31. 05. 2026 22:44 CET 		20 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): What a great weekend. Huge thanks to the team. Amazing car again on tarmac. Points buffer? Not sure. Long way to go and too early to talk about that. We have to just enjoy this one.
01. 06. 2026 05:43
31. 05. 2026 22:43 CET 		20 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I know the reason, but that's the way it is. Didn't manage it this weekend. Not a bad rally either. The gap to Elfyn was made in one stage with the road position. The rest was, even with the struggle, not far away.
01. 06. 2026 05:42
31. 05. 2026 22:42 CET 		20 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Feeling is good, obviously. Nice to be back on the podium. Shame about Portugal, it was going well. Solid days from us this weekend. It's a shame that this was the last tarmac rally with these cars. I hope there are more good things come in the future. Thank you to everyone.
01. 06. 2026 05:42
31. 05. 2026 22:42 CET 		20 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Sorry for the Japanese fans. We are not able to even take a podium. My dream continues. I keep pushing. Thank you to the team for preparing this car on tarmac. Special thanks to the whole Japanese fans. I'll try next year, get a victory for you.
01. 06. 2026 05:42
31. 05. 2026 22:42 CET 		20 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It is the end of a Rally1 on tarmac so that was beautiful stage to finish. There has been some good years with this car. We wanted to finish a bit higher than this. It is joy to drive this car. we had a good stage this was very nice.
01. 06. 2026 05:42
31. 05. 2026 22:42 CET 		20 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): At least we enjoyed that last one. It wasn't perfect in terms of balance and I was fighting the understeer, but I somehow gave it a try. Wanted to have a smile at the end and say that we've done the maximum we had. We couldn't find any improvement this weekend, a real struggle. We're happy to go on gravel and have more chances of great results.
01. 06. 2026 05:41
31. 05. 2026 22:41 CET 		20 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Obviously lucky to have driven this car for three rallies. Big thanks to the team, who've made us feel welcome and helped us. I loved it, even on a surface I don't prefer. Gravel next? Look - who knows. Too early to say. Focus is on finishing this weekend.
01. 06. 2026 05:41
31. 05. 2026 22:41 CET 		20 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It's good to be at the finish. We haven't quite had the pace we had in Croatia, just not been able to get close as that. Still good to drive these cars for the final time on tarmac. The tyre started to go away on the front. Still - fantastic to drive these cars on tarmac. We almost got a stage win in Croatia and I'm sure we can still keep improving. Need to come back stronger now on gravel.
01. 06. 2026 05:41
31. 05. 2026 22:41 CET 		20 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Tricky weekend for us. Coming here for the fans and they're absolutely phenomenal, makes you feel like a superstar. Difficult period for us on tarmac. We've learnt a lot along way and it was a great pleasure to be with Rally1 on tarmac. Looking forward to the gravel events now.
01. 06. 2026 05:41
31. 05. 2026 22:41 CET 		20 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Wasn't clean enough to have the maximum. Let's see. A push it was - that's for sure. I didn't get the tyres to work early enough. Disappointed with the whole weekend. Great to get to Japan with all the fans, a dream come true. Yesterday the feeling was fantastic in the car. We tried our best, it was unfortunately slippy there that we didn't know about. Other than that, we tried our best today.
01. 06. 2026 05:40
31. 05. 2026 22:40 CET 		20 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I was still pushing, I didn't know. Good feeling - finally. When you have the fight from the beginning and something happens then it's calm. But when you have to push every day, it's a different emotion.
01. 06. 2026 05:40
31. 05. 2026 22:40 CET 		20 flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): Just in a stupid corner I put the tyre inside and it snapped. I was lucky not to hit the trees. I was trying, I was pushing. Sorry to the team, sponsors. I tried my maximum. We have to be happy.
01. 06. 2026 05:40
31. 05. 2026 22:40 CET 		20 (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): spun

31. 05. 2026 22:40 CET 		20 flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): I don't know what to say. Very, very happy to finish this rally on the podium. It's something special. Really want to say thank you to the team. This season has been difficult, but they're supporting all the time and working.

31. 05. 2026 22:39 CET 		20 flash info (23 - Lindholm Emil / Morales Gabriel): It was not the weekend we travelled here for.

31. 05. 2026 22:39 CET 		20 flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): I think we have to be satisfied. We showed some pace when things clicked. The consistency here was better.
01. 06. 2026 05:39
31. 05. 2026 22:39 CET 		20 Starting order: Jürgenson, Lindholm, Yamamoto, Cachón, Gryazin, Solberg, McErlean, Armstrong, Paddon, Neuville, Fourmaux, Katsuta, Pajari, Ogier, Evans
01. 06. 2026 05:38
31. 05. 2026 22:38 CET 		19 flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): I tried but somehow the car was really peaky. I had some moments with the rear. It was not ideal.
01. 06. 2026 05:37
31. 05. 2026 22:37 CET 		19 flash info (23 - Lindholm Emil / Morales Gabriel): I'm feeling ok. We are juts enjoying the stages and bringing it through. One more to go. I wouldn't say frustrating but this rally has been like this. We need to carry on and bring the car back.
01. 06. 2026 05:37
31. 05. 2026 22:37 CET 		19 flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): I know what to do. I just need to keep like this and we will see at the end.
01. 06. 2026 05:37
31. 05. 2026 22:37 CET 		19 flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): It feels like a proper push. I'm going to win, I'm completely sure. It will be epic.
01. 06. 2026 05:37
31. 05. 2026 22:37 CET 		19 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Not easy. I had too much understeer. I struggle with the grip on the front.
01. 06. 2026 05:36
31. 05. 2026 22:36 CET 		19 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm feeling alright. It felt pretty ok but maybe missing the last bit of risk. We have to try in the Power Stage.
01. 06. 2026 05:36
31. 05. 2026 22:36 CET 		19 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It is not about road position. It is the story of the weekend, it is the tyres giving up so quickly and I'm not able to be fast anymore.
01. 06. 2026 05:36
31. 05. 2026 22:36 CET 		19 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): We are in a good position for the moment. There is still one more stage to go but it is under control at the moment.
01. 06. 2026 05:36
31. 05. 2026 22:36 CET 		19 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is ok. The second pass is getting worse and worse all the time. It is hard to match Oliver's time.
01. 06. 2026 05:35
31. 05. 2026 22:35 CET 		19 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I'm feeling ok. There is not so much to gain today and I just need to bring the car back.
01. 06. 2026 05:35
31. 05. 2026 22:35 CET 		19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): There is not much to play for other then the Power Stage. W have to give it a try. We are not playing for Sunday points either. The focus is on the Power Stage and it is the last one on tarmac. Hopefully the balance will be ok and I can have a smile.
01. 06. 2026 05:34
31. 05. 2026 22:34 CET 		19 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We are taking it easy through here. Power Stage is the last stage for the Rally1 tarmac car so we will give it the best we can.
01. 06. 2026 05:34
31. 05. 2026 22:34 CET 		19 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It is more familiar and I can keep a good rhythm and know how much to ask of the tyre. It is little bit more tricky when you are on the wider road and with smooth tarmac. I think we are somtimes under driving and sometimes over driving A pretty ok run.
