Information

Date and time SS Information
04. 10. 2026 15:11 CET 17 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It has not sunk in just yet. I was quite sure it was over. I threw everything at it. I feel for Oliver. I have a lot of people to thank. I can't believe it said. It is ever over until is over.
04. 10. 2026 15:07 CET 17 (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): was out of road two corners before finish
04. 10. 2026 15:07 CET 17 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was a nice era. I'm not so emotional it was amazing car but not the peak of what we reached in my era. I think 2017 car was the best.
04. 10. 2026 14:59 CET 17 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I gave absolutely everything on that last stage. I tried to maximise this rally and the chapter with these cars. I have been super lucky to be in a position to drive these cars. We have had quite a nice season no matter how it ends up. Nine podiums and three wins and stage wins every rally after Monte Carlo. We have come a long way. We are not giving up. Let's see what the future brings us.
04. 10. 2026 14:56 CET 17 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It has been a good four seasons in Rally1. I have been learning a lot. I did not get what I wanted, my first win. I will always remember Saudi last year. With no win and to be close to everyone shows how well we have gone. Thanks for the team for the last two years. We will see for the future.
04. 10. 2026 14:51 CET 17 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm pretty sure it won't be enough. I'm pretty sure we overdrove. I'm not giving up but I'm being honest. It seems like we are back in the same situation.
04. 10. 2026 14:46 CET 17 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We had some nice moments this year. I must say a huge thanks to the whole team. This weekend was not my weekend. Both Elfyn and Oliver deserve the title.
04. 10. 2026 14:38 CET 17 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It has been good to have a clean weekend and the strongest result we have had so far. It has not been and easy year. This was a rally to show we can build a weekend. Big thanks to M-Sport, Jon Coyne and Motorsport Ireland and co-driver Shane.
04. 10. 2026 14:34 CET 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know what to say. Super disappointed for the weekend. It is over. It has been very tough. I need a little break. Thank you to the team they did amazing. I think we should be there next year but In don't know how and when. I'm sure we will find some opportunities with Hyundai to run some car.
04. 10. 2026 14:30 CET 17 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It has been an incredible two and half years. I never thought I would be driving a Rally1 car. It has been great. It has been very tough most of the time I hope we can work towards something.
04. 10. 2026 13:57 CET 17 Rally1 cars will start with 5 min gaps.
04. 10. 2026 13:57 CET 17 Starting order: McErlean, Sesks, Neuville, Armstrong, Katsuta, Evans, Fourmaux, Pajari, Ogier, Solberg
04. 10. 2026 13:07 CET 16 retired (41 - Domżała Aron / Kuśnierz Michał): accident in SS 16
04. 10. 2026 13:07 CET 16 retired (29 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): accident in SS 16
04. 10. 2026 13:06 CET 16 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): We do our very best, till the end. Earlier I had a disadvantage starting in the back, hopefully not an issue this time. Wishing it was a normal stage. We're gonna go all-in.
04. 10. 2026 13:06 CET 16 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): We still try to push. The bumper was already gone on the previous stage. We tried to have a good stage.
04. 10. 2026 13:05 CET 16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We could see it coming along a fast corner with a lot of stones. I eased the speed right off and I went as clean. We will try on power stage.
04. 10. 2026 13:04 CET 16 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Now it was a nightmare. If you have to fight for the world championship this stage - good luck!
04. 10. 2026 13:04 CET 16 (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): puncture
04. 10. 2026 13:03 CET 15 retired (66 - Tilocca Giuliano / Musu Fabrizio): retired in SS 15
04. 10. 2026 13:03 CET 15 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Tricky stage. First time ever for me doing this, not easy, but good fun. Seems like it's getting slower and slower, more rutted. We have to do our best today and for Power Stage I hope it's not too rutted the further back we go. I'm not the one stressed, Elfyn is. I just need to enjoy.
04. 10. 2026 13:03 CET 15 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's not a surprise, never really liked this stage and it's not gonna change today. I just want to be safe because i'm not in any fights, the rest is just the consequence of that.
04. 10. 2026 13:02 CET 15 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Really so slow? Okay. That's quite interesting. I had quite a nice run, actually enjoyed it. We just need to keep going and do what we can.
