Information de la ES 7
flash info (23 - Lindholm Emil / Morales Gabriel): That is better than fifth or sixth or seventh fastest. Not the best it was tricky in there. With the sun coming up it is difficult to read the road. Let's try to improve for the afternoon.
flash info (24 - Domínguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio): On the fast sections I was too slow and on the slow sections I was too fast. Thankfully we are here. Happy.
flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): It was a good morning wake up call. In the narrow an twisty places I had some understeer but the time is not bad. I think it is a good start.
flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): It was quite difficult the first time with pacenotes. It was not the best feeling and I could go a loot faster. It was clean otherwise. Looking at the time, it is not too bad.
flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I tried for sure to improve from yesterday but I hit the wheels in one corner massively. Now in the flat out corners the vibration is so high and I lose the power steering. I need to be brave to trust it. This one was scary.
flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): We're fighting a lot with understeer here in all the places. I don't know, the setup was not quite good for this stage.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not amazing. Not the best feeling with the front end here, let's see if we can find some changes. Not a lot of options.
flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): First time doing this stage and I missed one junction a bit and lost a second at least. This car - compared to Rally2 - everything comes so quick. Not a perfect stage, but the attack was good.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Oliver is doing well. It is difficult to see with the forest I struggled with the visibility.
flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): If the condition remains dry, I believe it's super tricky to catch the cars in front, which is a shame. But we need to keep some pace. You never know what's gonna happen, and still there are some guys behind me not so far away, so need to keep proper pace.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's the first time I do that stage. I didn't drive here in the whole day actually last year, so I'm a bit discovering. And with the balance I have at the moment, it's nothing I can do, honestly. It's the maximum I can do at the moment.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I had a reset from yesterday. The feeling itself is better. We still have a long way to go so I will keep trying. I will try to my best for the next two days.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I'm feeling okay. It is quite demanding for tyres as always, but I had a good stage. Last year I was able to do the fastest time in there, so let's see what it brings this year. But I'm quite happy with my drive anyway.
flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's obviously another new stage for us now. We made a lot of changes overnight. The car's better, but it's very edgy. It's hard to know what it's going to do, and it's not so predictable, but it's faster, but I just got to get comfortable with it. That's probably the biggest thing.
flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): We done what we could, to be fair. The feeling wasn't great in the twisty parts, and you couldn't really push too much on the faster bits. We're just on the nose all the time. Pretty hard to keep the car off the front, so we'll see if we can maybe make some setup changes for the next one, but it's not so easy, but we're trying our best.
flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): The surface still changes a bit. But yeah, it's nice and warm. I think already the tyres are getting onto the limit, but we seem to have some problem with the handbrake. It wouldn't release properly.
Weather is sunny, roads are dry, temperature is around 31°C.