01. 06. 2026 05:34
31. 05. 2026 22:34 CET 		19 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): This one section in the forest which is dirty. It is scattered gravel. It is what it is. One more to go.
01. 06. 2026 05:33
31. 05. 2026 22:33 CET 		19 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Not too much different actually. It was quite similar to my first pass. It wasn't crazy push. I struggled with a bit of understeer, it is not the same feeling in the car as yesterday.
01. 06. 2026 05:31
31. 05. 2026 22:31 CET 		18 flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): We are confident and comfortable with our pace so far. Everything is under control. I'm just doing my job and my concentration is ok.
01. 06. 2026 05:31
31. 05. 2026 22:31 CET 		18 flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): I think yes I can catch Gryazin. The feeling today is quite good. I think this afternoon will be a big battle.
01. 06. 2026 05:31
31. 05. 2026 22:31 CET 		18 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): A lot of fun in this fight. The second pass on the next stage will be the most important part of this race.
01. 06. 2026 05:30
31. 05. 2026 22:30 CET 		18 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm feeling ok. It has been ak morning and we have had no real drama. There is still plenty to go and our work cut out.
01. 06. 2026 05:30
31. 05. 2026 22:30 CET 		18 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): When the stage is 2km long I managed to make the tyre last, I'm good.
01. 06. 2026 05:30
31. 05. 2026 22:30 CET 		18 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It has been a very basic morning. I think the pace isn't too bad but I'm not taking the most big risk. It is all under control.
01. 06. 2026 05:29
31. 05. 2026 22:29 CET 		18 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It has been a nice morning. The stages were very interesting and technical and I was enjoying We have to enjoy this last day of the Rally1 car on tarmac. It is good fun to drive it.
01. 06. 2026 05:29
31. 05. 2026 22:29 CET 		18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Driving-wise it was good but when the grip is low the balance shifts. It is crazy. It is the last day and I'm happy with that.
01. 06. 2026 05:29
31. 05. 2026 22:29 CET 		18 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We went the wrong direction this morning [with the set up] so now we have an opportunity to change. There are limitations with this car. I would rather be trying something and trying to learn something than nothing.
01. 06. 2026 05:29
31. 05. 2026 22:29 CET 		18 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): This one is not too bad, In the first pass I was drifting a bit too maybe. This time I tried to be clean. It is quite a fun stage. We need these to break up the longer stages.
01. 06. 2026 05:28
31. 05. 2026 22:28 CET 		18 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is nice to get the first loop done. This will be the last run of tarmac Rally1s which is a bit of shame but let's try and enjoy it.
01. 06. 2026 05:28
31. 05. 2026 22:28 CET 		18 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was better. The first pass was not perfect but this was a little bit better. The rhythm and the attack is not the same as yesterday, I need to find a little bit more speed this afternoon.
01. 06. 2026 05:15
31. 05. 2026 22:15 CET 		17 retired (34 - Vassilakis Georgios / Harryman Allan): accident in SS 17
01. 06. 2026 05:13
31. 05. 2026 22:13 CET 		16 retired (38 - Tsutsui Katsuhiko / Motohashi Takashi): retired in SS 16
01. 06. 2026 05:12
31. 05. 2026 22:12 CET 		16 flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): Feeling-wise it is not too bad. If we can get rid of some understeer we can go for a good time.
01. 06. 2026 05:12
31. 05. 2026 22:12 CET 		16 flash info (23 - Lindholm Emil / Morales Gabriel): I'm feeling ok. We had a bit of surprise at the beginning with dirt on the road. I was really careful of that.
01. 06. 2026 05:12
31. 05. 2026 22:12 CET 		16 flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): Everything is going to plan. I just try not to take any risk. I think everything is good. The guys in front are pushing like hell for the win.
01. 06. 2026 05:12
31. 05. 2026 22:12 CET 		16 flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): I tried to do my best. Maybe I lost bit of confidence in the fast sections as the car is moving a bit. It is ok, it is only 1.4sec. We have longer stages ahead.
01. 06. 2026 05:11
31. 05. 2026 22:11 CET 		16 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It was not easy. I'm just enjoying the fight.
01. 06. 2026 05:11
31. 05. 2026 22:11 CET 		16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I was bit maybe too safe. I kept too much of a margin in places.
01. 06. 2026 05:10
31. 05. 2026 22:10 CET 		16 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Super Sunday will be difficult but we will try our best to get as many points as we can.
01. 06. 2026 05:10
31. 05. 2026 22:10 CET 		16 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): At least try to have a good flow on the driving. It seems like Taka is super fast today, so we need to manage the gap, but it should be ok.
01. 06. 2026 05:10
31. 05. 2026 22:10 CET 		16 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It didn't go so well this stage. It is ok. We can fix a bit before the Power Stage.
01. 06. 2026 05:09
31. 05. 2026 22:09 CET 		16 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I cannot do much more. I had a very good stage. I'm pleased with my driving. I tried to be very efficient. I can see some guys in front are really pushing. I tried to be tidy.
01. 06. 2026 05:09
31. 05. 2026 22:09 CET 		16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is undriveable. I hoped to enjoy the last day more. There is no speed. It is frustrating, very frustrating.
01. 06. 2026 05:08
31. 05. 2026 22:08 CET 		16 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We can't change everything with the set up change overnight. I have got no grip at all. I'm just skating everywhere I don't feel connected with the road. I'm trying to enjoy it as much as I can.
01. 06. 2026 05:08
31. 05. 2026 22:08 CET 		16 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): In the middle of the stage coming into a medium speed corner the braking was a bit dicey so I tried to shave one of those orange fences. I clipped it a bit. It was a tricky feeling in there. Let's see if we can improve it.
01. 06. 2026 05:08
31. 05. 2026 22:08 CET 		16 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): If it was messy for Solberg it was definitely messy for us. I can't turn the car.
01. 06. 2026 04:34
31. 05. 2026 21:34 CET 		16 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was a horrible feeling. I did a few too many small mistakes. It was not a clean stage.
01. 06. 2026 04:34
31. 05. 2026 21:34 CET 		15 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was a clean enough run. No idea why I was better in the dirty section.
01. 06. 2026 04:34
31. 05. 2026 21:34 CET 		15 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): The Super Sunday points are the same importance as always. Oliver had a good push, we tried to have a decent drive.
01. 06. 2026 04:34
31. 05. 2026 21:34 CET 		15 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is getting quite messy in the narrow sections. I will be surprised if the guys behind will match Solberg. It was not my biggest push but it is ok.
01. 06. 2026 04:33
31. 05. 2026 21:33 CET 		15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure I will try my best. I don't know the road position could be tricky but I will try and I will be on the limit for the Japanese fans.
01. 06. 2026 04:33
31. 05. 2026 21:33 CET 		15 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I just ask Alex if we still have the door but it is ok. It is intresting stage as there are many parts in this stage. It is getting more dirty. I had a good stage. I tried.
01. 06. 2026 04:33
31. 05. 2026 21:33 CET 		15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): No real change. When the grip is high the balance started to be ok, but on the low grip, no chance.
01. 06. 2026 04:32
31. 05. 2026 21:32 CET 		15 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We know Hyundai has a bit of history in this stage so I took it pretty easy. We made set up change for the last day of Rally1 on tarmac but it didn't work. Everyday is a school day.
