24. 05. 2026 17:55 CET 16 flash info (22 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): We have been trying to get this for quite a long time. It's quite a nice feeling, you know, [it's been] quite a long weekend, fighting like anything to get any tenths of a second, and competing hard all the time. And the result is this. Actually, this was the target, and I can be really happy now.
24. 05. 2026 17:52 CET 16 flash info (3 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Being back here in ERC where we started from, Team MRF Tyres, our SRT squad is always wonderful here and, you know, it's a pure joy to come back here.
24. 05. 2026 17:47 CET 16 flash info (11 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): What a week. The pace has been so high in every stage. Once you lose a little bit of feeling, your seconds just run away. The car has been working perfect.
24. 05. 2026 17:47 CET 16 flash info (14 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): I just tried to play some games. It's so nice, you know. The last months have been so tricky for me. Really difficult with struggling with what has happened in rallying. Also at home trying to find a budget. I've been suffering from some chest pains, overworking. I have to say thank you to everybody who made this possible.
24. 05. 2026 17:41 CET 16 flash info (25 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): Just by the end again, I'm so disappointed. We are out of tyres, it is the end for us.
24. 05. 2026 17:41 CET 16 flash info (10 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): I want to thank MRF for the possibility to be at the start of this event. I've been in places, let's say, it's not good to say fast, but almost fast in places. I've been smart. It was a good rally for us and we enjoyed a lot.
24. 05. 2026 17:41 CET 16 flash info (20 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Fredriksson Anders): I mean, it's been a tough and long rally. It's crazy how much 6K on the qualifying destroyed the whole weekend. 18 to 7 on the day, it's not too bad. I have to say thank you to MRF and Vivek, who is still trusting the old boy. SRT as well, and all my friends and my sponsors.
24. 05. 2026 17:41 CET 16 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Dymurski Daniel): It's good for us after the first round, Sierra Morena, which was really tough, that we are on the finish line. For sure, the pace of driving was not like we expected, but we also know that always this is the hardest rally for our package. But I'm trying to fight every time, and before this weekend, I was thinking that we can fight for the higher position. It's good that we are on the finish line. I'm not fully happy with my performance, but the basics were done to fight more on the tarmac rallies. The confidence is getting higher. I was trying to keep the speed till the end, but it will be too slow here one more time. But okay, now it's time for the tarmac and it's necessary to be at a much better pace and confidence on the tarmac events.
24. 05. 2026 17:40 CET 16 flash info (30 - Semenuk Brandon / Williams Keaton): My expectations for my driving, not so good. I know I could do a lot better than this, but again, it's been very little time in the car in the last year or so. I should be, you know, fairly happy about my week. I enjoyed it so much. The roads are amazing. All the Swedish people are awesome. ERC is a really cool championship. I'd love to do it again. Yeah, so all in all, good experience. Maybe a bit frustrated about my driving, but we can improve on things and come back and hopefully have a better show.
24. 05. 2026 17:40 CET 16 flash info (4 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): Well, the performance was not what we expected, but actually we know what's the issue, why we are not in the place we came here to be. But okay, we enjoyed it a lot. You know, the stages are really fun to drive, really fast. I really enjoy these type of rallies. So yeah, just a good feeling and good learning also for Estonia - that will be our next WRC event.
24. 05. 2026 17:39 CET 16 flash info (27 - Nõgene Joosep Ralf / Lesk Aleks): Well, I'm actually feeling really happy, all things considered. I mean, I think our pace was a lot better than we expected. It's, of course, it's a shame for what happened yesterday in the service [with a penalty for late check out], but I mean, that's also a part of rallying and it's a team sport, so yeah, no hard feelings for that.
24. 05. 2026 17:21 CET 16 flash info (23 - Vaher Jaspar / Jansen Rait): Our performance was definitely much better than we expected, and I think we gave quite a good fight for the first place. But yeah, you know, we were quite on the limit today and just made a really minor mistake, but the consequences were quite big. I would just like to say a big thank you to the whole Red Grey team. After this damage that we had, they did an incredible job to get this car back out here running, and it's perfect. So big thank you to you and also everyone who supported us this weekend and watching the live TV and coming here to spectate. It's really means a lot to me, so a big thank you.
24. 05. 2026 17:21 CET 16 flash info (8 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): Two long days are done. It's not so easy. We tried to, we planned this weekend to be on the podium, but it is so, so difficult because the car, it's not perfect yet, but all the time it's better and now the car will be good. But yeah, this stage we pushed too hard and we spun on one corner, but yeah, it's good ending this rally.
24. 05. 2026 17:16 CET 16 flash info (37 - Vatanen Ville / Ojala Joonas): The feeling is unbelievable. After Spain, my target here was the win, and we made it, so it's really amazing.
24. 05. 2026 17:14 CET 16 flash info (40 - Rahill Craig / Smith Conor): It's really cool to be opening the Power Stage here in Sweden, and yeah, it's been a great weekend. You know, we came with a goal here this weekend just to build mileage and experience on these fast, crazy stages. And yeah, we got closer and closer to Ville right through the weekend, and so happy and, you know, I'm so grateful to be able to get so much seat time in this car in the last two months. You know, I've nearly been in the car every weekend, and that's just a huge thanks to the Academy and all my sponsors. And, yeah, just fair play to Ville. He drove a storm on this rally, and, you know, we'll not leave it that handy from now in Rome when we get to the tarmac.
24. 05. 2026 16:19 CET 16 Starting order: Rahill, Vatanen, Kauppinen, Vaher, Nögene, Zaldivar, Semenuk, Marczyk, Brynildsen, Tempestini, Hallberg, Carlberg, Reiersen, Sesks, Heikkilä
24. 05. 2026 17:13 CET 15 retired (42 - Proudlock Robert / Marchbank Harry): retired after SS 15
24. 05. 2026 16:13 CET 15 retired (19 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): accident in SS 15
24. 05. 2026 16:12 CET 15 retired (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): accident in SS 15
24. 05. 2026 16:11 CET 15 flash info (3 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): This one was really good, felt really okay, so yeah, one more to go.
24. 05. 2026 16:11 CET 15 flash info (11 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): It's very tricky. We're really, really trying. Maybe a little bit too much in some parts. Last stage and this stage was actually good for me. I'm really trying, but we are fighting the best, some of the best drivers in the world. So it's tough. You don't come here and think that you're going to take a couple of seconds here and there. So it's hard, but we are really trying.
24. 05. 2026 16:11 CET 15 flash info (27 - Nõgene Joosep Ralf / Lesk Aleks): In the last few moments, we lost some time there, but yeah, again, one stage done, so looking forward to the next one.
24. 05. 2026 16:10 CET 15 flash info (14 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): I'm struggling a lot. I have no confidence. To be honest, I think it's, you know, all the things that have happened in the past now, I just want to reach the finish, have a cold beer with my friends and say that I did a good rally. So I don't want to stand in the forest and have a Toyota to buy. So it's difficult, you know, struggling like in the beginning of the rally, just thinking a bit too much, which is not the right thing, but in the end, you know, I'm here to learn. P5 versus P6, who cares? The beer tastes the same either way.