04. 10. 2026 13:02 CET 15 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's a very sandy stage. Always nice to see the downhill and sea in the background, but no time to enjoy that, enjoy the driving instead. A clean stage from me. Enjoying the last kilometres in this car.
04. 10. 2026 13:01 CET 15 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It is difficult to say. It is very messy in there that is for sure. It is hard to say what the performance level of the stage is. I'm trying l'm not sure it is enough.
04. 10. 2026 13:01 CET 15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is a short stage but still tricky enough. It was not too bad. The second pass will be probably a different conditions and hopefully not bad.
04. 10. 2026 13:01 CET 15 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): Obviously we knew that Thierry was gonna go fast because he's won a few rallies in this stage. Obviously very sandy and where we can improve is to be more efficient in the slow corners. It'll be very rutted in the second pass. Nice to finish on the beach.
04. 10. 2026 13:01 CET 15 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Obviously the team did a big job yesterday to repair the car. We got some alarms on the dash in the first stage and some smoke came into the cockpit. We decided to stop but it seems to be fixed now, so everything ok.
04. 10. 2026 13:00 CET 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Today was about getting to the finish and having some fun in that stage. I have never been that much all over the place. I was enjoying it. Let's see what we can do on the Power Stage and bring a bad season to an end.
04. 10. 2026 13:00 CET 15 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Maybe this one wasn't too bad. It is sandy and slippery but it was quite clean. It will be quite rutted I guess. for the second pass. I have only done this stage in a Rally4 car before I remember the second pass it was tough to get up the hill.
04. 10. 2026 13:00 CET 14 retired (67 - Šekuljica Slaven / Glad Goran): retired after SS 14
04. 10. 2026 12:59 CET 14 retired (24 - Rossel Léo / Mercoiret Guillaume): retired after SS 14
04. 10. 2026 12:58 CET 14 retired (58 - Lorenzato Alex / Lazzarini Nicolò): retired in SS 14
04. 10. 2026 12:58 CET 14 flash info (27 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Started okay, but I think then we snapped a drop link in the rear. Distracted with that and had an overshoot.
04. 10. 2026 12:58 CET 14 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Something sees to be wrong. There is a lot of smoke in the cabin.
04. 10. 2026 12:58 CET 14 flash info (21 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): A lot of loose rocks and really difficult. Keeping the focus where you have to, avoiding all these rocks. Easy run and luckily we're here.
04. 10. 2026 12:57 CET 14 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was nothing special. Better towards the end. Tried to be clean. So many rocks, puncture risk is so high. Avoided many rocks so performance wasn't so great. It was clean. Ogier needs to speed up a bit to catch Elfyn.
04. 10. 2026 12:56 CET 14 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): There is a lot of loose rocks on the line so I didn't want to take any risk.
04. 10. 2026 12:56 CET 14 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I don't know. We need to do everything we can today. It is all in now.
04. 10. 2026 12:56 CET 14 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): If you don't know what sweeping means - cleaning effect - I think if you come to this stage you understand. So much loose on the top, but at the same time so much fun. All the wide parts are very nice and then the lower sections are low grip with many rocks. I had a beautiful jump over one corner on tarmac. Brilliant!
04. 10. 2026 12:56 CET 14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was ok. It is extremely loose and so sandy. I don't know if it was right tyre choice or not. I just missed my line ever at a hairpin ever so slightly.
04. 10. 2026 12:55 CET 14 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is very loose and rocks everywhere. I really hope nothing bad happens to my team-mates.
04. 10. 2026 12:55 CET 14 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): There is so much cleaning. The layer of gravel on top of the road is so thick. Not a spectacular run but I just tried to be steady.
04. 10. 2026 12:55 CET 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It has been a very stressful season for them. I hope it is not decided on any punctures and it is about pure speed and driving. I couldn't see the line on the last section. It was all over the place.
04. 10. 2026 12:54 CET 14 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I think it is has been one of the stages with the most cleaning I have ever had. The first downhill section was pure loose stones. I took it very steady. You are braking in places where you normally wouldn't.
04. 10. 2026 12:52 CET 14 (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): stopped in stage with technical issues, continue
04. 10. 2026 12:52 CET 14 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): before leg: I believe I need to go flat out. I think it's not only us. There are a few more people also included, and also some others who want to win this rally. So I think the level of risk taking tomorrow is quite high. Anything can happen.