01. 06. 2026 04:32
31. 05. 2026 21:32 CET 		15 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): Not too bad. I quite enjoyed the narrow bits which is to be expected. The wide bits are more tricky. Finding the apex I'm struggling with. Not too bad. It is kinda where we thought we would be.
01. 06. 2026 04:32
31. 05. 2026 21:32 CET 		15 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Cooler temperatures are helping in the car a bit. This wide road is quite tricky to carry the speed. We will try some things to fix it.
01. 06. 2026 04:31
31. 05. 2026 21:31 CET 		15 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): After yesterday it is a bit tough. We will try to have a good day and see what we can do. The feeling in there wasn't fantastic.
31. 05. 2026 06:42
30. 05. 2026 23:42 CET 		14 flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): It was a solid day. At the end we can be happy. Performance wise it was consistent, also quite comfortable in the car and not taking big risks. We can continue like this tomorrow.
31. 05. 2026 06:42
30. 05. 2026 23:42 CET 		14 flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): Would've preferred to be fastest through on other stages. It's been a solid day. Have to be happy. What happened, happened and we keep pushing.
31. 05. 2026 06:42
30. 05. 2026 23:42 CET 		14 flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): It's been a difficult day, but we're here. That's the most important thing. We hit something in the first stage and we had to fix it on the road section, a bit nervous. The gap is close and tomorrow is gonna be an interesting day
31. 05. 2026 06:42
30. 05. 2026 23:42 CET 		14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not a lot of room to spare there. Obviously need to carry on the same way, that's all. Big day tomorrow.
31. 05. 2026 06:41
30. 05. 2026 23:41 CET 		14 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Not what we were hoping. We came here to fight for the win and we're not fighting. We had a similar rally to Elfyn, except for that one stage. It was tough and after that I never had the pace to fight back, struggling with the tyre basically.
31. 05. 2026 06:41
30. 05. 2026 23:41 CET 		14 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I'm very pleased with the afternoon loop in general. I was hoping to find more pace and that's exactly what we did. Taking a couple of stage wins, from that side it's really okay.
31. 05. 2026 06:41
30. 05. 2026 23:41 CET 		14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Despite it being a difficult day we had some fun, pushing hard. Never found anything to make it work. Struggling with the feeling, feedback and balance. Every time I try to push it harder or change the driving style, it doesn't work.
31. 05. 2026 06:41
30. 05. 2026 23:41 CET 		14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I'm the same person, the same car. Just a reset - that's all.
31. 05. 2026 06:40
30. 05. 2026 23:40 CET 		14 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We're gonna miss the Rally1 cars on tarmac and we had to do some extra. No, actually it's been an enjoyable day, but just frustrated with the performance. Let's see what we can do tomorrow.

30. 05. 2026 23:40 CET 		14 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's been a positive day, we made a good shift forward. Getting used to the car. Haven't touched the setup, adapting to the car. When you trust the car moving around it's quite a lot of fun.
31. 05. 2026 06:40
30. 05. 2026 23:40 CET 		14 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): These cars are mega and even this stage is very fast. I wouldn’t call it an SSS because there’s proper roads. The speeds we get up in these cars and the aero works is just mega. We’re improving a bit and focusing on that. Looking forward to tomorrow.
31. 05. 2026 06:39
30. 05. 2026 23:39 CET 		14 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Too many donuts on the first time, I was trying to be like Solberg. It is a nice way to finish it has been a tricky day. I look forward to one full day left.

31. 05. 2026 06:39
30. 05. 2026 23:39 CET 		12 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I just hit the fence quite heavily, but I'm glad there's no puncture, it was a proper hit. Too much mistakes.
31. 05. 2026 06:38
30. 05. 2026 23:38 CET 		12 flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): OK, good. I'm trying to push. OK, today we were struggling a bit, but it is what it is. Tomorrow, we're going to try something different and let's see if it works.
31. 05. 2026 06:38
30. 05. 2026 23:38 CET 		12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I don't know about that hearing Ogier said he is 'uncatchable'. It's rallying at the end of the day, you know anything can happen. So we have to keep our head down and do the best job we can. That stage was fine. No drama.
31. 05. 2026 06:37
30. 05. 2026 23:37 CET 		12 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): That doesn't change so much anymore that I am down on the splits. Not catchable.
31. 05. 2026 06:37
30. 05. 2026 23:37 CET 		12 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): We need to find out what Seb and Elfyn are doing. Obviously they are normally really quick and pushing still, so I don't know, but it was quite a nice stage.
31. 05. 2026 06:37
30. 05. 2026 23:37 CET 		12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The handbrake sometimes gives us some problems, but it's okay. I'm trying to enjoy it, give it a go and drive on the limit of the set-up we have at the moment. It's a long day. We can't change a lot of things. We increased the springs on the rear yesterday, but it seems like it doesn't work like it should. So we will go back to something else tomorrow and try new things. It's the last day tomorrow. But before that, two little stages left.
31. 05. 2026 06:36
30. 05. 2026 23:36 CET 		12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Of course if there is a chance I try to catch him, but yeah, it's not so easy. I mean, he's doing a good job and he's fast, so yeah, maybe I can catch the step-by-step one second, two seconds. You need to take a big risk to put on the pressure.
31. 05. 2026 06:36
30. 05. 2026 23:36 CET 		12 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I'm feeling okay, actually. I'm feeling I'm doing a hotlap in Japan today, so that's quite nice. Nice, there is a lot of people on the road section, a lot of cars, beautiful cars to be driving in Japan. It's a beautiful landscape also. The sun is shining, very warm.
31. 05. 2026 06:36
30. 05. 2026 23:36 CET 		12 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Today has been a positive day.. We are not too far away. This stage here felt better. The more I drive the car with this set up Ilm getting used to it. This felt like the best stage so far.
31. 05. 2026 06:35
30. 05. 2026 23:35 CET 		12 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): This one wasn't too bad. Today hasn't been quite as humid so we are getting bit more air flow coming into the car which is good. I'm actually getting happy with the car. We still need to improve the pace but enjoying yourself is half the battle.
31. 05. 2026 06:35
30. 05. 2026 23:35 CET 		12 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is crazy. I'm struggling a lot with it to be honest. It is quite demanding but we are through cleanly.
31. 05. 2026 06:35
30. 05. 2026 23:35 CET 		11 flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): Of course it is difficult for everyone with the temperatures and the tyres are screaming. I tried to be smooth at the beginning. It didn't work so well at the end. the time wasn't bad so it is ok. I will keep focussed and not think about the podium.
31. 05. 2026 06:34
30. 05. 2026 23:34 CET 		11 flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): I wanted to push on this one but honestly I messed up a couple of places. In the last part it was so difficult to see with the shadows so I guessed.
31. 05. 2026 06:34
30. 05. 2026 23:34 CET 		11 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): In the end it felt really difficult to drive. I was not full attack and in as in the beginning I went wide in a place, I caught a ditch and I was not sure if I had a puncture. It was not super nice.
31. 05. 2026 06:34
30. 05. 2026 23:34 CET 		11 flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): To be honest I'm trying everything and I'm fighting with the car all the time I don't know why. I'm struggling a lot. I'm pushing like hell but it is difficult.
