Date and time SS Information
15. 06. 2024 16:58 CET 17 flash info (3 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It is an amazing feeling. A lot of pressure going into the weekend, you want to win again after last year. Yesterday was a terrible feeling but today was good control, good speed and a relief.
15. 06. 2024 16:58 CET 17 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Given away points this year, we're giving away points.
15. 06. 2024 16:58 CET 17 (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): puncture
15. 06. 2024 16:57 CET 17 flash info (15 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): It feels really nice to be honest, after a very difficult period of rally for me it feels like win. Sorry for Franceschi. It's a very tough event, I don't blame myself at all that we couldn't match the speed of Solberg and Paddon, they are really professional drivers. Big thank you to the team, the setup was perfect and everything went really well.
15. 06. 2024 16:57 CET 17 retired (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): accident in SS 17
15. 06. 2024 16:57 CET 17 (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): rolled
15. 06. 2024 16:56 CET 17 flash info (17 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): I think we got the place we deserved, we haven't been able to follow Heikkilä and Franceschi but I have to say thank you to my team, my sponsors and codriver and see you in few weeks in Estonia.
15. 06. 2024 16:56 CET 17 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): It's a lot of good things about the weekend, we were fighting hard all the way through. We have to improve if we want to win, on this level you have to be flawless. Everyone has done their best and we have tried all the weekend. It's a good weekend and I have a new pressure washer so I'm happy.
15. 06. 2024 16:55 CET 17 flash info (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): There is big disappointment here, this [stage] was just to go safely through and not risk anything. We just have to check what went wrong, Thursday was good and we were holding P3, but it did not go as expected.
15. 06. 2024 16:55 CET 17 flash info (19 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): I'm really happy with the weekend. When we are pushing we are at the top, but we are mature and we are still good. Big thanks to everyone this weekend and we'll be back.
15. 06. 2024 16:55 CET 17 flash info (8 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was demanding, the guys know the stages from last year. I was thinking with our experience, pace notes and car we would get at least 0.4sec per kilometre but the reality is we fight for top 10. It's okay, we are on the finish. We need to improve for the next rallies on my side, but I am happy.
15. 06. 2024 16:54 CET 17 flash info (9 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It was an okay rally I think, we are happy. We improved a lot and changed the setup of the car completely. I need to thank everyone that made this happen, MRF, our team and all the sponsors and partners at home. Thank you to Lenzi. I think the real heroes of this rally are the co-drivers, they are braver than the drivers.
15. 06. 2024 16:54 CET 17 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): It was a really nice event, we enjoyed the roads a lot. Our pace in places was not as expected, I would like a bit more. At the same time, I look for improvement and the guys in front are doing a really good job so I wish all the best to them.
15. 06. 2024 16:53 CET 17 flash info (20 - Kristoffersson Johan / Skjærmoen Stig Rune): I've been waiting to hear that all weekend! I would like to do a bit more rallying, it's so nice when you're in the rhythm. It is nice to come and do rallying and it is humbling, these guys are so quick working with the pace notes and the car. Thanks to all of my sponsors but for now I think I'll go back to rallycross.
15. 06. 2024 16:53 CET 17 flash info (21 - Gustafsson Kalle / Nilsson Magnus): I'm really happy to be here at the finish, I want to thank everyone around me, my family and girlfriend, my co-workers here watching, everyone around. I'm so happy.
15. 06. 2024 16:52 CET 17 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It was quite tricky since the beginning, I think we did a good job but these guys are in another level. Apart from that, I am happy with our work.
15. 06. 2024 16:23 CET 17 flash info (11 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): I tried for sure, there are some points to play about for still. I made some mistakes, especially at the beginning of the stage. I could go much faster but I am at the finish. I want to say thanks to the team, for the car and I hope we can continue.
15. 06. 2024 16:22 CET 17 flash info (16 - Solberg Petter / Andersson Jonas): What a weekend! These stages are absolutely crazy. It's been really good fun but my heart rate is quite high. Doing this, being with the guys is incredible. We need a lot of testing before we do this again. Maybe let the young guys in the future, they have a lot about them that can make it good for the future. Really impressive fight this weekend.
15. 06. 2024 16:18 CET 17 flash info (27 - Kohn Filip / Woodburn Tom): It was a crazy rally, happy to be here. Lots of emotion. Thanks to the team.
15. 06. 2024 16:18 CET 17 flash info (29 - Charpentier Tristan / Barral Florian): We went easy on the stage, we did some good passes. The rally was a good experience and the pace was quite good.
15. 06. 2024 16:15 CET 17 flash info (30 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): I'm really happy. Now we have shown our pace, I am really happy. I want to thank my sponsors, the team, my coach Pontus Tidemand and all the fans in the forest. Finally, on gravel too.
15. 06. 2024 15:41 CET 17 Starting order: Johansson, Charpentier, Kohn, P.Solberg, Mareš, Llarena, Gustafsson, Kristoffersson, Tempestini, Mabellini, Marczyk, Reiersen, Sesks, Ostberg, Larsen, Franceschi, Heikkilä, Paddon, O.Solberg
15. 06. 2024 15:11 CET 16 flash info (3 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I drove quite slow in there. I was a bit surprised, this stage is very similar to home. It's a fun stage. I don't care about the Power Stage, I just want to win.
15. 06. 2024 15:11 CET 16 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I don't like being second but in the scheme of things it's not bad. We're just trying to be really neat and tidy now. We want Power Stage points so it's going to have to be a bit of a push.
15. 06. 2024 15:10 CET 16 flash info (15 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): I went wide on a junction, we lost out there. There is no room for this kind of error. Full attack, full attack!
15. 06. 2024 15:10 CET 16 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): We try until the end, this one is really fast and technical. I love this stage. I don't know if we can catch Heikkila but we'll see. Big flat out on the Power Stage.
15. 06. 2024 14:55 CET 16 flash info (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): This is something! I feel that we can drive faster but it seems that we are missing something, so we need to find out what.
15. 06. 2024 14:51 CET 16 flash info (17 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): It was better this time, I went a wide line round the ditch just to be sure. Hopefully it will be a good result this time.
15. 06. 2024 14:51 CET 16 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): We have a turbo issue or something now, because suddenly I am losing power in the middle of a straight. I don't know what is going on.
15. 06. 2024 14:49 CET 16 flash info (19 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): The cleaning we had this morning was a lot [on this stage], now I feel I found a rhythm which I can just keep up. It's so nice to drive, just to trust the car and the grip.
15. 06. 2024 14:48 CET 16 flash info (8 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It's better, but we need to wait for the tough guys. I hope the fastest driving style in the Power Stage. I was a little bit more sideways, putting the car in this position. It's a little bit more the style from the past. The rally is also about the pace notes and understanding the stages. On the Power Stage I hope that we will show good speed.
15. 06. 2024 14:43 CET 16 flash info (9 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): The time is improving because the road is improving, we have less loose gravel than this morning. We stay in this position, we aren't far from the others and we try and keep the speed and see what happens. For sure this stage is fast, it is 122kmh average. It's very flowing and you can feel the car moving from one corner to the other.
15. 06. 2024 14:42 CET 16 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): I feel good about my nickname, 'Sideways Simo' because I like to go sideways, but sometimes it is not good for the time. I feel good ahead of the last stage, let's see what we can do.
15. 06. 2024 14:36 CET 16 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): We are trying to finish the rally with the best feeling. I think we did a good stage but we are so far from the guys in front. We need to keep this pace in the Power Stage.
15. 06. 2024 14:34 CET 16 flash info (11 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): The fastest time will be much faster than us, but I have enjoyed the loop today and we're looking forward to the Power Stage.