24. 05. 2026 16:10 CET 15 flash info (25 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): I was a bit careful now, didn't really get the same rhythm as the first round, but okay, felt okay.
24. 05. 2026 16:10 CET 15 flash info (10 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): Even more difficult than the previous pass, I think, on this one for me. I'm struggling a bit with the surface because in my head I can go much faster, but yeah, when I enter into the corner, sometimes I'm a bit surprised. So I'm trying to keep a good rhythm without taking too big risks. Maybe I have made the car a bit too soft for this surface. I will try to change something for the Power Stage.
24. 05. 2026 16:10 CET 15 flash info (30 - Semenuk Brandon / Williams Keaton): Yeah, I mean, it's going. Just trying to enjoy the last two stages. So, I don't know, not amazing, but made the most of it.
24. 05. 2026 16:09 CET 15 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Dymurski Daniel): Yeah, this one is with more constant grip, but I have unfortunately not used the proper possibilities of this grip. I had some issues with entering the corners. Without drama and without problems, but not as fast as it should be.
24. 05. 2026 14:42 CET 14 retired (7 - Matulka Jakub / Syty Damian): accident in SS 14
24. 05. 2026 14:41 CET 14 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): Some slippy places, I took it a bit carefully. Seems like a bit too much, but we still have a lead. We know now the grip level, and on the next loop, we can push.
24. 05. 2026 14:41 CET 14 flash info (22 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): Doesn't matter, we have spare tyres. Second to last corner, there was something inside and it clipped the tyre, but luckily we have a spare tyre, no panic.
24. 05. 2026 14:41 CET 14 (22 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): puncture
24. 05. 2026 14:41 CET 14 flash info (3 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I remember Mathieu Franceschi had a moment there. Yeah, that's why I braked this year.
24. 05. 2026 14:40 CET 14 flash info (11 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): It's so weird with the anti-cuts. There was two big blocks laying in the middle of the road in one corner, another corner it was just empty. It's hard, really hard. So it disturbs a little bit, especially on this stage where many of them are unseen.
24. 05. 2026 14:40 CET 14 flash info (14 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): I don't know, I'm struggling a lot now. It felt really good this morning, but now I have no confidence at all. It's like the grip just went away on these roads. I don't know. Super, super difficult, you know. The result, the fight for me is not that important. It's more important to have a car and not having to pay damage, so yeah, we'll see. I'll just continue my driving and then see where we end up.
24. 05. 2026 14:40 CET 14 flash info (25 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): I clipped a rock in there, but it was towards the end, so I don't think I lost that much time. I felt it in the last few corners but I think it should be okay.
24. 05. 2026 14:39 CET 14 (25 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): puncture
24. 05. 2026 14:39 CET 14 flash info (10 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): At the moment, this one is not my favourite stage, but yeah, we have a lot of time until we come back here. For sure, we will have some regroup before the Power Stage, so I think we can reset a bit, but with so many guys so fast, I think I'm not the favourite to take the first place on the Power Stage, but for sure we will try to have a good run.
24. 05. 2026 14:39 CET 14 flash info (30 - Semenuk Brandon / Williams Keaton): The car's okay, to be fair. Yeah, just not my day. Usually, I mean, I'm usually sweeping a lot back in dirt racing in America, but for whatever reason, the loose is just making it extra hard.
24. 05. 2026 14:39 CET 14 flash info (4 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): It's actually quite fun to drive, still slippy, but enjoying it.
24. 05. 2026 14:38 CET 14 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Dymurski Daniel): Both of the afternoon stages are very tricky, especially when we are second car on the road, and this one is really tough to be very fast. In one place I hit something in the left front wheel. It was not fast like it should be, but okay, we will come back here for the power stage.
24. 05. 2026 14:38 CET 14 flash info (8 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): Feeling is good and I pushed the limit. Let's see how much I lost. Yeah, it's a very nice day. I like it.
24. 05. 2026 14:47 CET 13 retired (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): retired after SS 13
24. 05. 2026 14:29 CET 13 retired (44 - Hakalehto Aatu / Koponen Ari): accident in SS 13
24. 05. 2026 13:53 CET 13 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): It was okay. Quite slippy in places, but I think we found good things for the car, so we can be happy for that.
24. 05. 2026 13:53 CET 13 flash info (22 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): Let's see if it's enough. I'm afraid it will be not enough. The grip was much, much lower than in the morning.
24. 05. 2026 13:53 CET 13 flash info (3 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It wasn't the best, but still okay. I think we are still managing quite okay this one.
24. 05. 2026 13:53 CET 13 flash info (11 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): It's easy to forget when you're driving against a WRC driver, he doesn't change timing bands tomorrow at work, so we are a bit different there. You need to be at that level to compete with them, and yeah, let's see. I was a little bit too cautious at the beginning, I think.
24. 05. 2026 13:52 CET 13 flash info (27 - Nõgene Joosep Ralf / Lesk Aleks): I mean, quite messy. The line wasn't very clean, and I think on the last big braking, I almost thought that we were gonna end up in someone's living room.
24. 05. 2026 13:52 CET 13 flash info (14 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): Yeah, big moment. Just no grip at all, like super, super slippery and I don't know, I didn't feel comfortable at all and I don't know if the pace note is a bit wrong, just super slippery over the crest.
24. 05. 2026 13:51 CET 13 flash info (25 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): It was good. Did some changes again and found a little bit more grip, so I'm happy with the car now. I tried, but the guys behind are fast.
24. 05. 2026 13:51 CET 13 flash info (10 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): Like I said before, I expected that to be a tricky stage. At the beginning, it was a car on the road. We knew that there is a car on the right, but I didn't expect the car to be so much in the road. It's an okay stage.
24. 05. 2026 13:50 CET 13 flash info (30 - Semenuk Brandon / Williams Keaton): I out-braked myself at a junction and entered the ditch a bit, so I think we're okay, but just a stupid mistake again.
24. 05. 2026 13:49 CET 13 (4 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): spun
24. 05. 2026 13:49 CET 13 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Dymurski Daniel): We are trying. There was some good moments and also some actions. Two or three times we were over the limit of the grip. It was not easy. We were for the most part of the stage second car on the road and it's not the grip I would like, but for sure I'm happy with my character here because I was trying.
24. 05. 2026 13:49 CET 13 flash info (8 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): Not easy, slippery, but yeah, car feels a little bit better now. Some mistakes, and I lost a lot of time.
24. 05. 2026 13:17 CET 13 retired (28 - Matsushita Takumi / Kelander Pekka): accident in SS 13
24. 05. 2026 11:10 CET 12 (9 - Charpentier Tristan / Pascaud Loris): puncture
24. 05. 2026 11:06 CET 12 (19 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): puncture
24. 05. 2026 11:06 CET 12 (19 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): was out of road
24. 05. 2026 11:05 CET 12 (23 - Vaher Jaspar / Jansen Rait): accident in SS 12
24. 05. 2026 11:05 CET 12 flash info (22 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): A really, really nice day. This is very enjoyable and for sure worth for all the phone calls I need to make to get the budget for rallying. So this was really nice.
24. 05. 2026 11:05 CET 12 flash info (3 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Actually, this one was not too bad. I think we found a good feeling after the first loop, and you know, with the tyre and everything, it's worked better on the second pass. So let's see what we can do to continue like this.