31. 05. 2026 06:33
30. 05. 2026 23:33 CET 		11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): No way not in control of this rally yet. There is far too much driving to do. It looks like a great time form Sami by the looks of it. It can always be better clearly.
31. 05. 2026 06:33
30. 05. 2026 23:33 CET 		11 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I struggled with the light it was really terrible at the of the stage and that is the way it is.
31. 05. 2026 06:33
30. 05. 2026 23:33 CET 		11 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): At least this was really nice. It was super clean and ok.
31. 05. 2026 06:33
30. 05. 2026 23:33 CET 		11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Honestly I am driving the limit of the front. We had many changes and when we went stiff on the rear it went the wrong way. I am happy with my stage. The handbrake was working until the last 3km then I lost it.
31. 05. 2026 06:33
30. 05. 2026 23:33 CET 		11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is ok. It would be nice to catch Sami [Pajari] but I need to think about the tyres and everything. I'm not sure to push more or not.
31. 05. 2026 06:32
30. 05. 2026 23:32 CET 		11 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The feeling is quite reduced because the tyres are floating on the top of the surface. I'm sure the tyres and the brakes are overheating.
31. 05. 2026 06:32
30. 05. 2026 23:32 CET 		11 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): The last 5km coming down the hill we have no tyre at all. It is all about tyre management. I think we managed ok but it is tricky.
31. 05. 2026 06:32
30. 05. 2026 23:32 CET 		11 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It was good. There was some good steps forward with the set up. It was maybe the first stage where the rhythm felt a bit normal. We are making good progress. This is part of the game and we are learning all the time. It is good we are advancing.
31. 05. 2026 06:32
30. 05. 2026 23:32 CET 		11 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is still difficult. It is quite a demanding stage for the tyres. Our brakes are not great after the last one. It is so demanding. we had a bit of a moment and then I decided to back off a bit as it is not worth risking it.
31. 05. 2026 06:43
30. 05. 2026 23:43 CET 		10 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): A big disappointment again on tarmac unfortunately it's been been tough. We were fighting good. I felt really good in the car, very comfortable. I wasn't really pushing anything crazy, just trying to do what I did all weekend. I just come down to this place and it had quite slippy cuts and was muddy. I didn't really expect this when I arrived and just brake a little bit too late and hit that pole and broke the rear suspension.
31. 05. 2026 06:29
30. 05. 2026 23:29 CET 		10 Stage is cancelled.
31. 05. 2026 06:27

30. 05. 2026 23:27 CET 		10 flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): It was quite tricky with the pollution and I think it was the dirtiest stage in the rally.
31. 05. 2026 06:26
30. 05. 2026 23:26 CET 		10 flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): I wanted to get back into the rhythm. After the disappointment it was difficult to keep up the pace.
31. 05. 2026 06:26
30. 05. 2026 23:26 CET 		10 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The feeling is not good on the driving and with the temperatures so high it is tricky with the balance. I'm sorry for Oliver. It is sad to see him there. I hope he can continue tomorrow.
31. 05. 2026 06:26
30. 05. 2026 23:26 CET 		10 flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): I was a bit wide in the corner and I touched something.
31. 05. 2026 06:25
30. 05. 2026 23:25 CET 		10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was not so bad. We lost a lot of time to pass Solberg safely, so not ideal. We have to focus as quick as you can.
31. 05. 2026 06:25
30. 05. 2026 23:25 CET 		10 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It is not a surprise. This morning the risk Solberg is taking was too high. Unfortunately it is not really a surprise. It is a shame. It was an ok run.

30. 05. 2026 23:24 CET 		10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was working most of the time. In a couple of corners it suddenly stopped working but I was able to activate it again. It w as good stage for us. The balance in the mid section was suddenly working well but toward the end it downgraded again.
31. 05. 2026 06:23
30. 05. 2026 23:23 CET 		10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is ok. It is much warmer. There is more understeer than the morning loop because of the pollution and the temperature. It was tricky but I'm safely through. I could push more but it will be tricky loop for the tyre wear.
31. 05. 2026 06:23
30. 05. 2026 23:23 CET 		10 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The feeling is the same nothing changed. It is just a little bit more dirty than this morning. I was very careful in the chicanes. It is very difficult for the tyres now.
31. 05. 2026 06:22
30. 05. 2026 23:22 CET 		10 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It is bit easier. The tyre are very hot and you feel them moving around a lot and you are trying to manage them. Fun stage.
31. 05. 2026 06:22
30. 05. 2026 23:22 CET 		10 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It was a bit dirtier with the cuts. The temperatures are getting hotter now. We started to lose the brakes towards the end and on the downhill it wasn't confidence inspiring.
31. 05. 2026 06:12
30. 05. 2026 23:12 CET 		9 flash info (28 - Arai Hiroki / Tachikui Hiroki): I'm always struggling to adjust to the tyre but still going so that is the most important thing.
31. 05. 2026 06:11
30. 05. 2026 23:11 CET 		9 flash info (23 - Lindholm Emil / Morales Gabriel): It was not a good stage for me. The beginning was fine but the end with so many rhythm changes at the end I didn't have any confidence to push in the faster section.
31. 05. 2026 06:11
30. 05. 2026 23:11 CET 		9 flash info (24 - Domínguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio): We are struggling with the car and every time I use the handbrake all four wheels lock up. I don't know what is happening. We are here and that is the good thing. We are giving it a shot.
31. 05. 2026 06:11
30. 05. 2026 23:11 CET 		9 flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): I have no brakes for about the last 6 kms.
31. 05. 2026 06:11
30. 05. 2026 23:11 CET 		9 flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): I caught Romet in the stage and lost one or two seconds but it was ok. The afternoon will be more tricky, but we are here.
31. 05. 2026 06:10
30. 05. 2026 23:10 CET 		9 (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): problems with brakes
31. 05. 2026 06:10
30. 05. 2026 23:10 CET 		9 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): On this stage you want to clean and close to the edge of the road but I can't because one tyre from the first stage has no pressure and I have no spare. I can't cut more and take more risk. It is fine. Let's hope we don't have any more tyre issues in the next one.
31. 05. 2026 06:10
30. 05. 2026 23:10 CET 		9 flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): The feeling is a bit better and we made some changes in the car. Let's try to get back in the rhythm.
31. 05. 2026 06:10
30. 05. 2026 23:10 CET 		9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not a good feeling at all. The car is too loose. There is a little change we can do to help this so it should be ok.
31. 05. 2026 06:09
30. 05. 2026 23:09 CET 		9 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was ok. I tried to push towards the end and the donuts were almost perfect. Two of three were perfect.
31. 05. 2026 06:09
30. 05. 2026 23:09 CET 		9 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Not so good but that is how it is. It is a combination you are fast together or slow together.
31. 05. 2026 06:09
30. 05. 2026 23:09 CET 		9 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is quite decent but still I need to find something to be somehow better. It is ok but I feel I need to do better.
31. 05. 2026 06:09
30. 05. 2026 23:09 CET 		9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We have a technical issue so let's see if it we can fix it. At the moment I'm without the handbrake so it is hard to turn in there.