15. 06. 2024 14:23 CET 15 flash info (16 - Solberg Petter / Andersson Jonas): I'd need much more testing if we were to do another event. I just want to enjoy, this is what is important in life. To have fun! Oliver gives me a lot of pleasure of course, it is hard to drive the same rally as him. Safedrive, Monster, HtB and Castrol have made this possible for us, so thank you.
15. 06. 2024 14:19 CET 15 retired (18 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Listerud Jørn): technical problem - brakes after SS 15
15. 06. 2024 14:18 CET 15 flash info (21 - Gustafsson Kalle / Nilsson Magnus): We are really happy, I drove really clean, no real slides or understeer. Not a lot for the spectators though. We are doing the top 15 fight.
15. 06. 2024 14:18 CET 15 flash info (20 - Kristoffersson Johan / Skjærmoen Stig Rune): It was difficult, I tried to commit but I had a more competitive run through the first one. It is difficult to commit to those cuts, but yes, very happy.
15. 06. 2024 14:18 CET 15 flash info (16 - Solberg Petter / Andersson Jonas): It's good, I tried to keep the rhythm. I pushed a little bit in places, not easy. A lot of loose rocks.
15. 06. 2024 14:17 CET 15 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We can't do anything about Solberg so we're just maintaining pace at the minute. We're trying to save the tyres for the Power Stage, so we can't slide around too much.
15. 06. 2024 14:17 CET 15 flash info (15 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): It was the same in the morning, we were eight tenths faster than him. We could stop the rally here, that's okay for me! We had a few pop off openings, so we lost maybe one tenth or one second because of that.
15. 06. 2024 14:17 CET 15 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): It's so close. We try, but it is difficult to have a gap between Mikko [Heikkilä] and us. Difficult!
15. 06. 2024 14:17 CET 15 flash info (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It felt okay, but it seems that something is not working. I feel that there is more potential in there, but I don't know.
15. 06. 2024 14:16 CET 15 flash info (17 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): It feels very good, I think within my limits this is the best I can do. If it is enough, I will be happy anyway.
15. 06. 2024 14:16 CET 15 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): It's really different. Problem is I had so many big moments earlier, at that point I was not sure what was happening. You change the pace notes and you see the problem was the car. I need to use the grip and try and do what I have to do.
15. 06. 2024 14:16 CET 15 flash info (19 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): It's still good grip, little bit more fun to drive when you can trust the car and the grip in the road. We are having so much fun, I love these stages. They are awesome.
15. 06. 2024 14:15 CET 15 flash info (8 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We haven't got any dust. We improved a lot but we are a second too slow. I feel better, but I am missing some speed. I am working on my driving style.
15. 06. 2024 14:15 CET 15 flash info (18 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Listerud Jørn): We lost the brakes after a kilometre, it was a lucky escape. After a very sharp left hander I pulled the handbrake and it was gone. It's not the best feeling to lose the brakes, but I hope I didn't ruin anything for Marczyk behind me.
15. 06. 2024 14:15 CET 15 flash info (9 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): I hope Brynildsen is okay, we had a clean stage with no issues, we are pushing but we are okay for the moment.
15. 06. 2024 14:14 CET 15 (18 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Listerud Jørn): was out of road
15. 06. 2024 14:13 CET 15 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): I'm sorry for Armstrong, I saw he struggled a bit. It was a nice stage again, we are enjoying a lot. We feel we can improve a lot, in some sections I go very fast and it is a nice feeling. It is a good test for the car. It is still our second proper rally with it, but I enjoy driving it a lot.
15. 06. 2024 14:13 CET 15 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It was much better. The road is completely clean so it is amazing to drive here. This morning it was completely different.
15. 06. 2024 14:13 CET 15 flash info (11 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): urprisingly not as fun, seems that our package was working better in the morning loop when it was a little bit damp. It is a bit more dry so I have to be cautious in there.
15. 06. 2024 14:12 CET 14 retired (37 - Pesavento Davide / Zanella Flavio): accident in SS 14
15. 06. 2024 14:12 CET 14 retired (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): technical problem - overheating after SS 14
15. 06. 2024 14:11 CET 14 flash info (16 - Solberg Petter / Andersson Jonas): Just to get clean stages, this was clean. Hopefully we will not have any issues, I am happy and we'll finish the day.
15. 06. 2024 14:11 CET 14 flash info (21 - Gustafsson Kalle / Nilsson Magnus): I think we are pretty happy with that, we went safely through and no moments. We are aiming for a top 15 finish so we are gonna catch the guys ahead I hope.
15. 06. 2024 14:11 CET 14 flash info (20 - Kristoffersson Johan / Skjærmoen Stig Rune): It was good, I was hoping to be a bit closer but we hit a stone on the front right halfway through the stage. All okay, so I am happy.
15. 06. 2024 14:10 CET 14 flash info (3 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): We need to drive good. There's some loose rocks in there, we had to take car. It will be a fast, tough afternoon. We have to be careful with the tyres. So far, so good, but we will see.
15. 06. 2024 14:10 CET 14 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I want to win the championship but I also want to win the rally! Oliver Solberg was driving really well this morning, we had no answers for him. But never say never.
15. 06. 2024 14:09 CET 14 flash info (15 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): Full attack for sure, I don't know what will happen but we'll try to push. I felt that it was a really good stage in there.
15. 06. 2024 14:09 CET 14 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): This time I just followed the road. The target is behind us, I want to see some of Heikkilä's splits.
15. 06. 2024 14:08 CET 14 flash info (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Everything seems to be working, so will continue from here. We'll see how it goes.
15. 06. 2024 14:08 CET 14 flash info (17 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): This was the first proper clean stage today. The feeling was much better now than this morning.
15. 06. 2024 14:08 CET 14 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): The car is fixed now, it is a completely different car. I need to get used to it again now. Now we are back to 4WD. I don't feel so comfortable but at least the car is working. We are fighting for fifth, it is a big fight. Was not good in here but we will improve for the next one.
15. 06. 2024 14:07 CET 14 flash info (19 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): It was much more gripped, didn't adapt to it at the beginning but got the hang of it at the end. I got a good feeling here.
15. 06. 2024 14:07 CET 14 flash info (8 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): Hard to say, could be faster. I am happy with the feeling of the car but now we will see on the long stage.
15. 06. 2024 14:07 CET 14 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): I hope to enjoy the last three stages because it is really beautiful to drive here, the roads are so beautiful and it is really nice. It is not easy, we are a bit unhappy with the pace this morning, but we hope to be back even faster.
15. 06. 2024 12:36 CET 13 retired (22 - Haglund Christoffer / Johansson Johan): health issues after SS 13
15. 06. 2024 11:18 CET 13 flash info (30 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): It's sad that Hallberg rolled on the last stage. He was very fast on the splits, maybe he was too fast. We need to be focused to bring the car to the finish and hopefully not lose the lead.
15. 06. 2024 11:18 CET 13 flash info (22 - Haglund Christoffer / Johansson Johan): We went off, tried to do the handbrake and came off the road, with no one to push it back on.
15. 06. 2024 11:17 CET 13 flash info (26 - Kazaz Kerem / Mālnieks Andris): It was a nice stage. I couldn't see the left side but it's okay.
15. 06. 2024 11:17 CET 13 flash info (29 - Charpentier Tristan / Barral Florian): We are trying our best, this afternoon is quite long. We will push this afternoon to get back the lead.
15. 06. 2024 11:17 CET 13 flash info (12 - Costenaro Giacomo / Ometto Pietro Elia): The stage is difficult, it's quick but it is so fun driving in here. Pretty challenging, but we're happy.