04. 10. 2026 12:51 CET 14 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): before leg: I've said all weekend. I can only do the best I can and do everything I can. But the objective is clear, to take 10 points and after the Power Stage, we will see what happens. Elfyn has a load of pressure tomorrow too. He needs to really push and anything can happen to him too. He hasn't really pushed all weekend yet and you never know who gets what.
04. 10. 2026 12:51 CET 14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): before leg: We're still here now, at least, and we have it all to play for. The road position is not ideal. The first stage is probably the worst for cleaning and another one position in front would have helped our case, but it is not to be. Obviously we have got to go all in or nothing.
04. 10. 2026 01:25 CET 13 retired (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): retired after SS 13
04. 10. 2026 01:25 CET 13 retired (57 - Vassilakis Georgios / Harryman Allan): accident in SS 13
04. 10. 2026 01:24 CET 13 retired (44 - Granados Miguel / Martí Marc): accident in SS 13
04. 10. 2026 01:24 CET 13 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): For me that is the pace when I don't look at anything. It is very hard to understand these tyres. I tried to be smart but it is not working. I think we have the pace to be much better than fourth. We can still get a podium the minimum reward I would say.
04. 10. 2026 01:24 CET 13 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I just tried to my thing and enjoy it and have fun. This afternoon I was a bit more careful but I enjoyed it in there. So far we are doing a great job. We will do our job and see what happens.
04. 10. 2026 01:23 CET 13 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It has been a dramatic two stages. We were lucky to start and get everything sorted on the road section.
04. 10. 2026 01:23 CET 13 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): This one was not so enjoyable. It was quite rough in the forest. The first one was the nicest one. It was good fun to drive the car. It has been a good loop for us. There is still some long stages to go tomorrow with rough sections, so nothing is done. Beating Oliver will be difficult but we will see.
04. 10. 2026 01:23 CET 13 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is always a special feeling when you have the last round of the championship. We are not quite in the top fight so you do what is left. We are still in the game and there is one day to go. At least we are safely through.
04. 10. 2026 01:23 CET 13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I don't know how things are. Of course now we have to try and change the strategy a bit. Let's see if it is enough. Adrien will not be far away. I don't think it will be straightforward tomorrow. Today has been a tough day to try and hang in there with Oliver going so fast at the front We have a long way to go. We have a tough day tomorrow. It is still wide open.
04. 10. 2026 01:22 CET 13 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): I was saying it was really tough as it was super sandy. I tried to survive and get through. It was a clean day for us so that is goal ticked. We will try and see what we can do tomorrow.
04. 10. 2026 01:22 CET 13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Unfortunately we are now opening the road so it is not so fun. I still enjoy the driving. It is hard to drive in this condition.
04. 10. 2026 01:09 CET 13 Start will be delayed for 24 minutes.

04. 10. 2026 01:18 CET 12 (38 - Martell Conner / Gelsomino Alex): was out of road
04. 10. 2026 01:17 CET 12 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We had a puncture and I did not feel any impact to be honest.
04. 10. 2026 01:17 CET 12 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Yes, I'm doing everything I can but the others don't.
04. 10. 2026 01:16 CET 12 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was very sandy and there were some rocks in places. It was a tricky stage.
04. 10. 2026 01:16 CET 12 (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): puncture
04. 10. 2026 01:16 CET 12 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): That was quite rough and maybe the worst of the rally. I'm happy to go through.
04. 10. 2026 01:16 CET 12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It is tricky on this soft sand. It is unpredictable and very rough. I tried to take it easy.
04. 10. 2026 01:15 CET 12 (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): water pressure alarm
04. 10. 2026 01:14 CET 12 (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): was out of road
04. 10. 2026 01:14 CET 12 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It was very difficult. We had hards on the front and softs on the rear. It was difficult tyre choice to make this afternoon. I was getting some bad understeer in the rallycross section. Overall we we're still ok.
04. 10. 2026 01:13 CET 12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): There is no traction at all. It is horrible.
04. 10. 2026 01:09 CET 12 Start will be delayed for 24 minutes.