31. 05. 2026 06:08
30. 05. 2026 23:08 CET 		9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is a very tricky stage, with the shadows it is hard to see the corner. There is pollution and you don't see anything there. You need to guess and it is not an easy stage.
31. 05. 2026 06:07
30. 05. 2026 23:07 CET 		9 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Actually it is not the target to be fighting with our team-mates so it is a shame. I just tried to drive. I did not have a very good feeling in this one.
31. 05. 2026 06:07
30. 05. 2026 23:07 CET 		9 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): This is quite a busy stage actually. Already there is a bit of pollution on the road and it will get worse. I would say it is the most demanding stage of the loop.
31. 05. 2026 06:06
30. 05. 2026 23:06 CET 		9 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): We just missed the braking coming into a five right into a very slow corner so we went bit wide and touched a bank. Thankfully there is no damage. It was a bit frustrating. It was a bit of a lapse of concentration.
31. 05. 2026 06:06
30. 05. 2026 23:06 CET 		9 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is fast. It is hard to trust the notes as there is so many shadows and you cannot see the road. The strobe lighting effect is affecting me a bit. It is ok we are through.
31. 05. 2026 06:05
30. 05. 2026 23:05 CET 		8 flash info (24 - Domínguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio): I got inspired by Tokyo Drift, and it was pretty sideways on this last section. Basically like gravel. It was very, very fun.
31. 05. 2026 06:05
30. 05. 2026 23:05 CET 		8 flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): I had a big slide and luckily there was just nothing outside. After that, I took care, but really hard for the tyres. Not the best feeling.
31. 05. 2026 06:05
30. 05. 2026 23:05 CET 		8 flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): That's a surprise actually, it didn't feel too good. That's positive, so we can go faster in the second run. I don't know, the last part especially felt good, but the middle part, definitely, by base notes, it's still a bit of a struggle, but yeah, we are smooth, I think, and the car obviously works well.
31. 05. 2026 06:05
30. 05. 2026 23:05 CET 		8 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I just put it [the damaged wheel] on the back just to have no issue with the power steering on the front. So somehow it works. Difficult stage, to be honest. In the end, it feels like the tyres start to move a lot, so you have to drive slowly and to keep the line because it was sometimes difficult, but okay.
31. 05. 2026 06:04
30. 05. 2026 23:04 CET 		8 flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): l'm fighting understeer all of the time.
31. 05. 2026 06:04
30. 05. 2026 23:04 CET 		8 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was a clean stage for us, not really able to just manage the tyre window quite well, it felt like, but yeah, it's so difficult to know how you're really doing. A bit better balance in here.
31. 05. 2026 06:04
30. 05. 2026 23:04 CET 		8 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I didn't push in that stage. I just had a really smooth run through the whole stage, not trying to overheat the tyres, but yeah, doing this for the first time in this car is very different.
31. 05. 2026 06:04
30. 05. 2026 23:04 CET 		8 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): The car is better, at least I'm struggling less with understeer, but yeah, it looks like we still need to be able to be faster.
31. 05. 2026 06:03
30. 05. 2026 23:03 CET 		8 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Not so great feeling somehow. I need to try to do some changes to make it better.
31. 05. 2026 06:03
30. 05. 2026 23:03 CET 		8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a nightmare. We have never been that bad in this downhill. Usually, we have always been fast here, but I can't do nothing. I'm full locked all the way through. So, honestly, we're changing setups and nothing is making it any better. Compared to yesterday, we are far off from the balance we had yesterday, and it's just getting worse, and I don't know why.
31. 05. 2026 06:03
30. 05. 2026 23:03 CET 		8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Of course I tried to be as gentle as possible on the tyres as it was a very twisty stage. I think the afternoon will be more tricky in the higher temperatures.
31. 05. 2026 06:03
30. 05. 2026 23:03 CET 		8 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I had a good stage, but at the same time I was also a bit struggling at the beginning with the balance and surprisingly in the downhill it was improving. It's a demanding stage. I could have improved, but also it's very easy to make mistakes. There were some corners which were more slippery than last year. Some others, there were more grip.
31. 05. 2026 06:03
30. 05. 2026 23:03 CET 		8 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We've definitely made some improvements to the car, but these stages are so hard for the first time. It doesn't matter how many times I've watched the videos and the prep for this event, there's nothing like driving them and everything looks the same because there's obviously so many corners, so it's really hard to make up for that deficit. Trying the best we can, trying to drive as close as best I can, but it's everywhere, there's places we could have gone faster.
31. 05. 2026 06:02
30. 05. 2026 23:02 CET 		8 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): We made a bit of improvement for this stage, just to try and keep the weight on the back a little bit more. So it seemed to be working a lot better, especially towards the end on the downhill with all the twisty corners. So yeah, I think it was okay and we're going in the right direction.
31. 05. 2026 06:01
30. 05. 2026 23:01 CET 		8 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): That's all good now, but it's demanding instead for everything, and whenever you can't really get the front to turn, it's not so nice.
31. 05. 2026 06:01
30. 05. 2026 23:01 CET 		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.
31. 05. 2026 06:01
30. 05. 2026 23:01 CET 		7 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.

30. 05. 2026 23:01 CET 		7 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.
31. 05. 2026 06:00
30. 05. 2026 23:00 CET 		7 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.
31. 05. 2026 06:00
30. 05. 2026 23:00 CET 		7 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.
31. 05. 2026 06:00
30. 05. 2026 23:00 CET 		7 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.
31. 05. 2026 06:00
30. 05. 2026 23:00 CET 		7 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.
31. 05. 2026 05:59
30. 05. 2026 22:59 CET 		7 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.
31. 05. 2026 05:59
30. 05. 2026 22:59 CET 		7 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Oliver is doing well. It is difficult to see with the forest I struggled with the visibility.
31. 05. 2026 05:59
30. 05. 2026 22:59 CET 		7 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.
31. 05. 2026 05:59
30. 05. 2026 22:59 CET 		7 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.
31. 05. 2026 05:58
30. 05. 2026 22:58 CET 		7 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.
31. 05. 2026 05:58
30. 05. 2026 22:58 CET 		7 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.
31. 05. 2026 05:58
30. 05. 2026 22:58 CET 		7 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.
31. 05. 2026 05:58
30. 05. 2026 22:58 CET 		7 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.
31. 05. 2026 05:57
30. 05. 2026 22:57 CET 		7 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.
31. 05. 2026 05:57
30. 05. 2026 22:57 CET 		7 Weather is sunny, roads are dry, temperature is around 31°C.
29. 05. 2026 22:08
29. 05. 2026 15:08 CET 		6 flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): Of course I cannot be satisfied with my performance all day as there is still more to improve. But at the end of the day back into the podium position is not bad. It is good.
29. 05. 2026 22:08
29. 05. 2026 15:08 CET 		6 flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): That is a bit surprising to be so much off. I had a clean run but maybe I was too smooth. It has been a decent day we hd some minor issues but generally I'm happy.
29. 05. 2026 22:08
29. 05. 2026 15:08 CET 		6 flash info (24 - Domínguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio): We were in the less powerful mode.
29. 05. 2026 22:08
29. 05. 2026 15:08 CET 		6 flash info (23 - Lindholm Emil / Morales Gabriel): It has been tough.