15. 06. 2024 11:16 CET 13 (22 - Haglund Christoffer / Johansson Johan): was out of road
15. 06. 2024 11:15 CET 13 flash info (16 - Solberg Petter / Andersson Jonas): Our steering rack is broken, it's tricky. It's broken inside, everything is loose. Not so safe on these roads.
15. 06. 2024 11:15 CET 13 flash info (21 - Gustafsson Kalle / Nilsson Magnus): Very fast, I thought my pace notes were faster than they were so next time I will be much faster.
15. 06. 2024 10:45 CET 13 flash info (20 - Kristoffersson Johan / Skjærmoen Stig Rune): They drive so fast, over the crest and it is so committed. It felt difficult to keep up with the notes so we drove a bit safe.
15. 06. 2024 10:43 CET 13 flash info (3 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I'm surprised, I was so slow at the end, it is so tricky. The beginning was good, I was pushing and it is a beautiful stage.
15. 06. 2024 10:40 CET 13 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We don't have an answer for Solberg at the moment, the car is not working with the low grip and there is no confidence in the car at all. Hopefully the grip might come to us and help us a little bit.
15. 06. 2024 10:40 CET 13 flash info (15 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): I just told my co-driver that I am not happy at all, we were way too careful in the beginning. We started to go quite wide on the lines and stopped too much.
15. 06. 2024 10:36 CET 13 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): Not an easy stage, to be honest I am not happy with my driving. I have to check the pacenotes because we lost a lot of time on the fast section. Too much brake.
15. 06. 2024 10:34 CET 13 flash info (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): When you don't know what is wrong, you're a bit scared when you drive! We will check in the service, we need to check the data as well.
15. 06. 2024 10:33 CET 13 flash info (17 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): In previous stage I went too deep into a cut, so I got hooked in and had to go a long way backwards to get to the road again. I've not had the correct feeling this morning so I'm happy to make this time and let's see what we can do in the afternoon.
15. 06. 2024 10:30 CET 13 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): I am a passenger, that's for sure. I cannot control the rear. Even on small flat corners, the rear is snapping out. We try to enjoy, but it is not so easy. This was my favourite from the recce and I hate that we don't like it on the rally because I am scared. We need to try and find out if something is wrong.
15. 06. 2024 10:29 CET 13 flash info (19 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): It's hard with the cleaning, especially the stage before. There was a lot of gravel. Still enjoying it, nice roads.
15. 06. 2024 10:28 CET 13 flash info (8 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): The grip is very poor, it is necessary to adapt to the driving techniques and the pace notes because the fast corners may not be fast now, I was braking too much in the fast places.
15. 06. 2024 10:26 CET 13 flash info (18 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Listerud Jørn): I tried to adapt, you cannot always blame the car. I need to be more smooth and do the corners more like a trial. It's character building, I need to improve and adapt to the car.
15. 06. 2024 10:25 CET 13 flash info (9 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It was okay this morning, this one I was not so confident on the time. We slipped quite a lot but it's normal on the first pass. This afternoon it should be okay.
15. 06. 2024 10:20 CET 13 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): It's a really nice loop, amazing stages and it is really nice to drive on this kind of road. I would like to have a more stable car. I don't know why we are sliding a lot. We are missing a lot of speed in the exits of the corners, if I try to be cleaner in the lines then I am sliding a lot.
15. 06. 2024 10:19 CET 13 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): We're just trying to get through, we felt it stick in there a bit so we just need to make sure we get back to service.
15. 06. 2024 10:18 CET 13 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It was quite difficult, I had a big moment in 5-6km. I really lose the confidence, but it is what it is.
15. 06. 2024 10:14 CET 13 flash info (11 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): I was really cautious in the beginning, I was very careful with the grip on the stage. We are here, we will see what we can do for the afternoon.
15. 06. 2024 10:14 CET 12 retired (43 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): accident in SS 12
15. 06. 2024 10:04 CET 12 retired (23 - Allen Philip / Furniss Dale): accident in SS 12
15. 06. 2024 10:01 CET 12 (17 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): spun
15. 06. 2024 10:05 CET 11 retired (41 - Zanin Mattia / De Guio Elia): accident in SS 11
15. 06. 2024 09:58 CET 11 flash info (16 - Solberg Petter / Andersson Jonas): Something is loose in the front, I just backed off. I have to go and check it now.
15. 06. 2024 09:58 CET 11 flash info (23 - Allen Philip / Furniss Dale): You can't judge the cuts so much, it's slippier than I thought. I didn't get a good rhythm in there, but I'll see for next time.
15. 06. 2024 09:58 CET 11 flash info (21 - Gustafsson Kalle / Nilsson Magnus): It's super fast, lots of grip now. I am enjoying today, hopefully set some more good times.
15. 06. 2024 09:57 CET 11 flash info (20 - Kristoffersson Johan / Skjærmoen Stig Rune): I had a very good feeling, I really enjoyed this stage. It was a bit slippery in the end, so maybe the tyre pressure was high. It was driven last year so maybe the others know it.
15. 06. 2024 09:57 CET 11 flash info (3 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I had a few sideways moments, very slippery. 2.0sec is nothing in such a long stage, so fast, so slippery, we just have to keep driving.
15. 06. 2024 09:57 CET 11 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Struggling at the moment, just have no grip. Got no feeling in the car and can't push how I want to, but the day is early and we've got a long way to go. I have to adapt and so does the car.
15. 06. 2024 09:56 CET 11 flash info (15 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): Very fun, the car feels perfect. Really, really nice stage. At the end it was very slippery, I think I was too sideways.
15. 06. 2024 09:56 CET 11 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): This stage was very demanding, a lot of speed. The last few kilometres was very slippery and I think you can have a mistake in here.
15. 06. 2024 09:56 CET 11 flash info (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): The biggest problem is that you drive and you don't know what is wrong, we tried on the road section and we stalled every third time. I am so nervous and this stage does not allow you to make mistakes. Sometimes it feels like it is close to stalling. It is not nice.
15. 06. 2024 09:55 CET 11 flash info (17 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): It's so fast in there, I was struggling with the balance of the car and I lost the rear all the time. Hopefully we can do something for the next few stages.
15. 06. 2024 09:55 CET 11 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): That was one of very many moments, I cannot control the car whatsoever, I am completely a passenger. I am really disappointed because these are nice stages, but I cannot drive, the car is just going backwards. Yesterday the balance was there but today the car is sliding absolutely everywhere, I don't know if we have a broken roll bar but we have completely lost the rear.
15. 06. 2024 09:54 CET 11 flash info (19 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): It's pretty hard, but still, we are just enjoying today. I really love this stage, it is the best in Sweden. It was fast last year in the Rally4 but this year it is really fast.
15. 06. 2024 09:54 CET 11 flash info (8 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was not bad, we had some oversteer, probably I was sliding a little too much. We need to check the car after this stage and go for the next few stages.
15. 06. 2024 09:54 CET 11 flash info (18 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Listerud Jørn): We had to change the damopers last night, you need confidence on these stages but I struggled to get the confidence. Unfortunately, there was 10min, so not so much enjoying this stage.
15. 06. 2024 09:54 CET 11 flash info (9 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): There is nothing easy in this rally! I tried, I put my whole effort in. It seems to be okay but not perfect. Let's see for the next one.
15. 06. 2024 09:53 CET 11 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): What I need to do is to go fast, we are going with a good grip in the car, we need to improve and push a bit more in the long and fast corners. We are sliding a lot, but it is enjoyable.
