we try to improve and get better pace notes so that next year at EKO Acropolis Rally Greece we can go even faster.

11 flash info (35 - Kremer Armin / Kremer Ella): We had a lot of dust from the guy before, so we must go slowly, we cannot do much about it. We are here and we are happy.

11 flash info (22 - Joona Lauri / Mannisenmäki Ville): We had a left rear puncture and we had to change it on the stage, good thing is we are not fighting some positions. Obviously we tried to drive a good stage time but these things happen.

11 flash info (24 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): It was quite a difficult one, very rough in these conditions but I just wanted to say thanks to Toyota for building this car, it is very strong.
07. 09. 2024 18:33
07. 09. 2024 17:33 CET
11 flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): I can't go too crazy on this stuff, we tried to push a little bit. Compared to the guys in front we have nothing to lose.
07. 09. 2024 18:33
07. 09. 2024 17:33 CET
11 flash info (32 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): The bumper was broken in the first pass so we can't break anything! There was someone slower in front, all of the stage we had dust. I don't know what happened, we went slow and were always in the dark. We didn't push, but we'll see if they give us back the time.
07. 09. 2024 18:32
07. 09. 2024 17:32 CET
11 flash info (26 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): We stopped in the first 5km, I don't know where we got them, it's quite rough with quite sharp rocks and we lost a lot of time.

07. 09. 2024 17:32 CET
11 flash info (30 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): We got a puncture and we needed to stop and change, it is part of the game and still some more stages tomorrow. I told them to stop, we lost a lot of time there. Still we are learning, we will learn for next time. Next time we won't puncture. We will learn and we will keep pushing.
07. 09. 2024 18:31
07. 09. 2024 17:31 CET
11 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): Zaldivar's dust is okay. Not easy for sure, I look at Zaldivar, he stopped after a puncture. We need to be a bit lucky to have a clean run on this one. For me it is quite good, the car is nice. We are happy.

07. 09. 2024 17:30 CET
11 flash info (29 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): Hard day, we have one stage to go but unbelievable. In my opinion, this rally is much harder than Safari Rally Kenya. For the drivers, the crew and the car. If you keep in your mind that Safari is difficult, you can take less risk. Here, everybody is pushing a lot. If you need to be close, you need to take risk and if you need to take risk, you can have fun.

07. 09. 2024 17:30 CET

07. 09. 2024 17:29 CET
11 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Jarvejoä just said the same, well managed. It's a sharp downhill hairpin, you can't see anything but there was probably a stick in the line that caught us laterally and it just flipped us.
07. 09. 2024 18:28
07. 09. 2024 17:28 CET
11 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was hard through the stage, a lot of stones, I didn't want to make a mistake. Just drive through and didn't want to lose the time to Séb. We just drove through.

07. 09. 2024 17:28 CET
11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): What to say, it has been an incredible day so far, it is still not over. We are still following the plan, to get the car to the end of the weekend, optimising every situation we can. That was the plan since yesterday, it is the only thing we can do.
07. 09. 2024 18:27
07. 09. 2024 17:27 CET
11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Clipped a rut in a very slow hairpin, went over super slow but of course the damage is obvious. I hope so we can continue.

07. 09. 2024 17:27 CET
11 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I don't know what happened to Evans. I didn't see the damage, I hope he could carry on. It's a rough stage but an okay run for us.

