Information

Date and time SS Information
08. 06. 2025 15:10 CET 16 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): In the ruts I just couldn't turn the car and there was no speed at all, so I didn't try to force it and hid it, so I just stopped and reversed. Not ideal, but enough to win. In many places I won many times. Characteristics is something that I like, where precise driving is required and tyre management. Thanks team, great turnaround after Portugal in terms of speed and setup, good job.
08. 06. 2025 15:10 CET 16 (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): spun
08. 06. 2025 15:10 CET 16 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I did a clean run, oboviously the whole weekend we were quite struggling. Another super demanding rally for the car, it was a tough job.
08. 06. 2025 15:09 CET 16 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Surprised with the time, it didn't feel good, but I think it is the same for everybody, so narrow and so slow. Our plan is to have a clean weekend and collect what we have at the end. No stupid moves the whole weekend, maybe today on the dancefloor, but that hasn't happened yet. Thanks to the team, the car was good this weekend.
08. 06. 2025 15:09 CET 16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I think overall we have to be satisfied with how our weekend has turned out, obviously getting to the end without trouble proved quite vital here. But we are in a championship with these guys in the end and we still want to fight at the sharp end with them.
08. 06. 2025 15:09 CET 16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Not really a moment, just a stupid mistakes, we got stuck in very loose surface. It's a shame, but for the next one in Greece I feel quite confident, so I want to get a good result there.
08. 06. 2025 15:08 CET 16 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Maybe today the feeling has been a bit mixed, but there were some positives as well. Tricky event, for sure it was not easy. But still to come to the finish was the most important and we managed it. Thanks to the team, there was some work for them so we are really grateful for them.
08. 06. 2025 15:08 CET 16 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I gave it all. I can be happy with my stage, but there is just too much cleaning in this stage. Lots of lines to make. I'm sorry for the team, everything felt under control and then just a little surprise. This weekend gave us a lot of hopes for the future.
08. 06. 2025 15:07 CET 16 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was difficult, the grip was lower than this morning some places, in others it was better. There was a lot of slipping for me, the lines were not good enough. I did my best.
08. 06. 2025 15:07 CET 16 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): This stage, very slippery. if you have to attack and get points, you have to have a big stomach. We enjoyed, I must also have to thank M-Sport for repairing the car on Friday. We hope to have a better one in two weeks in Greece.
08. 06. 2025 15:07 CET 16 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): For sure it's a disappointig weekend after Friday. The boys and girls did a good job to get us back on the road. We tried a lot of things for Greece, not sure if we found a lot of things, but at least we had a chance to go for it and tried some ideas.
08. 06. 2025 15:06 CET 16 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Lots of good learning. Big kudos to the team for changing the front damper in the short service. It definetly has been good learning.
08. 06. 2025 15:06 CET 16 Starting order: McErlean, Munster, Serderidis, Fourmaux, Neuville, Pajari, Katsuta, Evans, Rovanperä, Tänak, Ogier

08. 06. 2025 14:58 CET 15 (31 - Joona Lauri / Vaaleri Samu): puncture
08. 06. 2025 14:57 CET 15 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): After Friday I did not expect that I will lead. Now when you look at it I should have scored points. That's life. Every rally is a rally, you have got to do well in all the rallies. I was taking it smooth in the first 10km and then I was gonna push properly the last 15 because then I don't care about the tyres. I was ready to go, but yeah I am happy.
08. 06. 2025 14:57 CET 15 flash info (29 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): his part was quite rough, it is not easy to say where we got the puncture. I had two big bumps. Maybe we took the rim out in a hairpin, it was easy to roll. Difficult to say, but then after there was no place to change the tyre. So we drop time to find the place. It was a good fight. One stage to go and one stage to enjoy.
08. 06. 2025 14:57 CET 15 (29 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): puncture
08. 06. 2025 14:57 CET 15 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It is not getting easier. The conditions are very rough. A clean stage, no push, just a smooth drive.
08. 06. 2025 14:56 CET 15 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It is so close at the moment. It will be on the door handles on the powerstage.
08. 06. 2025 14:56 CET 15 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Quite well, the conditions are really rough and really high tyre wear. I was quite careful in there, steady pace, nothing crazy.
08. 06. 2025 14:56 CET 15 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): No problem with dust. And this stage? Not brilliantly. It was OK, no big issues but I am sure the guys behind are coming quickly.
08. 06. 2025 14:55 CET 15 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is really stressful, it hurts my soul. We made it so it should be easy to the service.
08. 06. 2025 14:55 CET 15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure I will try my best in the next one. Let's see. It is a tricky stage, I do not know... I will try.
08. 06. 2025 14:55 CET 15 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): The grip is hugely more. We enjoy it, we are still improving. It is fun and nice.
08. 06. 2025 14:54 CET 15 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We will try. There should be more cars in front of us in the powerstage. I think we will have a good line, we will try hard. Let's see. Rally is not over yet, we have seen a lot happening in the last stage here in the past. We still hope for some points this weekend.
08. 06. 2025 14:54 CET 15 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We were saving the tyres for the powerstage. I was very very careful with the tyres. I also had half a spin. We will see.
08. 06. 2025 14:54 CET 15 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I had a spin in a quite narrow hairpin. It was difficult to reverse. I lost a lot of time there.