15. 06. 2024 09:53 CET 11 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): Honestly, it was really tricky, we were just struggling a bit with the rhythm. We're so far up in the road order that it was so loose, think that's the most drifting I've ever done. We'll see how we can improve.
15. 06. 2024 09:53 CET 11 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It is quite difficult, we are sliding a lot and there is big cleaning. It is what it is, but at least we enjoyed it.
15. 06. 2024 09:52 CET 11 flash info (11 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): It was good fun, this stage is my favourite out of this rally. I was surprised in some corners with the grip, there was also some loose gravel. It was demanding as well.
15. 06. 2024 09:52 CET 10 flash info (16 - Solberg Petter / Andersson Jonas): The road is clearer! It was a wake up call for sure, really good stage, really good fun. Went in a small ditch in the last corner, looks like a few people did.
15. 06. 2024 09:52 CET 10 flash info (23 - Allen Philip / Furniss Dale): It's nice! We're enjoying it a lot, everybody has done the stages last year, so let's see.
15. 06. 2024 09:52 CET 10 flash info (21 - Gustafsson Kalle / Nilsson Magnus): It is much better, it's completely full of grip. Bit too cautious now, but next stage will be better.
15. 06. 2024 09:51 CET 10 flash info (20 - Kristoffersson Johan / Skjærmoen Stig Rune): It was a good stage, I tried to push a bit. Good feeling in the morning, a good night's sleep and trying to get back into the rhythm for the morning.
15. 06. 2024 09:51 CET 10 flash info (3 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Very surprisingly slippery. The car feels better today, after a few changes, but we thought there would be more grip.
15. 06. 2024 09:51 CET 10 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's quite loose, obviously there is a clean line there but you have to be precise and stay in that line, so we had to pull the commitment down on that stage.
15. 06. 2024 09:50 CET 10 flash info (15 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): The feeling with the car is very good, one corner I made a small mistake in the line but otherwise I am happy with the performance. It will be a good day.
15. 06. 2024 09:50 CET 10 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): I think confidence is normal. Lot of sliding, still cleaning. Like yesterday, the setup is nice so I just need to focus on my driving and push.
15. 06. 2024 09:50 CET 10 flash info (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I don't know what's happening, the car just stalled under the braking.
15. 06. 2024 09:49 CET 10 (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): spun
15. 06. 2024 09:48 CET 10 flash info (17 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): A few wide moments towards the end, not the perfect show but I wanted to be on the pace from the start and I wanted to back it out a little bit to be on it for the next ones.
15. 06. 2024 09:48 CET 10 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): It was quite tricky, very slippery, a lot more than expected. We went wide a couple of times and you easily lose that time. We need to tidy up for the next one.
15. 06. 2024 09:48 CET 10 flash info (19 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): I like this stage, really looking forward to today. A good feeling, some loose gravel that is different from yesterday when we ran later, but it will be a good day I think.
15. 06. 2024 09:47 CET 10 flash info (8 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): Not a lot of difference. Not a lot of grip, but I tried being more calm, more into the lines and I hope we'll have some good stages.
15. 06. 2024 09:47 CET 10 flash info (18 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Listerud Jørn): I do all the rallies like it's my last and it's great fun. It's a pretty technical stage to wake you up!
15. 06. 2024 09:46 CET 10 flash info (9 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It's a very good morning because I got the two minutes more sleep.
15. 06. 2024 09:46 CET 10 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): It's quite loose in some places, it cleaned quite a bit. Not a bad run, we slide around a lot but it is all about keeping momentum. We need to see what we can do and see if we can get some good times.
15. 06. 2024 09:46 CET 10 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): It was okay, trying to get the confidence.
15. 06. 2024 09:46 CET 10 flash info (11 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): It was quite good fun, it was slippery, we are opening the road. It's good fun, we are trying to learn something with this position and we will do our best to try and take as many points as possible today.
15. 06. 2024 09:45 CET 10 Weather in Karlstad is sunny, temperature around 14°C.
14. 06. 2024 19:56 CET 9 retired (37 - Pesavento Davide / Zanella Flavio): retired on start SS 9
14. 06. 2024 19:56 CET 9 (37 - Pesavento Davide / Zanella Flavio): stuck in the roots on the start line
14. 06. 2024 17:38 CET 9 flash info (3 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): The times are so close anyway, every gap is important. It was so loose and so many rocks, it is not easy. The feeling today wasn't okay, I can't say I'm impressed with our day but hopefully we can have a bit of a push tomorrow.
14. 06. 2024 17:37 CET 9 flash info (19 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): I'm really happy, also very proud of myself, with how I calmed myself down and went at my own pace. Looking at the times, I was tenth on the stage but keeping a good distance to the pace. Really happy with my day.
14. 06. 2024 17:34 CET 9 flash info (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I can sleep two more minutes tomorrow? I saw Mabellini say the same! We start the day third, down to fifth, but that is racing. We learn from the mistakes today and keep going.
14. 06. 2024 17:34 CET 9 flash info (8 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): Not perfect on my side, I was trying to drive better lines but unfortunately it was how it was. We need to take this experience from the second loop for tomorrow, because it was quite rutted. I hope tomorrow to be in the lines more, use the pace notes and accelerate a little bit.
14. 06. 2024 17:34 CET 9 flash info (20 - Kristoffersson Johan / Skjærmoen Stig Rune): I think we might have picked up some tyre damage. The car was moving on the front all over the road so I was cautious in case something would break.
14. 06. 2024 17:29 CET 9 flash info (15 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): This is all a qualifying stage, I was not expecting it like this! This stage was really, really nice, we were not fast but I enjoyed it.
14. 06. 2024 17:26 CET 9 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): As Heikkilä would say, every stage is like a qualifying stage. It is crazy to think we're fighting for tenths of seconds on every stage. We tried to push on this one but every time we tried we lost the rear of the car. Tomorrow is more suited to us so let's see what we can do tomorrow.
14. 06. 2024 17:26 CET 9 flash info (17 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): It's been amazing, I feel like we're doing a really good job to be honest, even with the co-driver who is brand new, the pace notes, the car. You can see the names we are fighting with, I don't think we need to be ashamed.
14. 06. 2024 17:25 CET 9 flash info (18 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Listerud Jørn): It was really tough, we had some kind of damper issue on the rear left and then wheel damage on the last stage. It's stretching a bit to the top five guys and my aim this week was to make the top five.
14. 06. 2024 17:25 CET 9 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): Having fun, this is the result. It's nice.
14. 06. 2024 17:25 CET 9 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): They should do the jet washer every year. I will clean Eyvind's car for him. First I will wash my girlfriend's car.
14. 06. 2024 17:24 CET 9 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): Quite difficult day, I think we are doing our best. We are not fighting but we are more or less close to the pace, I am giving it 100 percent.
14. 06. 2024 17:24 CET 9 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): It was a nice set of stages today, beautiful ones. We enjoyed it, unfortunately tomorrow the start position will be worse than today, but that's it.
14. 06. 2024 17:23 CET 9 flash info (9 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): We improved a lot this afternoon, now let's see Tempestini's time and see if we can start one position later tomorrow so I can sleep for two more minutes.
14. 06. 2024 17:23 CET 9 flash info (11 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): I like the car and I feel really good in the car. Today was a problem with my driving, the feeling is getting better and better in each stage. It is quite promising for tomorrow, let's wait and see.
14. 06. 2024 17:23 CET 9 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): There was a bit of rain this afternoon, we've been trying some things but wer're not too far away with where we started the setup today. We're not too far away from the front pace, obviously the road position isn't too good for tomorrow but we'll fight with those around us and see what we can do.
