Date and time SS Information
05. 07. 2026 18:07 CET 11 retired (57 - Fontana Matteo / Arnaboldi Alessandro): accident in SS 11
05. 07. 2026 16:58 CET 11 flash info (24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): Crazy, crazy. We are very happy. It was demanding today, very, very stressful. But we managed to win. It was very hard before the last stage because anything can happen. The narrow section was very tricky and this morning we bent a rim, so I was a bit scared about punctures. But thank you so much to all the people that are believing in me. I'm very, very happy. And after last week in Greece, I think that we deserve this big emotion, and I am very, very happy.
05. 07. 2026 16:52 CET 11 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): Oi, Oi, Oi. That was close then. I tried to have a clever drive, but immediately when you start to take a bit careful, you start to lose a lot of time. Really good points, and I have to say massive thanks for the team and for the engineers. Working with them is like going to the supermarket. Anything what I want on the car, they can deliver.
05. 07. 2026 16:52 CET 11 flash info (26 - Avbelj Boštjan / De Guio Elia): Wow, impressive. I just take it for myself. I really enjoyed it. Not so simple stage with this narrow part, with all the gravel and pollution. We gave it everything. We did also some errors. I want to thank all the team and all the sponsors for this opportunity. We showed something this weekend.
05. 07. 2026 16:51 CET 11 flash info (4 - Basso Giandomenico / Granai Lorenzo): We did our best. We have no regrets. I'm really happy to be here and to have finished this beautiful and demanding rally. Congratulations to the organisers, to you, to Pirelli for their fantastic tyres, to my team, and to everyone who supports me.
05. 07. 2026 16:43 CET 11 flash info (20 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): I am happy. I'm a bit frustrated because I didn't show the pace of the car because the car was really perfect this weekend and I was not really perfect. I was too slow this weekend. I didn't push enough. But the team did a perfect job. The Michelin tyres worked very well here now, so I think we can fight, but I was not that good.
05. 07. 2026 16:42 CET 11 flash info (33 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): I don't think we could have done any better. The start position yesterday morning wasn't perfect, so we lost a bit of time there. Happy with this result. I'm finally starting to get the feeling with the Rally2 on tarmac.
05. 07. 2026 16:38 CET 11 flash info (22 - Sarrazin Pablo / Roche Yannick): It was a long weekend. We learned a lot, and we came for that, so we can be happy. Next event on tarmac is next year for us, but it's okay. Thanks to the federation because they push all the French driver a lot. And without them, we can't be here, so thanks to the team, thanks everyone, and see you soon.
05. 07. 2026 16:34 CET 11 flash info (18 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): Very happy to be in Rome. I hope to come back next year to play for the win, to be honest. It's a very good weekend for us ands for the team. Let's see for the future.
05. 07. 2026 16:32 CET 11 flash info (6 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): This is 120%. Virgi is so strong because we made the jump at the beginning, we made a big impact coming down. Wow! Also the wipers went on for a while. But we continue pushing because she said, continue like this, we must try at least. Trust me, this is the maximum I can do. No more than this. And that's all for the weekend. Not the one we were expecting, of course, but tough moments, to be honest. We need to work, but we need some more support. We cannot drive like this all the time.
05. 07. 2026 16:28 CET 11 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): The time is not like we would like, but it's okay. This is the finish of the weekend. I was hoping for a little bit better time here on power stage, but it was not a good weekend from our side. It could be faster, but also we had some technical issue from the start of the race. We need to try refocus, and now will be really different tarmac because we are going to Rally Poland next.
05. 07. 2026 16:28 CET 11 flash info (14 - Bulacia Marco / López Alejandro): We have improved quite a lot. Still I'm struggling to trust my pace notes. I'm not trusting, I'm not fully committed with the grip of the tyre. But yeah, I think we need a bit more of kilometres to build up the confidence. But still, we are very happy for our weekend.
05. 07. 2026 16:25 CET 11 flash info (25 - Campedelli Simone / Canton Tania): I can't do anything more. Honestly on this one, I pushed like hell, and I'm satisfied with my driving. During the weekend maybe, sometimes I lost the confidence, and I was not fully committed. But on this one, considering that it's also power stage for national championship, I gave it my all.
05. 07. 2026 16:22 CET 11 flash info (8 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): Now we've got to the finish. I suppose one corner ruined a really strong result. But that's how it goes, you know, the disappointment from that will make us learn. To be able to set the times that we did yesterday, we have to be pretty happy with that against some of the best here in Rome with a lot of experience.
05. 07. 2026 16:21 CET 11 flash info (7 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It was a nice one. I enjoyed also the first pass. Now it was even better. I wanted to drive a bit more clean, smooth, but in places I like to slide too much. I think I lost a bit of time with that. But it was a nice stage and a difficult weekend for us, but I'm really proud that we are here.
05. 07. 2026 16:17 CET 11 flash info (34 - Blach Roberto / Sosa Daniel): I think that it's a good weekend for us. You know, it's only my second rally in the year, and it's normal this position. But I finished the rally with a good pace.
05. 07. 2026 15:42 CET 11 Starting order: Blach, Tempestini, Creighton, Campedelli, Bulacia, Marczyk, Mabellini, Rossel, Sarrazin, Johansson, Bonato, Basso, Avbelj, Suninen, Dapra
05. 07. 2026 18:06 CET 10 retired (86 - Zigliani Ludwig / Montavoci Sara): retired after SS 10
05. 07. 2026 18:05 CET 10 retired (106 - Moricci Paolo / Garavaldi Paolo): accident in SS 10
05. 07. 2026 16:37 CET 10 retired (118 - Evrard Paul / Mahinc Enzo): accident in SS 10
05. 07. 2026 16:16 CET 10 retired (113 - Gangi Federico / Capilli Federico): accident in SS 10
05. 07. 2026 15:23 CET 10 flash info (8 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): It's just trying to protect the tyre. I'm sure everybody's saying the same. Just trying to be patient and it's quite a unique driving style. You feel like you're going slow, but I think it's the fastest way to save the tyre. It's not easy. Like I say, very unique, but we're learning.
05. 07. 2026 15:23 CET 10 flash info (7 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It was better than the first one for sure. We felt a bit better with the car, and, yeah, I think it's a nice stage.
05. 07. 2026 15:23 CET 10 flash info (24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): Good feeling. I thought to lose a bit less time on this stage, but yeah, now focus on the next one and let's see.
05. 07. 2026 15:22 CET 10 flash info (4 - Basso Giandomenico / Granai Lorenzo): It's okay, but it's not going to be easy. It's Basso, the Italian maestro.
05. 07. 2026 15:22 CET 10 flash info (26 - Avbelj Boštjan / De Guio Elia): It's an honour for me [to beat Basso]. We improved the car very well, I like it now, so I can push. So, another stage and that's it.
05. 07. 2026 15:11 CET 10 flash info (20 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): They are okay, it's a shame because they were the fastest guy of the French team. They are young, they fight with us, so it's a shame. That's the rally. I think they will have a good opportunity for the future.
05. 07. 2026 14:57 CET 10 Stage continues.
05. 07. 2026 14:46 CET 10 flash info (22 - Sarrazin Pablo / Roche Yannick): It was a difficult one for us. No feeling in the car. It is strange because it is the same setup as the morning, and completely different feeling.
05. 07. 2026 14:46 CET 10 flash info (18 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): Incredible, to be honest.Nothing is better than the race to understand everything. We fight, to be honest. I am very happy about the car.