24. 05. 2026 11:04 CET 12 flash info (11 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): I hit a big stone...there must be slow puncture or really damaged rim, bad vibrations, and then you can't really commit, and then you're off. So tough, tough second loop on these stages.
24. 05. 2026 11:04 CET 12 flash info (14 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): Not taking the last risk, so I understand how Hallberg can be faster, it's fine. We're trying to manage, just getting through. I think we're learning from every stage.
24. 05. 2026 11:04 CET 12 flash info (25 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): We did some changes to the car. The feeling is better now with a little bit more grip in the road. There's still much more to find. But at least the feeling is better now.
24. 05. 2026 11:03 CET 12 flash info (10 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): I feel good. It was a good loop. This one, I don't know why I didn't feel too good, in many places I think I could be faster. But yeah, that's it. Now we have two short stages, but they are really, really tough, so we need to keep the focus on.
24. 05. 2026 11:03 CET 12 flash info (30 - Semenuk Brandon / Williams Keaton): Really bad, super bad for me, but okay, maybe we'll learn something from this. We're just not quite right with the car and just struggling with the feeling, so not committing, and on stages this fast, you just can't compromise, It's so much quicker than yesterday.
24. 05. 2026 11:03 CET 12 flash info (4 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): Well, yeah, to be honest, the tyres are not working, so yeah, it's really difficult to keep the car in the line, but yeah, it is what it is. We are here to enjoy. The stages are really fun, so yeah, we are having fun inside the car.
24. 05. 2026 11:02 CET 12 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Dymurski Daniel): It was average. The speed was not like we would like, but also that was not something bad. It's like trying to get the maximum of my confidence and then performance from the package, which is hard to be very, very good. Now we have around 30km remaining. More slippy, I think, but also the temperature will be very high, which means it will be one more time not easy for us, but we will try till the end.
24. 05. 2026 11:02 CET 12 flash info (8 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): Not such an easy morning, and on stage we hit a rock and punctured, but yeah, we try to do something after the lunch.
24. 05. 2026 11:02 CET 12 flash info (28 - Matsushita Takumi / Kelander Pekka): I think it the line becomes much better, but the line is so narrow, so I need to respect that. But it was better than the last special stage.
24. 05. 2026 11:01 CET 11 flash info (23 - Vaher Jaspar / Jansen Rait): We were pushing quite a lot...I had many big slides, like full lock-up and yeah, a bit scary at times, but yeah, it was okay stage.
24. 05. 2026 11:01 CET 11 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): Immediately when we get a bit more grip, we are getting a bit more pace and I had a good clean stage now. Yeah, it definitely was a great stage.
24. 05. 2026 11:01 CET 11 flash info (22 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): At the beginning, in almost the first corner, we had a massive slide. I lost the rear...and after that, we had a long straight, so we were losing like one or two seconds within that. After that, I was a bit too hesitant all the time, but towards the end, it was better.
24. 05. 2026 11:01 CET 11 flash info (11 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): Starting to lose a little bit now. I don't know really what it is. It is really committing to the grip that was in there. Some corners, in the shadows, it's really slippy, and some other corners, it's just flat with no problems. So, we'll see if we'll have some things to think about now.
24. 05. 2026 11:00 CET 11 retired (21 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): technical problem - alternator in SS 11
24. 05. 2026 11:00 CET 11 flash info (27 - Nõgene Joosep Ralf / Lesk Aleks): The last third of the stage there, the rear tyres started moving a lot, so that is a bit of a challenge.
24. 05. 2026 11:00 CET 11 flash info (14 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): The grip was so much better now. So yeah, the corners where I couldn't go flat the last time, I could be flat now. So I really tried, but it was a little bit too much in some corners. You know, towards the end, you have to have the flow. And when you're pushing too much in one corner, then you're losing time in the next. So I need to learn that, you know, the limit of where I should be. I'm using the steering wheel a bit too much as well, turning too many times, but that comes with confidence.
24. 05. 2026 10:59 CET 11 flash info (25 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): It's good. Of course, it's nice to have close battles, but yeah, couldn't really get the rhythm on the first two stages, but this one felt a little better, so hoping to keep improving this afternoon.
24. 05. 2026 10:59 CET 11 flash info (10 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It was a nice stage. Really, really nice one. It was very, very fast...the average speed on the dash is 131km per hour in 19km. The guys in front are doing a really, really great job. They are so fast. We are trying to improve our rhythm. The pace notes are good. I thought that during the recce, even with the early time, I had not done a good job, but on this one, the pace notes are really good.
24. 05. 2026 10:59 CET 11 flash info (30 - Semenuk Brandon / Williams Keaton): I am just struggling. Yeah, I don't know. Not much I can do. Just maybe a little bit off with the setup or something, but uh, hard to get the confidence.
24. 05. 2026 10:59 CET 11 flash info (4 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): It was really fast and flowing. I really enjoy these type of stages and yeah, we are still cleaning a bit for the guys in the back, but to be honest, I enjoyed quite a lot the stage.
24. 05. 2026 10:58 CET 11 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Dymurski Daniel): Driving makes me not happy for all the weekend because it's not the place where we would like to be and it's not the driving level where I would like to be at. Yeah, it was quite a tough last 5km for our rear tyres, but it's okay. Not a very good pace. Probably normally I should drive here 10-15secs faster, but it's okay. We need to be focused and do our best from what we have.
24. 05. 2026 10:58 CET 11 flash info (8 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): Grip is good. Okay, the feeling is not best at all, but I don't know...it's a catastrophe.
24. 05. 2026 10:58 CET 11 (28 - Matsushita Takumi / Kelander Pekka): was out of road

24. 05. 2026 09:30 CET 10 flash info (23 - Vaher Jaspar / Jansen Rait): Just pushing a bit more, I would say. You know, I have to try a little bit, you know, because it's, okay, the first one was quite difficult for us. It's so fast and the surface is so compact, so it's hard for me, but this stage is a bit more loose, so it's a bit more familiar, but, you know, I just, I try to find this good feeling, you know. The guys are so fast that you just have to try a little bit extra.
24. 05. 2026 09:30 CET 10 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): Again, the same thing. We are here with a bit slippery conditions and not finding enough throttle.
24. 05. 2026 09:29 CET 10 flash info (22 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): Like, it was almost like a good run. I had a small, it's, maybe you don't count it as a moment, but for me it was a moment. I went through the high-speed corner to the ditch with the front in it and pulled the front to the ditch side, so I was full locked with the steering at like 260km per hour, so it was fun, but yeah, quite nice, nice stage. I hope it's enough.
24. 05. 2026 09:29 CET 10 flash info (3 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Yeah, we did some improvements with the car because the balance changes as we change some things on the car. Yeah, obviously, that's developing the car, developing the tyres... we haven't been for a while in the car. And these are these small details which cost a lot.
24. 05. 2026 09:29 CET 10 flash info (11 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): I had my first huge moment in here, full lock on a flat corner. Nice feeling to be here. Yeah, it's a good start for the day. We'll see how the others do. I think it was a little bit too much cleaning. I used a little bit more of the road, really leaned the car into the ditch and it's loose gravel. So maybe it was a little bit too much at that point.