14. 06. 2024 17:23 CET 9 flash info (16 - Solberg Petter / Andersson Jonas): It's actually getting better and better, I know this car okay. My co-driver is pushing me, there are so many people out and there is really good atmosphere - this is what rallying is.
14. 06. 2024 17:22 CET 9 flash info (21 - Gustafsson Kalle / Nilsson Magnus): It's not frustrating being second on the road, it is my own problem. The road is at is, so I just need to drive on it and have fun.
14. 06. 2024 17:22 CET 9 flash info (22 - Haglund Christoffer / Johansson Johan): Very good, so much fun and I can't complain. I am too tired now, the last two stages I am just surviving to keep my eyes open.
14. 06. 2024 17:22 CET 8 flash info (3 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Not really happy, it's so rough in there and I tried to be careful in places.
14. 06. 2024 17:22 CET 8 flash info (19 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): That was bad, I thought it was longer! Just finding the feel to drive and drive and drive! In here it was really rough, I've never driven this car on rough before, but it was fun to drive over the crest.
14. 06. 2024 17:21 CET 8 flash info (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It was okay, for sure it's ups and downs but that is rally I think.
14. 06. 2024 17:21 CET 8 flash info (8 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): I am enjoying but I am trying to get the proper speed. This was one was a little bit different because it was much softer.
14. 06. 2024 17:21 CET 8 flash info (20 - Kristoffersson Johan / Skjærmoen Stig Rune): The stage was really rough, so picked up some problems there. That's rally.
14. 06. 2024 17:20 CET 8 (20 - Kristoffersson Johan / Skjærmoen Stig Rune): puncture
14. 06. 2024 17:20 CET 8 flash info (15 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): The feeling with the car has been good all day, this afternoon I have been able to push harder because the grip has been better. This was a really slippery stage, a strange feeling.
14. 06. 2024 17:20 CET 8 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It wasn't as rough as I expected to be honest. We're pushing, we're trying, hopefully the next stage won't be so rough. We'd like to keep the pressure on, with 2 sec or 3 sec going into tomorrow, as tomorrow suits us better than today.
14. 06. 2024 17:20 CET 8 flash info (17 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): It has been a good afternoon as well, these conditions are the roughest I have ever seen. We don't have roads like this in the Norwegian national championship, so I'm glad Pirelli have these tyres for me!
14. 06. 2024 17:19 CET 8 flash info (18 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Listerud Jørn): I tried now, there is some rumours that Mads got the jet washer from Bauhaus, I think this is unfair as I am the old record holder! Bauhaus, I need one as well!
14. 06. 2024 17:19 CET 8 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): I think this time the jump was better for us. 41m? Not so bad. A lot of ruts at the beginning. I'm being careful to avoid tyre damage.
14. 06. 2024 17:19 CET 8 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): Felt longer! Let's hope it is OK. They already told me I would get it, they can't take it back now.
14. 06. 2024 17:18 CET 8 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): This stage is completely rutted, you have some big ruts and some big stones. Our time is not the best time, for sure.
14. 06. 2024 17:18 CET 8 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): It was a nice run, but I am not happy about my time. I expected the stage to be a bit smoother, it was quite rough at the beginning.
14. 06. 2024 17:18 CET 8 flash info (9 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): This stage is amazing, I really love it. It's so incredible, the jump was so good. Last year I made 44m, let's see Mads Østberg because I know he is waiting for this and wanting the jet washer.
14. 06. 2024 17:18 CET 8 flash info (11 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): It was nice, for sure the biggest jump in our car so far. The rest of the stage was really rutted, I didn't expect it. It was a mistake with the ride height, my mistake, the performance was quite okay.
14. 06. 2024 17:17 CET 8 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): I kept more to the left this time, we flew a bit further too. I don't know what the record is, but it was a good run, quite rough in there, lots of stones being dragged out.
14. 06. 2024 17:17 CET 8 flash info (16 - Solberg Petter / Andersson Jonas): We were pushing a little bit and crashing through like mad, it was good fun and worked out really well. There is nothing wrong with the car, only the driver. This car won last year, maybe it is time to go back to the Escort historic!
14. 06. 2024 17:17 CET 8 flash info (21 - Gustafsson Kalle / Nilsson Magnus): It's really rough now, we took a bit careful because it is a rental car so I wanted to keep it clean.
14. 06. 2024 17:17 CET 8 flash info (22 - Haglund Christoffer / Johansson Johan): Too much brake and stones everywhere, too easy and too much brake. Not the best today.
14. 06. 2024 17:15 CET 7 flash info (3 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): All the rain came now! Unbelievable! I'm glad I didn't lose too much time, very lucky. So slippery in the end there. A bit unlucky with the weather.
14. 06. 2024 15:49 CET 7 retired (34 - Müller Liam / Hirsch Alexander): accident in SS 7
14. 06. 2024 15:15 CET 7 flash info (19 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): It is really hard. Start of the stage, a lot of rain, middle of the stage, no rain, end of the stage a lot of rain. It was challenging!
14. 06. 2024 15:15 CET 7 flash info (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It's like sometimes when we are on the top speed, the wiper doesn't take off the rain. You don't see the road as you usually do.
14. 06. 2024 15:14 CET 7 Huge shower on SS7 now, with heavy rain falling as Sesks takes to the stage.
14. 06. 2024 15:11 CET 6 flash info (3 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): You push hard! 1.2sec is not a lot of time when you push that hard. It's gonna be a big battle.
14. 06. 2024 15:11 CET 6 flash info (19 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): I think I'm at 95 percent! I was really surprised about the grip, it was a nice surprise. Trying not to get any more moments.
14. 06. 2024 15:11 CET 6 flash info (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It was quite clean to be honest, looks like the fight is fun because it is really tight in there.
14. 06. 2024 15:11 CET 6 flash info (8 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): The limit is okay, still not proper driving but we are increasing. Every stage we are faster and I hope it is like that on the next one also.
14. 06. 2024 15:10 CET 6 flash info (20 - Kristoffersson Johan / Skjærmoen Stig Rune): It was alright, a lot of cuts to take advantage of. It's difficult to do it and commit to the notes but I enjoyed it.
14. 06. 2024 15:10 CET 6 flash info (15 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): Nice to hear. I don't care about the time actually, it was a really fun stage and we didn't have any moments, so still on the comfortable job.
14. 06. 2024 15:10 CET 6 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): There is more grip but you have to use the line, we were off the line a lot after the first part so we need to tidy that up.
14. 06. 2024 15:10 CET 6 flash info (17 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): It felt quite good, but it is difficult in the ruts now for the second pass so I will try to work on it and improve.
14. 06. 2024 15:09 CET 6 flash info (18 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Listerud Jørn): We have to go flat out but we have something wrong with the left rear, either some damage or a broken driveshaft.
14. 06. 2024 15:09 CET 6 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): This is the plan. That's all. Push push.
14. 06. 2024 15:09 CET 6 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): It was a little bit easier than this morning, some lines with a little bit more grip but I couldn't take full advantage as I lost the rear too much in the loose. The grip has increased so I need to take advantage of that in the next stages.
14. 06. 2024 15:08 CET 6 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): Feeling is okay, now the stage is much faster with a lot of cleaning in the corners.
14. 06. 2024 15:08 CET 6 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): It was quite a bit different. We changed the tyres and I think I need to adapt a bit more to the car now and the feeling is good. We have the medium tyres now.
14. 06. 2024 15:07 CET 6 flash info (9 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It is dry, the rain does not affect anything. We improved on this morning, this morning we struggled with the loose gravel.