04. 10. 2026 01:12 CET 11 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It is a very good fight with Seb for now. It is going to be difficult to catch him but there is always things happening in Sardinia. I'm sorry for Thierry and team. I will stay focussed.
04. 10. 2026 01:12 CET 11 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Neuville needs to keep his position so we can fight I'm relieved in one way and I'm not in another.
04. 10. 2026 01:12 CET 11 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It is the most beautiful stage of the weekend so we tried to enjoy it.
04. 10. 2026 01:11 CET 11 retired (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): accident in SS 11
04. 10. 2026 01:11 CET 11 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Once again we are fastest so far but that is nothing new. I need to see how this loop will be. Normally Saturday afternoon is tricky and lots of things can happen.
04. 10. 2026 01:11 CET 11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It has been frustrating day so far. Now it is a case of trying to get through clean.
04. 10. 2026 01:10 CET 11 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It has been an ok stage.
04. 10. 2026 01:10 CET 11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Am I first on the road? It was quite slippy.
04. 10. 2026 01:08 CET 11 Start will be delayed for 24 minutes.
04. 10. 2026 01:07 CET 10 retired (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): technical problem - steering after SS 10
04. 10. 2026 01:06 CET 10 retired (24 - Rossel Léo / Mercoiret Guillaume): retired after SS 10
04. 10. 2026 01:06 CET 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's getting more and more loose. More and more sand, just wheelspinning. I had a good stage. Take it back? Hopefully a bit more line in similar conditions, but overall I'm sure we can stay in the fight with Oliver. He will go all-in and we're gonna see how it works.
04. 10. 2026 01:05 CET 10 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I think there's still seven stages to do, so there's time. Struggling in the narrow places, missing front potential. Not easy to drive. Happy with my pace in this stage. Morning? A shame for the puncture, but others were quite nice to drive. Stages are quite interesting.
04. 10. 2026 01:05 CET 10 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Happy with the car. A bit careful sometimes. A tricky stage, didn't want to take any risks and have a rhythm. Let's see what Thierry does. Tried to stay clean and do my best. Happy with the rear of the car, follows all the time, specially in the narrow parts. First half was not good for me, second was better.
04. 10. 2026 01:04 CET 10 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): We've seen the story all morning, the road is getting quicker. Seeing where to go between the trees is tricky, in one place I had a bit of hesitation.
04. 10. 2026 01:04 CET 10 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): In a way it is nice to have something new. It is very different to what we have had recently. It is what it is. I'm not giving up and not backing off. We need to see what is possible. It seems impossible to match the times what they're doing a few cars after.
04. 10. 2026 01:04 CET 10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Obviously a technical stage, not easy. Keeping the car in the middle of the road, that's it really. Title fight? A bit out of my control a bit I feel with the road cleaning so much. Not realistically gonna catch anybody in front, gotta stay clean for now.
04. 10. 2026 01:04 CET 10 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It was a bit messy from our side. It was hard to find rhythm. This will be interesting in the second pass. We had a half spin to avoid a tree.
04. 10. 2026 01:03 CET 10 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It is good. It is what we like to see. It is going to clean. It is so narrow and you have to drive in the middle of the road as possible. I made a couple of damper clicks change to make the rear more predictable.
04. 10. 2026 01:03 CET 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is a very tricky stage. There is so much sand. It is slippy everywhere.
04. 10. 2026 01:03 CET 10 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I was sitting at the start line for 26 minutes. The one thing is to say to the spectators, do what the marshals say and keep behind the lines. We don't want to sit in the car waiting.
04. 10. 2026 01:01 CET 10 Start was delayed for 43 minutes.
04. 10. 2026 01:00 CET 10 Start will be delayed more.
04. 10. 2026 00:55 CET 10 Start will be delayed for 17 minutes.

04. 10. 2026 00:58 CET 9 retired (30 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): accident in SS 9
04. 10. 2026 00:58 CET 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is ok. I was fighting my glasses all the way through. I was a bit disturbed. It is getting more sandy and hard to get the traction. The rally is still long. I'm quite relaxed honestly.
04. 10. 2026 00:57 CET 9 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We will try to catch Ogier.
04. 10. 2026 00:57 CET 9 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was horrible stage from my side. It was really bad. I'm not happy. It is ok. I need to do more.
