Information

Date and time SS Information
26. 07. 2026 18:00 CET 15 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): Quite high, quite high, I must say. Rally Poland was quite tricky with lots of changes on the grip level. I would say on the paper, maybe one of the trickiest rallies for me, and I managed to jump inthe new car with some short tests. But I was enjoying the car all the time and enjoying driving, so big, big thanks for the team. And they have managed to make an excellent car for me, which fits my driving style. And big thanks for the Antti also, because my schedule has been quite busy and haven't been able to prepare as I want.
26. 07. 2026 17:51 CET 15 flash info (8 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): Oh, that sounds amazing. Honestly, it feels amazing. Thank you to my great team, to my family, to my fans, to my partners. We did a really good job here. Teemu was untouchable here. Okay, the difference was not big, but just too consistent and too fast. Very big confidence boost, of course, for me after not the best two last rallies, so really, really happy.
26. 07. 2026 17:51 CET 15 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): I'm very happy. I would like to thanks a lot to all spectators and I would like to congratulate a lot Polish crews because we showed the power. Of course, Teemu Suninen is world-class level and he showed it during this weekend. But excellent performance from Jakub Matulka. They were really perfect through all the weekend. Big congrats. We can be also happy that Adrian, who is 19 years old, he is pushing. Our legend Kajto was fast, we were also trying, and I hope it was a good show for all Polish spectators and we were doing everything to fight. And finally, it's good to come back for the podium place, but still there are some points to improvements in our driving. But in total, thank you very much.
26. 07. 2026 17:46 CET 15 flash info (3 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): That's too much again. I caught an anti-cut somewhere because we had a massive risk, but we are here in one piece. So that's the main thing, and I think we made our maximum. This race was unbelievable. We pushed through the race all the time. Maybe we missed some pace in some parts, but we must be happy about our job. I want to thank all the people supporting us, and I think we have something inside that is incredible because we never give up. We never give up anywhere, everywhere. So we must be proud of what we are doing.
26. 07. 2026 17:46 CET 15 flash info (14 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): Amazing atmosphere, as you see. Thank you for all of them, for my family, for my team, for my co-driver, for my engineers, of course, for the sponsors and spectators. Thank you for your support, you are amazing. This one was just for the finish, we are not fighting for the extra points, so I was cruising, but anyway, that was an enjoyable weekend.
26. 07. 2026 17:43 CET 15 flash info (7 - Bulacia Marco / Murado José): Yeah, it was a really good weekend for us. Normally, people don't understand why South American drivers are not so used to tarmac. It's because we barely have tarmac in the cities down there, so it's really difficult for us. But, yeah, right now we are very happy. We are now back on pace. For sure, the next rally, Barum, will be my first time, but I think I will enjoy it.
26. 07. 2026 17:40 CET 15 flash info (18 - Rzeźnik Adrian / Kozdroń Kamil): Life is crazy, like, it's my first time I drive like here, but big thanks for all team, big thanks for my co-driver.
26. 07. 2026 17:39 CET 15 flash info (17 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): We are happy. We're competing with professional guys. That's why I'm very happy to be in top ten. On this stage we hit a road sign, so it was, you know, fighting to the end, yeah. But I'm happy and I want to thank you, my sponsors, my team to be here, and thank you very much. Thank you for all spectators who were cheering for us.
26. 07. 2026 17:39 CET 15 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Well, I tried absolutely everything possible, to be honest now. Yeah, it was a huge fight. Let's see who's faster in the millisecond, but yeah, it was a nice race. I have to really be thankful to my team, for sure, all the partners, MRF tyres, and definitely my family, my girlfriend, and everybody who was involved, because it was such a nice race.
26. 07. 2026 17:39 CET 15 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): The rally started really well, really strong, and then we just lost a little bit of pace and struggled to get that back today. But we've made some changes and I think we discovered some things that are helping, and that's helping the feeling inside the car, and really enjoyed the last couple of stages there.
26. 07. 2026 17:38 CET 15 flash info (4 - Reiersen Isak / Gustafsson Stefan): I'm pleased. Result is one thing, but the feeling I've had in the car in this event is something I never experienced before on tarmac. So, we are making huge steps forward and really grateful for everyone who is helping me be here. It's tough work, really tough work. So, thanks to everyone and hope to see you in Barum.
26. 07. 2026 17:38 CET 15 flash info (15 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): It's just to get a finish. Obviously we weren't near the pace the whole rally, but, yeah, that's, you have to accept that, I suppose. I really loved that last stage. Still kicking myself over that mistake, but, I enjoyed it. Really good rally, well run. Absolutely love this rally. Class, enjoyed it. Hopefully maybe next year we're a bit quicker.
26. 07. 2026 17:28 CET 15 flash info (21 - Sroka Adam / Kielar Patryk): A lot of fun, maybe not always, but it was very, very good weekend. Unfortunately, we didn't show our pace because we can't do much more. But it is like it is, and I wasn't pushing on this stage because my wife asked me to be safe at home, so I was just chill driving here.
26. 07. 2026 17:28 CET 15 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): For sure, it's not easy when things happen like that, but I don't know what to say about this. I tried during the rally, in the stages, to make the best as I can. For sure, the concentration sometimes is not easy to keep if things like that happen. Anyway, I just want to thank MRF for the opportunity to drive here in Poland, in this fantastic rally. And yeah, all my partners are always with me, so about that I am sure that they are proud of what we did together.
26. 07. 2026 17:23 CET 15 flash info (10 - Charpentier Tristan / Jamoul Renaud): Our tyre choice was not the best during the weekend, so we deserve this result.
26. 07. 2026 17:23 CET 15 flash info (24 - Vatanen Ville / Ojala Joonas): The feeling is unbelievable. My first tarmac win in ERC, so it's something special. And with this kind of rally, really tricky, a lot of like fast corners, and a lot that is new for me, but we are here, no mistakes, and it's good that we are here. Big thanks for my team, of course, and my sponsors, and the family and my co-driver.
26. 07. 2026 17:23 CET 15 flash info (41 - Heindrichs Tom / Schmitz Jonas): Really, really happy. It was a hard weekend, really bumpy, but yeah, I think at the end we just stayed clever, calm and cool. And this is what made this weekend, because Aatu was making some pressure, and yet, yeah, he had a different approach, he had nothing to lose, but yeah, we managed it well, and I'm really happy. But I also have to say it was, yeah, a difficult weekend, as you may have seen, Marcel Neulinger who crashed. And he was still in my mind because, yeah, this is also, this is motorsport and it can be really dangerous. And I just really hope him, or, yeah, just wish him a good recovery and hope it's not too bad.
26. 07. 2026 16:24 CET 15 Starting order: Heindrichs, Vatanen, Charpentier, Tempestini, Koltun, Sroka, Allen, Reiersen, Creighton, Cais, Szeja, Rzeźnik, Bulacia, Kajetanowicz, Mabellini, Marczyk, Matulka, Suninen
26. 07. 2026 15:44 CET 14 retired (35 - Chorbiński Michał / Chrzanowski Adam): accident in SS 14
26. 07. 2026 15:42 CET 14 (10 - Charpentier Tristan / Jamoul Renaud): puncture
26. 07. 2026 15:42 CET 14 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): We'll see if I will push for power stage points. I don't know. I need to see the feeling on the stage and see if we have a correct package there or not.
26. 07. 2026 15:38 CET 14 flash info (3 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It's frustrating because we were pushing the limit and then we are not able to stay on the pace. I don't know what to say, I think I put my maximum and that's the main thing. It's going to be very difficult going to the power stage with this time, to keep up the podium, but it is like it is, nothing that I can do.
26. 07. 2026 15:36 CET 14 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): We are trying to improve the setup, to be honest on this one. Like I told you before, it's a bit more bumpy. I preferred how it was in the car in the first pass, in the previous one. But I wanted to change something to be sure that it was good before. We try to keep a good rhythm.
26. 07. 2026 15:36 CET 14 flash info (8 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): Nothing, still one to go.
26. 07. 2026 15:33 CET 14 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): This one we were more ecomeptitive. Changes work here well. Yeah. For sure I'm trying. We are not on world-class level above the pace here, and there are some ups and downs on the stages, and to win on such a level it's necessary to be consistent. But I appreciate that I'm trying.
26. 07. 2026 15:32 CET 14 flash info (14 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): Because of them. My wife is here, my friends and my children. The biggest motivation in the world.