24. 05. 2026 09:28 CET 10 flash info (21 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): The stages are so fast, so it's difficult not to make small mistakes, but overall really happy with the morning.
24. 05. 2026 09:28 CET 10 (27 - Nõgene Joosep Ralf / Lesk Aleks): was out of road
24. 05. 2026 09:28 CET 10 flash info (14 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): I'm not unhappy, you know, the inter-team battle with Hallberg, I'm gonna callthe team manager now to tell him, you know, team orders, and how much I have to pay for him to make team orders. No, no, I love it. Hallberg has always been a good competition for me, and I'm enjoying fighting with him.
24. 05. 2026 09:27 CET 10 flash info (25 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): It was okay. A lot of change in grip and I don't feel really in the grip I want, so yeah, struggling a little bit.
24. 05. 2026 09:27 CET 10 flash info (10 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): Okay, maybe it's because I'm sleeping and I'm not thinking too much, but it's okay. A good stage also this one. The previous one, it was really fast in section and like I said, the gravel was really hard. Here, it was a bit softer, so for sure the cleaning is helping me and will help a lot more also the guys behind, but yeah, we are enjoying.
24. 05. 2026 09:27 CET 10 flash info (30 - Semenuk Brandon / Williams Keaton): Just to try and help with some of the sweeping, but it seems to be working, actually. I think we're maybe just too stiff with the car overall, but yeah, I don't know. It's okay, struggling a bit.
24. 05. 2026 09:27 CET 10 flash info (4 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): This is way too much cleaning, but okay, we're enjoying the stage. It's really fun to drive in here, so yeah, just enjoying the day.
24. 05. 2026 09:26 CET 10 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Dymurski Daniel): eah, it's not easy for me to feel the grip because there are some places where already the slide is not bad, but also there are places where it will be a huge difference after 10 cars, especially on the braking in the first part of the stage. But it's hard because we have, in overall, the grip in the tyre, but it's made for the wet conditions, and when we are in this position, the car is not giving the performance and not easy to feel the final potential grip. There are many places where I'm too early, like 20, 30 metres, and then there are some places where I over-pushing, and I'm trying to get to the grip, driving not very fast and not very, I would say, safe.
24. 05. 2026 09:26 CET 10 flash info (8 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): I don't know. Difficult. This is a little bit better. I don't know.
24. 05. 2026 09:26 CET 10 flash info (28 - Matsushita Takumi / Kelander Pekka): Yeah, this stage was much more loose than the last one, so it was a bit more difficult for me to drive.
24. 05. 2026 08:20 CET 9 flash info (23 - Vaher Jaspar / Jansen Rait): Not a great stage, a little bit cautious.
24. 05. 2026 08:20 CET 9 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): Especially close to end it was really slippy.
24. 05. 2026 08:16 CET 9 flash info (22 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): Really really slippy, quite a lot of fighting, difficult to avoid sliding, but I think we did very well, no mistakes.
24. 05. 2026 08:15 CET 9 flash info (3 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It was quite tricky to drive. I think yeah, we didn't find something for this morning.
24. 05. 2026 08:15 CET 9 flash info (11 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): It was good, but so difficult to judge the grip in there this morning.
24. 05. 2026 08:14 CET 9 flash info (21 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): It was hard to get into the flow so so early in the morning but I tried to push all the way.
24. 05. 2026 08:09 CET 9 flash info (14 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): It was great, feels like being in Finland so I'm pretty sure the Finnish guys soon will feel like home on this stage so much fun here I'm enjoying it so much - the car is feeling great now, it's just that mindset that if you want to be at the top you just have to switch your brain off and yeah you know I'm stupid but not that stupid.
24. 05. 2026 08:05 CET 9 flash info (25 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): Okay stage in there. I think started off good but a little bit cautious towards the end so that's OK.
24. 05. 2026 08:04 CET 9 flash info (10 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It's too early to speak about feelings, the grip was good in there. I expected it to be a bit more soft after the rain yesterday.
24. 05. 2026 08:01 CET 9 flash info (30 - Semenuk Brandon / Williams Keaton): Very different this morning, yeah not good for us, we’re here, we will keep going.
24. 05. 2026 08:00 CET 9 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Dymurski Daniel): The grip level is not bad in some places for sure it will be better but it's possible to drive quite fast.
24. 05. 2026 07:53 CET 9 Weather in Karlstad is sunny, temperature is around 18°C.
24. 05. 2026 07:37 CET 8 retired (18 - Kolčák Róbert / Lapdavský Július): disqualified

23. 05. 2026 17:59 CET 8 flash info (23 - Vaher Jaspar / Jansen Rait): Overall it has been a really good day I must say I couldn't have expected this kind of thing. This puncture ruined our plans a bit but it is part of the game so I took this stage carefully. We need to make our preparations for tomorrow and continue in the same way.
23. 05. 2026 17:55 CET 8 flash info (22 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): If you look at times to day, five seconds is a lot. I don't care about the time in this stage, it was super fun.
23. 05. 2026 17:55 CET 8 flash info (11 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): It was same like before. There is something we need to work on with the deep ruts to find the set up and driving style. Overall we are happy with the day. I stretched myself with what I was capable of.
23. 05. 2026 17:51 CET 8 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): That was what we expected. In had some quite bad hits from the stones but otherwise it was a pretty good stage. It has been a good day.
23. 05. 2026 17:49 CET 8 flash info (3 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I wanted to push actually but the road was quite tricky with all the bumps and everything and loose rocks. It was not ideal.
23. 05. 2026 17:49 CET 8 flash info (10 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): I'm happy we are hare at the end of this challenging day with so many nice stages. We will have a short night to prepare for tomorrow's stages which are really tough also. We still keep the focus.
23. 05. 2026 17:48 CET 8 flash info (4 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): I was still struggling a bit. It felt better in some places. We managed to finish the day and we are happy with some things, but it is not where we expected to be.
23. 05. 2026 17:48 CET 8 flash info (30 - Semenuk Brandon / Williams Keaton): We hit the jump flat again but I don't think we got the drive. The stage was rough and I was happy to get through it.
23. 05. 2026 17:48 CET 8 flash info (24 - Gustafsson Kalle / Hjerpe Jim): It was the main switch on the windscreen, it cut off all the power.
23. 05. 2026 17:42 CET 8 flash info (25 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): I was thinking if I cannot be in the fight for the lead I should get some extra metres so I went flat over the jump. We had some ups and down but generally I'm quite happy.
23. 05. 2026 17:42 CET 8 flash info (21 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): I like this stage but maybe not the second loop as there was so many ruts and rocks in ether. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
23. 05. 2026 17:41 CET 8 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Dymurski Daniel): We did some changes with the car and I was pushing myself to be more aggressive in the ruts. It is good that we came back as the last bit of the previous stage was disaster. Tomorrow will not be easy but it is still better than if we start earlier on the road.
23. 05. 2026 17:41 CET 8 (24 - Gustafsson Kalle / Hjerpe Jim): stopped after jump with main switch off
23. 05. 2026 17:40 CET 8 flash info (14 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): I was flat with a little bit off left foot brake but otherwise it was flat. I didn't know Toyota made aeroplanes but it was so much fun. When I was six year old this was my entry point to rallying. It is so amazing to get to do it myself.