08. 06. 2025 14:53 CET 15 (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): spun
08. 06. 2025 14:53 CET 15 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is good. Still in the narrow road there are smaller tracks which are difficult to nail. It is not such a bad thing if you improve. This last stage was really hard. Into service and one more to go, it all looks good.
08. 06. 2025 14:34 CET 14 (38 - Domínguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio): damaged suspension
08. 06. 2025 14:32 CET 14 retired (40 - Rumeau Sarah / Amblard Julie): retired after SS 14

08. 06. 2025 14:28 CET 14 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): Not great, we tried some setting and were stuck behind Dominguez for two kilometers.
08. 06. 2025 14:28 CET 14 flash info (36 - Sarrazin Pablo / Roche Yannick): Unfortunately we had a problem with the brakes this morning, but this one was ok. It's amazing to be on this rally, I learned a lot.
08. 06. 2025 14:28 CET 14 flash info (24 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): Very difficult Sunday, there is very low grip. It is hard to be as effective as possible, not so easy.
08. 06. 2025 14:27 CET 14 retired (34 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): accident in SS 14
08. 06. 2025 14:26 CET 14 flash info (37 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): Today it has been really good. New stages for everyone so it is equal. This one maybe not so good.
08. 06. 2025 14:26 CET 14 flash info (44 - Virves Robert / Viilo Jakko): It is OK now. Like the whole rally, probably not so interesting to watch us but it is our job this time.
08. 06. 2025 14:26 CET 14 flash info (27 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): It’s ok, we had a moment, we risked a bit, we need to keep the focus and try to do it.
08. 06. 2025 14:26 CET 14 flash info (43 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): We did a big mistake at the beginning, we missed a braking point, hit the wall and stalled the engine. We lost a lot of time in this junction. Really difficult Sunday. The last two corner, it is so difficult to find the line. Yeah it is a proper Sunday.
08. 06. 2025 14:25 CET 14 (43 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): was out of road
08. 06. 2025 14:25 CET 14 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It is extremely slippery, it is just crazy but really cool stage. Up and down, technical, it is quite fun but really really difficult.
08. 06. 2025 14:24 CET 14 flash info (29 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Not easy, really slippery. I tried to be really precise, but sometimes you are touching the side walls. No drama I tried to be clean but it is not easy.
08. 06. 2025 14:24 CET 14 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): In the last hairpin over a crest I was on the side of the road, it was very slow but I was on the wrong line. All good.
08. 06. 2025 14:24 CET 14 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): All OK for me, a clean stage.
08. 06. 2025 14:24 CET 14 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Quite OK. Really low grip. Really difficult conditions, in this twisty part it feels you are not going anywhere. You do not have grip in the narrow. Our tyre game is not the best at the moment. We still need to survive the long one. We will see.
08. 06. 2025 14:23 CET 14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Hopefully there will be more grip than there was in there. I did not feel good at all. I guess a lot of it is just the grip. Very difficult to find the pushing rhythm.
08. 06. 2025 14:23 CET 14 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I was playing it safe. Should not have been too bad. We will check again on the road and we will see. I did not change so much, but the car is not quite perfect.
08. 06. 2025 14:23 CET 14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I just stalled. Everything OK, I just stalled. I have no idea why.
08. 06. 2025 14:22 CET 14 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): stalled engine
08. 06. 2025 14:22 CET 14 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): It is really fun. Jumping all the time, turning all the time. There are 1000 corners in this stage. It is enjoyable, you don't have to push too much and be gentle with the throttle. It is good training.
08. 06. 2025 14:22 CET 14 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Everything worked to be honest. I do not know if it got more loose or something. We had a good stage and the same rhythm always.
08. 06. 2025 14:21 CET 14 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): There is no grip. It is really sandy at the same time, quite narrow and there are rocks everywhere. A little bit of hanging dust at the beginning, but after it was clean.
08. 06. 2025 14:21 CET 14 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It is just so loose, the car is never stopping to slide. We hit a small stone, nothing major just a loose stone.
08. 06. 2025 14:21 CET 14 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): One of the slowest of the rally. Proper technical, a lot of sharp corners. High grip, but it gets quite tricky towards the end, it is a typical Sardinia powerstage.
08. 06. 2025 14:20 CET 13 retired (71 - Marrone Francesco / Fresu Francesco): retired after SS 13
08. 06. 2025 14:19 CET 13 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Good, clean stage for us. Demanding one, very technical, very narrow. I fought a lot with the hairpins in some places but I am happy with that.
08. 06. 2025 14:18 CET 13 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The stage went OK. Every morning it is like I am driving the car for the first time in my life. It is a bit demanding. Let's see, I will try to improve. The dust was not so nice.
08. 06. 2025 14:18 CET 13 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Quite horrible to be honest. So tricky. I do not know what the other guys are doing. You can drive 1 minute faster on this stage, I was so bad. But luckily at least I was faster than them.
08. 06. 2025 14:18 CET 13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Yeah. Really quite bad. I lost quite a bit in the dust behind Pajari.
08. 06. 2025 14:17 CET 13 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): We spun and I hit something. I need to check what happened. I do not know, let's see.