11 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): I didn't clean! It was nice. Some were rocky, you have to pay attention to the punctures. Otherwise the grip is much better.
07. 09. 2024 18:26
07. 09. 2024 17:26 CET
11 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Do I have a puncture? Yes?. Good, at least we get one this rally. Rough, but at least I could enjoy sweeping the road this morning. It was a rough stage, things can happen, we will see.
07. 09. 2024 18:25
07. 09. 2024 17:25 CET
11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is quite rough, but still quite okay. I expected even worse, for sure it is not easy. The line, especially in the corners has a lot of loose gravel.
07. 09. 2024 18:25
07. 09. 2024 17:25 CET
10 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Very slow and twisty stage, grip is low.
07. 09. 2024 18:25
07. 09. 2024 17:25 CET
10 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I look more stupid than I am, no? We have the best mechanics in the world, they fixed it. I am so sorry for them, luckily we worked on the car. We didn't take any risks because we already made a mistake. We'll try to finish like this.
07. 09. 2024 18:25
07. 09. 2024 17:25 CET
10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): There was no risk at all in there, we just tried to follow the lines. I like when it is a bit more tehcnical and twisty, but those lines are hard to follow. The ruts are getting deeper, you can benefit a bit from the traction and the chance to rotate the car. Hopefully the next one will be smooth.
07. 09. 2024 18:24
07. 09. 2024 17:24 CET
10 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Today, the whole day has a lot of loose. The grip was still better with the car than a lot of stages I would say.
07. 09. 2024 18:24
07. 09. 2024 17:24 CET
10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's very loose, can't get any real grip at all in there.
07. 09. 2024 18:24
07. 09. 2024 17:24 CET
10 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): Lot of cleaning again but it is short, so a little bit different to the other ones.
07. 09. 2024 18:24
07. 09. 2024 17:24 CET
10 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's still the same, we cannot fix the car in the tyre fitting zone. We had a clean run, quite a lot of slipping. I am happy with my driving, it has cleaned up a little bit. When [the anti rollbar] doesn't work, the car is really lazy, it takes a while to get from one corner to another and the car is not so precise.
07. 09. 2024 18:23
07. 09. 2024 17:23 CET
10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Just spun a bit and stalled. It is incredibly slippery, I don't know how to describe. That was a properly slippery condition.

07. 09. 2024 17:15 CET
9 flash info (22 - Joona Lauri / Mannisenmäki Ville): I didn't expect it to be that rough already, on the second pass it will be proper survival. It's a nice stage but really rough. Hard to find the rhythm. Been a good morning for us, we had a puncture on the first stage but we have to continue.

07. 09. 2024 17:13 CET
9 flash info (32 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): We take a huge compression in the last part of the stage, we are happy we are still here without puncture. Just try to continue, the second pass will be hard. Now I just want to drink water, a lot of water!
07. 09. 2024 18:13

9 flash info (26 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): About 5km from the end, there was a rock in a fast left hander and we hit it. It didn't go down for a while but we drove slowly towards the end, we didn't want delamination.

9 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): I don't know what happened for Gryazin, I think just a puncture. Not easy this one for sure, no grip on the rear. I don't understand. Clean run, no problem. We need to push fast on this stage, it is so difficult to drive like yesterday.
07. 09. 2024 18:11
07. 09. 2024 17:11 CET
9 flash info (30 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): We are here that is the most important but this stage I think we were a bit too slow. We struggle a bit with the flowing, we were braking too much. I was trying but it is okay.
07. 09. 2024 18:11
07. 09. 2024 17:11 CET
9 flash info (29 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): Not bad, I like this one, it is very rocky. You need to be careful in some parts that you don't have a puncture at 100 percent.
07. 09. 2024 18:10
07. 09. 2024 17:10 CET
9 flash info (28 - Virves Robert / Lesk Aleks): I tried to have a good stage, I hope it was also quite fine. It was extremely rough. I hoped I could push a bit more because at least now we have some small kind of service.

07. 09. 2024 17:10 CET

9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): My goals are very simple, get through the day without a problem. Especially without puncture. Fighting a bit with the rear, tricky conditions in there, lots of loose gravel I am trying to avoid. The second pass will be tough. Already lots of sharp stones and anything can happen here in the second pass. Hopefully we get through, have that little bit of luck we need, everything feels good in the car.
07. 09. 2024 18:09
07. 09. 2024 17:09 CET
9 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): The gaps are too big! We keep doing our job as best as we can, we'll see. Without service in Greece it is a big challenge, so far we are happy and we will try to finish the day.