04. 10. 2026 00:57 CET 9 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Car by car it is getting faster. We had a good run but it [the road] should improve.
04. 10. 2026 00:57 CET 9 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It was quite an ok stage. There is not too much more I can do. We are not giving up but we are not playing too safely. Car by car it is getting faster and faster. I don't know what we can do.
04. 10. 2026 00:57 CET 9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was very soft in there. It was not the best run. I was fighting a bit instead of carrying the speed, but ok. There is still a long way to go.
04. 10. 2026 00:56 CET 9 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): In places it is obviously cleaning. It is tricky at the end with the surface being quite hard. It is nice to be fastest through so far.
04. 10. 2026 00:56 CET 9 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): This is another learning curve. The feeling is a bit tricky this morning. The car is always moving. It was an ok run. We can do better.
04. 10. 2026 00:56 CET 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is very slippy. It was quite a tricky stage. The second pass could be quite rough as well.
04. 10. 2026 00:56 CET 9 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): This one was really tricky with the road conditions. The last part looked very abrasive so I tried to be clean and save the tyres for the final stage.
04. 10. 2026 00:54 CET 9 Start was delayed for 17 minutes.
04. 10. 2026 00:53 CET 9 Start will be delayed.

03. 10. 2026 18:15 CET 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Obviously I'm disappointed for Adrien. It would have been a nice battle with him and intense. It is not easy with these punctures.
03. 10. 2026 18:15 CET 8 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I have nothing to say.
03. 10. 2026 18:14 CET 8 (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): puncture
03. 10. 2026 18:14 CET 8 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): For sure there is chance for title shot. There is still a lot of rocks everywhere and I was still a bit scared of the loose rocks. It is the first time for me doing this stage. It wasn't a good stage but it was clean.
03. 10. 2026 18:14 CET 8 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I think it is still going to get quicker. It was ok. I had to back off quite a bit in one section in the dust. I was thinking Sami had stopped or something. The podium is far but we need to enjoy the drive.
03. 10. 2026 18:13 CET 8 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I tried to do a good stage. I might not be the only one complaining about the dust. It is not so straight-forward conditions anyway. We just need to improve.
03. 10. 2026 18:13 CET 8 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I wouldn't go that far, was it a push? It was ok. There are things we could do better still. There was some patches of pretty bad dust especially in the middle there. It was difficult to see. It wasn't so easy.
03. 10. 2026 18:12 CET 8 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): There was so much dust and I couldn't see. I thought Jon had a puncture as there was a lot of dust. It could have been a lot better.
03. 10. 2026 18:12 CET 8 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It was so sandy so it was difficult to get a clean line. We had some dust in some sections I didn't know if someone was just in front of us. First time in the stage so it was quite fun to drive it.
03. 10. 2026 18:11 CET 8 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is very slippy. I just try to find a feeling for tomorrow. Hopefully a better day today.
03. 10. 2026 18:10 CET 8 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Not a good start. I'm not feeling myself. Normally in the fast sections I feel very good but here not really. But it was slippery. Many things were happening.
03. 10. 2026 18:10 CET 8 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Sáiz Patricia): I can't continue like this. It is really painful. On the braking it feels like I have something broken. I couldn't drive. There is a lot of pain in my back and my side.

03. 10. 2026 07:40 CET 7 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): Much better afternoon, I am enjoying the driving, I feel I am driving proper but so many places we can improve. Not a bad day overall.

03. 10. 2026 07:37 CET 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I was there, our tyre management and our tyre choice paid off. So I was at the moment tempted to make a similar choice to Fourmaux, but at the end I was pretty confident that my feeling was the good one, and I'm happy with that. But anyhow, good for Hyundai and for Adrien as well, so it's a nice battle, and hopefully, yeah, we can continue tomorrow. It's a bit of work to do to get me still more comfortable in the car. I feel like I can drive fast, but I still miss this person I was before to push hard and just be more relaxed. At the moment I'm stressing a bit too much.
03. 10. 2026 07:37 CET 7 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Very pleased with the day, we started off strong. I think good also for the team, good tonight.
03. 10. 2026 07:36 CET 7 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Yeah, I had a bit of a challenge for motivation for sure.
03. 10. 2026 07:36 CET 7 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Yeh, it was ok, I was happy.