05. 07. 2026 14:46 CET 10 flash info (6 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It seems like others are improving more than us. We still have one to go. We will try to sort out some more solution and then that's all.
05. 07. 2026 14:45 CET 10 flash info (33 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): Now again with the heat, I didn't really manage to keep the tyres for the whole stage. I think I was pushing a bit too hard in the beginning, so, yeah, couldn't do any more.
05. 07. 2026 14:45 CET 10 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was a little bit better. I'm trying to do my best. This final feeling is not like last year, where we were driving here in the more proper pace. It's still not bad because competition here is tough, but it's not the place where we would like to be.
05. 07. 2026 14:45 CET 10 flash info (25 - Campedelli Simone / Canton Tania): Anyway, it's okay. We have a game with the last year team with Bulacia, and it looks they were faster than us.
05. 07. 2026 14:37 CET 10 Stage is stopped because of accident of car no. 21.
05. 07. 2026 14:36 CET 10 retired (21 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): accident in SS 10

05. 07. 2026 11:41 CET 9 Stage continues.
05. 07. 2026 11:11 CET 9 Stage is stopped because of ambulance at civil issue.
05. 07. 2026 10:55 CET 9 flash info (23 - Crugnola Andrea / Beltrame Luca): We tried to see if the pace note were okay. Of course, we did this stage already last year. Looks okay, and we try to finish the job with the power stage.
05. 07. 2026 10:55 CET 9 flash info (19 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Now when we're using the spare gearbox, we have a completely different car, so I need to adapt a little bit for the driving. But this stage, it's like quite simple, but I had some mistakes with the pace notes.
05. 07. 2026 10:54 CET 9 flash info (8 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): It's difficult, the guys have done that stage last year. On the wide road, it's all about having confidence in your pace notes, carrying the speed, and committing to the exit of the corner. So, sometimes I'm doing that, and then sometimes I'm not, and it's too dangerous to chance it because, you know, one will catch you out, so. But generally, not too bad. The car feels nice. The Michelin tyres are working well, so we're enjoying it.
05. 07. 2026 10:53 CET 9 flash info (7 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): We did the recce last year. Unfortunately, last year I didn't pass through this one. But it was a nice one. We enjoyed. I tried to drive a bit faster. I'm still adjusting a bit the setup to try to find some few seconds, let's say. It's not easy, but we are enjoying.
05. 07. 2026 10:53 CET 9 flash info (24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): We just tried to no take any risks. We were very careful in the narrow section, so yeah, all okay.
05. 07. 2026 10:43 CET 9 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): Definitely the pace is pretty high here, I must agree. But we try, we push.
05. 07. 2026 10:42 CET 9 flash info (26 - Avbelj Boštjan / De Guio Elia): I didn't start well, but okay, this stage was better. We have to stay concentrated and go maximum attack for the last kilometres.
05. 07. 2026 10:42 CET 9 flash info (4 - Basso Giandomenico / Granai Lorenzo): We are pushing, I realise that in some places we make some small mistakes but the rhythm is very hight and I’m happy. Boštjan is close but it’s okay like this.
05. 07. 2026 10:42 CET 9 flash info (20 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): That's normal. I was too slow. I was careful after the crash on the previous one when I hit the hay bale. So, I was a bit careful on the difficult section, so that's normal. The time is correct because I was not so fast.
05. 07. 2026 10:42 CET 9 flash info (21 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): Not so bad.
05. 07. 2026 10:41 CET 9 flash info (22 - Sarrazin Pablo / Roche Yannick): It was a difficult one, really, really fast.
05. 07. 2026 10:41 CET 9 flash info (18 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): Everything is working, the car reacts like I want. Nothing special, to be honest.
05. 07. 2026 10:41 CET 9 flash info (6 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): I have no words. It's incredible how a small change can make the driving completely different, so I really don't know, to be honest.
05. 07. 2026 10:40 CET 9 flash info (33 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): It's feeling better now. Starting to get the feeling. We're just working on that from now. The driving is better, setup is better, so, feels good.
05. 07. 2026 10:40 CET 9 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): I'm trying, but for sure it's not this final confidence. In some corners I'm braking too much. I think also the pace notes are a little bit worse than last year, unfortunately. I'm trying to push myself all the time to maximum what is possible for now. It's not the pace which we would like, and I feel it inside the car. It's possible to go faster, but okay. I need to appreciate this moment and try to work on it.
05. 07. 2026 10:40 CET 9 flash info (25 - Campedelli Simone / Canton Tania): Here it looks a bit better, but generally we struggle with my feeling of the grip. I don't really trust my driving, and so I think that so far I'm the problem, but I try to do what I can.
05. 07. 2026 10:40 CET 9 flash info (14 - Bulacia Marco / López Alejandro): It was enjoyable. I think we were sliding too much in here. We are still improving, we are happy with our rally so far, and we need to wrap up the last two stages and we will be very happy.
05. 07. 2026 10:39 CET 9 flash info (34 - Blach Roberto / Sosa Daniel): I really like this stage. I think that now the pace is good. I don't know the time of the other drivers, but my feeling with the car and with my driving, it's good. I'm happy for this, because it's better than yesterday.
05. 07. 2026 10:56 CET 8 retired (116 - Müller Jonas / Raabe Pascal): accident in SS 8
05. 07. 2026 10:53 CET 8 retired (9 - Matulka Jakub / Kielar Patryk): technical problem before SS 8
05. 07. 2026 10:52 CET 8 retired (27 - Andolfi Fabio / Menchini Marco): didnt start into Leg 2
05. 07. 2026 10:45 CET 8 retired (79 - Dei Ceci Francesco / Vizzaccaro Christian): accident in SS 8
05. 07. 2026 10:44 CET 8 retired (53 - Butyński Sebastian / Jastrzębski Łukasz): accident in SS 8
05. 07. 2026 10:44 CET 8 retired (56 - Proudlock Robert / Marchbank Harry): accident in SS 8
05. 07. 2026 09:53 CET 8 flash info (24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): We lost a few seconds in the middle part because I thought we had a puncture. There was a sharp rock in the three right, no, in a fast right in fifth gear. Luckily for many corners, it seemed very slippery on the front right, but it was just the road. And I told Luca many times, "We have puncture!" And he said, "No, no, keep going." Happy that the time is still good, and now let's focus on the next one and to end the day.
05. 07. 2026 09:53 CET 8 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): Crazy, crazy fast, really technical. Maybe some locals know some better routes. But I take the challenge, I like it.
05. 07. 2026 09:53 CET 8 flash info (26 - Avbelj Boštjan / De Guio Elia): We had a spin at one short left where there was some pollution.
05. 07. 2026 09:47 CET 8 flash info (20 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): I did the recce on full rain, and I didn't see the mark on the floor, so on the ground, the mark was not clear for me. And then when I turned left, for me it was flat But I still continued, and I was a bit fast, maybe 10kph too fast at the chicane.
05. 07. 2026 09:47 CET 8 (26 - Avbelj Boštjan / De Guio Elia): spun
05. 07. 2026 09:43 CET 8 flash info (21 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): We did a good one I think.
05. 07. 2026 09:42 CET 8 flash info (22 - Sarrazin Pablo / Roche Yannick): We did a mistake in the chicane, and I lost a lot of time. But it was okay. It's like that. The car is much better than yesterday.
05. 07. 2026 09:42 CET 8 flash info (18 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It was good except the last part. I did a mistake on the chicane, and I need to reverse, but except that. The feeling is good into the car, we can be happy.