29. 05. 2026 22:07
29. 05. 2026 15:07 CET 		6 flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): It feels really really good. We had some big moments. We made some changes to the car, in some parts it was ok, but in others the rear started to move. The time is good and that is the most important thing.
29. 05. 2026 22:07
29. 05. 2026 15:07 CET 		6 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The feeling was ok but the time difference is big.
29. 05. 2026 22:07
29. 05. 2026 15:07 CET 		6 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Obviously in the last one we got the puncture at 13km mark so we had to stop and change I got out before the car behind which was good, but we lost a lot of time. It was difficult day to try and find some rhythm. There is still two days left to find some improvements.
29. 05. 2026 22:07
29. 05. 2026 15:07 CET 		6 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): I think I'm just too sweaty and i keep breaking the intercom with my sweat. I can still hear roughly and Ilm not in a good rhythm because if that. We juts tried to get through and not drop too much time.
29. 05. 2026 22:06
29. 05. 2026 15:06 CET 		6 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): The whole year has been a lot of new stuff. I enjoyed this afternoon. for sure i could be a lot faster on the twisty section. I would like to be a bit closer but today is done and tomorrow is new day.
29. 05. 2026 22:06
29. 05. 2026 15:06 CET 		6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Not much honestly to come. It was very reasonable. We were able to make a difference in the difficult conditions. On the hard tyre the grip just goes away. It is proper fighting in there.
29. 05. 2026 22:06
29. 05. 2026 15:06 CET 		6 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Not ideal for sure. We were hoping for better. We did what we could. We still have to work to find the sweet spot in the car I was fighting it all day.
29. 05. 2026 22:06
29. 05. 2026 15:06 CET 		6 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I have to check why we are loosing time on some sectors.
29. 05. 2026 22:05
29. 05. 2026 15:05 CET 		6 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was a horrible stage. I had way too many small mistakes. That was probably the worst stage today. I was a bit surprised by the time. I'm very disappointed. I'm a bit sad today with the animals in SS 3 and everything. Instead of being 16s behind it could have been 10s but that's life.
29. 05. 2026 22:05
29. 05. 2026 15:05 CET 		6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is ok. It was pretty dry and no surprises. It was one of the worst days I have had. It is very bad and it was very frustrating. There are still two days to go.
29. 05. 2026 22:05
29. 05. 2026 15:05 CET 		6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Road position. It is always road position. It has been an ok day for us overall It has been relatively clean and managed to keep a good rhythm so other than that it has been ok.
29. 05. 2026 22:11
29. 05. 2026 15:11 CET 		5 retired (36 - Otto Nicolas / Magalhães Hugo): retired in SS 5
29. 05. 2026 22:04
29. 05. 2026 15:04 CET 		5 flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): It has been really good. I can't really complain. It is easier to trust the grip and you can go for it. This might be one of our worst decisions yet not to score WRC2 points here.
29. 05. 2026 22:04
29. 05. 2026 15:04 CET 		5 flash info (23 - Lindholm Emil / Morales Gabriel): 90 times the pop off valve opened. It happened before the start of the stage. We went wide and then we had to start the car again.
29. 05. 2026 22:04
29. 05. 2026 15:04 CET 		5 flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): I had a little kiss with the barrier. The tyres are dead in this part so I slid a bit more. It has been a great fight and let's see if it can be on my side.
29. 05. 2026 22:04
29. 05. 2026 15:04 CET 		5 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The problem on the previous stage there was a slow puncture. We are now carrying the soft and it is not easy. At the end I was floating like hell but overall it was ok.
29. 05. 2026 22:03
29. 05. 2026 15:03 CET 		5 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Up the hill there was a stone and the tyre immediately dropped pressure. We had no option but to stop. That is the least of our problems to run a soft now...
29. 05. 2026 22:03
29. 05. 2026 15:03 CET 		5 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): I don't think it was the correct choice in the end. the softs seemed to go off early and we didn't have the precision, so we were limited on corner speed. It is hard to have a good run nowadays. We need to keep improving.
29. 05. 2026 22:03
29. 05. 2026 15:03 CET 		5 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It is a lot nicer this afternoon and there is still some tricky places in there. We lost a lot of time coming down the hill. I enjoyed the driving so that is the main thing.
29. 05. 2026 22:02
29. 05. 2026 15:02 CET 		5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am on the limit of the front everywhere. I have to slow down everywhere to be able to turn. I cannot do more. Once we are on the hard tyre the balance is gone. It is the same story with this car. This car is not meant to go fast in these conditions.
29. 05. 2026 22:02
29. 05. 2026 15:02 CET 		5 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): There was a lot of understeer but all ok.
29. 05. 2026 22:02
29. 05. 2026 15:02 CET 		5 (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): puncture
29. 05. 2026 22:01
29. 05. 2026 15:01 CET 		5 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It was interesting. I don't know. Some sections I have really nice feeling and good flow. But in some sections we lose more, it is strange.
29. 05. 2026 22:01
29. 05. 2026 15:01 CET 		5 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): This stage is very incredible. It is so nice to drive it. It is really demanding and very nice to be fair. You have to manage tyres and brakes. I cannot really push as it kills everything. We have not managed it well enough.
29. 05. 2026 22:01
29. 05. 2026 15:01 CET 		5 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was tricky. It was the first time doing it in the dry like this. For sure, there are some things to learn. It got quite dirty again.
29. 05. 2026 22:01
29. 05. 2026 15:01 CET 		5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We tried the soft tyres in this one. I wanted to try it and see how it works.
29. 05. 2026 22:00
29. 05. 2026 15:00 CET 		5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): There is bit of dampness in the mid part where it is more dirty but not a lot.
29. 05. 2026 22:00
29. 05. 2026 15:00 CET 		4 flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): It was not really a perfect run. I had hesitation all the time and it is not easy with the new notes. Everything is going well so it is ok.
29. 05. 2026 22:00
29. 05. 2026 15:00 CET 		4 flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): It is so much more consistent and you can trust the car and the tyres. I had a good push. I had some understeer at the end but it is logical consider ingthe push.
29. 05. 2026 21:59
29. 05. 2026 14:59 CET 		4 flash info (24 - Domínguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio): The time is not as bad as thought. We had a lot of understeer but it is not too bad.
29. 05. 2026 21:59
29. 05. 2026 14:59 CET 		4 flash info (23 - Lindholm Emil / Morales Gabriel): Not too good but ok. The grip is good so now we need to start pushing.
29. 05. 2026 21:59
29. 05. 2026 14:59 CET 		4 flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): I was pushing to the maximum. This stage is really fast and you need to be confident. We did a great job.
29. 05. 2026 21:59
29. 05. 2026 14:59 CET 		4 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): We are a bit heavy carrying the second spare wheel. There is too much sliding around, but the feeling despite that was ok.
29. 05. 2026 21:58
29. 05. 2026 14:58 CET 		4 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Much the same. It is tricky to get back on throttle. We have to keep on trying to find a solution with the driving at the moment.
29. 05. 2026 21:58
29. 05. 2026 14:58 CET 		4 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): I ran out of grip towards the end of the stage and I touched the armco. I'm trying to drive faster and it was a better stage for us There is still some ways we can improve the performance but sometimes you can get surprises like that.