23. 05. 2026 17:40 CET 8 flash info (8 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): It was a good stage. There were a lot of ruts but it was a clean end to the day. I'm not happy with this result but we will try tomorrow and push more.
23. 05. 2026 17:40 CET 8 flash info (7 - Matulka Jakub / Syty Damian): It felt ok. The stage was pretty destroyed and we had a few moments in the ruts at the beginning and I wanted to be careful. Let's see for tomorrow. There are a lot of things to do but we will get there.
23. 05. 2026 17:39 CET 8 flash info (19 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): Jump was 45 m. It was definitely flat I couldn't do any more. It was good I enjoyed it. It was good fun that.
23. 05. 2026 17:39 CET 8 flash info (20 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Fredriksson Anders): I can tell it's not going very faster, but the right one was really nasty with the rocks. It doesn't go any faster with 152 on the take off. I hope I win the digger so Mats can rent it from me.
23. 05. 2026 17:38 CET 8 flash info (9 - Charpentier Tristan / Pascaud Loris): It was ok. There was a lot of cleaning and lot of learning. Tomorrow should be better.
23. 05. 2026 17:38 CET 8 (20 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Fredriksson Anders): stopped in stage, continue
23. 05. 2026 18:15 CET 7 retired (33 - Lichtenegger Maximilian / Ettel Bernhard): technical problem - damper after SS 7
23. 05. 2026 18:14 CET 7 (33 - Lichtenegger Maximilian / Ettel Bernhard): puncture
23. 05. 2026 18:00 CET 7 retired (42 - Proudlock Robert / Marchbank Harry): retired in SS 7
23. 05. 2026 17:37 CET 7 flash info (23 - Vaher Jaspar / Jansen Rait): In some places I was quite cautious because of the ruts. In some places I went out of the ruts to avoid the rocks. It is a shame we got the puncture in the last stage. This one was clean so we enjoyed it. I will try to be clean on the next one.
23. 05. 2026 17:37 CET 7 flash info (22 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): The tyre working ok. Somehow we need to find more pace for tomorrow, ok we have one more to go today. I am trying to go fast, but it is not enough.
23. 05. 2026 17:37 CET 7 flash info (11 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): It is so hard. I have never driven this hard in my life I think. You have to send it and hope it will work. I will try to minimise the loss in Colins in the next one.
23. 05. 2026 17:36 CET 7 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): It felt pretty good. We had quite a good compromise with the set up. It is interesting.
23. 05. 2026 17:36 CET 7 flash info (3 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): In one place the anti cut was moved by one metre. That is one of the things they have been moving a lot in the rally,. It is a game changer in some places. In the past two stages it is working tyre gamble.
23. 05. 2026 17:35 CET 7 flash info (10 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It was an ok stage for us. We are trying to learn a few new things. It is a good rally for the moment. Unfortunately because of the rock that caused a puncture in SS 6 I'm not driving with the same compound of tyres all around the car.
23. 05. 2026 17:35 CET 7 flash info (4 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): The level in ERC is quite high to be honest. We tried to understand the feeling with the car but at the moment I'm struggling. We need to see why.
23. 05. 2026 17:35 CET 7 flash info (30 - Semenuk Brandon / Williams Keaton): It was a little bit better this loop. We made change and it is helping. The times are looking better but there is still lots of improvement. We will see what we can do at Colin's Crest next.
23. 05. 2026 16:51 CET 7 flash info (25 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): It is great fight with Carlberg. I tried a bit more and we had a better feeling this time, so I'm happy.
23. 05. 2026 16:49 CET 7 flash info (21 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): There were some ruts and it changed throughout the stage. In some parts I felt good and in others the car hit the bottom and bounces a bit. It was quite tricky but happy with the run.
23. 05. 2026 16:49 CET 7 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Dymurski Daniel): I'm lacking confidence in the ruts. I'm not sure the car will turn.
23. 05. 2026 16:44 CET 7 flash info (24 - Gustafsson Kalle / Hjerpe Jim): It was quite rutted and there were a few hard hits on the car. It is good to have some protection underneath.
23. 05. 2026 16:44 CET 7 flash info (14 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): It is getting quite rutted in there. When it is super fast and ruts it is hard to get the car turned. I haven't driven this car at all in ruts. It is all about learning. I'm a bit cautious.
23. 05. 2026 16:43 CET 7 flash info (8 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): Medium Michelin tyre is better for me. The tyre has good grip. The car was a bit difficult.
23. 05. 2026 16:43 CET 7 flash info (7 - Matulka Jakub / Syty Damian): It was really nice and clean. There was nice grip. It was a good run and maybe the best so far.
23. 05. 2026 16:43 CET 7 flash info (19 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): I made a silly mistake in the last stage. The car is alright, it feels like it is driving ok. I''m happy enough.
23. 05. 2026 16:42 CET 7 flash info (20 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Fredriksson Anders): It was a good stage and a clean run. I had a lot of fun and I like the stage. There is nothing more I can do. That is how it is. I tried to enjoy. I can't do anything else but smile. This rally keeps giving and giving. I will try to go flat out on Colin's Crest next.
23. 05. 2026 16:47 CET 6 (18 - Kolčák Róbert / Lapdavský Július): puncture
23. 05. 2026 16:42 CET 6 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): A kilometre down the road there was a cut on the inside and there was a rock or something hard buried in the grass. I didn't see it on the recce and we hit and it broke the front suspension on the left. It is not the way we wanted to finish today. It is a big shame. Sorry to the team and hopefully we can get out tomorrow.
23. 05. 2026 15:53 CET 6 flash info (23 - Vaher Jaspar / Jansen Rait): We have got a puncture, front right so we lost lots of time.
23. 05. 2026 15:53 CET 6 (23 - Vaher Jaspar / Jansen Rait): puncture
23. 05. 2026 15:53 CET 6 flash info (22 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): There is not so much to say. I tried to push the maximum. It felt like I was losing the car and we had big slides all the time.
23. 05. 2026 15:52 CET 6 flash info (11 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): It was a little bit weird grip especially at the start and I didn't get comfortable in there and I lost a bit of the rhythm. It was a nice jump as well. It is a lot to lose to Sesks. We will see.
23. 05. 2026 15:49 CET 6 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): It is an interesting fight but it was quite bumpy and we were bottoming out too much.
23. 05. 2026 15:49 CET 6 flash info (3 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Well this one was good. I have good memories from this stage. I had a good feeling in here.
23. 05. 2026 15:48 CET 6 flash info (10 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It was a good stage but unfortunately we hit a big rock in a fast place just before the jump. I knew it was not good for the car. At least it was close to the end so we didn't lose too much time. I'm not happy.
23. 05. 2026 15:43 CET 6 (10 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): puncture
23. 05. 2026 15:43 CET 6 flash info (4 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): It was nothing special. I just need to be more committed in this stage. It's okay, we just try to do better next time.
23. 05. 2026 15:41 CET 6 flash info (30 - Semenuk Brandon / Williams Keaton): I don't actually know how I did so long jump. It was insane. I had a little bit more of rhythm Max McRae told me to hit the jump flat, so maybe I made up some time there.