05. 07. 2026 09:42 CET 8 (20 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): crashed into chicane
05. 07. 2026 09:37 CET 8 flash info (6 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): I don't know what to say. I'm not driving like I want. I'm all the time searching for grip, and the correct angle to make the proper corner, and because of that, you are not flow. It's not working, it's not working. But, yeah, we carry on.
05. 07. 2026 09:37 CET 8 flash info (33 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): It was surprisingly slippery. This fresh tarmac was very low on grip, so, yeah, I was carrying too much speed into almost every corner and had to lift on the exit. So not optimal, but now we know for the second pass.
05. 07. 2026 09:36 CET 8 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It's okay. Not a proper push like I would like. Okay, maybe morning loop it's a little bit less grip and it was necessary to adjust the speed a little bit to it, but it was possible to push harder. And still we have some fight with the intercom, but okay, we are driving for the next one.
05. 07. 2026 09:36 CET 8 flash info (25 - Campedelli Simone / Canton Tania): Big one moment. I avoid a tree, a car. I don't know how I was able to do it. I'm shaking my hands. It's okay. We are here.
05. 07. 2026 09:35 CET 8 (18 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): stuck in chicane
05. 07. 2026 09:29 CET 8 (25 - Campedelli Simone / Canton Tania): was out of road
05. 07. 2026 09:14 CET 8 Stage continues.
05. 07. 2026 09:11 CET 8 Stage is stopped because car no. 36 is blocking the road.
05. 07. 2026 09:09 CET 8 retired (36 - Német Gábor / Németh Gergely): accident in SS 8
05. 07. 2026 09:06 CET 8 Weather in Rome is again sunny and very hot.
06. 07. 2026 22:32 CET 7 retired (12 - Charpentier Tristan / Barral Florian): civil accident on liaison after SS 7, stewards refused to cancel penalty for later arrival to TC
05. 07. 2026 09:04 CET 7 retired (117 - Üründül Efe / Piceno Denis): retired after SS 7
05. 07. 2026 06:41 CET 7 retired (11 - Stříteský Dominik / Krajča Ondřej): retired after SS 7
04. 07. 2026 19:31 CET 7 flash info (11 - Stříteský Dominik / Krajča Ondřej): We were unlucky the puncture in the beginning, but it is what it is. Yeah, we enjoyed a lot this afternoon loop. We improve and we start to understand the roads near to the Roma. Yeah, I think the pace was good and let's see.
04. 07. 2026 19:24 CET 7 flash info (18 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It's a great day, to be honest to work. It's the first time when I have time to work on the car. We are here just for work. We have some work to do, as the next tarmac event will be next year, and we need to take the time to analyse every time and the settings because we change everything on every stages.
04. 07. 2026 19:24 CET 7 flash info (6 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It doesn't matter how much you push, the time will be the same, same all the time. So, we need to think about what is going on, to be honest because the feeling increase, and the time is the same. We need to speak to somebody for some solution, let's say.
04. 07. 2026 19:23 CET 7 flash info (4 - Basso Giandomenico / Granai Lorenzo): All good, I’m happy, we’re definitely not pushing as we are used to but it’s normal, we are not in the car very often so all things said I’m satisfied with the race we are doing.
04. 07. 2026 19:17 CET 7 flash info (12 - Charpentier Tristan / Barral Florian): I think the plan for tomorrow will be to show the pace that we had in qualifying, to get back this pace, to get back with the top guys, and hopefully pushing to score some points in Power Stage.
04. 07. 2026 19:17 CET 7 flash info (26 - Avbelj Boštjan / De Guio Elia): We were pushing. The car is feeling better than before. In general, happy with this, let's say, second day of the race. But tomorrow, we will keep pushing to our maximum and let's see where we can be.
04. 07. 2026 19:16 CET 7 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): I was trying. I was pushing. Okay, I have some hopes that tomorrow's stages are the stages which we know a little bit more, and they are a little bit more like this one. And yeah, I will fight till the end, and we will try to push ourselves and do the better job stage by stage.
04. 07. 2026 19:16 CET 7 flash info (22 - Sarrazin Pablo / Roche Yannick): It was a difficult day for us, but this afternoon we did a step compared to this morning, so that was a good point. We understand something on the car. We can be happy.
04. 07. 2026 19:15 CET 7 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): No, it didn't play out. We were too slow on the first stage, saved way too much of the tyres. Second stage was a good one, and now I hesitated in some places because there was no info of gravel, and it's a surprise. It was quite high speed, a lot of crests, and hard to read the road. And strategy for tomorrow? I need to continue like that, and try to improve driving, and, but yeah, it's been a good rally until now.
04. 07. 2026 19:15 CET 7 flash info (24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): Very good. I am so sorry for Andrea because we were in a super fight, and it's always good to win on the last stage. So, yeah, we will see tomorrow because Timo is 20 seconds back but we have still four stages to go tomorrow.
05. 07. 2026 06:40 CET 6 retired (47 - Lichtenegger Maximilian / Ettel Bernhard): retired after SS 6

04. 07. 2026 19:30 CET 6 retired (73 - Dünker Colin / Decker Jonas): accident in SS 6
04. 07. 2026 18:48 CET 6 flash info (25 - Campedelli Simone / Canton Tania): I'm lost for words. There is nothing to do. It's okay. Now we just have to be focused on the national championship points.
04. 07. 2026 18:48 CET 6 flash info (7 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It was a nice stage. I enjoyed most of it. To be honest, during the recce, I expected more stones to be on the road. We tried to do our best for sure. I don't feel really good the car at the moment, so it's very difficult for me to try to push. But, yeah, at the end, I maybe missed a bit the concentration, thinking about what I can do better. And yeah, it's a long stage, so we have time to think about things. It was okay. I will try to enjoy the last one of the day and then focus on tomorrow.
04. 07. 2026 18:48 CET 6 (10 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): puncture
04. 07. 2026 18:47 CET 6 flash info (33 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): It's a really difficult stage. It's very narrow, bumpy. It's more like Barum Rally, so, yeah, a lot of pollution. So, it's not easy without the gravel crew, like I'm used to now in WRC. Fun stage, really demanding, happy to get through.
04. 07. 2026 18:47 CET 6 flash info (15 - Ragues Pierre / Pesenti Julien): Not a lot of problems. I just improve my driving to compare this morning. It's very challenging stage, but it's part of the game.
04. 07. 2026 18:18 CET 6 flash info (8 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): Near the start of the stage, up the hill in the cut, the cut is obviously getting further and further, and it just seemed like the natural line. I didn't see anything, and then just felt the impact, so. Yeah, so disappointing. Really annoyed with that one.
04. 07. 2026 18:16 CET 6 flash info (20 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): This one was very, very difficult. On the first loop, when you don't know where you go, you just go through the stage, you try to look at the grip, but there is no grip at all. You try to look at the turn, but there is a lot of trees, so you can't see the turn. You try to be fast, but you can't be fast. I was not fast. And this loop this afternoon was a bit better. I will see my boxer shorts tonight to see if they are dirty like the road or if they are not.
04. 07. 2026 18:16 CET 6 (8 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): puncture
04. 07. 2026 18:11 CET 6 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Kielar Patryk): We got a puncture. We stopped to change it, but we had very strange issues with the jack, so we just couldn't sort it out. This is not our day.
04. 07. 2026 18:09 CET 6 flash info (14 - Bulacia Marco / López Alejandro): It felt good, especially at the beginning. Then, I don't know why on the narrow section I'm losing. I don't know, it's weird because I'm a gravel driver and I had to be fast there, but okay, we are on a good pace, we are improving. We need to see our weak points and continue working.