29. 05. 2026 21:58
29. 05. 2026 14:58 CET 		4 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It is obviously a normal dry stage., I felt I drove ok but the car is moving around a lot. It enjoyed it, it was a lot of fun.
29. 05. 2026 21:57
29. 05. 2026 14:57 CET 		4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Car has changed a lot, I have no front end any more. I am full lock everywhere.
29. 05. 2026 21:57
29. 05. 2026 14:57 CET 		4 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): There was much more grip and it was much more enjoyable. It should be more equal this afternoon.
29. 05. 2026 21:57
29. 05. 2026 14:57 CET 		4 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It has changed a lot. I don't know why we lost so much. I was not expecting that.
29. 05. 2026 21:56
29. 05. 2026 14:56 CET 		4 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): In service we were working on basic things.
29. 05. 2026 21:56
29. 05. 2026 14:56 CET 		4 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Stage is new for everyone so I guess that helps. I guess there was some good driving too.
29. 05. 2026 21:56
29. 05. 2026 14:56 CET 		4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I just try to manage the situation. Of course when I can push I will try to push, it is not easy at the moment.
29. 05. 2026 21:55
29. 05. 2026 14:55 CET 		4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Road position isn't an advantage I guess but let's see how it is.
29. 05. 2026 21:55
29. 05. 2026 14:55 CET 		4 Stage is completely dry.
29. 05. 2026 11:35
29. 05. 2026 04:35 CET 		3 flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): Here was ok. The hard tyres on the front wasn't optimal but I had a good feeling. This stage we know, so it was good. I don't think about the podium too much but I just need to do my job.
29. 05. 2026 11:35
29. 05. 2026 04:35 CET 		3 flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): We had wipers stuck in the middle of the windscreen which was not ideal. I stalled as well so it was very messy from us.
29. 05. 2026 11:35
29. 05. 2026 04:35 CET 		3 flash info (24 - Domínguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio): Very pleased. Our pace has been better than I expected. I lost some confidence in this last stage so I need to check on the pacenotes. It has been a tricky morning.
29. 05. 2026 11:35
29. 05. 2026 04:35 CET 		3 flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): This stage was much drier than I expected. I tried to have a good rhythm so let's see.
29. 05. 2026 11:34
29. 05. 2026 04:34 CET 		3 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It was not easy in there. I am expecting some fight with Alejandro Cachón during the weekend. So let's see.
29. 05. 2026 11:34
29. 05. 2026 04:34 CET 		3 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is bit slippy. We are just trying the cross as the softs are quite worn after the last stage. It was a compromise and we knew it wasn't going to be optimal. Let's see for the afternoon at least we have good knowledge of every tyre option now.
29. 05. 2026 11:34
29. 05. 2026 04:34 CET 		3 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): There is obviously time to be made being efficient and neat and tidy. We are trying our best to get through.
29. 05. 2026 11:34
29. 05. 2026 04:34 CET 		3 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I probably should have been on full softs. It is the way it is. We juts have to reset. the rally is still long. The grip is very low and very changeable and that is not my favourite conditions. Hopefully it should dry out a bit this afternoon and be bit better.
29. 05. 2026 11:33
29. 05. 2026 04:33 CET 		3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Obviously I made the choice to stay on the four softs. My gravel crew said the last section was really slippery. I had no front as the tyre were overheating and the braking was not very efficient. On the grease we were able to catch back some time. It was a bit of a compromise. The balance is quite ok we also know on the softs we find more confidence in the car than the hard. The rally is still very long. The afternoon loop will be a hell of a ride.
29. 05. 2026 11:33
29. 05. 2026 04:33 CET 		3 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): The last one there was not much we could do as the middle section was full of mud. There is still along way to go. We will put maximum pressure now on Elfyn.
29. 05. 2026 11:33
29. 05. 2026 04:33 CET 		3 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It was better than the previous but still quite tricky., It seems like Elfyn did a really good stage in there. Nothing is lost. We need to keep pushing. There was rain overnight and it is so deep in the forest that it is not really drying up.
29. 05. 2026 11:33
29. 05. 2026 04:33 CET 		3 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The feeling was a bit better in this one. It was ok. It is not easy the conditions. There are some high grip and then you can be very surprised by one corner. It is a proper Rally Japan.
29. 05. 2026 11:32
29. 05. 2026 04:32 CET 		3 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): There was deer in the straight and I had to slow down and lost a little bit of time. I lost all the confidence as I didn't know if there was going to be more deer.
29. 05. 2026 11:32
29. 05. 2026 04:32 CET 		3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was damp but there was no information in the notes. How can I drive like this?
29. 05. 2026 11:32
29. 05. 2026 04:32 CET 		3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The start was lot better and it was full dry. This end part was very greasy and very difficult to judge the grip.
29. 05. 2026 11:31
29. 05. 2026 04:31 CET 		3 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): was out of road
29. 05. 2026 11:30
29. 05. 2026 04:30 CET 		2 flash info (28 - Arai Hiroki / Tachikui Hiroki): It is always every year I haven't been using Hankook so it is just about getting used to the tyres again. It is hard to push but Ilm still learning. It is hard to judge the grip.
29. 05. 2026 11:30
29. 05. 2026 04:30 CET 		2 flash info (27 - Yamamoto Yuki / Fulton James): It was really tricky. I had a small half spin at a junction and I lost a couple of seconds there. There was no feeling in the car in slippy and damp conditions.
29. 05. 2026 11:30
29. 05. 2026 04:30 CET 		2 flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): Obviously there was too much hesitation. I took it very carefully in the forest. It is very risky. We will keep pushing.
29. 05. 2026 11:30
29. 05. 2026 04:30 CET 		2 flash info (24 - Domínguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio): It was tricky in the beginning but it was better in the final section. We were lacking confidence in the dry sections. I need to work on the set up and the soft was overheating at the end of the stage
29. 05. 2026 11:29
29. 05. 2026 04:29 CET 		2 flash info (23 - Lindholm Emil / Morales Gabriel): It was a struggle in there. We are not getting any rhythm and the gip is changing all the time. I am more or less just surviving. I'm sure the seconds are there but if you can't trust the pacenotes it is not going to happen. But we are through.
29. 05. 2026 11:29
29. 05. 2026 04:29 CET 		2 flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): It feels really bad. It is really tricky and in some places it is slippery and in others the grip is quite good. I had not really good pacenotes. It is tricky.
29. 05. 2026 11:29
29. 05. 2026 04:29 CET 		2 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I was struggling like hell but maybe when the tyres are the same for everyone it seems like it is working good. I just drove safe.
29. 05. 2026 11:29
29. 05. 2026 04:29 CET 		2 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is crazy. I just can't turn. We will keep going.
29. 05. 2026 11:28
29. 05. 2026 04:28 CET 		2 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It is obviously very slippy. I was trying to drive neat and tidy at the beginning. It was tricky coming down the hill. Tough stage, It is one of the stages that is evolving with the pollution being dragged out. It is our first time through and there is a million corners.
29. 05. 2026 11:28
29. 05. 2026 04:28 CET 		2 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It was really difficult with the hard tyre, I expected it to dry out quicker than this but there is shade under the trees. It is hard on brakes, tyres and everything.