23. 05. 2026 15:41 CET 6 flash info (25 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): It was not good. I don't know, I had no feeling in there at all. I was struggling a lot in the ruts. I need something more.
23. 05. 2026 15:40 CET 6 flash info (21 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): I think I went a bit too safe on the set up. I was expecting ,roe rain and ruts. It is my own car so I have to protect it.
23. 05. 2026 15:40 CET 6 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Dymurski Daniel): I was not happy with my driving. The grip level was changing a lot and it was hard to keep the lines. The stage is really amazing. If you feel nice it's really amazing, but that was not the case for us.
23. 05. 2026 15:40 CET 6 flash info (24 - Gustafsson Kalle / Hjerpe Jim): It is an amazing feeling over the jump. The car feels great now and we need a bit more commitment now to get the top times.
23. 05. 2026 15:31 CET 6 flash info (14 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): Next time I will go flat out. It was pretty slow driving to be honest I will do better next time.
23. 05. 2026 15:31 CET 6 flash info (8 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): It is very slippy and at the moment I'm too cautious. It is cool stage and very nice.
23. 05. 2026 15:30 CET 6 flash info (7 - Matulka Jakub / Syty Damian): I was expecting a bit more grip. This wasn't a good run for us. We will try to improve on the second run.
23. 05. 2026 15:23 CET 6 retired (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): damaged suspension in SS 6
23. 05. 2026 15:22 CET 6 flash info (19 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): It got away and it started to go into the tree but we were lucky to get away with it. I enjoyed that stage, good fun.
23. 05. 2026 15:21 CET 6 flash info (20 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Fredriksson Anders): Next time we can go flat out. It was a clean stage, good fun. I'm pushing quite hard. It is all about finding our own lines. We are really fighting and it is very demanding. I want to be much faster but that is what I can do at the moment.
23. 05. 2026 15:20 CET 6 retired (15 - Grahn Adam / Bäck Christoffer): technical problem - fuel pump in SS 6
23. 05. 2026 15:19 CET 6 raining
24. 05. 2026 19:30 CET 5 (52 - Buteikis Markas / Čapkauskas Titas): puncture
23. 05. 2026 15:19 CET 5 flash info (23 - Vaher Jaspar / Jansen Rait): It was quite ok I would say. I wouldn't say the rain affected the driving, Overall ok.
23. 05. 2026 15:19 CET 5 flash info (22 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): Again it seems to be difficult to be fastest on these stages. I don't know where to improve. There was not any big mistakes and it was a clean run. I need to be a bit more brave.
23. 05. 2026 15:19 CET 5 flash info (11 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): Yes it felt good. It was on the limit. There is some places where we know we could have held the throttle down more. I feel at home.
23. 05. 2026 15:18 CET 5 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): In some places it felt grippy but in some places slippy. For me, it could have been better.
23. 05. 2026 15:18 CET 5 flash info (3 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Actually I was bit too cautious and we did a big gamble with the tyre choice.
23. 05. 2026 15:18 CET 5 flash info (10 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): I tried to be happy. We are enjoying the rally a lot but normally I don't have problems with starting the stages, but I cannot understand these anti-cuts. I don't know why I saw anti cuts on a clean line. This is not enjoyable.
23. 05. 2026 15:17 CET 5 flash info (4 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): The feeling was really bad and I could be a bit faster. I'm still struggling to understand the grip of the car in these conditions with these tyres. It is tricky to read the grip. For sure I need t.o improve. I always like to fly
23. 05. 2026 15:17 CET 5 flash info (30 - Semenuk Brandon / Williams Keaton): We have softer stages and shorter stages and rain [so that's why we went with the tyre choice.
23. 05. 2026 15:16 CET 5 flash info (25 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): It was really fun and a bit less grip when it started to rain. I tired but I was still too cautious in some places.
23. 05. 2026 15:16 CET 5 flash info (21 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): I think the onboards are really useful for preparation. For me know I would like to have zero onboards as I know the stage from the last years. I have got some questions from people watching onboards from last year so I tried to help as good as I can.
23. 05. 2026 15:16 CET 5 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Dymurski Daniel): Our tyre the soft compound is working well in the damp. It is enough for us to have a very competitive package. With the anti cuts in some places I struggle with the confidence on the lines.
23. 05. 2026 14:41 CET 5 flash info (24 - Gustafsson Kalle / Hjerpe Jim): It is raining almost the whole stage. I want to thank my mechanics again to get the car repaired in service.
23. 05. 2026 14:41 CET 5 flash info (14 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): I feel like a dog getting a reward when you say I'm fastest through so far. I'm just trying to get through.
23. 05. 2026 14:41 CET 5 flash info (8 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): It is a little bit better. In some places I drove too slowly and I lost time. It is a better start.
23. 05. 2026 14:35 CET 5 flash info (7 - Matulka Jakub / Syty Damian): For now nothing, the rain only makes a difference in your head.
23. 05. 2026 14:34 CET 5 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): We changed a couple of things and it is hard to know where to look for the improvement. I tried to drive better and with the loose gravel and the rain, we probably left a bit in there. It was a clean stage.
23. 05. 2026 14:34 CET 5 flash info (19 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): The grip was a lot better in there than I thought to be honest. We were not committed enough.
23. 05. 2026 14:33 CET 5 flash info (20 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Fredriksson Anders): I'm not really sure. It was for quite a long time the wipers stopped working. I prayed for the rain and then we had no wipers. I think they are stuck on the ERC sticker. That's life. This is stage I love but I lost so much time.
23. 05. 2026 14:32 CET 5 flash info (9 - Charpentier Tristan / Pascaud Loris): The guys at the service did such a great job. They changed the gearbox and now it is working. We nearly stalled at the start I don't know what happened. Thanks to the team for what they did in service.
23. 05. 2026 14:32 CET 5 flash info (15 - Grahn Adam / Bäck Christoffer): Rain made a bit of difference. There is quite a bit of grip in this stage. We hope the rain won't destroy the stage. It was ok.
23. 05. 2026 14:22 CET 5 it is raining
23. 05. 2026 11:30 CET 4 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Dymurski Daniel): The grip level was much higher and in some corners we did a better job. It was possible to go five or seven seconds faster with my top driving. It is ok that we are here. We will need to see the next loop which will be much trickier and very fast. The first loop was ok with our set up.
23. 05. 2026 11:29 CET 4 flash info (24 - Gustafsson Kalle / Hjerpe Jim): This one was way better. The stage felt ok and we will fix the car for the next loop.
23. 05. 2026 11:29 CET 4 flash info (14 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): Sweden on top. That was good. I'm starting to get into it now. I'm happy. I'm driving not well but pretty well. There is some learning to do. We are here to lean. I had too much grip from the tyres.
23. 05. 2026 11:21 CET 4 flash info (7 - Matulka Jakub / Syty Damian): The road was a lot cleaner so it was more enjoyable and we could go with more pace. I think it was an okay run. There were a few places where we could improve and carry more speed. But a good run.
23. 05. 2026 11:21 CET 4 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): It is a completely different stage compared to the first time through. It is a nice feeling. But we went off and we had to reverse out. I was struggling to find a rhythm.