04. 07. 2026 18:09 CET 6 flash info (21 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): Big, big moment. I have to see if we had a lot of damage or not.
04. 07. 2026 18:00 CET 6 (9 - Matulka Jakub / Kielar Patryk): puncture
04. 07. 2026 18:00 CET 6 flash info (11 - Stříteský Dominik / Krajča Ondřej): No, no, no. It's not like in the Barum. There is a lot more corners than in Barum. But yeah, the surface and the pollution is a little bit similar, but still more grip. And when you go on the pollution, you slide away. But yeah, we try to improve and find the pace. I think we improved a lot from the first pass.
04. 07. 2026 17:59 CET 6 flash info (18 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): Not difficult, to be honest. We try a lot of things and we understand some things also on the tyre. It's definitely not the same race, to be honest. And we try just to be clean.
04. 07. 2026 17:55 CET 6 flash info (6 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It was not bad. I enjoyed a little bit more than this morning, and it seems like even with two spare wheels, we were improving. So it means that probably we are going in the right direction with the setup of the car. I feel a little bit more comfortable in it. But it's okay. We have still one stage to go, and that's it.
04. 07. 2026 17:54 CET 6 (21 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): was out of road
04. 07. 2026 17:51 CET 6 flash info (12 - Charpentier Tristan / Barral Florian): We don't want to take any risk and just bring the car back.
04. 07. 2026 17:49 CET 6 flash info (26 - Avbelj Boštjan / De Guio Elia): I want to say the rhythm is very high, we are pushing al lot. There are so many cuts and so much dirty road that it's many moments when you think you will go off and it's very difficult. But I think we did quite a good stage, we improved quite a lot and I'm happy with that.
04. 07. 2026 17:49 CET 6 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): Not what we would like about the pace. I'm approaching corners not properly. I'm trying to push too much, and I'm overheating front tyres, and it's necessary to get this perception of the proper speed into the corners. And unfortunately, I haven't got it. I'm trying, but the speed is not there, and yeah, it's necessary to be focused and try on another stage and another stage, because it's possible that it will come.
04. 07. 2026 17:49 CET 6 flash info (22 - Sarrazin Pablo / Roche Yannick): It's a really long stage. It's really nice, but unfortunately this morning I was too slow in this one. Yeah, too slow in narrow section and for sure when it's the second pass you will pay.
04. 07. 2026 17:49 CET 6 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): It is quite tight, and it's a long game because the tyres are overheating quite badly, but it's same for everyone. I tried to manage the tyres better now. I think the last run was slightly better than the stage before.
04. 07. 2026 17:48 CET 6 retired (23 - Crugnola Andrea / Beltrame Luca): accident in SS 6
04. 07. 2026 17:48 CET 6 flash info (24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): We had two new tyres for this stage, so yeah, he had quite a small advantage for this one. But yeah, anyway, happy for our pace.
05. 07. 2026 14:05 CET 5 retired (106 - Moricci Paolo / Garavaldi Paolo): retired after SS 5

04. 07. 2026 18:07 CET 5 retired (19 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): technical problem - gearbox after SS 5
04. 07. 2026 17:46 CET 5 flash info (25 - Campedelli Simone / Canton Tania): I changed something on the car. It feels better, but not on the times.
04. 07. 2026 17:46 CET 5 (10 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): puncture
04. 07. 2026 17:45 CET 5 flash info (7 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It was better than what I expect. The cuts were not so much, and yeah, it was not so dirty, let's say. But yeah, I didn't feel the stage was too good. I like, this one, but it was not easy.
04. 07. 2026 17:45 CET 5 flash info (16 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): It's the fuel pump, so the fuel is not going into the engine since three kilometres to finish, so I don't know what is happening. But let's see if it's end or we can fix it.
04. 07. 2026 17:45 CET 5 flash info (33 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): It's more difficult for the tyres now. It's a bit warmer now, so it's not easy. I think we made progress in the setup, so that's better.
04. 07. 2026 17:44 CET 5 flash info (15 - Ragues Pierre / Pesenti Julien): Right now, I don't know. I'm just focused on my driving side, so I have a lot to improve, so I just focus on my side. But for sure, the guys take pleasure and that's the most important part.
04. 07. 2026 17:44 CET 5 flash info (8 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): That's good, to be honest. I said to Liam, I wouldn't be surprised if we lost a chunk in there, because I just tried to completely change my driving style. I'm just trying to save the tyres, and feels like you're going so slow, so, yeah, it works.
04. 07. 2026 17:44 CET 5 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Kielar Patryk): A lot better, I would say. The feeling is similar, more pollution, but I was expecting even more. We are trying.
04. 07. 2026 17:43 CET 5 flash info (11 - Stříteský Dominik / Krajča Ondřej): We had a good rhythm. There was some pollution on the road, some stones, I was careful to not have another puncture here. And yeah, we enjoy a lot. We tried to be clean, smooth, and let's see on the next one.
04. 07. 2026 17:43 CET 5 flash info (18 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): The car is okay. Now it's okay, to be honest. No we can start to work.
04. 07. 2026 17:43 CET 5 flash info (6 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): We tried to put the car a little bit harder, and it seems like it's a little bit better. The time is the same of this morning, but the stage is not that fast, and we are on six-tyre strategy, so it means that we have more weight to carry on. But, yeah, it's okay.
04. 07. 2026 17:43 CET 5 flash info (4 - Basso Giandomenico / Granai Lorenzo): The feeling is better.
04. 07. 2026 17:42 CET 5 flash info (12 - Charpentier Tristan / Barral Florian): There's no strategy when you're 15 minutes behind.
04. 07. 2026 17:42 CET 5 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): There are some improvements, but yeah, I struggled in the last kilometres with the understeer, and it was hard for me to push much more because it was really tough for the tyres.
04. 07. 2026 17:41 CET 5 flash info (23 - Crugnola Andrea / Beltrame Luca): I think we still have the same problem as this morning. We improved for sure, we improved the setup. But we still need to work to fix some problem.
04. 07. 2026 17:41 CET 5 flash info (22 - Sarrazin Pablo / Roche Yannick): I felt pretty bad. We need to understand, we need to continue to improve the car, to improve myself, and we will see. Next one I need to be more focused than this morning.
04. 07. 2026 17:40 CET 5 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): I play long game. Let's see if it work or not, but it's extremely hot. There is no tyre that can take this heat and demand. But let's see over the loop.
04. 07. 2026 17:40 CET 5 flash info (24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): To be honest, I expect more difference. There was some places where it was more slippery this morning, especially where there was the pollution. And, yeah, now it's very hot, so I hope not to stress too much the tyre, and let's see in the next one.
04. 07. 2026 18:07 CET 4 retired (58 - Otto Nicolas / Magalhães Hugo): retired after SS 4
04. 07. 2026 13:39 CET 4 flash info (25 - Campedelli Simone / Canton Tania): They are flying. Honestly, looks like I had a good run. For sure the road is much more dirty. That's true. But six seconds is half a second per kilometre. We have to be realistic. We don't have it at the moment.
04. 07. 2026 13:39 CET 4 flash info (7 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): I feel good. Unfortunately, I'm not happy at all with our pace. I'm completely unhappy about that, but I'm enjoying the stages and I'm having fun. Unfortunately, I expect on this kind of stages to be a bit faster. That's the truth. But also, in the previous stage, I really felt that I can't keep the pace and stay safe. So I have to reset a bit and try to go through the stages as fast as I can.