03. 10. 2026 07:36 CET 7 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): There was one narrow lonely line there, which I really tried to follow. But yeah, I think overall today we did pretty much what we could have done. It's still two more days to go, and I hope we are ready for the fight.
03. 10. 2026 07:35 CET 7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We're here. Let's see. I guess tomorrow will be the test how are we going to respond to the road position.

03. 10. 2026 07:35 CET 6 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Sáiz Patricia): I enjoyed it. I tried to be nice and clean but it was not fast.
03. 10. 2026 07:35 CET 6 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I don't know what is working well. We are driving. It has been ok in the circumstances. It show how high the level is. Two months out of the seat is not so much it is only two rallies but it is very much. You cannot be 100% when you are not 100%.
03. 10. 2026 07:34 CET 6 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is ok. It is so hard to manage the rough section and you are taking a lot of impacts. Let's see what we can do in the next one.
03. 10. 2026 07:34 CET 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I'm focussing on myself at the moment. I was just trying to manage the tyres a bit more in here. It was little bit of surprise to see the tyre wear in here as it was more than we expected. We should be good for the last one.
03. 10. 2026 07:34 CET 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is frustrating but is not getting frustrating any more. It is getting like normal.
03. 10. 2026 07:33 CET 6 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): puncture
03. 10. 2026 07:33 CET 6 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I had a very good stage on the first one. I knew on this one there was a lot of bad sections with rocks. I really went around the rocks. I didn't want to get any puncture. I'm doing my own rally as I said and it is working well.
03. 10. 2026 07:33 CET 6 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Oliver had a good push. It is hard to push in there. It is just a lottery. I just tried to survive.
03. 10. 2026 07:33 CET 6 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I took it easy on the first one earlier. I was very scared of punctures. I was a bit more back to normal in here. It was an ok stage. I thought I had a puncture for a while but towards the end it was fine. It was nerve wracking all the time. I'm looking at the dash too much for tyre alarms.
03. 10. 2026 07:32 CET 6 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): The condition is what it is. It is rough and still there is a cleaning effect on the seocnd pass. I think we did a fairly good run. I need to keep pushing. The risk is really high whether you push or try to be clean and safe.
03. 10. 2026 07:32 CET 6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm struggling quite a bit in there. I'm not able to find a good feeling at all especially with the rear. I'm fighting a lot. The gaps to Oliver and Sami are less than I thought.

03. 10. 2026 07:31 CET 5 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Sáiz Patricia): The stage was nice. It was really demanding and really hot inside. I'm struggling with my back from yesterday so I didn't take any risks over the jumps. It is ok. It is good to have a 1-2-3 for the team and the deserve much more.
03. 10. 2026 07:31 CET 5 (20 - Virves Robert / Viilo Jakko): puncture
03. 10. 2026 07:31 CET 5 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): We changed set up and now I'm much more happy. I can drive more like I want to. It was quite a ride in there.
03. 10. 2026 07:30 CET 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is hard to say. The soft is an all rounders and it is always working. It was quite rough in there and the hard didn't feel that bad. There was a bit more understeer in places. I had a good rhythm and I was enjoying it.
03. 10. 2026 07:30 CET 5 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was expected that it was going to be demanding for the tyres. It was a reasonable stage. We are playing the long game.
03. 10. 2026 07:30 CET 5 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It is really rough. I was going around the stones as much as we can, but it s not easy to know where they are.
03. 10. 2026 07:30 CET 5 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I took it quite so easy towards the end as it was so rocky and there was lot of bedrock. I tried to look after my tyres in there. It was nothing special in there.
02. 10. 2026 12:52 CET 4 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Sáiz Patricia): It is very difficult. We try to get some motivation. I felt really bad in my side after yesterday. The first stage was good but then we had a puncture. We will do our best but it is not going well in the rally.
02. 10. 2026 12:52 CET 4 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): For us there was a big big stone in there. We messed up with the set up. It was very bad and then after the puncture I was slow.
02. 10. 2026 12:51 CET 4 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): The stages are so rough I think you need to have a bit of luck. There was something over the crest and there was a bang on the left. It doesn't matter puncture or not I'm struggling to drive.