26. 07. 2026 15:32 CET 14 flash info (17 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): It's hot inside, very hot. So believe me, like ebing in a sauna, 180 kilometer per hour, and you are sitting in sauna with this uniform, that's not easy job to do, but one more to go.
26. 07. 2026 15:32 CET 14 flash info (7 - Bulacia Marco / Murado José): We will keep the same rhythm. We are on the safe side. We are here to do all the kilometers. Now I can say that we are on the pace on tarmac. The previous two races we were going step by step, but from here on now on, we can start to be fast here in tarmac. So, yeah, one more to go.
26. 07. 2026 15:32 CET 14 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): We made an improvement in there. I really enjoyed the stage. Really, really good fun.
26. 07. 2026 15:31 CET 14 flash info (18 - Rzeźnik Adrian / Kozdroń Kamil): This stage is crazy for me, really similar to Barum for me. It's my opinion. Keep fingers crossed for us, and go to the finish.
26. 07. 2026 15:31 CET 14 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): It was not an easy stage and we tried to push because we know William and Philip, are quite close, but I can see that something happened to Philip. So sorry for that, and, but yeah, I really tried to push and now one more stage, so we need to stay focused because it is definitely not gonna be easy.
26. 07. 2026 15:31 CET 14 flash info (22 - Német Gábor / Németh Gergely): We try to stay positive and we really want to get to the finish.
26. 07. 2026 15:30 CET 14 flash info (15 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): I just wanted to get one decent time on the board in this rally, I spun at the second corner. I had slippy in the notes on it the last time and I took it off. I obviously shouldn't have.
26. 07. 2026 15:30 CET 14 flash info (4 - Reiersen Isak / Gustafsson Stefan): We've been running soft all day, and it seems to be working, and I'm grateful for that when a stage like this. To be running a stiff car here, much, mostly challenging. But yeah, it's a nice stage. I love it. It's crazy. You just trust your pace notes a hundred percent, and it's going flat, and it's just bouncing, you can't see barely. It's crazy.
26. 07. 2026 15:30 CET 14 flash info (21 - Sroka Adam / Kielar Patryk): Very good. We forgot a little bit to soften the car, so it was very bumpy like a ping-pong sometimes, but it was pure fun.
26. 07. 2026 15:17 CET 14 (15 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): spun
26. 07. 2026 15:05 CET 14 (15 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): was out of road
26. 07. 2026 14:35 CET 14 Stage is shortened from finish for 600 m.
26. 07. 2026 15:05 CET 13 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): It was slightly easier. We was able to comfortably drive through the stage without any big risks and extend the lead a bit.
26. 07. 2026 15:05 CET 13 flash info (3 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It's like every other stage. It's flat out. You must run your hundred percent and at the end we are speaking about tenths of a second. So it means that it's like circuit racing. I think that I have a lot of friends running in circuits, and they're speaking all the time about tenths per lap. They must run sometimes these kind of stages and see at the end how it is.
26. 07. 2026 15:04 CET 13 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): Yeah, it's really difficult to, let's say, have a real fight pace on the stage, but at the same time, when you are in the car and the stages are so nice, you have sections where you like to push, let's say. I'm trying to do different things to the car to try to feel a bit better, speaking about the setup point of view. And for sure, I hope I do some show for the fans where I can. And yeah, it's good to get soem experience. I really like this rally. Two years ago, we had a good run. Unfortunately, it ended up with a little technical problem, which was another, let's say, story. And this year again in the Sunday morning, it was a bit different. But yeah, I'm happy and I'm enjoying it.
26. 07. 2026 15:04 CET 13 flash info (8 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): Hard to say if I have more speed. I think we are driving good. Few mistakes here, but it seems that it's a good time. Let's see about Andrea and Teemu, but I think we are doing a good job. And don't need to do more for now.
26. 07. 2026 15:03 CET 13 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): Yeah, we were trying to drive well this one is a little bit more smooth. On the previous loop we lost two and a half seconds and probably now it looks like also will be quite similar situation. It's like this, now on the power stage I think we have bigger potential than on this one, but it's like that. I'm fighting, but I'm also really happy that Kuba Matulka, they are really strong.
26. 07. 2026 15:03 CET 13 flash info (14 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): I enjoy. We have no set up for this one, but it's not a drama. It's quite okay, we are trying to enjoy and improve ourselves, but it's not perfect because, because it's not perfect.
26. 07. 2026 15:03 CET 13 flash info (17 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): Maybe we have the hardest tyre, that's why, I think. And now the setup is okay and it's working, so, to the finish! That's the point, that's the target.
26. 07. 2026 15:03 CET 13 flash info (7 - Bulacia Marco / Murado José): We are really happy with our rally. I think it will not be possible to catch Kaito, but we will not give up, we will try. I think in the last two stages I was maybe a bit of overpushing, because in this stage I think the pace will be better and I felt more calm, so we will see for the last two stages.
26. 07. 2026 15:02 CET 13 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): I really tried, the time's just not there. I don't know, maybe I sort of regretting not trying the harder tyre now for the loop. Because, yeah, there's places in there is a bit of grip, so... yeah, I don't know, but I definitely tried.
26. 07. 2026 15:02 CET 13 flash info (18 - Rzeźnik Adrian / Kozdroń Kamil): From the beginning to half stage, I was too slow, but it's okay, we are at the finish. The important task is to finish.
26. 07. 2026 15:02 CET 13 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Oh yeah, definitely it's hot, but it's all fine, I would say. I didn't expect so many cuts and so many stones being out of the road, so a lot of dust and a lot of stones being on the road, so it was quite difficult to predict where it will be.
26. 07. 2026 15:01 CET 13 flash info (22 - Német Gábor / Németh Gergely): I'm not sure we can continue. So, I don't know at the moment, so let's see.
26. 07. 2026 15:01 CET 13 flash info (15 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): The tyre was working a little bit better when it got a bit more abrasive. I'm a wee bit nervous of it, to be honest with you. It's okay. Just can't really seem to get the rhythm to get a good push on, but it's fine. Just, I'm gonna have to try and finish a few of these rallies, get my mojo back a bit.
26. 07. 2026 15:00 CET 13 flash info (21 - Sroka Adam / Kielar Patryk): It was good. We changed the setup, I changed my driving style, so I hope it will be good, but because if not, I'm going back to Rally4.
26. 07. 2026 15:00 CET 12 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): I was hesitating. There was many, many slippy places, so I cannot push on the limit. Locals know the stages, we don't. Next loop we know. I love that.
26. 07. 2026 14:59 CET 12 flash info (3 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): I think we had a good stage, nothing to say. It's very, very close to each other and that's quite the limit of the day, I think. So we will try to do our best and let's see at the end of the loop.
26. 07. 2026 14:59 CET 12 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It was okay. It's all good, like I expected. And, yeah, I'm trying to enjoy each stage. This one is a bit different from the others. Has some junctions, then you have some parts where you really drive the car, let's say, with many corners that in places are a bit tricky. But, we enjoyed it, it was nice.
26. 07. 2026 14:59 CET 12 flash info (8 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): The knowledge of the stages, the confidence on these stages. And I'm pushing. This is a really nice fight. Some changes in the car and I need to get used to it. So after the finish line I was like, ah, maybe not so good, but it seems good. But also, let's wait for Andrea and Teemu.
26. 07. 2026 14:58 CET 12 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It was ok. We have another three stages to go and we need to able, but probably guys also behind us will be fast.
26. 07. 2026 14:58 CET 12 flash info (14 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): In the car, good sleep, in ourselves. This is the steps. We enjoy this rally. Atmosphere is great. We love rallying. What can I say?
26. 07. 2026 14:58 CET 12 flash info (17 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): It was quite ok. I was seeing the cheering and everything from teh spectators, so very good really, I think for watching, for everything, and we are going straight to the finish.
26. 07. 2026 14:58 CET 12 flash info (7 - Bulacia Marco / Murado José): I was feeling good. This stage, in the recce, we thought that it was going to be more or less a normal stage, but it actually is pretty difficult. A lot of grip changes, so yeah, happy to get through it.
26. 07. 2026 14:57 CET 12 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): I don't know if we got it wrong, whether we should be harder on the tyre, but yeah, just struggling. I didn't have precision in there, and the car's pushing on the way into the corner, so just struggling to carry the speed, but I can see the speed is there, but I just can't do it without running wide. So yeah, I just have to stay focused because I don't want to make a mistake whenever I'm trying to push for something that I don't think is just there or easily to get. So I just try and make small improvements and try to.