23. 05. 2026 11:20 CET 4 flash info (19 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): In the second last corner we ran wide and kissed the bank but nothing really major. It was a bit scrappy in there.
23. 05. 2026 11:14 CET 4 flash info (20 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Fredriksson Anders): Now it is a dream as you can brake and you have traction. I enjoyed it a lot. Now we can drive and it is so much better. It is a good stage and a good push.
23. 05. 2026 11:12 CET 4 (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): was out of road
23. 05. 2026 11:11 CET 4 flash info (9 - Charpentier Tristan / Pascaud Loris): I cannot up shift and I have to pull the clutch all the time. I feel like I'm back in the 80s.
23. 05. 2026 11:11 CET 4 flash info (15 - Grahn Adam / Bäck Christoffer): It was better and more flowing and much less loose. I need to work out this car.
23. 05. 2026 15:56 CET 3 retired (29 - Goto Shotaro / Lindberg Jussi): health issues after SS 3
23. 05. 2026 13:01 CET 3 retired (59 - Suliman Reis / Moore Lorcan): broken radiator in SS 3
23. 05. 2026 10:39 CET 3 (29 - Goto Shotaro / Lindberg Jussi): was out of road
23. 05. 2026 10:32 CET 3 flash info (23 - Vaher Jaspar / Jansen Rait): It felt good. The surface is much more what I'm used to. It was rutted but you can trust the grip. We had a push and it felt good.
23. 05. 2026 10:30 CET 3 flash info (22 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): It seems it is difficult o make fastest time in this rally. It was very tricky but it was clean run from us and we were a bit too careful with the braking. We didn't lose too much so I can't complain.
23. 05. 2026 10:29 CET 3 flash info (11 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): I actually did it in 2023 and I won my Swedish championship here in front wheel drive. I have some nice memories of this stage, I was struggling a bit with the loose gravel and so many times I was braking too much, and lost the speed in the corners. I had a bit of a bad feeling about this stage as there are deep ditches and fast corners. I am happy with that.
23. 05. 2026 10:29 CET 3 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): I'm not sure we had the best go this time but we will see.
23. 05. 2026 10:23 CET 3 flash info (3 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): We had quite a scary moment, we stalled and spun and everything. That was great fun. It felt good but we stopped and lost 10 seconds.
23. 05. 2026 10:23 CET 3 flash info (10 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It is a really fast stage. It was not easy to start and find the cars on the road. I hope everyone is ok. We lost a bit of rhythm. Sometimes it is difficult to trust the pacenotes. I'm doing my best and we are enjoying the gravel.
23. 05. 2026 10:19 CET 3 flash info (4 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): It was not the best. The pacenotes were really slow. There were a few corners where it was flat. It seems I woke up a bit too slow today. We need to reset.
23. 05. 2026 10:19 CET 3 (3 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): spun
23. 05. 2026 10:17 CET 3 flash info (30 - Semenuk Brandon / Williams Keaton): There are so many cuts in there. It is hard to know where to go and where not to go. I'm opening it up even more.
23. 05. 2026 10:14 CET 3 retired (5 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): accident in SS 3
23. 05. 2026 10:13 CET 3 flash info (25 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): It was slippery and I tried to find a good rhythm but I think I'm trying to push a little bit too much. I need to calm down a bit.
23. 05. 2026 10:13 CET 3 flash info (21 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): It is really fast and flowing. It is a nice stage. I could have taken more risk but all in all I'm happy. I'm happy with the start.
23. 05. 2026 10:13 CET 3 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Dymurski Daniel): It was ok. I was trying in some places but for sure there were places where you could go much faster and be brave. The most important thing is we are here without issue.
23. 05. 2026 10:07 CET 3 retired (17 - Korhola Benjamin / Öhman Patric): retired in SS 3
23. 05. 2026 10:07 CET 3 flash info (14 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): I don't trust you with so good time. Are sure there is not a fault? I was slow. This stage is so fast and without confidence you feel you are losing time. This is why I'm fastest through as I'm practicing in Richard Burns Rally game.
23. 05. 2026 10:06 CET 3 flash info (8 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): I pushed the limit but in some places I lost a lot of time.
23. 05. 2026 10:06 CET 3 flash info (7 - Matulka Jakub / Syty Damian): Not good. It was super slippery and super loose, I couldn't get the feeling or the rhythm. I had a few small situations. It is not a good run, but it is ok.
23. 05. 2026 10:06 CET 3 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): I think I did better there. I got in a better rhythm. In the fast sections we are not committing, We have just got to keep improving.
23. 05. 2026 10:06 CET 3 flash info (19 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): That loose stuff I have no experience of. It was awful. It is going to be a long day.
23. 05. 2026 10:05 CET 3 flash info (20 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Fredriksson Anders): We are digging really deep it is difficult. I can't blame the guys in front for not doing the proper line so I have to do my own line. The first stage wasn't so bad but this will be bad for cleaning. I'm searching for a clean line all the time. I hate to complain. I made a mistake yesterday and I will suffer all weekend.
23. 05. 2026 10:00 CET 3 (17 - Korhola Benjamin / Öhman Patric): was out of road
23. 05. 2026 09:39 CET 2 (59 - Suliman Reis / Moore Lorcan): was out of road
23. 05. 2026 09:02 CET 2 flash info (23 - Vaher Jaspar / Jansen Rait): It was nothing special. It was quite slippy. It was quite average.
23. 05. 2026 09:01 CET 2 flash info (22 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): It was quite ok but not too bad. I hear there is one Estonian behind us who is coming fast. It was an ok start.
23. 05. 2026 09:01 CET 2 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): It was good, really good. I really enjoyed the stage. There is a little bit more grip and we can use the potential of the car.
23. 05. 2026 09:00 CET 2 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): It was not the best. It is quite slippy and we are not getting traction. The tyres are working but I need to use the grip in a better way.
23. 05. 2026 08:59 CET 2 flash info (3 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It is not so bad. It is funny to say but I'm learning this car from new. It was 12 months ago since we drove it last time. We are slowly getting back there.
23. 05. 2026 08:59 CET 2 flash info (10 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It was ok. It was a good stage but unfortunately my rhythm was not perfect from the beginning. It was not easy.
23. 05. 2026 08:58 CET 2 flash info (4 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): It was not the best really. The other guys have a bit more experience and we are here to see what we can do. Hopefully we can improve this afternoon.
23. 05. 2026 08:58 CET 2 flash info (30 - Semenuk Brandon / Williams Keaton): It was ok to be fair. Maybe it is early but it is hard to be committed on a first pass. There are so many areas you can make a mistake. It was clean enough.
23. 05. 2026 08:57 CET 2 flash info (5 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): We are losing so much time before the straight. There is nothing I can say more. Let's see if we can do something for the next stage.
23. 05. 2026 08:57 CET 2 flash info (25 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): It was good. We had a few mistakes here and there but it is ok. I have no strategy other than going flat out.
23. 05. 2026 08:35 CET 2 flash info (21 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): It was a hefty start to the morning it is fast and flowing. It was a bit more slippy than I expected. I tried to push but all in all a good start.
23. 05. 2026 08:35 CET 2 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Dymurski Daniel): It was still quite slippy and the surface is dry but still the line is not perfect. It was ok for us in some places.