02. 10. 2026 12:51 CET 4 (20 - Virves Robert / Viilo Jakko): puncture
02. 10. 2026 12:51 CET 4 (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): puncture
02. 10. 2026 12:51 CET 4 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is not as bad as I thought halfway through. The surface is getting quite polished at the end. It is hard to understand. Let's see what the afternoon can bring. This stage wasn't so bad. I expected worse on the previous one where Ogier got the puncture. Not so good.
02. 10. 2026 12:50 CET 4 (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): puncture
02. 10. 2026 12:50 CET 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I lost some time in Katsuta's dust. The visibility wasn't great in some places. We lost a little bit of time in some sections but it is ok.
02. 10. 2026 12:49 CET 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Nothing new. It was a puncture that's it.
02. 10. 2026 12:49 CET 4 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): That was quite an interesting stage. There was some places where I was quite careful. It was a positive morning.
02. 10. 2026 12:49 CET 4 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): puncture
02. 10. 2026 12:49 CET 4 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): After the puncture this morning I juts drive to drive normal again. As far as cleaning in there, I definitely think some of the guys could be quicker behind. It was a clean run, nothing special, but I just try to drive as good as I can really.
02. 10. 2026 12:48 CET 4 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It's quite tricky. When it's super solid road surface and just dust on top, it's, like, zero grip. So yeah, that's all we can do. At least I'm faster than Elfyn, but I'm a bit worried that it's not enough.
02. 10. 2026 12:48 CET 4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Bit of a surprise. It didn't feel like that bad a run, but of course, it feels super slippy.
02. 10. 2026 12:48 CET 4 Start of stage will be delayed for 10 minutes.
02. 10. 2026 12:11 CET 4 Start of stage will be delayed for 5 minutes.

02. 10. 2026 12:46 CET 3 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Sáiz Patricia): It was good at the start but we had puncture from stone in a corner. When we were changing the wheel there was a problem with the bonnet, one support came down. Honestly I want to finish.
02. 10. 2026 12:45 CET 3 flash info (20 - Virves Robert / Viilo Jakko): The feeling is not great to be honest. I'm struggling quite a bit. I will just try to get through.
02. 10. 2026 12:45 CET 3 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It was ok. It was not good but alright. We could have been more optimistic, but we're here to play a bit on the safe side. Still a bit rusty, so not a big difference I guess.
02. 10. 2026 12:45 CET 3 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It's just driving on sand for the most part. So the grip that you have is changing on the front through different corners, and when you get onto the loose sand sometimes it gives you a little bit of understeer. So not so easy to be neat and tidy. I would say it's not going so well at the moment in terms of rhythm, but we're just trying to take it easy.
02. 10. 2026 12:45 CET 3 (6 - Sordo Dani / Sáiz Patricia): puncture
02. 10. 2026 12:44 CET 3 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is probably the nature of the stage that is helping us at the minute. Let's see if we can get way with softs in the next one.
02. 10. 2026 12:44 CET 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a clean stage, but the first stage we recced and the most difficult one. The pacenotes were a bit too slow and once I realised it's consistent I was able to raise the speed. When it gets more rutted and more consistent ruts, it's more comfortable. Trying to stay as clean as possible in the lines.
02. 10. 2026 12:44 CET 3 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was not very comfortable let's say. It was not clicking. Not pushing. Need to find something.
02. 10. 2026 12:44 CET 3 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We really try to be smooth on the driving in some places to really avoid the risk of puncture, but there were so many bad rocks, loose rocks in some places, so it's not easy. I'm happy with my pace, and how I manage the tyres for now.
02. 10. 2026 12:43 CET 3 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's a shame that the world championship have to deal with things like this.
02. 10. 2026 12:43 CET 3 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was ok, nothing special. It was little bit more sandy. There was no dust in here. In the previous stage there was no damage on my tyre at all. At least this one wasn't too bad.
02. 10. 2026 12:43 CET 3 (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): puncture
02. 10. 2026 12:43 CET 3 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It's loose. In a way I felt like I wasn't moving forwards, but it's the feeling with the car starting at the front now. Dust? Much less in this one.
02. 10. 2026 12:42 CET 3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I think probably likely to see much more cleaning in here, obviously much more traditional Sardinian base with a very loose top layer. So not the easiest start there.