26. 07. 2026 14:38 CET 12 flash info (18 - Rzeźnik Adrian / Kozdroń Kamil): I like the stage, we didn't have any bumpy section. Let's go, we'll see the next stage.
26. 07. 2026 14:37 CET 12 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Thanks to my mechanic Míša, because he a little bit pushed me to do it and it was a good idea, so thank you. But anyway, it was good. It was such a beautiful stage, so we tried to push. It wasn't easy, but yeah, we made it through. A few moments, but nothing serious.
26. 07. 2026 14:37 CET 12 flash info (22 - Német Gábor / Németh Gergely): We thought that it's solved, but unfortunately not. So, we try to survive the next three stages, try to bring back the car to the finish. So, that's the goal.
26. 07. 2026 14:37 CET 12 flash info (15 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): It was something different, we had nothing really to lose, we're in no man's land, just to see, but obviously it was the wrong tyre choice. Massively wrong choice. The eleven worked really well. Now this isn't working.
26. 07. 2026 14:36 CET 12 flash info (4 - Reiersen Isak / Gustafsson Stefan): More, more reaction in the car [from teh hard tyres]. I can push a little bit more. Still need to stretch my braking points more. Your whole body screams now, now, now. Still you have to wait two seconds until you brake, so. It's challenging, but yeah, it's nice.
26. 07. 2026 14:36 CET 12 flash info (21 - Sroka Adam / Kielar Patryk): Very good. Here is high grip, mostly everywhere. There are a few places where I was a little bit surprised with the grip, but very, very nice stage, so it will be perfect Power Stage in the afternoon.
26. 07. 2026 14:32 CET 11 retired (60 - Janowski Sergiusz / Grzenia Krzysztof): accident in SS 11
26. 07. 2026 14:32 CET 11 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): Oh la la la la. It's quite bumpy in the places, more than I expected. I enjoyed it, no moments, just a bit loose car in some places.
26. 07. 2026 14:32 CET 11 flash info (3 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It's like it is. You need to push with what you have and then see at the end of the stage. I think that it's not the best stage for us, to be honest. It's not that bad, but it's not okay for attacking. So, it's like this, we still have some stages to go.
26. 07. 2026 14:31 CET 11 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): This stage, it's a nice one. I don't think it's difficult in any places. The only thing is it's different from the others, so it's a bit more bumpy, and you need to adapt to that. But comparing to the other stages, I think it's quite similar. So after hundred and something kilometers on these kind of stages, we are quite used to that, but it's a really nice one.
26. 07. 2026 14:31 CET 11 flash info (8 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): To be honest, I'm just focusing to do good runs. This was not bad, okay. I overheated tyres a bit. Good that we are faster than Miko by also a bit. I'm curious what are the guys behind doing.
26. 07. 2026 14:31 CET 11 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We know the stage, but some experience from past is not working here because now, I would say, we have really clean lines and we can push really hard because it's faster stage than usually we are driving. Yeah, we need to wait. I'm not fully happy. I know that it's possible to drive much faster here, especially if I would have more proper braking, but for the second loop we have idea how to solve it.
26. 07. 2026 14:31 CET 11 flash info (14 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): I think we are back. Probably not everywhere, but it was nice. Nice stage. I can't see the road, sometimes it's so bumpy.
26. 07. 2026 14:30 CET 11 flash info (17 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): We changed a little bit setup of the car because the first two stages today was difficult to be on the road, so now it's better, so we have a good feeling now and go straight.
26. 07. 2026 14:30 CET 11 flash info (7 - Bulacia Marco / Murado José): We did a bit of a change that helped me to improve, let's say, the overall speed of the car. And also I am trusting the car, the car is really good. This stage is a bit tricky. I was taking care of some sections because it was really easy to do a mistake. We locked on braking in the second corner. So it was not a moment, but it was just like a caution for the following stages. We need to continue like this.
26. 07. 2026 14:30 CET 11 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): We're gonna put some new tyres on the car. We'll try and make the right call for this afternoon. It's such a mix of stages, even in there, there's some really bumpy bits that have a bit of grip, and then onto the shiny road again. I felt like I struggled quite a lot with the bumps, just having to slow down and not fully commit, but the time's not bad for the longer stage. It was okay.
26. 07. 2026 14:29 CET 11 flash info (18 - Rzeźnik Adrian / Kozdroń Kamil): I felt like I was Barum, really nice stage. I think the most difficult because the road is really bumpy, so it's really difficult for driver to drive really fast.
26. 07. 2026 14:29 CET 11 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): You need to be a little bit crazy for this stage, and in a good way, Philip is definitely. So, I know he will push quite hard. It will be not easy, not easy fight with him, I think. We'll push again in another loop, but we will do everything best possible. It was a nice stage, beautiful, long stage.
26. 07. 2026 14:29 CET 11 flash info (22 - Német Gábor / Németh Gergely): I'm a little bit not frustrated, but okay, we are here, so we try to do something and solve the problem and keep going.
26. 07. 2026 14:29 CET 11 (22 - Német Gábor / Németh Gergely): problems with engine
26. 07. 2026 14:27 CET 11 flash info (15 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): I'm going to push on it for the power stage, but I had a bad feeling, the chicanes are also set up different than they were in the recce. They're way, way tighter than what they're supposed to be, so I don't know. But yeah, the time's maybe okay, but that's grand.
26. 07. 2026 14:27 CET 11 flash info (4 - Reiersen Isak / Gustafsson Stefan): It's bouncing everywhere. It's bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce. It's still flat, flat, flat, flat, so we're just enjoying it. Just laughing over how fun it is to drive here. This was crazy. But it's still a good feeling, okay. Soft tyres isn't ideal here, it's just wobbling all over the road. But, yeah, we'll get some, some harder tyres on now and get ready for the afternoon.
26. 07. 2026 14:24 CET 11 flash info (21 - Sroka Adam / Kielar Patryk): It's so, so good. It's so bumpy, but it's so pleasure to drive on it. It's pure fun and it is all the best we can have in the rally.
26. 07. 2026 10:34 CET 10 retired (25 - Zielinski Lucas / Leenhardt Ewen): accident in SS 10
26. 07. 2026 10:33 CET 10 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): Really tricky. Grip level is changing a lot and I don't understand, it's impossible to read it. So the experience is paying off. Hopefully we can improve for the second loop, and there was some moments I saw like from the marks, but we were okay. Finding it difficult to read the road up there.
26. 07. 2026 10:32 CET 10 (10 - Charpentier Tristan / Jamoul Renaud): was out of road
26. 07. 2026 10:31 CET 10 flash info (3 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): Yeah, of course. It was the power stage of two years ago, and I really, I really like this kind of stages. It's still a long loop to go. Now we have the big one waiting for us, and we will try our best to sort out the maximum we can. I think we had quite a good run here.
26. 07. 2026 10:31 CET 10 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It was not a perfect one, but yeah, that's it. I will focus on the next stages and I will try to improve.
26. 07. 2026 10:30 CET 10 flash info (8 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): It was a good run, but I was just saying to Daniel that I wasn't committed in a few places. Overall, it was a clean run. It seemed that it was fast, but I think we can improve a few places. Let's see the guys behind.
26. 07. 2026 10:30 CET 10 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): I was trying on this one to be quite clean, but also push in some places, and I have some hopes that it would be faster, but it is like it is, and we should keep our maximum possibilities. Do nothing stupid, but push myself, because I know that we have a good day and we will be competitive.
26. 07. 2026 10:21 CET 10 flash info (14 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): I think on that one, we had a problem. I have a problem with the braking point. It's difficult for me to find the correct point.
26. 07. 2026 10:21 CET 10 flash info (17 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): The first stage today was, you know, my suit under the seat is full, so now we are careful.
26. 07. 2026 10:18 CET 10 flash info (7 - Bulacia Marco / Murado José): We are feeling pretty okay. We put the car a bit stiffer, and I think we are improving. Apart from that, we want to catch Kaito, so yeah, we are pushing, and until now, we are having a pretty decent morning.
26. 07. 2026 10:17 CET 10 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): It's warm, bone dry, but we're on a soft tyre. It's, yeah, it's a bit strange. And I don't think that everybody knows what the right thing is to do with tyres. The road is clean. You want to carry speed, be aggressive, but the road, you don't get a good feeling, a good feedback because it's quite slippery and some shiny bits in there.