29. 05. 2026 11:28
29. 05. 2026 04:28 CET 		2 (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): clips a bank
29. 05. 2026 11:28
29. 05. 2026 04:28 CET 		2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is getting more and more dirty. Honestly I had a good run but I cannot keep the apex in many places so I have understeer on the exit and it is penalising me a lot.
29. 05. 2026 11:27
29. 05. 2026 04:27 CET 		2 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It is start position...
29. 05. 2026 11:27
29. 05. 2026 04:27 CET 		2 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): No it didn't feel that slow. We had quite many surprises and it was not so easy to find a proper push. Nothing is lost. It was very tricky.
29. 05. 2026 11:27
29. 05. 2026 04:27 CET 		2 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We had a spin in the stage at one hairpin so we lost some time there but it is not 35 second clearly. I have no grip or balance in the car. We had a dry set up and I would have expected to dry a bit more. It is how it is. It is ver very bad start for us. It is a long rally.
29. 05. 2026 11:26
29. 05. 2026 04:26 CET 		2 (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): spun
29. 05. 2026 11:26
29. 05. 2026 04:26 CET 		2 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was very slippy and I was just too careful. I tried to have a go but I was too slow throughout. I could have pushed much more. It was very tricky.
29. 05. 2026 11:26
29. 05. 2026 04:26 CET 		2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I have no confidence to trust the pacenotes.
29. 05. 2026 11:25
29. 05. 2026 04:25 CET 		2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was fine. It was difficult to judge the grip again. I tried to carry speed but it is hard to know.
29. 05. 2026 11:23
29. 05. 2026 04:23 CET 		1 flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): It was not too bad. I had a bit too much hesitation in the damp spots. I think full softs would be better. It is a decent start I can't complain. At the last second I changed to three softs.
29. 05. 2026 11:23
29. 05. 2026 04:23 CET 		1 flash info (24 - Domínguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio): It was quite ok. Some places were very tricky and had low grip. It was very difficult to read the grip. Thankfully we are here. We went wide on some corners. I still fee like a rookie on this surface.
29. 05. 2026 11:23
29. 05. 2026 04:23 CET 		1 flash info (23 - Lindholm Emil / Morales Gabriel): Not on the softs. There were really some surprises in there. It was difficult to get any rhythm. We are here. It is quite a high speed stage to what we have in the rally. It was a wake up call for the morning.
29. 05. 2026 11:23
29. 05. 2026 04:23 CET 		1 flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): It is a big surprise. I had no confidence at all. I was not pushing really hard. I changed to soft tyres at the last moment.
29. 05. 2026 11:22
29. 05. 2026 04:22 CET 		1 flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I think we were little bit too optimistic with the tyre choice for the stage. It was ok, now we know.
29. 05. 2026 11:22
29. 05. 2026 04:22 CET 		1 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is quite sketchy in there to be honest. We opted for the a more aggressive tyre choice which probably wasn't the best. One hundred percent we expected it to dry. It was last minute decision to go with the cross tyre option.
29. 05. 2026 11:22
29. 05. 2026 04:22 CET 		1 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It was quite tricky to be fair. There were a lot of damp places. I was probably being a bit too careful in those sections. You have to have the grip under you for those sections. We were thinking it would start to dry out but it is not drying out as quicker as we were hoping for.
29. 05. 2026 11:22
29. 05. 2026 04:22 CET 		1 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It was a nice flowing stage. It was really difficult knowing what the right option is for tyres.
29. 05. 2026 11:21
29. 05. 2026 04:21 CET 		1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Very honestly it wasn't too bad for the first 8km. The last section I was understeering like hell. I was trying to keep the rhythm. we need to adjust for the upcoming stage, otherwise the weekend will be long.
29. 05. 2026 11:21
29. 05. 2026 04:21 CET 		1 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): There are some tricky corners and I had a little moment where I had to back off as I was losing grip.
29. 05. 2026 11:20
29. 05. 2026 04:20 CET 		1 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It was very slippy. It is a surprisingly good time as there was a concrete drain lying int he road and I hit it at high speed. I was really sure I had puncture but luckily it is nothing. It was two kilometers into the stage. I was lucky.
29. 05. 2026 11:20
29. 05. 2026 04:20 CET 		1 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was very tricky conditions in this one to be fair.
29. 05. 2026 11:20
29. 05. 2026 04:20 CET 		1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I didn't expect it to be as slippy as that.
29. 05. 2026 11:19
29. 05. 2026 04:19 CET 		1 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): puncture
29. 05. 2026 11:19
29. 05. 2026 04:19 CET 		1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was very changeable actually. It has evolved a bit since the gravel crew went through. Some places are drying but some slippy under the trees it is difficult to read.
29. 05. 2026 11:19
29. 05. 2026 04:19 CET 		1 Road is mostly dry with some damp patches under the trees after some overnight rain.

28. 05. 2026 02:48 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): It is very nice. I have to say I was not expecting to see fans with my posters on the recce. Big thanks to M-Sport fro bringing me here.
28. 05. 2026 09:48
28. 05. 2026 02:48 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (24 - Domínguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio): It was good. The car wasn't doing what we wanted it to do. There was a big rock on the inside of a corner and we went wide. We need to work on some things but not too bad.
28. 05. 2026 09:48
28. 05. 2026 02:48 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (23 - Lindholm Emil / Morales Gabriel): A win would mean a lot. It is brilliant challenge out there but I like technical roads like this. We will try to do our best but I'm sure the others will have some speed too.
28. 05. 2026 09:48
28. 05. 2026 02:48 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): It is always a pleasure to be in this country. I love everything. The stages are amazing and I hope to enjoy a lot and make all the fans happy.

28. 05. 2026 02:47 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is the last dance with the Rally1 on tarmac and it has been a crazy generation of car. It is a special rally. The feeling is ok and let's try to find some rhythm.

28. 05. 2026 02:47 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It is a such an amazing country and it is great to be here.

28. 05. 2026 02:47 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It is very different tarmac rally. It is very twisty and technical The higher temperatures will make it difficult for the tyres and brakes. I'm looking forward to the challenge.
28. 05. 2026 09:46
28. 05. 2026 02:46 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was very important for the team to win in Portugal. This weekend will be a bit more challenging. We will see. We have some work to do.

28. 05. 2026 02:46 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I don't know what will be different this year. The only thing that matters is I get the same result as last year and I'm here for that.
28. 05. 2026 09:46
28. 05. 2026 02:46 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is nice to be back on tarmac once again. It is juts a shakedown but it is cool to be back. We didn't have testing before the event so it is all about trying to find the best feeling on asphalt.
28. 05. 2026 09:45
28. 05. 2026 02:45 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It is good to be back in Japan. We know it will be twisty and demanding and the weather seems to be quite warm. Thanks to all the fans it was nice welcome in the recce.

28. 05. 2026 02:45 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It is going to be a bit different from last year. It was my first time doing the rally last year but it is great to be back in this car. I'm just trying to get the feeling a little bit. Good fun to be back.
28. 05. 2026 09:44
28. 05. 2026 02:44 CET 		SHAKEDOWN flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Of course it is lot pressure but it is nothing disturbing. It is nice atmosphere and I need to push as much as possible. It is not an easy rally but I will try to bring the best result possible.