8 flash info (32 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): We are enjoying a lot, after the recce I didn't expect it. There are big rocks, we are trying to involve the risky rocks. We are happy, we are improving, the gap is less and less stage by stage. It's really fun, the stages are beautiful and now the long stages continue for the rest of the day.
07. 09. 2024 18:05
07. 09. 2024 17:05 CET
8 flash info (26 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): I'm sure everyone is saying how soft it is compared to the rest of the rally, we didn't want to miss any of the braking points as it is downhill towards a junction so it is difficult for us. It suits our driving style a bit more, it's all about getting experience here.
07. 09. 2024 18:05
07. 09. 2024 17:05 CET
8 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): On the first one the feeling is not like yesterday, but on this one I drive very well. I need to focus on my traction, I think everybody says the same. We are fighting for sure and we need to close the gap.
07. 09. 2024 18:05
07. 09. 2024 17:05 CET
8 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Feeling is the same, really sandy stage but if you take the car in the line it is good surface under the sand. It is difficult to be so precise on these sandy parts.
07. 09. 2024 18:04
07. 09. 2024 17:04 CET
8 flash info (30 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): I can imagine Rossel is fast, we need to focus on the race. We are running quite a clever race at the moment. It is quite demanding for us, we need to keep it in the road and be clever.

07. 09. 2024 17:04 CET

07. 09. 2024 17:03 CET
8 flash info (20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Bit similar to Virves, super slippery, it is challenging to do a good stage at least, the feeling is like that. Not very happy with the stage.
07. 09. 2024 18:02
07. 09. 2024 17:02 CET
8 flash info (28 - Virves Robert / Lesk Aleks): The stage was very sandy, felt like we were all the time off the line. Not a good stage from us, maybe not such a good run. We are quicker on splits? Maybe it is quite the same for everybody.

07. 09. 2024 09:26 CET
7 flash info (32 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): We are just driving more carefully than yesterday. Yesterday we were a bit scared in the first pass of puncture, because there were so many rocks. Today, first stage, I am a bit sleepy and very tired. We are happy and today we finish our experience program.
07. 09. 2024 10:26
07. 09. 2024 09:26 CET
7 flash info (26 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): Very, very long day and you have to stay focused the whole day as there is a puncture risk in every corner and we don't want that. There is a lot of dust in the narrow sections under the trees and some ruts as well. Trying to keep patient and keep on it.
07. 09. 2024 10:25
07. 09. 2024 09:25 CET
7 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): It's a plan to fight back. It's not easy, I missed a bit of traction at the beginning. I need to adjust my wheels because the risk of puncture is so high. It is not a great stage, not the same feeling to yesterday. For sure, it is better to work together with Gryazin, thank you to him because he drives a lot and for me it is very good.
07. 09. 2024 10:25
07. 09. 2024 09:25 CET
7 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): For the next one I have softs. I took it really easy because there are so many big stones. There is a difficulty in following the line, if I do that, then I sacrifice in the entry. I also don't have oversteer, I have understeer. Let's see.
07. 09. 2024 10:24
07. 09. 2024 09:24 CET
7 flash info (30 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): Quite a big surprise, we have been quite smooth during the stage. The last corner is quite tricky. It's quite on the limit where our sensors are. It is quite a long day.
07. 09. 2024 10:24
07. 09. 2024 09:24 CET
7 flash info (29 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): I was too cautious to be honest, I am not happy with my driving. I saw Pajari's line and knew I was slower. I tried to keep concentration in this situation, this stage is a new one because it is in an opposite way. Anything can happen.
07. 09. 2024 10:24
07. 09. 2024 09:24 CET
7 flash info (20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): We had really big dust as well, I thought we would be half a minute behind as well. I for sure was not expecting such a time.
07. 09. 2024 10:23
07. 09. 2024 09:23 CET
7 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Changed the puncture twice. The first was off the rim, the second was a bent rim.
07. 09. 2024 10:23
07. 09. 2024 09:23 CET
7 flash info (28 - Virves Robert / Lesk Aleks): That was quite heavy, but for Tänak it looks even worse. Nothing you can do in this situation.

