INFORMATION ABOUT SS 4
flash info (24 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): It was quite tricky. The middle part of the stage was quite gravelly, and the last part was really fast. You need to be confident in the car, and I didn't really feel that. Hopefully the second loop will be better.
flash info (23 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): It wasn't easy. There was a lot of loose snow on top and sometimes you have grip, sometimes you have absolutely nothing. There was some good sliding action at least, and we're enjoying it. It's service time now, so let's see if we can figure something out to improve the speed in the afternoon.
flash info (22 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It was quite tricky, but we had quite a clean run and made it through.
flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It's good that the times are good, because the feeling is awful! I tried to be clever in there with the tyres - not maximum attack. You need to be a bit smart. It's very difficult, because there's so much snow everywhere - I think I was in every snowbank possible! I had a few moments, I can tell you that, but it was good fun anyway!
flash info (31 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): It feels like we are gaining confidence with both the car and the surface. It's difficult to find the balance with the snowbanks - I tried to use them as friends rather than enemies - but it's amazing. I'm really enjoying it!
flash info (20 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The grip just isn't there in these conditions. I tried to drive well, but in some places there was too much going outside the lines.
flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): I'm enjoying it. Now we just need to fix the front of the car, and I'm looking forward to the second loop.
retired (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): broken radiator in SS 4
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): We touched a snowbank quite heavily, somewhere around the 10km mark. I saw Ott and Kalle stopped, which didn't really give me much confidence. It was quite messy; there was really no grip at all.
flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): We had to change the tyre, and I don't know if it was due to the cold or the battery, but the wheel gun was not wokring to put the nuts back on so we had to do it by hand. That cost us quite a lot of time.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): There were hard conditions. I had to use the snowbanks sometimes, which was not always what I wanted to do.
(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): stopped with damaged rear of his car
(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): puncture
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We had a really close call with Tänak. We caught him in a really fast corner, flat, nearly 180km/h. He was just at the exit and I didn't see him before - I'm lucky he saw me!
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): They were difficult conditions again. It was really hard to find the balance between pushing enough and being dragged into the loose snow on the outside. We tried to be clean but it wasn't easy.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Very difficult conditions but we went through the morning loop.
retired (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): accident in SS 4