26. 07. 2026 10:11 CET 10 flash info (18 - Rzeźnik Adrian / Kozdroń Kamil): This stage was for me really great stage, so I really like that. The stage before was too wide for me, so this will be, will better.
26. 07. 2026 10:11 CET 10 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Well, here it was a lot of flat places on the smooth tarmac where I need to know where you have to be before the corner and how much of the speed you can carry into that corner. So sometimes I brake too much, then I realize I could go flat out probably, so that's the points where we are losing the time a bit, but yeah, we are here and that's the most important thing.
26. 07. 2026 10:08 CET 10 flash info (22 - Német Gábor / Németh Gergely): The stage is very good, very good. We enjoyed it. We have an issue. I cannot use the maximum throttle.
26. 07. 2026 10:08 CET 10 flash info (15 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): I just struggled a wee bit, obviously, with the grip. It's hard to know the last time we done it, it was a lot less grip. Yeah, just trying to get into the groove a bit, and then take a wee pull after lunch.
26. 07. 2026 10:07 CET 10 flash info (4 - Reiersen Isak / Gustafsson Stefan): Went well. I Don't quite have this great feeling as yesterday. We'll be struggling on the long straight, that's for sure. It was easy to just use the soft tyre because we had it on qualifying, so we'll be struggling with that, but feel it's okay.
26. 07. 2026 10:07 CET 10 flash info (21 - Sroka Adam / Kielar Patryk): It was very good stage until it wasn't, but I think we need to go.
26. 07. 2026 09:59 CET 10 (21 - Sroka Adam / Kielar Patryk): was out of road
26. 07. 2026 09:30 CET 9 retired (38 - Bieńko Tadeusz / Poradzisz Michał): accident in SS 9
26. 07. 2026 08:59 CET 9 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): I didn't have perfect notes. It was quite busy with the road checks, with the public roads, and was not good. But hopefully my skill was taking it back. We need to go flat out. No other options. Level is high, everyone is pushing. Everyone knows the roads, so no option.
26. 07. 2026 08:59 CET 9 flash info (3 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It was a disaster. We start with cold tyres. We wait more at the beginning because Tempestini must pass because he was stopped up there by the police. We made all the road section to the stage at 30 kilometers per hour. We started with cold brakes and everything. So everything could go wrong, went wrong.
26. 07. 2026 08:58 CET 9 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): We were stopped by police on road section. Somebody made them angry before us. Its like it is.
26. 07. 2026 08:55 CET 9 flash info (8 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): I was trying to watch some onboards yesterday and try to improve the pace, you know, and of course, the confidence going to the stages. This was not easy. It was hard to do a proper recce. But okay, few places that I was too careful with the brakings and there were time to be faster.
26. 07. 2026 08:53 CET 9 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): Really different stage than all others. I would say much more natural corners. It was necessary to be brave,. In some places I struggled a little bit. The grip was a little bit higher than I expected. And not bad run, but two, three seconds was possible to get.
26. 07. 2026 08:52 CET 9 flash info (14 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): No, good pace note in the traffic. This is the challenge. But it's same for everybody. Okay, sometimes it's a lottery with the traffic on this kind of road. It's not the main road, but popular, the famous road. So I was, in some places, I was optimistic with my pace notes, and sometimes too slow.
26. 07. 2026 08:47 CET 9 flash info (17 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): Wow we have a big spin on fifth gear, so it was, I don't know, 150kph, and we made a spin, so I'm glad to be here. Now we have more six stages, and we will be fighting.
26. 07. 2026 08:47 CET 9 flash info (7 - Bulacia Marco / Murado José): It's a bit complicated because it is a different stage profile, completely different stage profile compared to the entire rally. So, this is more like Sierra Morena, more wide and circuit-style stage. But now we need to focus because we are coming back to new Rally Poland in the next stage.
26. 07. 2026 08:42 CET 9 (17 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): spun
26. 07. 2026 08:39 CET 9 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): We just need to try and find a good rhythm, try and get a good pace, see if we can get any positions, but everybody's gonna have the same mentality. It was a tricky stage in underneath the trees and the sunlight coming through, just hard to pick up where the apex of the corner is and I'm sure everybody's saying how difficult the recce was, but we had a clean run.
26. 07. 2026 08:39 CET 9 flash info (18 - Rzeźnik Adrian / Kozdroń Kamil): It was okay, so nice, but one corner for me, I expected that this corner was faster, so I lost like three seconds, four seconds because we had a big slide, so I don't like this wide stage, but yeah, it's all.
26. 07. 2026 08:39 CET 9 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): Definitely I'm happy because this is not a stage for me. The clean, really fast circuit racing, it's something what I'm missing here. But anyway, it was a good stage. There are much more cuts than I expected, to be honest, on a stage like this. But, yeah, beautiful stages are ahead of us. We have to keep focused because they know the stages well. It's the same as 2024. So, we have to push.
26. 07. 2026 08:34 CET 9 flash info (22 - Német Gábor / Németh Gergely): The stage was clear, so that's good. Just something strange, maybe pop off valve or something.
26. 07. 2026 08:34 CET 9 flash info (15 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): The notes were a bit rubbish in there, to be fair. The recce was quite difficult with the traffic. It's the same for everyone. It was okay. I'd say you could lose six or seven seconds in there.
26. 07. 2026 08:34 CET 9 flash info (4 - Reiersen Isak / Gustafsson Stefan): We stay on the same setup, mostly the same. I had a good feeling, just continue on that. There's some nice stages coming up later on, so just try to enjoy that and get the experience I got yesterday. This stage was really hard. Didn't really get the race line on the recce, so yeah, it was a little bit hard with pace notes because of the traffic, but we are through.
26. 07. 2026 08:27 CET 9 Weather in Poland is sunny, roads are dry, temperature around 15°C.
25. 07. 2026 22:39 CET 8 flash info (8 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): It was great. Very nice. We had a nice stage, good donuts, so, yeah, really, really happy. It was a really satisfying day with good pace, and I will try to keep this tomorrow.
25. 07. 2026 22:38 CET 8 flash info (10 - Charpentier Tristan / Jamoul Renaud): Of course, it's a massive help to Renaud Jamoul co-driving. He's so experienced, you know. I mean, it's just so easy, you know, you know that you have nothing to think about. It's just only driving, and he takes care of everything. And it's just such a pleasure to have him. And so lucky as well to have him, so.
25. 07. 2026 22:38 CET 8 flash info (15 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): It's been a bit mixed, to be honest, but yeah, I'm happy enough. Just struggling a bit, but see if tomorrow goes a bit better. I'll try.
25. 07. 2026 22:38 CET 8 flash info (4 - Reiersen Isak / Gustafsson Stefan): I'm feeling well. It's been a great day actually. Made some huge, huge steps forward and looking back at the other Tarmac events, we have really, really done today. So, yeah, happy to go again tomorrow.
25. 07. 2026 22:37 CET 8 flash info (14 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): I have only good memories from the ERC. Great atmosphere here, the people around the stages. I'm older and older. We are older, but we still have fun. It's amazing. It's like a narcotic, but positive, of course.
25. 07. 2026 22:37 CET 8 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): I'm happy that we finished the day. It was a nice one. We enjoyed the stage and we know that tomorrow it's also a long day, so we are happy because we finished today, but we are still focused for tomorrow.
25. 07. 2026 22:37 CET 8 flash info (7 - Bulacia Marco / Murado José): I think it was a really good day. We made a mistake with the tyre choice in the morning, but apart from that, I think we can be happy.
25. 07. 2026 22:37 CET 8 flash info (3 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): I think we started to work in the correct way, and we had a little bit more understanding the car for sure. But it's working, it's working this situation, and we are enjoying it, and once you are enjoying it, then the times come. I think we had a great day. We are very close to the top position, and we will fight till the end tomorrow. I'm sure of it.
25. 07. 2026 22:36 CET 8 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): A mistake this afternoon was a shame on the stage that we could have had a really good time. That's the way it goes, try and learn from that. But, yeah, I think the other guys just found a little something, whether it's experience or I don't know, this afternoon, that I didn't make that step. But tomorrow's another long day, so we'll try. It's been a lot of fun. The stages are a lot of driving and they're flat out, so I've enjoyed the car. So, yeah, hopefully we can have a strong day tomorrow.