04. 07. 2026 13:38 CET 4 flash info (16 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): I was struggling quite a lot, moving, sliding a lot. And also inside the car, it's quite an expensive sauna, and sadly, there is no air condition. It will be a tough afternoon, I think, because the heat will be even higher, and also there are much more stones now after a lot of cars passing by, so I think you need to be clever to really run smooth.
04. 07. 2026 13:38 CET 4 flash info (33 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): It's not been easy for us. Struggling with finding the grip. I think we are lacking a bit of grip in the front. But otherwise, yeah, it's extremely tough with the heat.
04. 07. 2026 13:38 CET 4 flash info (15 - Ragues Pierre / Pesenti Julien): A little bit off the line and I lose the rear, and we stuck in the mountain. We lost time, but we are here and we can enjoy the rest of the day.
04. 07. 2026 13:38 CET 4 flash info (8 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): Understeer central. On a flat out left-hander down the hill there, just saw the bale on the outside of the road. I'm sure everybody's saying the same thing. Everything's just cooked at this point of the loop. But, yeah, I guess we're in the mix. There's a jump to, the really fast guys, but I think it's been an okay loop. That's quite a different stage to the rest of what we've seen. So, yeah, plenty to sort of review now before the next loop.
04. 07. 2026 13:37 CET 4 flash info (20 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): I tried to attack because this one was more clean, without dirty places, only one, so it was easier for me. But just depends on my road position, and our road position depends on the qualifying stage, and I was not very fast on the qualifying stage, so that's why I'm here. That's why I am slow.. But that's not so bad. We are in Rome, we just miss, I think, Julius Caesar.
04. 07. 2026 11:55 CET 4 flash info (19 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Morning was quite good, especially with our position. We had much dirty places and for sure the tyre also is different to everyone, so we cannot really compare to the fast guys on the front. But at least we get some experience and working with the car. But so far, I really enjoy these bumpy roads. Somehow I just have the good memories from the past from Barum Rally.
04. 07. 2026 11:50 CET 4 flash info (14 - Bulacia Marco / López Alejandro): This one we try to push a bit, but I think the car is a bit too soft. We will see if we can improve it for the afternoon. Also, myself, I need to improve quite a lot with pace notes, especially on the dirty places.
04. 07. 2026 11:46 CET 4 flash info (21 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): That's so difficult. I was too clean.
04. 07. 2026 11:46 CET 4 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Kielar Patryk): Not easy. Not a good pace from us, not a good rhythm. Here was, from the feeling, a bit better, but yeah, the last part, it was feeling like a puncture on the rear, so yeah, let's see.
04. 07. 2026 11:46 CET 4 flash info (11 - Stříteský Dominik / Krajča Ondřej): I will try. Let's see. On the second stage this morning, I cannot find the rhythm. But it is what it is. Here, we feel much better. We try to push, but still stay on the safety side, but I think the time is good.
04. 07. 2026 11:46 CET 4 flash info (18 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I don't know what is the problem. It's only when the inside of the corner is slippery. But we try to work, to be honest. I am a bit frustrated when you see the time, but we are here for work and no better place for that.
04. 07. 2026 11:45 CET 4 flash info (6 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): We are improving a little bit. Probably, I didn't make the perfect decision in terms of setup, but now we are improving, so it means that we are going in a correct way. But we are understanding a little bit more on this stage, and it seems like it's a little bit better in terms of time. But this afternoon is going to be a little bit more difficult, I would say, especially the second one already plenty of the rocks were moving.
04. 07. 2026 11:44 CET 4 flash info (4 - Basso Giandomenico / Granai Lorenzo): We struggled in this first loop of stages. I am not driving as I normally do, maybe it's because I am not racing so often, but I am nevertheless happy.
04. 07. 2026 11:44 CET 4 flash info (26 - Avbelj Boštjan / De Guio Elia): At the beginning we hit one rock, rear left, and I thought we got a puncture.
04. 07. 2026 11:43 CET 4 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): There is some issue. There are some moments where there are big cracks and I don't hear Simon, and then directly after, everything is okay. But it's hard, especially on the new, long stages, to be in the proper focus.
04. 07. 2026 11:43 CET 4 flash info (23 - Crugnola Andrea / Beltrame Luca): My feeling is not very good. The downest section was quite bad, talking about the rhythm. So we just need to work a bit harder and try to, let's say, find a better pace, because in some sections we are fast, some sections we are quite slow, so I'm not happy.
04. 07. 2026 11:42 CET 4 flash info (22 - Sarrazin Pablo / Roche Yannick): It was a difficult morning for us, clearly. We did not know why. For sure the first one was my fault, but in this one I pushed like yesterday, so, I don't know.
04. 07. 2026 11:42 CET 4 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): Not great, but we had small things there, so that's something to learn. First time of this type of section, so I think we know.
04. 07. 2026 11:41 CET 4 flash info (24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): Yeah, I felt good. The last part we lost, I think, a few seconds because we had some very big sliding, so I think that maybe we ended up the tyres because the mileage was very long. So, hopefully also the other drivers had the same issue in the last part. And, yeah, we tried to do our best in that stage until the last kilometre we were doing a good job. So, yeah, anyway, happy for the morning loop, and very good time for Andrea in the previous stage, and we continue like this.
04. 07. 2026 14:49 CET 3 (40 - Manderla Matěj / Vichtora Ondřej): puncture
04. 07. 2026 13:44 CET 3 retired (100 - Nucita Andrea / Messina Maurizio): retired in SS 3
04. 07. 2026 13:42 CET 3 Stage continues.
04. 07. 2026 13:42 CET 3 Stage is stopped because of accident of car no 85.
04. 07. 2026 13:41 CET 3 retired (85 - Ledda Valentino / Mele Claudio): accident in SS 3
04. 07. 2026 11:47 CET 3 retired (81 - Hakalehto Aatu / Heino Niklas): accident in SS 3
04. 07. 2026 11:08 CET 3 flash info (10 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): Very difficult stage, very slippy.
04. 07. 2026 11:07 CET 3 retired (32 - Marchino Filippo / Kihurani Alexander): accident in SS 3
04. 07. 2026 10:49 CET 3 flash info (25 - Campedelli Simone / Canton Tania): We have a couple of moments. Honestly, I don't know. I'm trying, but sometimes there happens something on the driving that puts me down the confidence. But for sure, I'm struggling, I'm not on the pace. I'm trying, but the other guys are doing a better job than us.
04. 07. 2026 10:41 CET 3 flash info (7 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It was not an easy stage. I struggled from the beginning, and I felt that I cannot keep a good rhythm. But, yeah, that's it. I will try to make it better the next, the second pass.
04. 07. 2026 10:40 CET 3 flash info (16 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): We struggled a lot here, to be honest. It was not, not a good stage for us, sadly, but, yeah, that's part of the game. We have to find at least some solution to be faster, so let's see.
04. 07. 2026 10:40 CET 3 flash info (33 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): It's so polluted, like, almost every corner, and it was so slippery, it was very difficult, so not a good run from our side.
04. 07. 2026 10:40 CET 3 flash info (8 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): When you get onto the wide road after, I don't know, 20km of narrow road pushing on the car, you just have to keep the reins on. It's easy on the long corners to run out of road, so. Again, a bit like the first stage, just trying to manage it.
04. 07. 2026 10:27 CET 3 flash info (20 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): It's not very fast. This is not the best time.
04. 07. 2026 10:27 CET 3 flash info (19 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It's just the road when you start to have a lot of stones and pollution. I feel a little bit like in WRC because in WRC, the guys in the front all the time cutting everywhere. I feel that the guys here start to be on the top level by cutting everywhere where it's possible.