07. 09. 2024 09:23 CET
7 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It's nice to be rally leader, but I don't like this kind of thing. We need to win the stages not because the others have problems. I didn't take any risks, I will continue with my targets. Neuville and the others can push, I have one mission. Of course it would be nice to win.

7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had a clean run through, was quite rough in the middle section so I took it a bit careful. Completely different conditions to yesterday, we also changed the car setup so I feel better with the car.
07. 09. 2024 10:22
07. 09. 2024 09:22 CET
7 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): We are in the middle of nowhere so we just try to drive safe and fast in the bumpy section. That's quite a shame for Tänak. I don't like that. I like Ott Tänak.

07. 09. 2024 09:21 CET
7 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): The stage was bad. Had a really up and down feeling, there are so many rocks that you can easily do a puncture and from what we experienced yesterday, we need to make sure six tyres are okay.
07. 09. 2024 10:13
07. 09. 2024 09:13 CET
7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It'll change between every car the pace, it was all okay for us. Putting softs on the rear seems to have worked. After the happenings of yesterday, motivation is not quite the same but we want to have a good day in the car and that's the main thing.
07. 09. 2024 10:13
07. 09. 2024 09:13 CET
7 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): This one is a new one, it is the opposite of last year. Very good notes, the beginning was very good. The problem is the cleaning, at the end, with the downhill.
07. 09. 2024 10:12
07. 09. 2024 09:12 CET
7 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's quite difficult to be fair, the motivation is not there anymore. I am lucky to be in a Rally1 car, so I am happy to be here but there is nothing to lose but also nothing to gain.
07. 09. 2024 10:12
07. 09. 2024 09:12 CET
7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Thanks to the team for getting setup, it is very unfortunate what happened yesterday. Today is a different story, I'll just try and stay on cleaning the road and staying on the road. A lot of loose gravel through the stage.

06. 09. 2024 18:08 CET
6 (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Team statement: It looks like Seb has lost the boost pressure from the turbocharger. We had Elfyn's car this morning with the same symptoms. With Elfyn, we know what the root cause is, and with Seb at the moment we are assuming it's something similar - but until we get the cars back here we can't say for sure. It's a huge disappointment because clearly it's another rally after Finland where we have really strong performance in the car, and in Finland we didn't capitalise on that. It looks like here, again, we're not going to capitalise on the potential performance that both the car and the drivers have. At the moment it's a disappointment, but Seb has done an amazing job in the last stage to lose much less time than we expected.
06. 09. 2024 19:08
06. 09. 2024 18:08 CET
6 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): For the finish of the day is a bit hard, the positive is to start behind tomorrow. I think I have improved the speed of the car and my co-driver did a good job for the race in WRC2. It is so hard because we gave everything, but I think it is the same for some guys and it is still long.
06. 09. 2024 19:08
06. 09. 2024 18:08 CET
6 flash info (20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): We started the day with a puncture immediately, obviously it has been really rough, there's so many different types of road and the grip is changing a lot. It is a demanding rally for sure, but it is good to be top. It's a long rally, no time for any celebrations yet.
06. 09. 2024 19:08
06. 09. 2024 18:08 CET
6 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): We start very slowly, too slowly. Not a good rhythm. We improved during the day and didn't face any issue till now. We started to build good speed throughout the day.

06. 09. 2024 18:07 CET
6 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We didn't have the handbrake once again, sometimes you hit with the side wall because you cannot make the car turn. Front right puncture and the rear left is delamination. Delamination, plus no handbrake - I'm just happy we are here.
06. 09. 2024 19:06
06. 09. 2024 18:06 CET
6 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It's not nice, but the others have problems. It is part of the job. Difficult rally, some of the drivers have problems, some of them make mistakes. We have had a strong rally. We will see like this.