02. 10. 2026 12:11 CET 3 Start of stage will be delayed for 5 minutes.

02. 10. 2026 12:16 CET 2 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Sáiz Patricia): It was really good today with the car. Hopefully because yesterday was a mess. There was a lot of dust in the stage. I take a little bit careful. It was nice.
02. 10. 2026 12:15 CET 2 flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I was very, very slow. I drive like a grandma. That happens when you're not driving for two months. It's okay, but of course I think if we would have full seasons and things like that, then we would get experience. I think we would do much, much better. Ten seconds in there, or 14 seconds that's easy. I just need more kilometres to do it.
02. 10. 2026 12:15 CET 2 flash info (95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It wasn't too bad. It was good to get through. Obviously it's our first time doing this stage, and we have all four tyres. So towards the end it was very, very sandy, so it was probably dropping some time there. But overall it's just good to get through, and it's a really demanding rally.
02. 10. 2026 12:15 CET 2 flash info (55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): We just don't know how much the soft tyre will last. So yeah, slightly concerned about that side, but I don't know what they are like now. What was it like otherwise, the driving through there? It's okay. It's quite messy towards the end a bit with the soft gravel where it's been repaired, but first half is okay, but struggled a bit a bit towards the end.
02. 10. 2026 12:15 CET 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay. There was no risk in here. It's getting more and more sandy in some sections, so it was hard to get the hairpins. I was really struggling with some hairpins where I lost some time, but generally it was okay. It is the first stage of the rally, and honestly there was zero risk.
02. 10. 2026 12:14 CET 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was a steady start and nothing special. Quite rough and soft in places. Just wanted to get through without any problems.
02. 10. 2026 12:14 CET 2 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I have a plan today, so I want to stick to it, but first of all I want to enjoy, drive fast, and let's see what we can bring. So actually I had a very good stage. It's not easy, but it's very, very tricky. The dust is also not really giving confidence. So it's very difficult. Some places I have to brake, I don't see. So it's a tough one, but I really wanted to be tidy and optimise the time, so I'm happy. We are there.
02. 10. 2026 12:14 CET 2 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's difficult, mainly with the dust because clearly many places you don't see much where you go, so it's tricky with that.
02. 10. 2026 12:13 CET 2 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I lost a lot of time on that puncture, but there was so much dust in the stage too, so I drove really, really bad, to be honest. I didn't see a rock but I felt it.
02. 10. 2026 12:13 CET 2 (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): puncture
02. 10. 2026 12:13 CET 2 flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It was quite ok. It was very slippy conditions and there was still some dust and sometimes I needed to slow down for the dust. I hope it's getting worse, we're doing massive cleaning now.
02. 10. 2026 12:13 CET 2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's a bit tough, of course. I was a little on the careful side, but still it feels pretty hard on the car. It was clean enough otherwise. I think with everything, with the road cleaning and the wear, and the fitting zone after the next one, we went with one spare, but let's see how we go.
02. 10. 2026 12:10 CET 2 Start of stage was delayed for 5 minutes.

01. 10. 2026 17:01 CET 1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm feeling alright at the moment. I would say I'm looking forward but I think tomorrow will be tough. We are here too drive like usual and try and do a good job even though it will be quite challenging. To win the title you have to drive well. We are not in a position to cruise around here.
01. 10. 2026 16:55 CET 1 flash info (99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): The goal is simple but to achieve it is different story. 35 points is what I need to get. I will do my best and try to stay out of trouble. After a roller coaster season somehow I'm still in the fight.
01. 10. 2026 16:52 CET 1 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It is only short start but it is nice to see so many people. It is great way to start the weekend. Tomorrow will be very different and slippery, hopefully the dust won't be an issue.
01. 10. 2026 16:47 CET 1 flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It is going to be a tough weekend. Very excited to do stage like this with lots of people here. Now we are facing a very difficult event this weekend. We need to be very steady.
01. 10. 2026 16:43 CET 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure it is going to be a very challenging rally. It always is here. Hopefully we won't have so much dust tomorrow morning. It is nice to drive here and let's try to have a good rally.
01. 10. 2026 16:38 CET 1 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Sáiz Patricia): We made a small mistake in the shakedown but thanks to the mechanics they repaired the car. We will try to compensate with a good rally.