25. 07. 2026 22:36 CET 8 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): We have been clever, and in places maybe the experience to make the pace notes on tricky conditions has been the key. But we need to be humble. These stages are challenging and the grip level is changing quite a lot.
25. 07. 2026 22:36 CET 8 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): There were some ups and downs. We can be happy with our pace on the Jastrzębie stage, also Jasienica. Unfortunately, we lost too much, around six seconds on the Ochaby. Everything is open before tomorrow, but Teemu is really a world-class driver. He's all the time on the top. I'm happy that we are quite strong in the Polish group. Unfortunately, now fighting more on the second, third place, but we need to keep pushing. We still know a lot of stages for tomorrow, and we should show our possibilities.
25. 07. 2026 23:47 CET 7 retired (30 - Caldwell Cian / McPhillips Paul): accident in SS 7
25. 07. 2026 22:35 CET 7 flash info (8 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): It was a good stage from us. I was trying to manage the tyres, but yeah, this is the most I could do, I would say. But it was a good run.
25. 07. 2026 22:35 CET 7 flash info (18 - Rzeźnik Adrian / Kozdroń Kamil): It is my favorite stage, it was great. I like long stages and I like narrow stages. That's all. I love it.
25. 07. 2026 22:34 CET 7 flash info (22 - Német Gábor / Németh Gergely): It's a long day. We really enjoyed it. The last one was a really, really good stage. We enjoyed it so much. Only issue, the handbrake has not worked. But okay, we tried to manage to pass it.
25. 07. 2026 22:34 CET 7 flash info (17 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): For me it's a lot of fun, but when you see the times, everybody is fighting, everybody wants to win. So, it's very tough competition and I think the level is high.
25. 07. 2026 22:34 CET 7 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): This is such a beautiful stage, to be honest. You have pretty much everything there. So, yeah, you need to be really patient. And probably this morning I was a little bit more aggressive. Now it was slightly a little bit better. I didn't use the handbrake so much as the morning, so, yep, probably it was cool. I have to say thanks to my team and also MRF Tyres that, yeah, we can drive like this and hopefully we will increase our pace.
25. 07. 2026 22:34 CET 7 flash info (10 - Charpentier Tristan / Jamoul Renaud): I touched an anti-cut device and straight away, puncture. It's part of the game.
25. 07. 2026 22:33 CET 7 (10 - Charpentier Tristan / Jamoul Renaud): puncture
25. 07. 2026 22:33 CET 7 flash info (15 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): I just braked a little bit late and went to turn in, and it just understeered a little bit. I was enjoying that stage. Starting to enjoy the car and driving a bit better, but obviously the mistakes are starting to come now.
25. 07. 2026 22:33 CET 7 (15 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): was out of road
25. 07. 2026 22:33 CET 7 flash info (4 - Reiersen Isak / Gustafsson Stefan): We had some challenges along the way, but yeah, I'm happy. We're really developing, and it's like the first day on Tarmac where we feel that we're making some big steps forward. So, really enjoyed it, and okay, one stage left today, but then looking forward for tomorrow.
25. 07. 2026 22:32 CET 7 flash info (14 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): Times are important, but at this moment I try to improve myself. I am happy. The gap is not so big, let's say. Four seconds, something like that. It's not bad, it was 10 on the previous one, but we had a slow puncture. So we don't know, but I tried to push as I can.
25. 07. 2026 22:31 CET 7 flash info (21 - Sroka Adam / Kielar Patryk): I solved the differential problem by myself. I know what was wrong, so it doesn't matter. The time, again, is bad, but the feeling was fine. That's something positive.
25. 07. 2026 22:31 CET 7 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It was okay for us. Unfortunately, just at the beginning, I felt that I'm missing some help from the power steering. So in places it was, let's say, not locking the steering, not completely without hydraulic, but it was some vibration and, yeah, maybe I lost some time thinking about what could be the problem. But at the end, I don't think we lost so much time for that. So now we go for the last stage of the day, the super special stage. I'm happy that we finished the loop. And yeah, let's see also tomorrow how it will be.
25. 07. 2026 22:31 CET 7 flash info (7 - Bulacia Marco / Murado José): Our afternoon loop was much better. We got a right tyre choice, so yeah. Now we need to see how we can be closer from the fastest time because we are trying some, I'm trying a bit of different things, and let's see. We need to analyse the data and see some more for tomorrow so we can improve the last bit. Some good donuts tonight though first. I think it will be very important this super special stage because the times on the overall classification are so tight, so you can't afford to lose anything.
25. 07. 2026 22:31 CET 7 flash info (3 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): I think that there was some times that I was not enjoying a stage like this one. Yeah, it seems like everything is working and we had a good rhythm from the beginning. We will go back to the service, we will do the last stage, and then we will prepare for tomorrow. Overall, it's been a good day.
25. 07. 2026 22:29 CET 7 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): We're just sliding on the tyres too much, and I'm just trying to drive neat not to make a mistake whenever we slide a little bit. I don't know, we just didn't quite get it right this afternoon, but still a lot of stages to go tomorrow. Let's get through tonight and focus on tomorrow.
25. 07. 2026 22:29 CET 6 flash info (3 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It was not bad. Similar to Barum, this Indycross Park. And we all know that I love that kind of place. But it seems not that bad.
25. 07. 2026 22:28 CET 6 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): It would have been nice to know some slippy places, but seems that it was good run for us.
25. 07. 2026 22:28 CET 6 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We are trying, but you know, Suninen is a hard driver and it's sometimes hard, and I was trying for sure. Probably I was not brave enough in this first part. But we should wait till the finish, what will be the time.
25. 07. 2026 22:27 CET 5 flash info (8 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): It was quite okay. The end was not so good. We opted for the soft tyre and maybe it was too much. But yeah, let's see.
25. 07. 2026 22:27 CET 5 flash info (23 - Gîrtofan Andrei / Pulpea Dorin): The weather was perfect, I think, right now. Also in the morning I was a chicken and I go with some soft tyres, but now I put hard and the MRF tyres work perfectly. Also the time is good, 10 seconds down, so I'm very happy.
25. 07. 2026 22:27 CET 5 flash info (22 - Német Gábor / Németh Gergely): It felt much more better than the first loop. The handling was much more comfortable for us. Easier than the previous one to count the grip and the turning.
25. 07. 2026 22:26 CET 5 flash info (17 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): It was okay. We have a big space of safety - we want to control our Polish championship, so to the finish, this is my target.
25. 07. 2026 22:25 CET 5 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): We had a lot of vibration because I touched the bank with the left rear, so probably there should be a lot of dust and mud, and it was vibrating a lot. But I didn't expect the time so bad like this, so don't know what is happening, but yeah, I'm pushing.
25. 07. 2026 22:24 CET 5 flash info (10 - Charpentier Tristan / Jamoul Renaud): Yeah, it felt a bit better. We went on a hard compound. We tested on this tyre - I think it suits me way better, and now we have the pace that we want.
25. 07. 2026 22:20 CET 5 flash info (15 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): It's not pushing, it's just starting to feel a bit better. The boys at the front were going quite hard, to be honest. Just struggling to commit a wee bit, but yeah, that 48 s by Suninen in there wouldn't be easy to do.
25. 07. 2026 22:19 CET 5 flash info (14 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): I'm happy. I want more, but it's better. Thank you for my engineers. That proposal was good.
25. 07. 2026 22:19 CET 5 flash info (21 - Sroka Adam / Kielar Patryk): It's great because it's a fantastic rally. My wife is somewhere here, my colleagues, my best friends, so it's great. But we are seven seconds too slow, unfortunately! I tried to be really, really smooth, but I'm probably a little more aggressive next stage.
25. 07. 2026 22:18 CET 5 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): We enjoyed this stage and I expected to somehow be faster, but in places I didn't feel that I can carry the speed I wanted. So, even if I tried at the beginning, then I had to adapt a bit to the behaviour I feel in the car.
25. 07. 2026 22:18 CET 5 flash info (7 - Bulacia Marco / Murado José): Now everything is much better with the medium tyre. I think it's part of the learning. We made a mistake on the first loop, putting softs on. But yeah, happy that we are improving and we need to continue like this.