6 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We need to be very grateful for a trouble-free day, it has been very difficult with the temperature and roughness. It's been a very good day but we all know what's coming.
06. 09. 2024 19:05
06. 09. 2024 18:05 CET
6 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): There was not much we could do, turbo is broken. That is motorsport sometimes. It's not the day we were hoping for.
06. 09. 2024 19:05
06. 09. 2024 18:05 CET
6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It wsas okay, the roughest stage of the day was the last one. Still fighting the balance, had some brake issues. Not a very clean run, but at least there was some ruts I could lean on. Very challenging day, did what we could with our position. We have seen a lot of problems for everyone, so it could have gone much worse for us. With the position we are in, we are good.

06. 09. 2024 15:44 CET
5 flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): It was good fun at least, the second loop has been better so far. Felt like Kalle Rovanperä with the drifting at the end, but we feel much better!

06. 09. 2024 15:42 CET
5 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): In one corner, we have on the pace notes to keep inside. I kept it inside, but it kicked me out. Maybe it was a tree or rock. We spun around. I paused a long time as I thought maybe there was a broken gear box. Luckily nothing was broken, I think we need to check it though.

5 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): The feeling is very good. On the last part it is never easy to have a clean drive. On the time, I did not expect that. I drive very smooth. When it is like that, it is clean. Let's see on the next one, keep calm and focus to do no mistake.
06. 09. 2024 16:37
06. 09. 2024 15:37 CET
5 flash info (20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): The grip was much better than the first loop, I think that is why the time is still really bad. I think we should be fine for the last one. Of course we will do what we can, but obviously Rossel is really quick.
06. 09. 2024 16:34
06. 09. 2024 15:34 CET

06. 09. 2024 15:29 CET
5 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I am not enjoying a lot, like I said before we do not have hybrid. I think if you take a picture of what it is like now, it is good for Hyundai. We have three Hyundais at 1-3-4 so we have to be clever.
06. 09. 2024 16:29
06. 09. 2024 15:29 CET
5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): A bit better than the last one but we still need to work, it's okay for now. Bit of everything, we need to work on.

06. 09. 2024 15:28 CET

06. 09. 2024 16:25
06. 09. 2024 15:25 CET
4 flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): Morning loop wasn't great, basically couldn't get a clean stage one. We had pop-off issues on the first one, the second one we had a spin and the third a puncture so it's nice to have a clean run on this one.
06. 09. 2024 16:24
06. 09. 2024 15:24 CET
4 flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Dramatic morning for us, I still feel like it's the beginning, from the recce it was more demanding. There are already difficulties for everyone. I tried to play it safe, I don't care about the pace. I am trying not to kill the tyres, we will be super gentle with the tyres. The car feels better than the first one, maybe that is because of the road cleaning. I think for now I will not touch anything and just focus on the driving.

4 flash info (22 - Joona Lauri / Mannisenmäki Ville): About 1km from the start we hit a bump and we broke something on the rear. It was like a kangaroo all the time, so we cannot push.

4 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): There is still a strange noise but the car is back to normal in terms of service, thanks to all the boys in there and I hope we have a good afternoon. It's a very narrow section, I don't know if Fourmaux hit something like me in Kenya.

3 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We don't have a handbrake for two stages, it is really technical and difficult to make the car turn. It is so rough, if you try to force it you may make the car roll. At least we are here and the next loop we will try to enjoy.

2 flash info (22 - Joona Lauri / Mannisenmäki Ville): It was really slippery on the last part, we made a big slide but that is for the spectators. For now we have a clean run and we need to drive more straight so we can have clean runs.