14. 06. 2024 15:07 CET 6 flash info (11 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): It's a nice stage, second pass was better than the first one. I would like to be the fastest, but we enjoyed the stage. The new part, shipped in from Finland is on the car.
14. 06. 2024 15:07 CET 6 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): A lot more grip than this morning, we knew this stage would have some rain so I changed the setup a little bit. Let's see what the times are like behind.
14. 06. 2024 15:06 CET 6 flash info (16 - Solberg Petter / Andersson Jonas): It's not much clearer, more rutted. It is not too bad, quite good fun. Less and less hesitating but there is still a long way to go to push properly. At the end of the day we improved and had fun. I think I improved a little bit.
14. 06. 2024 15:06 CET 6 flash info (21 - Gustafsson Kalle / Nilsson Magnus): We changed the dashboard now, so now the stage mode is good. It's a completely different stage to this morning, so we are enjoying a lot now.
14. 06. 2024 15:06 CET 6 flash info (22 - Haglund Christoffer / Johansson Johan): Now you can drive really fast, mamma mia! Now you just have to be brave because there is a big grip.
14. 06. 2024 11:37 CET 5 flash info (3 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Not good, so loose and slippery. The last two stages, the car is awful on these kind of roads, not predictable at all. It is not easy.
14. 06. 2024 11:33 CET 5 flash info (19 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): We have to be a little bit more careful, we had a huge moment on the second stage. On the speed I had, we couldn't keep that for the whole weekend. We need to take the experience from the weekend but I am happy with the pace so far.
14. 06. 2024 11:32 CET 5 flash info (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I thought it wasn't that bad, we'll see what we do in service.
14. 06. 2024 11:29 CET 5 flash info (8 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We are on the soft compound, for the first stage it was a good choice but for the longer ones it was a little bit too soft. I was fine on this one but the time was not so good.
14. 06. 2024 11:28 CET 5 flash info (20 - Kristoffersson Johan / Skjærmoen Stig Rune): I cannot do more, I am beyond my limit.
14. 06. 2024 11:26 CET 5 flash info (15 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): Quite fine margins, I was pushing and I struggled with the loose gravel in the beginning. It is really tight now.
14. 06. 2024 11:25 CET 5 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): There's no tyre wear here, our tyres will probably do the whole rally. Expecting the challenge to be different on the second pass, but amazing stages which you can't help but smile on.
14. 06. 2024 11:25 CET 5 flash info (17 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): It's a lot of cleaning, I'm missing the last bit to make it perfect, missing some exits, but I am happy.
14. 06. 2024 11:25 CET 5 flash info (18 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Listerud Jørn): It's high pressure at the top, I tried on this stage to push more, this stage is new for everybody because it is in reverse. It is loose at the beginning, I think it is all about being a little bit mad.
14. 06. 2024 11:18 CET 5 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): This stage was demanding but amazing. Lots of big slides. Flat out. I love it.
14. 06. 2024 11:15 CET 5 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): It was a nice stage, I liked it a lot, but it is so loose and the grip is so low so you lose the rear and can go sideways. Strangely enough, I enjoy those moments. Hopefullythe jet-washer is coming my way.
14. 06. 2024 11:15 CET 5 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): Tyres are working really well, the problem is between the steering and the seat. We are trying to improve step by step. In every small corner, there could be a real disaster, so it's okay, it's good.
14. 06. 2024 11:15 CET 5 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): It felt good, it was a really nice stage. I think the pace notes were good, we can be faster. Sometimes I feel like the loop is changing a lot, but I hope in the second loop to trust the grip more.
14. 06. 2024 11:14 CET 5 flash info (9 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): I used black and round. It's new and it's working. We lose a little bit of time to the guys behind due to the road position but this afternoon will be better, so we'll see.
14. 06. 2024 11:14 CET 5 flash info (11 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): o be honest, I am not so satisfied. I am struggling with the rhythm in some places and in others it is so slippery that I don't have confidence. Hopefully we can improve.
14. 06. 2024 11:14 CET 5 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): It's been quite a good morning, the feeling has been getting better and better, feel like we're carrying more speed through the entry and the middle. We're fighting the guys around us and I've changed the setup so I can drive a bit more like the rally driver I want to be like.
14. 06. 2024 11:13 CET 5 flash info (16 - Solberg Petter / Andersson Jonas): No chance we get the detail in the notes. Here, my pace notes were not good, far too tough. Really nice stage but very slippery and very tricky.
14. 06. 2024 11:13 CET 5 flash info (21 - Gustafsson Kalle / Nilsson Magnus): I can't turn off the stage mode, so we are having little struggles. It is constant.
14. 06. 2024 11:12 CET 5 flash info (22 - Haglund Christoffer / Johansson Johan): Amazing, it's very hard but so fun. The traction is good in some places and sometimes you are in a ditch. It's so fun.
14. 06. 2024 19:58 CET 4 (36 - Schulz Timo / Wenzel Michael): spun
14. 06. 2024 11:12 CET 4 (33 - Polášek Daniel / Omelka Zdeněk): puncture
14. 06. 2024 11:11 CET 4 flash info (3 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): A bit too careful in there, not an easy stage, very loose and rough. At least we are leading but not easy.
14. 06. 2024 11:11 CET 4 flash info (19 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): It's so technical and very rough in there. I have been pushing a little bit too hard this morning, so just need to take some breaths and enjoy it.
14. 06. 2024 11:11 CET 4 flash info (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): This one was already enjoyable, it starts to get on the right side of my driving. Still very long two days to go.
14. 06. 2024 11:11 CET 4 flash info (8 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was a pleasure, very intensive stage. In some places we tried too much, in some a little too slow, but I hope we can improve.
14. 06. 2024 11:10 CET 4 flash info (20 - Kristoffersson Johan / Skjærmoen Stig Rune): This one was not too bad to be honest, a bit more rough in here so I have to get used to that. I know this one a little bit more from Rally Sweden but so do the others too, so it is difficult to match their times.
14. 06. 2024 11:10 CET 4 flash info (15 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): It was really slippery, much more than expected. We hoped for a better time but it is what it is.
14. 06. 2024 11:10 CET 4 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It won't be the longest or highest jump because I like to keep my wheels on the ground. It's definitely roughing up in there for the second pass. Quick shoutout to the people back home for Hyundai, hopefully they go and kick butt tomorrow.
14. 06. 2024 11:09 CET 4 flash info (17 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): It was so much fun, this was my co-driver's first time doing a jump in a rally car and he enjoyed it. A tricky stage, but happy to get through and happy to get through the stages so far.
14. 06. 2024 11:09 CET 4 flash info (18 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Listerud Jørn): It is really good, I enjoyed it. I wasn't brave enough, I think we jumped quite far but that was a good stage. I have to move my left leg to the side next time!
14. 06. 2024 11:09 CET 4 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): It's really special to do this stage, the jump is amazing. I don't know how many metres we jumped, but it felt good. Still slippery!
14. 06. 2024 11:08 CET 4 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): I don't think anyone liked my advice last year because they didn't ask this year, it was a bad stage for us except the jump. I missed the first junction by 30m, it was a bit slippery and I flew right past it. We lost 5.0sec in there.
14. 06. 2024 11:08 CET 4 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): We didn't do this stage last year, the grip is okay and it is better, for sure we are trying but we are out of the race.
14. 06. 2024 11:07 CET 4 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): It was a nice jump, really nice stage. I feel that we can be much faster, but I still need to work a bit.
14. 06. 2024 11:07 CET 4 flash info (9 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): I really like this one, it is a very good stage. A little bit of loose gravel and it is very sandy out there. I really like the jump, the jump is better this year.