04. 07. 2026 10:27 CET 3 (15 - Ragues Pierre / Pesenti Julien): was out of road
04. 07. 2026 10:26 CET 3 flash info (14 - Bulacia Marco / López Alejandro): It was really difficult. The middle part was really slippery, and we took it very cautious.
04. 07. 2026 10:26 CET 3 flash info (21 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): It's good news because I feel really slow, but no, it's okay. Honestly, if we do that all week, that's really a great week. But we'll see, but that's good, that's good.
04. 07. 2026 10:16 CET 3 flash info (12 - Charpentier Tristan / Barral Florian): We just went out and we got stuck in the ditch and then we got puncture. It's not what we wanted. We'll see if we can continue because I'm not sure we can with the car, it's a bit broken.
04. 07. 2026 10:15 CET 3 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Kielar Patryk): It was really hard to get the rhythm, to avoid the surprises which you can't avoid with the pollution, with some big rocks on the road. It was very hard.
04. 07. 2026 10:10 CET 3 flash info (11 - Stříteský Dominik / Krajča Ondřej): I absolutely lost my rhythm and I cannot find it for a long time, then I was struggling a lot. But yeah, it is what it is, I will try to improve in the afternoon.
04. 07. 2026 10:09 CET 3 flash info (18 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): Something is broken on the differential, I think. I cannot keep the line and sometimes. Sometimes it's good, but it depends on the corner, but something is broken on the differential.
04. 07. 2026 10:09 CET 3 flash info (6 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It was okay. Probably we made not the best run ever, especially on the top of the mountain. We lost a lot of time there, I think. But, yeah, it's okay. At least there were many rocks in there and we didn't catch anyone, so it's okay.
04. 07. 2026 10:09 CET 3 (12 - Charpentier Tristan / Barral Florian): puncture
04. 07. 2026 10:07 CET 3 flash info (4 - Basso Giandomenico / Granai Lorenzo): I can’t drive the stage as I would like to, stage was tricky, in some parts we were really cautious but that’s how it is.
04. 07. 2026 10:01 CET 3 flash info (26 - Avbelj Boštjan / De Guio Elia): We think in the middle of the stage that we had a puncture. We lost quite a lot of time, but okay.
04. 07. 2026 09:59 CET 3 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We are fighting all the time in the intercom. Between 7 and 12 kilometre, I did not hear at all. We have some problem.
04. 07. 2026 09:56 CET 3 (12 - Charpentier Tristan / Barral Florian): was out of road
04. 07. 2026 09:55 CET 3 flash info (23 - Crugnola Andrea / Beltrame Luca): I'm not 100% satisfied about our stage. Of course, the time looks good. We need to wait for the guys behind. But I'm pretty sure that we can do slightly better, so we have to improve.
04. 07. 2026 09:55 CET 3 flash info (22 - Sarrazin Pablo / Roche Yannick): The loose bonnet was not the problem here. I was too safe. It's really now a really difficult stage. And I was too safe. I don't have excuse.
04. 07. 2026 09:55 CET 3 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): Yeah, a lot of surprises, a lot of gravel in the places, so, not very easy.
04. 07. 2026 09:54 CET 3 flash info (24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): It is very dirty in many places. We have some sliding moments, but yeah, polluted in many places for sure. Starting first can be good in some places, but in others a bit less. So, yeah, we can do something better also on this stage, but it's very hard and we need to keep focus also on the second loop. That we will see a different road. So yeah, now we'll see the time of others.
04. 07. 2026 13:44 CET 2 retired (122 - Denizci Keskin Kübra / Deveci Kerem): retired after SS 2

04. 07. 2026 09:44 CET 2 Stage is stopped and red-flagged.
04. 07. 2026 09:44 CET 2 retired (37 - Constant Louis / Martini Maxime): accident in SS 2
04. 07. 2026 09:24 CET 2 flash info (7 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): I made a mistake. I'm not sure about which one it was, if it was a pace note in the recce or I didn't understand what is coming next, but I expected the right corner to be a bit more tight. Luckily it was a good one to make such a mistake because it was just some grass on the exit.
04. 07. 2026 09:23 CET 2 flash info (16 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): There have been so, so, so many huge stones on the road that sometimes we hit them with the straight of the car, and we jump from the stone to somewhere else. So, yeah, it was a really difficult stage. Sometimes you just don't took the line because there have been so many huge stones. So probably the time wouldn't be so good, but to be honest, I'm happy that we are here.
04. 07. 2026 09:17 CET 2 flash info (33 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): It's getting warmer now. I thought the tyres would last a little bit longer, but yeah, they got warm towards the end. So, yeah, it took some time to get into the driving as well. So, hopefully next stage will be better.
04. 07. 2026 09:17 CET 2 flash info (15 - Ragues Pierre / Pesenti Julien): No big moment, for sure. When we see the time, we must to improve, to push more.
04. 07. 2026 09:17 CET 2 flash info (8 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): I don't know if I cooked the front tyres a little bit too much before the wide road. Yeah, I was expecting to have a bit more precision down the last 10km, and for sure, I just felt like I was trying to drive slower to manage it. So, yeah, there was more time in there. We just gotta try and figure out how we find it.
04. 07. 2026 09:16 CET 2 flash info (20 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): It was not so bad. A bit dirty at the beginning, some pollution with the cuts, a lot of cuts, big stones some places, so I tried to avoid this. I was not in perfect in this kind of condition because it's too much risk for the puncture and for the crashes So I was fast, but not too fast.
04. 07. 2026 09:16 CET 2 flash info (19 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I think it is a good time compared to the place where we are, because it's much more polluted than I watched on Rally TV before the start. So, in the beginning, okay, it was quite tricky, I think, for everyone. But last part is more tricky. I was not expecting the pollution there, so it was in the last part more feeling like no pace.
04. 07. 2026 09:16 CET 2 flash info (14 - Bulacia Marco / López Alejandro): It was pretty okay. The last section, which had very long corners and middle to high speed, I think I'm struggling quite a lot there. The pace is not good there, we need to improve with watching the onboards, so yeah, we need to continue like this.
04. 07. 2026 09:15 CET 2 flash info (11 - Stříteský Dominik / Krajča Ondřej): We had a puncture on the rear left. I don't know where, it just happened. It is what it is. It's a shame, but it's part of the game for everybody.
04. 07. 2026 09:15 CET 2 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Kielar Patryk): The beginning was quite tricky. A lot of pollution already. I thought I had a puncture going into the wider road. Overall, it was hard for me to get a good feeling.
04. 07. 2026 09:15 CET 2 flash info (18 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I went too soft, to be honest. It's like that. We tried to continue. I tried to keep the tyre on the stage, but we are too soft for this stage, to be honest.
04. 07. 2026 09:14 CET 2 flash info (6 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): I tried to drive clean, but it seems like it's not working. It's like it is, not good at all.
04. 07. 2026 09:14 CET 2 (11 - Stříteský Dominik / Krajča Ondřej): puncture
04. 07. 2026 09:14 CET 2 flash info (4 - Basso Giandomenico / Granai Lorenzo): It was so so.
04. 07. 2026 09:13 CET 2 flash info (12 - Charpentier Tristan / Barral Florian): I was not focusing, and yeah, we lost time there for sure, and there's a lot of time. But I think it was overheating. I had like so much understeer. It wasn't so easy, but, you know, it's first stage.