08. 06. 2025 14:17 CET 13 (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): spun
08. 06. 2025 14:17 CET 13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The dust is bad. I could not see in a few places. I do not know but I had to be careful because it is very narrow. You cannot trust everything in the corner and it is very difficult. I do not know if it is the same for everybody or not but for me it was really really bad.
08. 06. 2025 14:17 CET 13 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): Demanding, terribly demanding. The beginning is so technical, it is an early wake up. Then the end it is nice. We enjoyed it.
08. 06. 2025 14:16 CET 13 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Terrible. I had a good stage, but it is cleaning so much in there. I expect the fastest to go 20-25s faster. Not much I can do. I do not know about the dust but I know Taka is on a 4 minutes [gap] so he might have an advantage towards the end of the stage. This is the only thing we can play for this weekend, so we have to try.
08. 06. 2025 14:16 CET 13 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): On the last part of the stage we had a lot of hanging dust and we did not see anything, it is very narrow and I did not take any risks. I have to say thanks to the team, all the mechanics, because they fixed the car yesterday and did an amazing job. Thanks to them.
08. 06. 2025 14:16 CET 13 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Not much to look at today, just carrying through. Trying things out. In the dust I could not see 30m in front so big time lost.
08. 06. 2025 14:16 CET 13 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Honestly there are so many tight corners going uphill and you are waiting all the time to get traction. It is a nice surprise because I tried to drive clean. This is a super tricky stage. It would be very cool to be on board with Ogier coming in there.
07. 06. 2025 20:58 CET 12 retired (63 - Kazaz Kerem / Silvestre Corentin): retired in SS 12
07. 06. 2025 20:58 CET 12 retired (49 - Schwarz Fabio / Ettel Bernhard): accident in SS 12
07. 06. 2025 20:57 CET 12 flash info (34 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): We might have a small issue. Water pressure alarm, but shouldn't be anything dramatic.
07. 06. 2025 20:56 CET 12 flash info (29 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I think the house where you are filming the cars, I think I touched it there. It was quite scary with the jumps, difficult to drive. We managed this for tomorrow.
07. 06. 2025 20:56 CET 12 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Easy. All under control. No, it's been a long day, the afternoon was rough. It has been good race management.
07. 06. 2025 20:56 CET 12 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): For me it's difficult in the car, especially in the narrow part. Especially if its front wheel drive there is no chance for me.
07. 06. 2025 20:56 CET 12 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): There was not really a rush before the last stage, now even less. Just tried to go through the stage.
07. 06. 2025 20:55 CET 12 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Lots of big ruts, really really rough conditions. Nothing crazy, I just wanted to finish the day without any issues.
07. 06. 2025 20:55 CET 12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It wasn't great, I struggled a bit on the downhill. But all ok, no issue.
07. 06. 2025 20:55 CET 12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): That was horrible. We don't have a dakar car, so I don't know why we are driving that section. But it's ok. I am not really happy with the previous puncture, but otherwise pretty ok.
07. 06. 2025 20:54 CET 12 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): It's so rough now, plenty of stones, a lot of compressions ad jumps. To finish the day, it's beautiful.
07. 06. 2025 20:54 CET 12 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): was out of road
07. 06. 2025 20:54 CET 12 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was good to do the whole day of driving, but I doNät know whats possible tomorrow. Anyrhing can still happen.
07. 06. 2025 20:54 CET 12 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): At the end the brakes are there, you just have to pump it four times for them to be there. This time is just towards the end of the stage in the narrow downhill.
07. 06. 2025 20:54 CET 12 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Just about wide enough for a Rally1 car to get down this road. Nice to get thorugh the day. It was our first time cleaning the road, so a lot of experience to get from here. Look forward to Greece and the first stage of this rally.
07. 06. 2025 20:57 CET 11 retired (64 - Pellerey Tom / Faucher Hervé): retired after SS 11
07. 06. 2025 18:45 CET 11 retired (70 - Biancu Davide / Mazzone Giovanni): accident in SS 11
07. 06. 2025 18:45 CET 11 (71 - Marrone Francesco / Fresu Francesco): was out of road
07. 06. 2025 18:44 CET 11 (26 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): puncture
07. 06. 2025 18:28 CET 11 flash info (34 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): It was maybe 10km in, it started cutting out the voice and she disappeared completely. She has a strong voice, but not strong enough over the gravel... we swapped intercom mid stage but still there were some distortions.
07. 06. 2025 18:28 CET 11 flash info (27 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): Terrible. I do not know what changed from the first pass. It is not rhythmical... we need to check the tyres, it is so demanding for the tyres. There are too many stones.
07. 06. 2025 18:27 CET 11 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was a good stage. We lost some time again with Adrian blocking the road, probably we will have a similar time like Ott.
07. 06. 2025 18:27 CET 11 retired (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): accident in SS 11
07. 06. 2025 18:27 CET 11 (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): rolled
07. 06. 2025 18:27 CET 11 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): For me it was clean. I was very clean and had no trouble. Quite a sketchy moment with Pajari, after a fast corner ... the only thing to hit for me were the rocks. We have a system to warn us, but nothing came up... no marshals no warning.