25. 07. 2026 22:18 CET 5 flash info (3 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): Now it's more clear, let's say, fully dry. It's very hot, so we went with the hardest compound tyre we have. And it seems like it's a little bit better in terms of grip, so I think the road cleaned a little bit, but no issue. We tried to push a little bit more than before, and it seems like we are all close to each other, right? Yeah. It's just a few seconds in so many kilometres, so it means that we are on the pace.
25. 07. 2026 22:17 CET 5 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): I really felt like I couldn't do much more, to be honest. I thought I had a really good stage, so the time is a shame. It felt really good.
25. 07. 2026 22:17 CET 5 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): That was a clean stage, no issues, but it's not easy to make differences when I can hear my onboards echoing everywhere and everyone is watching my onboards, but we will do our best.
25. 07. 2026 22:17 CET 5 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We changed a little bit the set-up and now we use hard and soft tyres. I think it was a good decision. The grip was higher as always here, it's around three, four tenths per kilometre faster second loop. We need to wait for the others. I was trying, maybe not clean in some places, but also with some trying of push.
26. 07. 2026 08:31 CET 4 (12 - Blach Roberto / Sosa Daniel): was out of road
25. 07. 2026 18:08 CET 4 retired (27 - Rahill Craig / Smith Conor): retired after SS 4
25. 07. 2026 18:05 CET 4 flash info (8 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): Of course, in some places I am pretty on the limit but there are also some parts where, in my opinion, it is too dangerous to try to go faster. It was not a bad run, in some places I lost some rhythm, but as we can see Teemu did a good time.
25. 07. 2026 18:05 CET 4 flash info (23 - Gîrtofan Andrei / Pulpea Dorin): Super. I enjoyed a lot. I am so sorry for the incident earlier. We have to go forward, finish stages and enjoy a lot. It's amazing and we have a smile on our faces.
25. 07. 2026 18:04 CET 4 flash info (10 - Charpentier Tristan / Jamoul Renaud): I am searching for my pace. A lot of changing grip and I am not so confident in my pace. We need to find out and push more this afternoon.
25. 07. 2026 18:04 CET 4 flash info (15 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): I just can't get commitment at all. When I should be flat I'm lifting. Maybe it's a result of too many DNFs and too many crashes, but I also want to be quicker than I am. It's a bit of a vicious circle to be honest.
25. 07. 2026 18:04 CET 4 flash info (4 - Reiersen Isak / Gustafsson Stefan): First stage today, I want to forget. Silly mistake in a junction and we didn't really have the feeling. But in here it was nice, I was really enjoying it and it feels good. I am really looking forward to the rest of the rally.
25. 07. 2026 18:04 CET 4 flash info (14 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): Now it's a little bit better, but the car is still moving.
25. 07. 2026 18:03 CET 4 flash info (21 - Sroka Adam / Kielar Patryk): I braked a little bit too late but there was no option that we half-spin and then we hit something. There was a big vibration after that so I had to lift unfortunately.
25. 07. 2026 18:03 CET 4 (21 - Sroka Adam / Kielar Patryk): spun
25. 07. 2026 18:03 CET 4 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): I think I was still a bit sleeping in the first stage. This one felt a bit better. I am enjoying the rally. I am not 100 per cent sure that I have the right set-up at the moment, but I am thinking about that and hopefully I will find some little solutions to improve the feeling. I am trying to do my best and it's not so bad at the moment.
25. 07. 2026 18:02 CET 4 flash info (7 - Bulacia Marco / Murado José): The tyres were moving a bit but generally it's okay. For the afternoon we will go for another compound. I need to improve myself, because my feeling driving-wise is not okay. It's nothing to do with the car, I just need to reset.
25. 07. 2026 18:02 CET 4 flash info (3 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It was a good run, with a good rhythm. I tried to keep up the pace without making stupid mistakes. Generally it's quite okay. We were on different solutions in terms of tyres. Let's see this afternoon.
25. 07. 2026 18:02 CET 4 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): First, I hope the guys are okay. We're thinking about them. This is a really tricky stage, slippier than the others. It's hard to try and manage the tyres and be smooth, but I think we did it okay. If we can be faster than Marczyk then I think we're doing alright.
25. 07. 2026 18:02 CET 4 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): We need to be humble. There are a lot of grip changes and we know what can happen.
25. 07. 2026 18:01 CET 4 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): It's not good. I would like to drive for sure faster, but okay. There was maybe a little bit too many emotions.
25. 07. 2026 10:38 CET 3 Stage is cancelled.
25. 07. 2026 10:06 CET 3 Stage is stopped because of accident of car no. 9.
25. 07. 2026 10:04 CET 3 retired (9 - Stříteský Dominik / Krajča Ondřej): accident in SS 3
25. 07. 2026 22:14 CET 2 (39 - Schulz Timo / Lade Maresa): puncture
25. 07. 2026 18:05 CET 2 (27 - Rahill Craig / Smith Conor): was out of road
25. 07. 2026 11:26 CET 2 Stage is cancelled.
25. 07. 2026 11:25 CET 2 Stage is stopped because of accident of car no.43.
25. 07. 2026 11:24 CET 2 retired (43 - Neulinger Marcel / Heigl Jürgen): accident in SS 2
25. 07. 2026 09:47 CET 2 flash info (8 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): It feels amazing, but yeah, this is the first proper stage, but for sure, it's a good feeling. The run was okay. Few mistakes, but yeah, it seems it was good.
25. 07. 2026 09:47 CET 2 flash info (23 - Gîrtofan Andrei / Pulpea Dorin): It was a very nice stage. I'm super excited to drive here, very nice roads. Good pace, I think. We can increase the pace for sure, but we will do it step by step, and I want to do all the stages.
25. 07. 2026 09:40 CET 2 flash info (22 - Német Gábor / Németh Gergely): It was a good stage for wake-up. A lot of jumps, and I felt like I was a little bit slow, but okay, it was a clean run.
25. 07. 2026 09:40 CET 2 flash info (17 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): Everything was okay. Smooth run, no crazy situation, nothing happened. We have to look about the other guys, what they do. So now we are waiting and waiting for our turn.
25. 07. 2026 09:39 CET 2 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): If you know very well this stage, for sure you know the places where you can push, for us it was a new stage, let's say, and sometimes I've been a little bit cautious, but I think we made a pretty good job for the first pass, to be honest. I'm quite happy with what we've done, but yeah, for sure there's room to improve.
25. 07. 2026 09:39 CET 2 flash info (10 - Charpentier Tristan / Jamoul Renaud): A lot of grip changes, but it wasn't a good stage for me at all.
25. 07. 2026 09:38 CET 2 flash info (15 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): Just struggling with commitment a wee bit. But yeah, it was okay. We're through anyway.
25. 07. 2026 09:38 CET 2 flash info (4 - Reiersen Isak / Gustafsson Stefan): I don't know. Some misheard pace note, small crest, and it was a short right, and didn't hear it correctly, so I went left and, no, we had to reverse. But we had a big slide at the beginning, hit something really hard with the right rear, but luckily we were on Hankook, so we don't get a puncture.
25. 07. 2026 09:38 CET 2 (4 - Reiersen Isak / Gustafsson Stefan): missed junction
25. 07. 2026 09:37 CET 2 flash info (14 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): I enjoy. I try to not push too much because of tyres. The car is a little bit moving, but it's okay. It was nice stage - I think not for the Toyota's engine - but it's nice.
25. 07. 2026 09:36 CET 2 flash info (21 - Sroka Adam / Kielar Patryk): It was not bad, but not good with tyre selection. Probably would have been better with hard.
25. 07. 2026 09:36 CET 2 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It's a nice stage. It's okay. We enjoyed it. It's a good one.
25. 07. 2026 09:36 CET 2 flash info (7 - Bulacia Marco / Murado José): We had quite a steady run. I was taking care in some braking zones, just wanted to make sure how everything is in this way. So, yeah, apart from that, it was a good run, and we will start to improve from here.
25. 07. 2026 09:35 CET 2 flash info (3 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): The feeling was okay. Maybe a little bit too cautious in some parts. It's difficult to judge the grip level sometimes. It's just the beginning. Let's see in the next one.
25. 07. 2026 09:35 CET 2 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): It's hard to know what the time was gonna be like. Sometimes you're moving a little bit and you don't know, is it the tyre overheating or is it not turning on? But I think it was the right choice, but it's smooth and it's always changing a little bit, so it is tricky. But yeah, we had a clean stage. Some places maybe could have carried a bit more speed, but it was okay.