04. 07. 2026 09:13 CET 2 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): I would say that the grip was higher than I was expecting, especially I think in the final part, like six, eight kilometres, it was possible to push more. I need to adapt to the grip and try to raise my pace.
04. 07. 2026 09:13 CET 2 flash info (22 - Sarrazin Pablo / Roche Yannick): We had a problem with the bonnet, just at the start. I don't know why. It opened and I can see nothing. So it was really difficult to manage my speed.
04. 07. 2026 09:12 CET 2 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): Some cutting, some dirt, some rain have been in previous days, so some gravel on the stage, so it was tricky.
04. 07. 2026 09:12 CET 2 Weather in Roma is sunny, temperature is very hot.
04. 07. 2026 09:06 CET 1 retired (98 - Lupu Ciprian-Daniel / Aițculesei Andrei): didnt start to rally
04. 07. 2026 09:05 CET 1 flash info (42 - Peralta Juan Carlos / Pérez Couto Víctor): We had a mistake on the last roundabout, but it happens.
04. 07. 2026 09:05 CET 1 flash info (41 - Lüth Joep / van Heun Bart): It was the first time, but we make a small mistake with the donut. So we had to go a little bit back. Ready for tomorrow.
04. 07. 2026 09:05 CET 1 flash info (40 - Manderla Matěj / Vichtora Ondřej): Crazy, but the atmosphere is great. It's pretty scary within the concrete blocks, but we loved it.
04. 07. 2026 09:04 CET 1 flash info (39 - Mosca Adrien / Amblard Julie): Not the easiest exercise to come back to tarmac, but okay, everything is good. We had a very good test, very good recce. The rally is beautiful.
04. 07. 2026 09:04 CET 1 flash info (38 - Gîrtofan Andrei / Pulpea Dorin): Amazing. This place, this moment. My first ERC for me, here in Rome, it's wonderful. I'm so grateful for everything what happened for me and my team, and I want to thanks to MRF team for my tyres, for the opportunity, all my sponsors, and I'm so, so happy to be here.
04. 07. 2026 09:03 CET 1 flash info (37 - Constant Louis / Martini Maxime): For us, it's the first time, but yes, the race is tomorrow, and let's see what we can do.
04. 07. 2026 09:03 CET 1 flash info (36 - Német Gábor / Németh Gergely): Usually the city stages are not for, not for me, especially the lights was a little bit disturbing, but we passed through without any problem.
04. 07. 2026 09:03 CET 1 flash info (34 - Blach Roberto / Sosa Daniel): It's amazing, the atmosphere here in the Colosseum, it's amazing. I lost a lot of time here because I can't see nothing in the start of the stage with the flashes. I lost a lot of seconds, but okay. I think that the real rally starts tomorrow.
04. 07. 2026 09:02 CET 1 flash info (33 - Johansson Mille / Grönvall Johan): It's really a technical stage. It's not my favourite, but it's a cool place, so we're enjoying.
04. 07. 2026 09:02 CET 1 flash info (32 - Marchino Filippo / Kihurani Alexander): I mean, no words. Truly no words. Second to marrying my wife and my daughters, a highlight. True highlight. Unbelievable. The fans here are top-notch.
04. 07. 2026 09:02 CET 1 flash info (31 - Ceccato Vittorio / Tiraboschi Stefano): That is amazing. It's the second time for us here in Rome, and we are not so young. It's really amazing, really amazing. The team is giving me a super car, and then we hope to do a really good race tomorrow.
04. 07. 2026 09:01 CET 1 flash info (22 - Sarrazin Pablo / Roche Yannick): It was okay. The plan was to take no risk, clearly, because it's like a really, really dangerous stage. It's good for the fan, but less for us. But it's okay, tomorrow we start P3 after an amazing quali. We'll try to push like this morning on tomorrow and Sunday.
04. 07. 2026 09:01 CET 1 flash info (21 - Pelamourgues Arthur / Pouget Bastien): Was I trying to warm the tyres on the straight by weaving around? Yeah, exactly. Did it work? I don't know, it's in my mind. That's better like that.
04. 07. 2026 09:00 CET 1 flash info (20 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): I think it was not the perfect choice with my special shoes, but the tyre choice now is better than my shoes.
04. 07. 2026 09:00 CET 1 flash info (16 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Well, that's not bad. It's better than I expected. It was an amazing stage with amazing atmosphere of spectators and whole Rome. It's such a beautiful, beautiful scenery, and thanks to organisers, they made this happen.
04. 07. 2026 08:59 CET 1 flash info (15 - Ragues Pierre / Pesenti Julien): It's a nice stage, beautiful one. We try to don't take any risk, but at least like the other guys. But no, we enjoy. Tomorrow it's a beautiful day.
04. 07. 2026 08:59 CET 1 flash info (14 - Bulacia Marco / López Alejandro): This was very difficult because the tyres were really cold. On the first braking of the chicane, we locked the tyres and it was a bit scary moment.
04. 07. 2026 08:59 CET 1 flash info (12 - Charpentier Tristan / Barral Florian): I don't care about the time because I didn't stall at the donuts, and this is a massive thing because donuts, I'm always missing the donuts, and this, I didn't miss so much, so I'm really happy.
04. 07. 2026 08:58 CET 1 flash info (18 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): Sometimes you imagine in your life something in your dream, but to be here on the front to Colosseum, as an official driver to Lancia, it's a nice atmosphere. I remember my holiday with my family here when I was just a student or a child, and when you can live that, you can say thank you to all the guys who support me during all my career.
04. 07. 2026 08:58 CET 1 flash info (11 - Stříteský Dominik / Krajča Ondřej): It was fun doing some donuts for the spectators. We enjoyed a lot and let's see tomorrow.
04. 07. 2026 08:58 CET 1 flash info (19 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It's a learning process also. I'm surprised the time is good because in one braking I was too early. It feels quite okay on this one, with the balance with the car, so it was doing itself. But it's historical to drive on Lancia near Colosseum.
04. 07. 2026 08:57 CET 1 flash info (10 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): It's clean. A little bit surprised, the grip is very good. But yeah, it's nice to see a lot of people. This is a very nice stage.
04. 07. 2026 08:57 CET 1 flash info (30 - Boulenc Benjamin / Barozzi-Gauze Chloé): It is amazing to drive in front of the Colloseum. It's great. Thank you.
04. 07. 2026 08:57 CET 1 flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Kielar Patryk): Usually I don't attack these stages because you can make easily a mistake. And in this situation when we stand with the car three hours and start with the cold tyres, it's a lot harder. So, steady run, not a good donut, but it's okay.
04. 07. 2026 08:57 CET 1 flash info (29 - Sulpizio Liberato / Fenoli Manuel): Ah, is a beautiful, beautiful stage. Thank you.
04. 07. 2026 08:56 CET 1 flash info (8 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): Okay, we dropped quite a bit, but, you know, when it feels like the eyes of the world are watching you, you just want to get through, and it's all about being neat, and it's more difficult to do that sometimes. But, yeah, to do the run around Rome tonight, do this in front of everybody, in front of the Colosseum, it's a huge thanks to Stellantis Motorsport and Rally Academy, everybody's supporting us to allow Liam and I to be here. So, yeah, we'll try and work hard tomorrow, enjoy it, and, yeah, see what we can do.
04. 07. 2026 08:56 CET 1 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It's interesting for me because many years ago I was quite good on Mickey Mouse stages, but some of the stages were not easy for us. But I think this year we are driving after a little bit more number of cars than usually, and it was a little bit better grip. I was trying to be quite smooth. It's good.