07. 06. 2025 18:26 CET 11 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I hit some rocks in the line. I tried to drive it to the finish, but it started to do a bad noise. So I needed to change the wheel and lost quite a lot. Let's see.
07. 06. 2025 18:26 CET 11 (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): puncture
07. 06. 2025 18:26 CET 11 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Super super rough. I just tried to keep a good pace but trying to avoid all the rough parts. So many surprises.. it is very rough.
07. 06. 2025 18:26 CET 11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): There was an exposed rock, in the tarmac section I tried to go around it. Probably I made it worse trying to go around it, it is like that.
07. 06. 2025 18:25 CET 11 (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): puncture
07. 06. 2025 18:25 CET 11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I got a puncture in the previous stage. Just trying to find a good feeling with the car. At the moment I feel quite good confidence and the car is working well. I am trying to fine tune to get even better confidence for tomorrow. It will be very very rough.
07. 06. 2025 18:24 CET 11 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): It was rough. Much more rough. Still enjoyable, unfortunately we do not have the handbrake. We lost a lot of time we almost stalled two times. But it enjoyable.
07. 06. 2025 18:24 CET 11 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We will see for tomorrow. If we do not get a better road position I do not think there are possibilities for good points tomorrow. We are here now to try, there is not much more to take from the weekend, only a few points tomorrow... will go for it.
07. 06. 2025 18:24 CET 11 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Josh is opening the road, so for sure it is not easy for him. We are trying things out for Greece. It is very specific, for sure not suiting here. It is the only thing we have to do today. It is good to be in front.
07. 06. 2025 18:23 CET 11 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Compared to the first pass there were big ruts now. It is so warm in here.
07. 06. 2025 18:31 CET 10 retired (28 - Rossel Léo / Mercoiret Guillaume): broken radiator after SS 10
07. 06. 2025 18:30 CET 10 (28 - Rossel Léo / Mercoiret Guillaume): was out of road
07. 06. 2025 18:29 CET 10 retired (74 - Corda Antonio / Frau Massimiliano): accident in SS 10
07. 06. 2025 17:00 CET 10 flash info (34 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): A clean run. No big drama. We tried to keep an OK pace and see where we are in the afternoon. We just keep on driving and enjoying it, just like in the morning and yesterday. We just have to keep doing the same job and bring the car home.
07. 06. 2025 17:00 CET 10 flash info (29 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Quite nice, we changed the car a little bit. I had to adapt in the first kms, but no problem at all. I was struggling a bit in the last part where it is more sandy. The rest was good.
07. 06. 2025 17:00 CET 10 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Good run, very clean. Very very hot.
07. 06. 2025 16:59 CET 10 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was an interesting stage, definitely cleaner than this morning. But a lot of rocks and bedrocks so it was easy to get a puncture. I got through quite comfortable I would say.
07. 06. 2025 16:59 CET 10 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The grip is super low with the hot tyres. Very challenging and a lot of stones. Not sure of the reliability, so I had to really take care of the tyres. I tried my best to drive around the stones.
07. 06. 2025 16:59 CET 10 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Not too bad. Quite similar feeling or let's say much cleaner feeling than in the morning. We are trying to be safe and sound.
07. 06. 2025 16:59 CET 10 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was OK. I made a mistake on the narrow part, going a bit wide. I lost 3-4s there, but otherwise nothing dramatic. I am trying to keep everything in one piece and it is going OK.
07. 06. 2025 16:58 CET 10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): A bit of dust from Taka, it was not too bad to be fair. Not the end of the world. Quite rough, quite a few surprises... not ideal.
07. 06. 2025 16:58 CET 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I got a puncture and I changed the tyre on the stage.
07. 06. 2025 16:58 CET 10 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): puncture
07. 06. 2025 16:57 CET 10 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): It is a nice stage, but we lost the handbrake again so it is a bit difficult. We were quite good, but we lost a lot of time due to the handbrake failure.
07. 06. 2025 16:57 CET 10 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Car wise I do not know, but physically is very demanding. We had to do the last part with the heater on. I never experienced something like that. Ott is gonna like it, it is quite rough in there... it's exactly what he needs to be faster than anybody else. The humidity from the watersplash is coming in the windscreen and without heating we would immediately get some fog.
07. 06. 2025 16:57 CET 10 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Brakes are still hot but better than this morning.
07. 06. 2025 16:57 CET 10 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is different than in the morning for sure. We tried something in the service. I did not know what to expect, it is a big change. It has worked in some places. No big moments.

07. 06. 2025 16:54 CET 9 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Had a bit of dust in the end, but it's ok. Very slippy, didn't have the best tyres for this one. Super rough, but clean enough.
07. 06. 2025 16:53 CET 9 flash info (43 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): We had a mistake in the pacenotes and hit some barrier and broke the radiator. So let's see if we can fix it.
07. 06. 2025 16:53 CET 9 flash info (34 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): This one has always been tricky, there is always the possibility for issues here.
07. 06. 2025 16:53 CET 9 flash info (29 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I think it's a little bit worse with this car than in Rally1. This middle part with the crests, all the time you are just going bam bam bam. But the last part downhill, for me is more difficult because it is so narrow.
07. 06. 2025 16:53 CET 9 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Back to normal. We tried to stay cool.