2 (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): was out of road
06. 09. 2024 13:24
06. 09. 2024 12:24 CET
2 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): It's a clean run for me, we tried to keep the tyre at the end and on the last part we have a lot of loose. For me a clean run is important. For the moment, I concentrate on my driving to be out the rocks.
06. 09. 2024 13:24
06. 09. 2024 12:24 CET
2 flash info (20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): I am trying to have a clean go, it is surprisingly slippery in there. We are trying to play with tyre choice, I have some softs on the car but we'll see.
06. 09. 2024 13:24
06. 09. 2024 12:24 CET
2 flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): It is much better, we enjoyed this one. It is also less slippery I think, so we enjoyed it.
06. 09. 2024 13:24
06. 09. 2024 12:24 CET
2 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I also don't have any handbrake. This is the worst stage. The shift to neutral was the issue.
06. 09. 2024 13:23
06. 09. 2024 12:23 CET
2 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I have a good feeling, I was thinking I was driving well and having a good stage but it looks like no. I was driving well, it was slippery in a couple of places. I am here, I need to do my best. I need a little bit more kilometres, but this I can manage.
06. 09. 2024 13:23
06. 09. 2024 12:23 CET
2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's a bit slippery, overall I was not pushing too much so it is quite comfortable. It is going okay, so far. I don't know if this is aggressive or not, if you choose two or one spare sometimes one is better.
06. 09. 2024 13:23
06. 09. 2024 12:23 CET
2 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I think we struggled, there was a lot of loose gravel. We have lots of cars to sweep the road in front. It is part of the rally, I am quite happy with the two stages. Under the trees when there is no wind like today, the dust stays standing. There was a lot of dust on the end, but we carry on.
06. 09. 2024 13:23
06. 09. 2024 12:23 CET
2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not clear at the moment, we had no power, we don't know what it is yet.
06. 09. 2024 13:22
06. 09. 2024 12:22 CET
2 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Much less dust than the previous one, not too bad. Still in an okay rhythm but it is all about cleaning. Should've been a bit softer than we were, but we try and get the maximum out of it.
06. 09. 2024 13:22
06. 09. 2024 12:22 CET
2 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Luckily we got the four minute gap, even with this there was hanging dust in places. Lots of cleaning in there so for sure it will get faster behind.
06. 09. 2024 13:22
06. 09. 2024 12:22 CET
2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We couldn't resolve the issue, we were running on three cylinders for fifty percent of the stage at least. It's massive cleaning, we were doing our best with the tyres.

1 flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): It is impossible to see the road, there is so much dust! At the beginning, I stopped on a straight. We play for the championship.

06. 09. 2024 12:18 CET
1 flash info (20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Some five kilometres from the finish. Not the start I wanted for this rally. Quite tricky, still quite a lot of dust in there so quite tricky. Loose thick stone, one of those.

06. 09. 2024 12:17 CET
1 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Really slippery, a lot of dust. Not really nice conditions to push. We have hard tyres and two spare hard tyres, the car is moving a lot. A lot of dust from the beginning. It is okay.
06. 09. 2024 13:17
06. 09. 2024 12:17 CET
1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's okay, a bit hesitant to push because of the puncture risk. Lots of dust in the beginning of the stage. Why not have just one spare? It's okay.
06. 09. 2024 13:17
06. 09. 2024 12:17 CET
1 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I almost had it! What a tricky stage, first pass is a really big challenge. I have some smoke so I need to go.
06. 09. 2024 13:16
06. 09. 2024 12:16 CET
1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): That wasn't the best, we knew of the place but we didn't manage it so well. Let's see if there are other issues in the car.
06. 09. 2024 13:16
06. 09. 2024 12:16 CET
1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It is a completely new stage, I would say we started in a steady rhythm but it was okay. Early in the morning it was difficult to get the tyre working, but otherwise, an okay stage.
06. 09. 2024 13:16
06. 09. 2024 12:16 CET

06. 09. 2024 12:15 CET
1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Not so great to be honest, massive cleaning. I didn't expect it to be so much. Very dry in there, lots of loose rocks that make you slide. The engine power has some problem in there, I was running on three cylinders at one point, so we have to check it.