04. 07. 2026 08:56 CET 1 flash info (27 - Andolfi Fabio / Menchini Marco): This stage is beautiful because for me it's very important to be in the front of Colosseum.
04. 07. 2026 08:56 CET 1 flash info (7 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): To be honest, it's not so tricky here. Tricky will be for sure tomorrow. But, yeah, unfortunately, I don't think it's a good time for me. I expected to be a bit more fast. But I don't know what happened. When I tried to change after the second, the first chicane, I want to put the third gear, and I saw that the lever is a bit blocked in the front. So when I pulled to put the third gear, it entered the fourth gear. But I knew that it will happen because I saw the gear lever. That's it. In a stage like this, these kind of things are important, and I think I lose a bit of time there. But I normally like this stage, so I'm happy to be here also this year.
04. 07. 2026 08:55 CET 1 flash info (26 - Avbelj Boštjan / De Guio Elia): Last year we had a power stage here, but this year you can win little but lose a lot, so we take it a little more easy and, yeah, the feeling is good.
04. 07. 2026 08:55 CET 1 flash info (6 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It was a good run. We need to enjoy at the maximum this situation because it happens once per year to be in front of the Colosseum. And we need to thank, of course, the organisation of Rally Roma Capitale because of this is simply crazy. It was a good run, of course. We enjoyed it, and now it starts the difficult job tomorrow.
04. 07. 2026 08:55 CET 1 flash info (25 - Campedelli Simone / Canton Tania): We enjoy it. We started on a really, really cold tyre. It could have been very dangerous kilometres. But it's okay, it's just the beginning.
04. 07. 2026 08:54 CET 1 flash info (5 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): It's wild. It's actually wild. Just going here, the organisers doing such a great job closing almost the whole city down, and you feel like this, this kid from the farms in Torsby at home, it's crazy. But yeah, nice to have started the rally. Last time we did one of these stages on stone cold tires, I spun, so we are making progress.
04. 07. 2026 08:54 CET 1 flash info (24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): Good. Tricky in some places. We can do for sure something better, but we did, I think, a lovely donut. So I think that's mostly of the time that we gained is for that. And, yeah, hope for a stage win, but anyway, the race is tomorrow. But happy that we did a good stage time in front of this crazy and incredible colosseum.
04. 07. 2026 08:54 CET 1 flash info (23 - Crugnola Andrea / Beltrame Luca): Quite a big mistake in the chicane. It wasn't the best run. Could have been better, but okay. We'll see the other guys for sure. With the rubber down, they will be faster.
04. 07. 2026 08:53 CET 1 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): That was amazing to drive here. A lot of people, relatively okay stage. I was a bit careful with the stone cold tires. We've been standing like two hours, three hours on there, so it was quite slippy at the beginning, but for sure it will get slightly better.
04. 07. 2026 08:53 CET 1 Weather in Rome is really hot, temperature almost 40°C.
04. 07. 2026 08:49 CET QS retired (35 - Delecour Eliott / Gordon Fabrice): retired after QS
04. 07. 2026 08:48 CET QS (35 - Delecour Eliott / Gordon Fabrice): broken right front tyre
04. 07. 2026 08:48 CET QS flash info (25 - Campedelli Simone / Canton Tania): It was ok. In one corner I went wide and we are lucky to be here as we went over the ditch. It was a big one.
04. 07. 2026 08:48 CET QS flash info (24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): I don't know, because the previous lap seems good, so happy that we improved a bit. Now, yeah, let's focus on the race and we will see time of others behind us, and, yeah, quite happy.
04. 07. 2026 08:48 CET QS flash info (23 - Crugnola Andrea / Beltrame Luca): It could be the right road position. We need to wait for the guys coming behind. Let's see.
04. 07. 2026 08:47 CET QS flash info (22 - Sarrazin Pablo / Roche Yannick): It is ok. It is not a clean run. It is shame as I did a little bit of a mistake.
04. 07. 2026 08:46 CET QS flash info (20 - Bonato Yoann / Boulloud Benjamin): This one was not easy. It was a bit dirty some places, especially at the end, so I was a bit careful. So I have to be careful this weekend. Why is that? Because I have a French championship after this weekend, and if I crash the car this weekend, I stop my championship. So, it's not a joke this time.
04. 07. 2026 08:46 CET QS flash info (19 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Quite slippery, there was too much pollution, compared even to the second pass, so, not really nice, but okay.
04. 07. 2026 08:46 CET QS flash info (18 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I did the maximum, to be honest. I slide a lot, and when you have a lot of pollution, I have no, the car don't turn.
04. 07. 2026 08:45 CET QS flash info (16 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): I didn't know that it was my 100th start. There you go. Oh, thank you a lot. So that means I'm old. I was struggling a bit with the setup, but anyway, I think when I saw the onboards, everyone is struggling a little bit on this stage, and it will be completely different than tomorrow, and completely different than the day after. So, yeah, I think a lot of changes are coming now for us about the setups on the rally. It will be difficult for everyone, but beautiful for everyone.
04. 07. 2026 08:45 CET QS flash info (15 - Ragues Pierre / Pesenti Julien): The feeling is great. When the race starts, just to focus on my driving. But for sure, it's a great event for us, for the federation, for all the guys, but we try to enjoy. The stage was very, very well, very beautiful one, so we enjoy it. That's it.
04. 07. 2026 08:45 CET QS flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): My target was to be P5 because there might be some loose gravel dust on the road, so... But it's so difficult to, like, decide what time to do because you don't know what others are doing.
04. 07. 2026 08:44 CET QS flash info (12 - Charpentier Tristan / Barral Florian): It was a lot more dirty than in shakedown. In some places it was a bit on the edge, We lost in the last corner as it was dirty. It was pretty ok. We did a good stage.
04. 07. 2026 08:44 CET QS flash info (11 - Stříteský Dominik / Krajča Ondřej): It's not the, not the target for us to win the quali. I try to stay calm, don't make a mistake, and we control the time, because I don't want to go in the top five for the tomorrow. And yeah, tomorrow start a tough rally, and we will see.
04. 07. 2026 08:44 CET QS flash info (10 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): It is not an easy weekend. It will be a very hard time. This stage was very slippery.
04. 07. 2026 08:44 CET QS flash info (9 - Matulka Jakub / Kielar Patryk): The feeling was not bad. I was not expecting this much pollution. A few places took me by surprise.
04. 07. 2026 08:43 CET QS flash info (8 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): It is difficult with the dirt on the road. It can go wrong easily. It was quicker than the previous runs. I can see there is bit more but it is better than being in the armco.
04. 07. 2026 08:43 CET QS flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): Great. I would say the grip level was lower than on second pass. We had some two or three actions, which is good because I was confident and I was pushing. For sure should be two seconds faster, but it's okay. Tough weekend in front of us. It's necessary to connect like all of our experience on tarmac because it's really mixed race and have a cold head because the European Championship is really open and everything can happen.
04. 07. 2026 08:43 CET QS flash info (7 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It is not what we expect for Rome rally but we will try to enjoy as much as we can.
04. 07. 2026 08:42 CET QS flash info (6 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It was difficult stage to be honest. It seems like the WRC driver don't like to stay on the road so they cut everything. Not easy beginning but it is not that bad.
04. 07. 2026 08:42 CET QS flash info (5 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): It is really cool these are the guys that I have been looking at a lot on tarmac. To get the chance to learn from them is amazing.
04. 07. 2026 08:52 CET SHAKEDOWN retired (76 - Buteikis Markas / Čapkauskas Titas): accident on shakedown