14. 06. 2024 11:07 CET 4 flash info (11 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): The stage was quite okay, I was surprised with the low grip on the stage compared to the previous stages. The jump was good fun and the rest of the stage was brilliant, so we enjoyed the stage.
14. 06. 2024 11:06 CET 4 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): It was pretty fun, conditions aren't too bad. It's quite smooth so we had a good bit of grip, we were a bit on the right too much over the landing but no damage done.
14. 06. 2024 11:06 CET 4 flash info (16 - Solberg Petter / Andersson Jonas): It was good fun, really good stage. There was a lot of people in there. I get some kick, it is good for my heart to drive a stage last year. I had the wrong line on the jump and I don't like jumping many times, but I like this one.
14. 06. 2024 11:06 CET 4 flash info (21 - Gustafsson Kalle / Nilsson Magnus): We're aiming for top 10 again, I think the loose gravel is too much this year to be able to compete but we will try our best tomorrow and on the second pass.
14. 06. 2024 11:05 CET 4 flash info (22 - Haglund Christoffer / Johansson Johan): It's a good feeling, we jumped very bad but we broke a lot. What a stage, amazing.
14. 06. 2024 11:05 CET 3 flash info (3 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Better and we tried to push a little bit more in there. Very slippery and very difficult, I have the memories of the stage with the Polo and now I have to change the style completely. It's a difficult rally.
14. 06. 2024 11:04 CET 3 flash info (19 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): I was quite far out in a left hander and lost a lot of rhythm. We'll see, we have to change tyre. I think it is a puncture.
14. 06. 2024 11:04 CET 3 flash info (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Not so good, not so good. The feeling, I'm not used to it, but maybe it's me.
14. 06. 2024 11:04 CET 3 flash info (8 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was not bad, we were trying to drive smooth. Maybe it is possible to drive faster, but we should continue like this.
14. 06. 2024 11:04 CET 3 flash info (20 - Kristoffersson Johan / Skjærmoen Stig Rune): It is difficult to say how far behind we are, but it was more difficult to commit to this one, it's a fast road and it was used last year. We just need to try to commit more.
14. 06. 2024 11:03 CET 3 flash info (15 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): I'm wondering if I'm coming too sideways, at least it is easy and fun to come sideways but it can be more efficient to come straight. Let's improve.
14. 06. 2024 11:03 CET 3 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): This rally is a sprint rally, we didn't have a good stage but it is a long rally in terms of stages. In the ERC the super-specials are quite important because they are all sprint rallies.
14. 06. 2024 11:02 CET 2 retired (40 - Nerobutto Geronimo Ermanno / Angeli Alessio): accident in SS 2
14. 06. 2024 11:01 CET 2 retired (31 - McRae Max / Fair Cameron): accident in SS 2
14. 06. 2024 11:01 CET 2 (31 - McRae Max / Fair Cameron): rolled
14. 06. 2024 11:00 CET 2 flash info (3 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was a decent stage, just trying to start nice and clean and nothing special.
14. 06. 2024 11:00 CET 2 flash info (19 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): AH! It feels so good, fastest by a second. We will see now what [Solberg] can do but that's a good start!
14. 06. 2024 11:00 CET 2 flash info (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Not good, made a few stupid mistakes and I think there was a lot more in us here. Okay, we will take it from here.
14. 06. 2024 11:00 CET 2 flash info (8 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We stopped the engine on the start, the driving was not so bad but we probably lost 5 sec on the start.
14. 06. 2024 10:58 CET 2 (8 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): stalled engine on start
14. 06. 2024 10:57 CET 2 flash info (20 - Kristoffersson Johan / Skjærmoen Stig Rune): I need FIA approved diapers for rally! We almost went off in the first corner of the stage, there are so many pace notes coming, even the easy parts you can't focus. Very, very difficult but I try to enjoy.
14. 06. 2024 10:57 CET 2 flash info (15 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): No, not satisfied, I was pushing but we went too wide sometimes and it was difficult to hear the pace notes.
14. 06. 2024 10:56 CET 2 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It was probably too tired, it's loose. You have to dial it back a bit, but I was very committed. This stage will probably be very enjoyable on the second pass.
14. 06. 2024 10:56 CET 2 flash info (17 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): It felt a bit untidy at times, some big slides in there but all good with the car and need to find a good rhythm for the day now. I think we missed the line a couple of times and it will continue to clean for the cars.
14. 06. 2024 10:56 CET 2 flash info (18 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Listerud Jørn): Very slippery, I hate saying that word but there is cleaning in there. We tried to enjoy but I need to get into this. I need to relax and enjoy.
14. 06. 2024 10:56 CET 2 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): Feel okay, still cleaning, but we know the gravel was bad, so it is like this. It is a good stage but I need to slide a bit less.
14. 06. 2024 10:55 CET 2 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): It was okay but I have a really bad smell in the car, like fire but from the rubber. We need to check, I tried to pay attention to some smoke. We need to check, maybe it is the exhaust.
14. 06. 2024 10:55 CET 2 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): The soft tyre is working really well for sure, the stage is full of dust and gravel, maybe one of the more difficult stages to start the rally.
14. 06. 2024 10:55 CET 2 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): It was a clean run for us, at the beginning I expected different grip. It will clean a lot but it is a really nice stage and we enjoyed, let's see the next.
14. 06. 2024 10:54 CET 2 flash info (9 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): Seems to be all okay, a lot of loose gravel, we were sliding a lot. Let's see the others in the back, it's all okay and no risks for this stage.
14. 06. 2024 10:54 CET 2 flash info (11 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): To be honest, I was too careful, especially in the beginning. It's a new stage but really nice, I hope we will go faster in the next stages.
14. 06. 2024 10:53 CET 2 flash info (16 - Solberg Petter / Andersson Jonas): It's pretty crazy to be racing against P. Solberg, in primary school you had to do something on your idols, and I did a thing on Solberg because I was rooting for him against Loeb! Really slippery in there, lots of sliding and had to compromise the entry speed in the corners, but let's see what we can do.
14. 06. 2024 10:53 CET 2 flash info (16 - Solberg Petter / Andersson Jonas): It was not bad, I couldn't hear the co-driver, it's so noisy from the loose, so we were fighting to get the pace notes properly. Good fun. Difficult stage, really.
14. 06. 2024 10:53 CET 2 flash info (21 - Gustafsson Kalle / Nilsson Magnus): Very slippery, lots of loose bits on the stage. I think we will lose some time on this stage and get it back in the next stage I hope.
14. 06. 2024 10:52 CET 2 flash info (22 - Haglund Christoffer / Johansson Johan): Quite slippery, but very funny. We went wide in a lot of corners. It's a little bit slippery in the end.
14. 06. 2024 06:51 CET 2 Weather in Karsltad is sunny, temperature around 13°C.
14. 06. 2024 06:25 CET 1 flash info (44 - Lie-Nilsen Herman / Halland Vegard): It's feel good to start the rally. I hope we are ready for tomorrow, it will be a nice day.
14. 06. 2024 06:25 CET 1 flash info (43 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): It was good, in Sweden we drive the old Volvo round the roundabout, we have good knowledge of that!
14. 06. 2024 06:24 CET 1 flash info (41 - Zanin Mattia / De Guio Elia): It was a really funny stage, I enjoy it a lot. It's good because we saw the time of McRae before. The race is tomorrow, there is Herman Lie-Nilsen and Patrik Hallberg behind that will be fast.
14. 06. 2024 06:24 CET 1 flash info (40 - Nerobutto Geronimo Ermanno / Angeli Alessio): I don't want to risk, the race is tomorrow so I'm going to sleep.