25. 07. 2026 09:17 CET 2 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): It was a clean stage, but a long rally to go. We need to be humble on this rally. Grip level is changing quite a lot, and I don't know where it's slippy and where it's not.
25. 07. 2026 09:14 CET 2 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We had a good decision about the tyre strategy for this one. We are 11 seconds faster than we were two years ago, but still I think could be three, four seconds faster today. But it was a clean run.
25. 07. 2026 09:14 CET 2 flash info (9 - Stříteský Dominik / Krajča Ondřej): It was more slippery than I expected, but it is what it is. We had one for a moment after three kilometers. Then I take it, maybe too much easy, but let's see.
25. 07. 2026 09:12 CET 2 Weather in Katowice is sunny, roads are dry, temperature around 15°C.
24. 07. 2026 23:20 CET 1 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): It was quite nice. The grip level was really good. But I wanted to be clever and it's quite late. I think I have never done a stage this late.
24. 07. 2026 23:17 CET 1 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We need drive a little bit faster than last year, and all use the experience which we have from the last years. There is a lot of mixed tarmac, and we need to be in the good confidence with good consistency from the start from tomorrow.
24. 07. 2026 23:16 CET 1 flash info (3 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): To be honest, I just hope to enjoy this stage at the moment, and tomorrow morning we will start the real challenge. Of course, it's a big challenge, as I said, with many, many competitors, so that will be very fast. But, yeah, we will see. For sure we will enjoy it, and then we will do our maximum. And for the moment, it's okay like this. We enjoy the donuts and the show for the public.
24. 07. 2026 23:13 CET 1 flash info (14 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): I'm sleeping, I think. Generally it was fine. It's short stage today. Rally is starting tomorrow.
24. 07. 2026 23:13 CET 1 flash info (4 - Reiersen Isak / Gustafsson Stefan): It is not really my favourite type of stages. So much that could go wrong, but still, you get goosebumps. It's nice, nice stage, great work from organizers.
24. 07. 2026 23:12 CET 1 flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It's like all rallies this season. It's a rally we like, so for sure we will try to do our best. It's not an easy rally, so the target is to keep a good rhythm and to try to stay away from the little mistakes.
24. 07. 2026 23:12 CET 1 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): Firstly, I'm just glad to get through there because, okay, when you do the recce on an electric scooter in the daylight, it's hard to trust everything, and already I've seen some guys have some problems. So if we can stay close-ish to the stage, the best stage time, then it might be okay. But yeah, a clean run, one small mistake at the end with the kerb, but yeah, first time in Poland, like you say. I don't know. Let's see what tomorrow brings. I'm looking forward to it. We had a good qualifying, feeling in the car's good. Let's just try and enjoy it.
24. 07. 2026 23:12 CET 1 flash info (7 - Bulacia Marco / Murado José): It's a really fun stage, especially for the spectators. I mean, this sport needs more of this.
24. 07. 2026 23:11 CET 1 flash info (8 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): It's very fun. These are the roads I know, of course, I'm quite often here, so it's really familiar. A lot of friends, family, so everyone is here, and we are trying to do our best job to make them happy also.
24. 07. 2026 23:08 CET 1 flash info (9 - Stříteský Dominik / Krajča Ondřej): I think that start is good for spectators. Lot of donuts before the sleep. Lets see for tomorrow. It will be tough to be first on the road.
24. 07. 2026 23:02 CET 1 flash info (10 - Charpentier Tristan / Jamoul Renaud): I'm not a fan of donuts, you know. I mean, losing three seconds, four seconds, I didn't care. It's not what we're looking for. We are mainly here to get some experience on a dirty tarmac.
24. 07. 2026 23:01 CET 1 flash info (11 - Cais Erik / Bacigál Igor): I wish for it, but I think everybody who's taking their helmet on before the stage, they are pushing, so it will be definitely not an easy weekend. Definitely we can go a bit more faster here. I was too cautious for the gravel and it was sliding a little bit because the temperature is not so, not so high, but anyway, it was kind of okay. Let's hope the time will be at least in top 15.
24. 07. 2026 23:00 CET 1 flash info (15 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): In there is not my favourite thing and never have been. It's still nice to do it, but I always drop four seconds to the top boys in there. So I'm happy enough, no real mistakes, just get through there. Tomorrow morning we'll try a bit harder.
24. 07. 2026 23:00 CET 1 flash info (17 - Szeja Jarosław / Szeja Marcin): It's very fun for us and I think it was a good thing for spectators.
24. 07. 2026 23:00 CET 1 flash info (18 - Rzeźnik Adrian / Kozdroń Kamil): It was okay. I changed the differential and it was my first kilometer in this one stage, So everything for us, is new, for me exactly. Tomorrow is a real stage, keep fingers across for us.
24. 07. 2026 22:52 CET 1 flash info (21 - Sroka Adam / Kielar Patryk): This was completely disaster. I'm really good on this kind of stages, and I love doing donuts, but I'm not used to Skoda and you have to do it completely different than in Jaris. So it was a big surprise on the first two donuts that I need to get used to it, but it will be fine.
24. 07. 2026 22:51 CET 1 flash info (12 - Blach Roberto / Sosa Daniel): I watched a lot of onboard videos fron 2024. I think that will be a very, very difficult rally, but I have confidence and I want to do a good result, and if it's possible to fight for fifth position.
24. 07. 2026 22:51 CET 1 flash info (19 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): In the morning we were quite ill, but let's hope that I can make some kind of recovery during the night, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be better.
24. 07. 2026 22:51 CET 1 flash info (22 - Német Gábor / Németh Gergely): Basically, I'm not really like the city stages, but this one is the most enjoyable I ever driven, so it's really good fun.
24. 07. 2026 22:50 CET 1 flash info (23 - Gîrtofan Andrei / Pulpea Dorin): It was nice, a lot of people, so I enjoyed the atmosphere.
24. 07. 2026 22:50 CET 1 flash info (24 - Vatanen Ville / Ojala Joonas): It's okay, we are here and no big mistakes, so it's okay.
24. 07. 2026 22:39 CET 1 flash info (25 - Zielinski Lucas / Leenhardt Ewen): We had a puncture just before the start line, so we had to change the tyres at the last moment.
24. 07. 2026 22:39 CET 1 flash info (26 - Coleman Casey Jay / McArdle Killian): It just broke away on the braking, down the hill, and I couldn't save it. It, it was gone. I was reverse entry, and I kept my foot on the throttle. The cold tyres, they wouldn't grip like. Ah, disaster.
24. 07. 2026 22:39 CET 1 (26 - Coleman Casey Jay / McArdle Killian): damaged wheel
24. 07. 2026 22:38 CET 1 flash info (27 - Rahill Craig / Smith Conor): That's what we wanted to do, and that was actually a really nice stage, it was good fun, and it's great to see so many spectators out. The real stages start tomorrow now and they're very bumpy and tricky, so we're looking forward to a good push now tomorrow.
24. 07. 2026 22:38 CET 1 flash info (28 - Kačírek Petr jun. / Kučera Ladislav): For sure, the guys in front are really fast. There's still a lot of work ahead of us to catch them. But yeah, the stages tomorrow are pretty close to what we have in Czech Republic. So, we are excited and let's see what our pace can bring us.
24. 07. 2026 22:37 CET 1 flash info (44 - Nordstrand Karl Peder / Rudi Sunniva): Just a stupid mistake. It was out of last chicane, it was like the worst possible scenario. So it is what it is. Actually now I just want to go behind a tree and cry, but that's not how life's working. It's not much damage, but a broken driveshaft and a steering arm that's off. But we managed to get it on the arm again, but then it was off the arm again, and we are where we are. It's time to get out, but, you know, start the rally with this kind of stage. It was going very good beforehand as well, so. And for the championship-wise, we was a bit back after Rome, but now it seems like it's back where we started.
24. 07. 2026 22:36 CET 1 Stage continues.
24. 07. 2026 22:36 CET 1 Stage is stopped to remove damaged car no. 44.
24. 07. 2026 22:35 CET 1 flash info (30 - Caldwell Cian / McPhillips Paul): It's great Irish competition here, so I suppose it's just about getting the head down early tomorrow and just trying to push from the word go, see how we get on. There was a hairpin left in there and I done a full donut by accident, so that's all my fault. But yeah, look, it's a great stage to be fair, and looking forward to getting started tomorrow.