SHAKEDOWN flash info (26 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): It's gonna be a baptism of fire, it will be survival and patience. It's rallying, you have to enjoy a challenge too. We did a recce last year so we have an experience of some stages, but you have to be wary because conditions change here year in, year out.
05. 09. 2024 12:14
05. 09. 2024 11:14 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): If we can get past the first proper corner it is a big improvement. We tested the strong of this car in Finland quite well, so on this rough event it should be okay.
05. 09. 2024 12:14
05. 09. 2024 11:14 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (24 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): There was some loose rocks, maybe it is because of that. The thing is to stay out of trouble, it is easy to say and then you need to do it. We will do our best so we'll see.
05. 09. 2024 12:14
05. 09. 2024 11:14 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): When I score the points for me, mainly I need to work with my driving strategy because this race is more about driving safe and not pushing like hell. Even now we are not driving crazy in the shakedown because we are trying to understand the road. We are trying not to drive too much on the shakedown as we are saving the tyres for the road. Try not to drive too much on the shakedown and just drive smart.
05. 09. 2024 12:13
05. 09. 2024 11:13 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (22 - Joona Lauri / Mannisenmäki Ville): I think it is quite rough already in shakedown and quite dusty, so the rally can be anything. At least we try to drive clean and keep good pace, anything can happen in this rally. In the shakedown everything was good and in the test it was fun, I think Ville and I have good co-operation for this rally.
05. 09. 2024 12:13
05. 09. 2024 11:13 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): Just to be intelligent for sure, I think it is not the most fast who can win the rally, but for sure the plan is just to keep calm. The days are so long, but it is a nice feeling with the car and the plan is to enjoy with the car.
05. 09. 2024 12:13
05. 09. 2024 11:13 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It's still fun, on this stage it was so slippery that we can go a lot sideways, not so bad. This is a rough rally, it did not feel clever. It is a tricky rally, but I feel confident with how the car feels and I hope the pace is fine.
05. 09. 2024 12:13
05. 09. 2024 11:13 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): It could be rough, could be very hard. Too much dust, don't see anything. It is good to drive a Puma, instead of a Rally2.
05. 09. 2024 12:12
05. 09. 2024 11:12 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We prepared a lot, watching a lot of onboards, of course we did two events in the summer break. It's one thing wanting to be fast, but we have to play smart because in this edition of EKO Acropolis Rally Greece, some things may happen.
05. 09. 2024 12:12
05. 09. 2024 11:12 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It's low grip on one of the corners, I almost stopped from the dust. Really happy with the car, it felt really good. I am really happy at the moment.
05. 09. 2024 12:12
05. 09. 2024 11:12 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): My hope? To survive! I think this is most important for this rally. Two years ago we drove this stage, we worked a lot, let's see if this feeling goes for the next few days. Everything has improved, maybe myself also.
05. 09. 2024 12:12
05. 09. 2024 11:12 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The plan is always to be on the top step, we are still searching. We'll do our best, it is a tricky rally, you have to push in places. It can be challenging, especially with a lot of dust this morning.
05. 09. 2024 12:11
05. 09. 2024 11:11 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Quite a lot of dust, slow down in a few places. It's going to be a tough weekend, very rough out there, not easy. Not sure anyone can be confident in these conditions but we want to try our best.
05. 09. 2024 12:11
05. 09. 2024 11:11 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We are here, we are fit, looking forward to it. The shakedown is extremely tricky with the dust. If it is so bad in the open, what will it be in the forest? I think with the conditions of Greece we are looking at a demanding rally.
05. 09. 2024 12:11
05. 09. 2024 11:11 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's been shocking in places to see the conditions, it is going to be a tough weekend for sure. Lots of hanging dust this morning, difficult to see where we go.
05. 09. 2024 12:11
05. 09. 2024 11:11 CET
SHAKEDOWN flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Good news to extend the contract with Hyundai into 2025. I knew for a little bit but very happy to carry on with Hyundai Motorsport. Great for me but great for the WRC that Hyundai is committed for next year. It is probably the toughest Greece we have ever seen, the puncture risk is super high. We are going to manage our speed, manage the cars and cross fingers for the punctures.