14. 06. 2024 06:23 CET 1 flash info (39 - Herczig Patrik / Varga Kristóf): It was really good, I really enjoyed it. You need to be really careful in the last asphalt section, but other than that all good.
14. 06. 2024 06:23 CET 1 flash info (38 - Sei Karl-Markus / Leotoots Martin): Great news, I didn't expect that kind of a result. We were taking it really carefully. We have two long days ahead and this really means nothing actually.
14. 06. 2024 06:22 CET 1 flash info (37 - Pesavento Davide / Zanella Flavio): Quite good preparation, this is a very short stage. The race is tomorrow, we cannot wait to start tomorrow.
14. 06. 2024 06:22 CET 1 flash info (36 - Schulz Timo / Wenzel Michael): The real rally starts tomorrow, that was a cool stage for the spectators. It is a long day ahead.
14. 06. 2024 06:21 CET 1 flash info (35 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): I don't want to do something stupid in front of all these amazing Swedish fans. A little bit too careful, but important to beat Mille [Johansson], he will hear that for a little while!
14. 06. 2024 06:21 CET 1 flash info (34 - Müller Liam / Hirsch Alexander): I hope that we come into the top six on this rally, it's very fast but I think it makes a lot of fun.
14. 06. 2024 06:20 CET 1 flash info (33 - Polášek Daniel / Omelka Zdeněk): It's the best way to spend my birthday, incredible. I am so happy, what else could you wish for?
14. 06. 2024 06:20 CET 1 flash info (32 - Raftery Aoife / McKillop Hannah): It's great to be third in the championship coming here, but the stages are really fast, they look really fun so we're looking forward to it.
14. 06. 2024 06:19 CET 1 flash info (31 - McRae Max / Fair Cameron): We had a but of a two wheel moment, but we're still here and that's the main thing. Bit of a tricky stage to start but I'm very glad to finish that.
14. 06. 2024 06:18 CET 1 flash info (30 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): It feels really good to be here, it is one of the highlights of the year, we are leading the championship also which is nice. Me and McRae showed great pace in the shakedown, so hopefully it will be a weekend of good battles.
13. 06. 2024 21:37 CET 1 flash info (29 - Charpentier Tristan / Barral Florian): It went pretty well, it was a bit more narrow than on the shakedown. The car felt really good and we just had fun.
13. 06. 2024 21:36 CET 1 flash info (28 - Ravenščak Martin / Ravenščak Dora): It was an okay run, I am happy. Tomorrow, the rally starts.
13. 06. 2024 21:36 CET 1 flash info (27 - Kohn Filip / Woodburn Tom): Tricky stage, took it easy and we want to push on tomorrow.
13. 06. 2024 21:35 CET 1 flash info (26 - Kazaz Kerem / Mālnieks Andris): Not a push, just a clean stage. We need to keep everything good for tomorrow, tomorrow is everything.
13. 06. 2024 21:35 CET 1 flash info (25 - Widłak Igor / Dymurski Daniel): I don't like these stages, you can lose everything on them and win nothing, I am happy to be here though.
13. 06. 2024 21:25 CET 1 (16 - Solberg Petter / Andersson Jonas): fire under car in stop control
13. 06. 2024 21:24 CET 1 flash info (3 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was just clean, it started raining in the beginning! I took it easy. Tonight doesn't matter, it's tomorrow with the forest action.
13. 06. 2024 21:24 CET 1 flash info (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): Sometimes it is better to close the mouth.
13. 06. 2024 20:45 CET 1 (4 - Franceschi Mathieu / Malfoy Andy): stalled engine on start
13. 06. 2024 20:45 CET 1 flash info (1 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It was a very sedate drive, very smooth and certainly wasn't on the limit and could have been a lot quicker, we look forward to tomorrow now.
13. 06. 2024 20:43 CET 1 flash info (2 - Llarena Efrén / Fernandez Sara): I feel okay, it is quite difficult, especially the last part. Here we can lose more than the win, so let's see for tomorrow.
13. 06. 2024 20:42 CET 1 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Itu Sergiu): I expected a bit more grip, when I hit the limiter I hit [the donut in first gear] like that.
13. 06. 2024 20:42 CET 1 flash info (7 - Armstrong Jon / Treacy Eoin): It was a pretty good stage, I messed up the last corner before the roundabout, missed the line and went too deep. The setup was good and we're looking forward to starting tomorrow.
13. 06. 2024 20:39 CET 1 flash info (8 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): Not a great drive from my side, I was trying too much, especially on the gravel part. Tomorrow we start the proper race and I hope for a big push for the morning.
13. 06. 2024 20:35 CET 1 flash info (9 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It's already full of sprays of rain! For the moment, it is all okay, we enjoyed it and tomorrow we will begin the very big rally. We don't have the perfect starting position but we will do our best.
13. 06. 2024 20:33 CET 1 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Barth Patrik): Bauhaus have all the tools I want in there, I hope they will give a tool bag for the longest jump on Colin's. I need a big jet washer.
13. 06. 2024 20:31 CET 1 flash info (11 - Mareš Filip / Bucha Radovan): We had a small issue with an oil hose leaking, but we managed it to the start. We took it really easy, the stage was really tricky especially in the forest. We are here now though.
13. 06. 2024 20:30 CET 1 flash info (12 - Costenaro Giacomo / Ometto Pietro Elia): It was really good stage for spectators, but tricky for competitors. It was fun and good.
13. 06. 2024 20:27 CET 1 flash info (14 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It was a bit slippery! Is there any damage? I went a little bit wide, I knew that there was more space but yeah, it's fine!
13. 06. 2024 20:26 CET 1 flash info (15 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): I was really careful, the main thing is we are here. The donut was not a good success - I hope it wasn't on TV.
13. 06. 2024 20:25 CET 1 flash info (17 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): I was most nervous for the roundabout on this rally, I was happy I got a pretty nice drift!
13. 06. 2024 20:24 CET 1 flash info (18 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Listerud Jørn): I always push, I enjoyed it quite a lot. The tricky last section was quite fun. It's a good start to the rally and no big mistakes. It's good to go through these stages because now we can start the rally and... breathe!
13. 06. 2024 20:24 CET 1 flash info (19 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): It's not easy! So narrow, easy to mistakes. We are through and have a home rally in front of us.
13. 06. 2024 20:23 CET 1 flash info (20 - Kristoffersson Johan / Skjærmoen Stig Rune): It's liking being around the parking lot, was a good stage very tricky. We tried to stay calm and not making any mistakes. Lacking a bit of power compared to a rallycross car, but a good night sleep now and look forward to tomorrow.
13. 06. 2024 20:23 CET 1 flash info (21 - Gustafsson Kalle / Nilsson Magnus): We are trying to do the same this year, the competition is higher this year so we will do a best. The starting position is not great, but we'll do our best.
13. 06. 2024 20:22 CET 1 flash info (22 - Haglund Christoffer / Johansson Johan): It was quite fun, a little tricky in the forest but it was okay. Did you enjoy the roundabout section?
13. 06. 2024 20:22 CET 1 flash info (23 - Allen Philip / Furniss Dale): Stalled, a gear too high and it didn't work! There's more to be lost than gained, we are where we are. I think it is me, not the new car!
13. 06. 2024 20:21 CET 1 (23 - Allen Philip / Furniss Dale): stalled engine on start
13. 06. 2024 20:21 CET 1 flash info (24 - Cuzma Bogdan / Dorca Florin): We were expecting something more slippery, it was good grip at one point then it just disappeared.
13. 06. 2024 20:13 CET 1 Weather in Karlstad is cloudy and rainy, temperature around 15°C.