07. 06. 2025 16:53 CET 9 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We have a lot of dust coming to the inside and I was distracted, then I made a mistake.
07. 06. 2025 16:52 CET 9 (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): was out of road
07. 06. 2025 16:52 CET 9 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Five kilometers before the end it started, we tried to keep it on the rim.
07. 06. 2025 16:52 CET 9 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): puncture
07. 06. 2025 16:52 CET 9 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Just one braking I was on the loose, so the backend hit some tree, but at the point we hit something we were almost stopped. Wasn't too big of a drama for me, but shouldn't hit something I guess.
07. 06. 2025 16:51 CET 9 (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): was out of road
07. 06. 2025 16:51 CET 9 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Not nice. I felt no grip the whole stage, really slippery. And also in the beginning in the fast jumps we hit something. After that I heard some noise in the car and I was a bit too careful after that. Lucky we are here, rough loop.
07. 06. 2025 16:51 CET 9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's a very very rough stage and we took it very easy to make sure to save the car. Horrible all the way through.
07. 06. 2025 16:50 CET 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Physically ok, just quite slippy in places and strange ruts. Really had to trust the ruts, it's quite a tricky stage.
07. 06. 2025 16:50 CET 9 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): Quite good, enjoying. Lot of jumps. We know this stage a little bit better than the other ones. Previous one was difficult with the brakes, but in this one I kept them.
07. 06. 2025 16:50 CET 9 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Very loose, so really slippery. But no problems for us.
07. 06. 2025 16:50 CET 9 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): No brakes, no front end. Rear is going already to Greece. We have a service now, we will try some things. It's just the cooling package.
07. 06. 2025 16:49 CET 9 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): You feel your feet burning towards the end, so not so nice. Some kicks and bumps, but it's like threading the needle through the last bit.

07. 06. 2025 12:57 CET 8 retired (54 - Soylu Uğur / Güray Şener): accident in SS 8
07. 06. 2025 12:43 CET 8 retired (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): technical problem - steering arm after SS 8
07. 06. 2025 12:08 CET 8 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): In the previous stage I did not have handbrake and sometimes I had front wheel drive. I lost some time. The car is not as good as yesterday, I am crushing through more than yesterday. The balance is not great. At least here the handbrake is working, and could drive normally. We just sent it through recalibration it and it is OK now.
07. 06. 2025 12:08 CET 8 flash info (43 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): It is such a nice island, nice weather. The stages are just brilliant. So difficult and that is what I like. This stage I did many times, but it still surprises you. I enjoyed that.
07. 06. 2025 12:08 CET 8 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): Just too fast on a slow corner and I hit a tree. I do not know how much time I lost. I tried to fight but now it is over.
07. 06. 2025 12:08 CET 8 (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): puncture
07. 06. 2025 12:07 CET 8 flash info (34 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): I was struggling with the rear end grip, sliding a lot out of the line. Not the best stage. We keep going and focus on our task.
07. 06. 2025 12:07 CET 8 flash info (29 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It feels nice to be honest. Difficult stage, but I tried to be clean. There is a tyre strategy and other things. But I try to enjoy myself and enjoy driving. I do not care about the time. For the moment it is feeling good.
07. 06. 2025 12:07 CET 8 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): How long have I been in Adrian's dust? I cannot judge. It is OK, I am sure I will have this time back.
07. 06. 2025 12:07 CET 8 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We just had a puncture. That is it. On the inside I hit something, it was in the line and I did not see anything. It was not in the notes. That is quite frustrating.
07. 06. 2025 12:06 CET 8 (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): puncture
07. 06. 2025 12:06 CET 8 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I had a good stage, definitely better rhythm than on the previous one. No dramas for us.
07. 06. 2025 12:06 CET 8 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Quite nice stage I must stage. I was not pushing. I do not know if I should, I guess not really. The feeling is like this, I would like to be a bit quicker. They are pushing so hard, to compare to them is not so easy.
07. 06. 2025 12:05 CET 8 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We want to continue driving and continue to work a bit on the car. We try to be at the end of today, but still need to be comfortable in the car for tomorrow.
07. 06. 2025 12:04 CET 8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): No issues with the brakes. I was saving the tyres for Sunday. Not ideal tyre choice for this stage but the feeling is good. I am just trying to find a good feeling and some good setup for Sunday. That is the only thing I can do today. Just keep going.
07. 06. 2025 12:04 CET 8 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): I lost the brakes 10km before the end of the stage. The last part was slow. I still enjoyed, the last part I liked very much but I could not [go faster] because I did not have any brakes.
07. 06. 2025 12:04 CET 8 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): You can try a few things. We are currently using hards in the front and softs in the rear. Trying different settings. I am not sure we are gonna learn much for the upcoming events. Not much to learn, but it is good to see car fixed again, the guys did a good job and the car is ready for tomorrow.
07. 06. 2025 12:04 CET 8 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): A lot of cleaning, no brakes. That is it.
07. 06. 2025 12:03 CET 8 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): A lot of things. Driving is the most important thing. I said in the last stage that I do not want to talk about cleaning but I have a new appreciation for the champions that win championships doing that. There is a lot to learn from driving like that.