24. 07. 2026 22:34 CET 1 flash info (32 - Gazda Błażej / Jurgała Michał): It was very nice. There is a lot of people. It was beautfiul.
24. 07. 2026 22:34 CET 1 flash info (35 - Chorbiński Michał / Chrzanowski Adam): It was a good feeling. I think we did some good donuts, but we were smiling before the stage that last time we did the donut was on the Burgurkaral in Warsaw, and we were happy that there are five of them, so there are few to practice. It was good, I think.
24. 07. 2026 22:33 CET 1 flash info (38 - Bieńko Tadeusz / Poradzisz Michał): I think that's very good, but I don't know what time is, but I'm good.
24. 07. 2026 22:33 CET 1 flash info (39 - Schulz Timo / Lade Maresa): It would be really nice for sure to repeat the Opel win here in Silesia, which Calle Carlberg done two years before. So, yeah, I'm quite happy to be here. Big thanks to Opel, and we will see what we can do in the fight for the win.
24. 07. 2026 22:32 CET 1 flash info (40 - Pesavento Davide / Angeli Alessio): The stages here are difficult for us.
24. 07. 2026 22:32 CET 1 flash info (41 - Heindrichs Tom / Schmitz Jonas): In Rome we didn't go around the donut, so at least I'm happy that we did it here better. And yeah, I mean, 4.1sec it's not the end of the world, so tomorrow we will see some stages we really like, so we will give everything and try to make some pressure on the championship because we are third.
24. 07. 2026 22:31 CET 1 flash info (42 - Sandrin Tommaso / Dal Maso Andrea): For me, it's a win. It's my first super special without having to reverse. So, very happy.
24. 07. 2026 22:31 CET 1 flash info (43 - Neulinger Marcel / Heigl Jürgen): We managed to not have to reverse for the donuts. It was the target. Let's see tomorrow. Tomorrow the stages are a bit difficult, but I like it.
24. 07. 2026 22:30 CET 1 retired (44 - Nordstrand Karl Peder / Rudi Sunniva): broken wheel in SS 1
24. 07. 2026 22:30 CET 1 flash info (46 - Dünker Colin / Decker Jonas): For sure, the rear tyres were difficult, but we choose them to get around the donuts but it works.
24. 07. 2026 22:29 CET 1 flash info (47 - Suliman Reis / Moore Lorcan): It was good. Small mistake, but the rest was quite good. Beautiful stages here, and so glad I see so many people. I'm very glad to be here.
24. 07. 2026 22:29 CET 1 flash info (48 - Schönborn Claire / Wenzel Michael): I'm really happy to finish the first day. I don't like these donuts with the front-wheel drive car, but we survived and the real stage is starting tomorrow.
24. 07. 2026 22:28 CET 1 flash info (49 - Paccagnella Francesco / Zanini Paolo): It's really hard in the donuts to be able to go around them because, I mean, the handbrake doesn't do that much. But it is what it is.
24. 07. 2026 22:27 CET 1 flash info (50 - Dallapiccola Sebastian / Mattucci Lorenzo): Yeah, feel good. The stage is very funny. And, yeah, tomorrow there is the real rally. The stages are very tricky, but I think it's good for learn too much as possible. And, yeah, I'm happy.
24. 07. 2026 22:25 CET 1 flash info (51 - Dei Ceci Francesco / Darderi Daiana): Wow. It's a good stage, very, very beautiful stage in the city, but definitely more beautiful with a Rally2 Lancia. But it's okay. I'm happy. I'm happy to be here in Poland for another round in the Junior ERC. It's okay. Thank you all the people who believe in me and thank you.
24. 07. 2026 22:24 CET 1 flash info (52 - Hakalehto Aatu / Heino Niklas): We have had some hard races now, but we will focus on this. We still have the great pace and everything looks good, so we'll try our best. This stage we had some issues with the car. I don't know what was happening, but suddenly there was no throttle response.
24. 07. 2026 22:23 CET 1 flash info (53 - McBride Kyle / Callaghan Liam): Yeah, in the first corner, we had to do, we lost all this pressure, so, not ideal because it was so difficult to get around with no power, so we literally no power, but look, it's better happening in there than happening on the big stage tomorrow, so we'll keep focused tomorrow and, yeah, it's good to be here, just not the ideal start, but look, it could be worse, so just happy to be here and focus on the big stages tomorrow.
24. 07. 2026 22:23 CET 1 flash info (54 - Šipoš Filip / Omelka Zdeněk): Hopefully we didn't lost much time. Proper rally starts tomorrow.
24. 07. 2026 22:22 CET 1 flash info (55 - Rott Anthony / Rott Adrien): To be honest, it was not a very nice run, but we do the, we do the best. Let's see what can happen tomorrow and fast guys are coming behind.
24. 07. 2026 22:21 CET 1 flash info (56 - Zigliani Ludwig / Montavoci Sara): It's okay. The first time with car and difficult.
24. 07. 2026 22:21 CET 1 flash info (57 - Kaplita Łukasz / Pietruszka Krzysztof): This is the best feeling in my life as we are starting in our home city.
24. 07. 2026 21:49 CET 1 Road is dry, temperature around 17°C.
24. 07. 2026 21:47 CET QS retired (19 - Kołtun Jarosław / Pleskot Ireneusz): didnt start into QS
24. 07. 2026 21:46 CET QS (8 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): 10 sec penalty for chicane
24. 07. 2026 21:46 CET QS flash info (22 - Német Gábor / Németh Gergely): We try to find some pace. The stages are challenging but nice. We would like to enjoy it.
24. 07. 2026 21:45 CET QS flash info (21 - Sroka Adam / Kielar Patryk): It is good. It was my dream so it is a dream come true. It was just chill driving and nothing special. Somewhere in the middle for road position will be great.
24. 07. 2026 21:45 CET QS flash info (18 - Rzeźnik Adrian / Kozdroń Kamil): The conditions is not perfect for us but for us it is a great rally. We will keep fingers crossed for us. The stages will be difficult with some difficult sections. I hope we will have sun I don't like the rainy days.
24. 07. 2026 21:43 CET QS flash info (14 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): First of all I'm really happy to be here again. When I see the people around the stage my heart is really big. To be honest I don't want to be first on the road tomorrow. I don't want to be first.
24. 07. 2026 21:42 CET QS flash info (12 - Blach Roberto / Sosa Daniel): I go out in one braking zone and it is a pity because the pace was good. I tried to push a lot and these things can happen.
24. 07. 2026 21:42 CET QS (12 - Blach Roberto / Sosa Daniel): was out of road
24. 07. 2026 21:41 CET QS flash info (10 - Charpentier Tristan / Jamoul Renaud): It is hard to tell what to expect from me. It is the first time on these type of roads. It will be an experience. We are looking forward to it.
24. 07. 2026 21:41 CET QS flash info (9 - Stříteský Dominik / Krajča Ondřej): I'm really surprised with the time. We enjoyed it a lot. I don't know if it is a good position for tomorrow. We will see.
24. 07. 2026 21:41 CET QS flash info (8 - Matulka Jakub / Dymurski Daniel): I was trying in here but I was a bit too careful in the small gravel parts.
24. 07. 2026 21:40 CET QS flash info (7 - Bulacia Marco / Murado José): It is a completely different rally to what I did in Sierra Morena and Rome. It is a bit more similar to gravel. I hope we can enjoy and I can see we are more or less on the pace.
24. 07. 2026 21:40 CET QS flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): It is hard to know where you want to be on the road. You can play mind games so it is easy to have a mistake,. We just tried to have a clean run. It is going to be a tricky rally and the weather is holding up.
24. 07. 2026 21:39 CET QS flash info (5 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It is a nice rally. I like the Polish roads both tarmac and gravel. It will be a challenging rally for everyone as the stages are interesting. This qualifying is a bit different from what we will see in the event.
24. 07. 2026 21:39 CET QS flash info (4 - Reiersen Isak / Gustafsson Stefan): I'm feeling well. I'm really enjoying being in Poland and last time we were here we were on gravel. It is good to try out the wet conditions and we had some nice slides. We are looking forward to the weekend.
24. 07. 2026 21:39 CET QS flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Gospodarczyk Szymon): We are happy that we are in Poland and I'm happy we have a strong group of Polish teams that can fight. I hope this weekend will be good for Poland I don't know which crew.