07. 06. 2015 12:05 CET 8 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): The changes? A few things combined which made it work. This one is not an easy stage and I think it will clean a lot. I was wide in the beginning on every corner. There was no grip at all and no line for us. The guys behind will be much faster but we are doing what we can.

07. 06. 2025 11:11 CET 7 flash info (34 - Lindholm Emil / Hämäläinen Reeta): Quite OK, it is definitely more slippery than yesterday in the first pass. More slippery and sliding, but I like that.
07. 06. 2025 11:11 CET 7 flash info (29 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I never regret what I did (not taking points). The stage is nice, a lot of bumps and jumps. Quite fun but it is not easy to keep the rhythm. But it is OK.
07. 06. 2025 11:10 CET 7 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Rougher than expected already. Not a big push but a clean stage. Not a big push? Am I scaring my rivals? I do not know. I was faster? Ah OK, we take it.
07. 06. 2025 11:10 CET 7 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I am not really happy with my driving to be fair. That was really good in some places. I had a few moments, where I said come on the grip is lower. But it is all OK.
07. 06. 2025 11:09 CET 7 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It started quite OK, but we had some trouble with communication between myself and co-driver in the middle of the stage and it was a bit tricky with the rhythm. It was an OK stage.
07. 06. 2025 11:09 CET 7 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I was expecting quite a big push from Kalle but also from the top 3 guys. It was not so bad, but I was not really pushing. We are on the safe side. OK. I would like to do a step better, but it is not too bad.
07. 06. 2025 11:08 CET 7 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was OK. Definitely a better feeling today in the car with the setup and the starting place. We try to be fast and see what we can do. What changes did I made? Secret ones!
07. 06. 2025 11:08 CET 7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was OK. Not the best run. It is quite soft and difficult to always be right everywhere. But clean enough. In the end no, but in middle there were bad bumps.
07. 06. 2025 11:08 CET 7 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Such a bad bump, in the last years it was not that bad but now it is crazy. I was completely flying and landed on the road. Big surprise and hopefully nothing happens to my teammates on that crest.
07. 06. 2025 11:07 CET 7 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): We enjoyed it a lot. We changed some setup in the car and it is much easier to drive so we can push the car a bit more. The day started better than yesterday.
07. 06. 2025 11:07 CET 7 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is all OK. It is always difficult after such a disappointment like yesterday. We were really unlucky. We compared the data, we had a similar speed... It is normally a flat corner. Something went wrong. We missed the line by 15cm and it took off the wheel. It is what it is. The team fixed the car. We know what to do tomorrow and hope for a better position tomorrow and we will give it a push.
07. 06. 2025 11:07 CET 7 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Going through. I do not have bite on the front. Hesitate on the brakes and overheating.
07. 06. 2025 11:07 CET 7 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is quite OK. I do not want to be complaining about cleaning the road all day. It is a big pleasure to be back on the road. The team did a great job last night. The rear left corner was completely gone. Big kudos to them. Let's enjoy the day. It is sweeping but all good experience.

06. 06. 2025 21:39 CET 6 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): The feeling in the car is good. I was just trying to find the rhythm after what happened this morning. Everything is working well from both of us now. So I am very very happy, and the car is working well. Maybe I did not have the perfect tyres all the time, but at least in here I think the tyre package was OK.
06. 06. 2025 21:39 CET 6 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It is just the same story, when you are on the gravel and the car ahead has a problem. Nothing special.
06. 06. 2025 21:38 CET 6 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): Everything seems to be faster without the windscreen. We survived so it is OK. It was quite difficult for us and for M-Sport, but still we are here so it is not so bad.
06. 06. 2025 21:38 CET 6 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I think it has been quite a decent day. Over 120km, 16s is not too bad, I must say. Tricky stages. Slippery in many places. No mistakes, not many issues, so it's good.
06. 06. 2025 21:38 CET 6 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was a really messy stage, I did not have enough grip. It was not good. The car was not absorbing the road, I had a lot of harshness and was loosing a lot of grip and traction. I tried, I had a clean stage but that's it.
06. 06. 2025 21:37 CET 6 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): damaged car after roll on previous stage
06. 06. 2025 21:37 CET 6 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We found out that at the end of the last one we broke the damper, but all OK.
06. 06. 2025 21:37 CET 6 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): damaged damper
06. 06. 2025 21:37 CET 6 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It has been a good day for sure. I have done everything I could today so I am happy with that. The stage where all this happened was very super, narrow and super-fast. It is a surprise to see that many [errors] but it is happening quite easily there.
06. 06. 2025 21:36 CET 6 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was a big difference this afternoon. I am feeling better with the setup of the car. The conditions were also better, we did everything we could today even if it is not my favourite event. Tried the best all the time, that was the maximum for today.
06. 06. 2025 21:36 CET 6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It has not felt so patient behind the wheel. It is just how it is here. We knew what we were in for. We go again tomorrow. We hope in a better day.
06. 06. 2025 18:17 CET 5 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): The whole rally has been super-tricky and super-difficult. I tried to have a bit more rear feeling. I do my best in driving fast. An OK run. Nice stage. My back is still a bit tight.
06. 06. 2025 18:17 CET 5 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I saw nothing in the dust behind Serderidis. It is so dangerous, at 10km I stopped immediately because it was so dusty. It was impossible to see the road.
06. 06. 2025 18:17 CET 5 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): We just made a stupid thing in the hairpin. No precision. We will see.
06. 06. 2025 18:16 CET 5 (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): rolled, continue
06. 06. 2025 18:16 CET 5 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is still the most demanding stage. You really need the full confidence if you want to push there. I was doing so-so, I was too careful in the last section I guess. That was my feeling. We are really safe through. So high speed and so narrow, you really need to go for it.
06. 06. 2025 18:16 CET 5 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): This stage is crazy. So many things happened this morning and also now. I am really sorry for Thierry and for the team. We need to continue with two cars now. One more stage to survive, big fight with Ott now? I will meet Ott in the road section and we will discuss.
06. 06. 2025 18:15 CET 5 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): rolled, continue
06. 06. 2025 18:15 CET 5 retired (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): broken wheel in SS 5
06. 06. 2025 18:15 CET 5 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I do not know what happened. Quite early in the stage I lost control of the car and I was really fighting with the car for all the stage. I do not know what is wrong but it is like it is snapped. Very strange. Really happy for the next one.
06. 06. 2025 18:14 CET 5 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Not a stage to take too many risks? I do not know, at least some guys lost a lot of time this morning, lost the rally or lost the car. We lost too much this morning but that is what it is.
06. 06. 2025 18:14 CET 5 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): This afternoon it is just a better car setup. When we finally have some ideas on what to do. The road condition is more equal, so we can try and do something. It is not great, but I do my best all the time. I tried.
06. 06. 2025 18:13 CET 5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Tricky again, like very loose in the mid part but all OK. And will it be slightly better tomorrow? I have not thought that far, I will think about that later.

06. 06. 2025 16:43 CET 4 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Most guys have one spare, I have two spares. It was OK. Much more grip than expected. It is the first time trying the car on these types of roads but the feeling is quite good. After this morning I was trying to get a bit into it.
06. 06. 2025 16:43 CET 4 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): We did not help much Gregoire because the dumper was broken. Now we have a completely different setup and we can drive. I am enjoying it much more.
06. 06. 2025 16:43 CET 4 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Not so bad again. It is a quite nice stage. I was enjoying it, but there is room to improve. In some parts you feel you have the grip and then you have not. Still a bit of the same feeling.
06. 06. 2025 16:42 CET 4 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I made two small mistakes where I lost some time in the long straights after. It is a shame but it is part of rallying. It is OK. If you lift on the exit, it is a small mistake but you lose a lot after.
06. 06. 2025 16:42 CET 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Better grip, it is a bit easier to follow the lines. This stage did not suit me, but it should be better in the next one.
06. 06. 2025 16:42 CET 4 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Quite a bit of a change. I had not a good start to be honest, and did not feel comfortable. I changed a bit the car and it took time to get used to it. I was struggling quite a bit. I found a better balance and better feeling towards the end of the stage.
06. 06. 2025 16:42 CET 4 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The grip is completely different, at the beginning of the stage it is quite OK but then you start to get some surprises with the hard tyres. It is not so forgiving, quite interesting moments.
06. 06. 2025 16:41 CET 4 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Not so easy to use the grip because the lines are small. It was an OK stage for us.
06. 06. 2025 16:41 CET 4 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We tried new things on the car. It seems to work a bit better. The condition is better in the second pass. It is a bit nicer when we are not cleaning that much.
06. 06. 2025 16:41 CET 4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Definitely improved from this morning, much harder base but it is still quite slippery. The rear is sliding quite a bit in places. A bit of an inconsistent stage I felt, but it is OK.

06. 06. 2025 13:01 CET 3 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): Worst stage of the loop. Massive cleaning. We're not enjoying.
06. 06. 2025 12:59 CET 3 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): Not good for M-Sport. Okay, the car is difficult to drive. A lot of slippery parts, we don't have the front and no rear. It's a lot, but we'll try to survive.
06. 06. 2025 12:57 CET 3 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Just hit some stone, quite usual. Nothing special. Quite lose to the end.
06. 06. 2025 12:57 CET 3 (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): puncture
06. 06. 2025 12:56 CET 3 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Everything is going well. I really tried to use the line, I was really clean and tidy not to be in the loose and stayed off. Pleased with that. I lost a bit in the first part, but at the end we were just managing the tyres.
06. 06. 2025 12:56 CET 3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): A bit missing the feeling. Not what I wanted, but better than the last stages. Not happy at all with my driving, could be much better. Need to find something to be better, but safer.
06. 06. 2025 12:56 CET 3 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): That was the gamble. I think we learned something for sure. I had an okay stage, good rhythm. Tried to keep it through the stage. Slippery in there, but a good run. It was a gamble this morning, but I went for it and I have to try it in the last stage as well. I'm satisfied.
06. 06. 2025 12:56 CET 3 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Just incredible struggling in the car for me, no flow at all.
06. 06. 2025 12:55 CET 3 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Not so big grip, expect cars to be quicker behind. It means we have a good choice, we don't have a good start position.
06. 06. 2025 12:55 CET 3 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Difficult to get the right balance. Normally the softs are not working in the front either, so nothing is really working at the moment.
06. 06. 2025 12:55 CET 3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We expected this one to be one of the worst for cleaning after the recce. A bit of movement, but there was very little grip. Let's see, time will tell.
06. 06. 2025 12:54 CET 3 Start of stage will be delayed for 4 minutes.
06. 06. 2025 12:53 CET 2 retired (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): damaged suspension after SS 2

06. 06. 2025 12:51 CET 2 retired (47 - Kogure Hikaru / Luhtinen Topi): retired in SS 2

06. 06. 2025 12:50 CET 2 retired (26 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): broken wheel in SS 2
06. 06. 2025 12:49 CET 2 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Bad luck there. We overshot in a right corner. That I do not know. Not maybe full power, I have a bit of pain in my back so I took it a bit easier.
06. 06. 2025 12:49 CET 2 (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): was out of road, hit the wall
06. 06. 2025 12:48 CET 2 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It was OK except for the cleaning run. I am not a professional driver, but the road cleaning is bad.
06. 06. 2025 12:48 CET 2 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): For me it was OK, but I saw two cars out... are they OK? There was more grip in this one, so it was OK for us. We enjoyed that one.
06. 06. 2025 12:48 CET 2 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Really tricky on the high speed sections. Somehow no confidence there, just tried to be clean and go through. Clearly couldn't push much more.
06. 06. 2025 12:47 CET 2 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I mean one time I hit a bump, but I expected no damage. The grip was quite low to be fair, it was quite demanding. New part has some dust, but not too disturbing.
06. 06. 2025 12:47 CET 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I don't know, feels like i'm struggling. Faster, but still struggling. I need to find something better.
06. 06. 2025 12:47 CET 2 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Suddenly the engine stalled, I don't know why, so I had to restart, lost about 3-4 seconds, no reason for that. 2-3km before the finish.
06. 06. 2025 12:46 CET 2 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I was definitely pushing and it was far from normal. I'm not enjoying in the car at the moment, it's not the first time.
06. 06. 2025 12:45 CET 2 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's difficult, very narrow and very low grip.
06. 06. 2025 12:38 CET 2 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's really narrow most of the stage with lots of loose gravel. I don't have the needed confidence at the moment and the car is not doing what I would like it to do.
06. 06. 2025 12:37 CET 2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I think the next one is obviously the key one, but let's see.
06. 06. 2025 12:36 CET 2 retired (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): accident in SS 2
06. 06. 2025 12:36 CET 2 retired (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): broken wheel in SS 2
06. 06. 2025 12:35 CET 2 (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): broken wheel, continue
06. 06. 2025 12:34 CET 2 Start of stage was delayed for 4 minutes.
06. 06. 2025 12:34 CET 1 flash info (26 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): Not good at all, really slippy. Difficult to find the line, the car is sliding a lot.
06. 06. 2025 12:33 CET 1 flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): With the hard tyre it was really slippery, didn't give me any confidence. Hopefully works on the whole loop. So narrow and when pushing the rear end slides a bit. Just learning how it works when it's so technical.
06. 06. 2025 12:33 CET 1 flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It's never easy. I tried to push, but not like crazy, just normal. Clean run for me.
06. 06. 2025 12:33 CET 1 flash info (9 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): I lost the rear all the time, no confidence. When we stop it's really hot, during the stage it's okay.
06. 06. 2025 12:33 CET 1 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): That's the thing, of course I could drop a lot more, but the plan was to get through, check if everything is right. Let's see about the temperatures and the tyre wear.
06. 06. 2025 12:32 CET 1 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It was okay. I don't think I took much out of the road, It cleaned a lot, I saw Ogier's time before the stage and do that third on the road is incredible. Still a lot more to go.
06. 06. 2025 12:32 CET 1 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I like this stage, but I struggle to keep it in the line. Near the end was better. Let's see in the third, most abrasive stage.
06. 06. 2025 12:32 CET 1 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Quite okay I must say. Still not so easy to find the perfect flow, some places the grip was okay and then suddenly not. Trying to be really clean.
06. 06. 2025 12:32 CET 1 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was okay. Was not taking much risks and staying in the line. Gonna be a really long rally. Forget the past, I go ahead.
06. 06. 2025 12:31 CET 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I don't know, struggling with the grip. I don't know why, it's not good. Let's see.
06. 06. 2025 12:31 CET 1 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I'm surprised to be honest. Didn't feel that good, but if it's that.. there's more to come from us. Usually I take it a bit more steady in the first stages to learn and feel the car. It seems to work. There's cleaning, but not as much as we expected.
06. 06. 2025 12:31 CET 1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Everything is good, yeah. Normally it should clean, but how quickly - let's see.
06. 06. 2025 12:31 CET 1 flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's gonna get quicker, but was a good stage for me. I was on the limit of the grip. The key is to do as much as you can, i've been first on the road for many years and i'm used to the low grip. Being smooth, carrying maximum speed in the corners.
06. 06. 2025 12:30 CET 1 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Not too good. Quite a steady run, just lacking a bit of commitment.
06. 06. 2025 12:30 CET 1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was pretty loose as to be expected. All ok, no issue. The stages are all quite different today so let's see.
06. 06. 2025 09:29 CET 1 Weather on Sardegna is hot, roads are dry and full of dust.