23. 05. 2026 08:35 CET 2 flash info (17 - Korhola Benjamin / Öhman Patric): It was not so bad but it is super fast. It is not so easy. There is many places we could have gone better. It is an ok start.
23. 05. 2026 08:34 CET 2 flash info (24 - Gustafsson Kalle / Hjerpe Jim): We braked a bit too late into a junction and we went into a ditch. We got quite stuck.
23. 05. 2026 08:34 CET 2 (24 - Gustafsson Kalle / Hjerpe Jim): was out of road
23. 05. 2026 08:33 CET 2 flash info (14 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): I wanted to see Peter McKay to say "fastest through so far". I'm sure people behind me will be faster.
23. 05. 2026 08:33 CET 2 flash info (8 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): It is a good stage. In some places it is loose gravel. It is a clean start and a good feeling.
23. 05. 2026 08:33 CET 2 flash info (7 - Matulka Jakub / Syty Damian): It was ok but quite slippery as expected. I should be cleaner in some places but we will try to do it on the next stages.
23. 05. 2026 08:32 CET 2 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): It is tricky, I tried to drive as clean as possible. It is difficult to try and find a rhythm. It is obviously going to get faster. It wasn't great.
23. 05. 2026 08:32 CET 2 flash info (19 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): It was very slippy and I'm not used to such little grip. I have to accept the road position.
23. 05. 2026 08:31 CET 2 flash info (20 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Fredriksson Anders): I was pushing quite a lot. It takes three corners to realise it is like driving on ice. I was creating my own line as the guys in front are not taking a proper line. I was out in the ditch. It was my mistake and it will be a tough and long day. I will dig deep and not give up.
23. 05. 2026 08:31 CET 2 flash info (9 - Charpentier Tristan / Pascaud Loris): It is a really nice stage but a lot of cleaning at the end.
23. 05. 2026 08:31 CET 2 flash info (15 - Grahn Adam / Bäck Christoffer): It was really difficult. It was quite slippery. It was really good fun and a good experience.
23. 05. 2026 08:30 CET 2 Weather in Karlstad is sunny, temperature is around 18°C.
22. 05. 2026 19:37 CET 1 flash info (30 - Semenuk Brandon / Williams Keaton): It could have been better. It is so different to the other stages but still good fun. Tomorrow looks good. It will be really tough as a lot of the others drivers know the stages.
22. 05. 2026 19:37 CET 1 flash info (29 - Goto Shotaro / Lindberg Jussi): I struggled to find the grip but I enjoyed it.
22. 05. 2026 19:37 CET 1 flash info (28 - Matsushita Takumi / Kelander Pekka): It is nice to drive the first stage. The last part was very fun but there was some surprises but it was still ok.
22. 05. 2026 19:36 CET 1 flash info (26 - Liljegren Tim / Sjöberg Karlsson Sofie): It was amazing with a lot of people. Not the best rally road but it was a lot of fun.
22. 05. 2026 19:36 CET 1 flash info (25 - Hallberg Patrik / Stigh John): It was good. It was a bit rutted but the feeling was ok and I'm glad to be through and looking forward to tomorrow.
22. 05. 2026 19:36 CET 1 flash info (24 - Gustafsson Kalle / Hjerpe Jim): We were pushing quite hard. We just tried to keep it nice and clean in the ruts.
22. 05. 2026 19:36 CET 1 flash info (23 - Vaher Jaspar / Jansen Rait): Let's say this stage is not so representative of what the rally is like. The real action start tomorrow.
22. 05. 2026 19:35 CET 1 flash info (22 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): I don't know about this time but qualifying went well and we didn't have any mistakes in here. I'm really looking forward as there are really nice stages coming.
22. 05. 2026 19:35 CET 1 flash info (21 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): I tried to push but it was a bit hard on the car. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
22. 05. 2026 19:35 CET 1 flash info (19 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): It was grand. I made a few mistakes at the end and dropped a second or too. The car feels good and tomorrow will be better.
22. 05. 2026 19:34 CET 1 flash info (18 - Kolčák Róbert / Lapdavský Július): We just enjoyed it. This is my first gravel event of my career. We need to learn how fast the stages are. Thank you for watching.
22. 05. 2026 19:34 CET 1 flash info (17 - Korhola Benjamin / Öhman Patric): I was having a lot fun and sometimes I was bit too sideways. It is good if the time is good.
22. 05. 2026 19:34 CET 1 flash info (16 - Német Gábor / Németh Gergely): It is a short stage but there are a lot of things to do in this stage.
22. 05. 2026 19:07 CET 1 flash info (15 - Grahn Adam / Bäck Christoffer): It was very slippery. I turned but the car didn't turn. It is a long day tomorrow, it is going to be fun.
22. 05. 2026 19:05 CET 1 flash info (14 - Carlberg Calle / Eriksen Jørgen): So many fans. It is slippery and really loose. I went a bit wide at some corners but I had a lot of fun. There are so many fans.
22. 05. 2026 19:02 CET 1 flash info (12 - Ragues Pierre / Pesenti Julien): It was nice but a little bit tricky, Tomorrow will be faster but we enjoyed it.
22. 05. 2026 19:01 CET 1 flash info (11 - Reiersen Isak / Gustavsson Stefan): There is a lot going on in there. There was a lot of drifting and throwing the car a bit too much. It is the best weekend of the year. A good result in qualifying makes our job a bit easier.
22. 05. 2026 19:00 CET 1 flash info (10 - Tempestini Simone / Maior Francesca): It is a nice stage, quite short and unfortunately the stages tomorrow are not looking like this. These kind of corners I like and it was fun to drive. Hopefully the people watching enjoyed it.
22. 05. 2026 18:56 CET 1 flash info (9 - Charpentier Tristan / Pascaud Loris): It was very slippery and tricky and it was very narrow. I still have to get used to the car I think.
22. 05. 2026 18:56 CET 1 flash info (8 - Kauppinen Tuukka / Luhtinen Topi): It was a good start and I pushed the limit and the car is working very good. It is a long rally. We will have to push the limit. It is nice to be here.
22. 05. 2026 18:56 CET 1 flash info (7 - Matulka Jakub / Syty Damian): It was nice. It is a technical stage and nice conditions, so it was enjoyable.
22. 05. 2026 18:56 CET 1 flash info (6 - Creighton William / Regan Liam): Usually we are dancing between the snow banks but tonight it is the piles of stones. I think our road position will help in there. It didn't feel great but we are through with no mistakes.
22. 05. 2026 18:55 CET 1 flash info (5 - Mabellini Andrea / Lenzi Virginia): It is ok. It is very slippery and I tried to be clean and keep the line. It was not easy at all. It is always fun to put on a good show for the people out there.
22. 05. 2026 18:55 CET 1 flash info (4 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): It was ok but very slippery. We need to see how the other guys will do as it will clean a lot. It was fun to drive but tricky.
22. 05. 2026 18:55 CET 1 flash info (3 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It was ok but very slippery. There is always another day.
22. 05. 2026 18:43 CET 1 flash info (2 - Marczyk Miko / Dymurski Daniel): It was slippy. There was lot of cleaning and I think the times will get better and better. It is good we will be the 11th car on the road tomorrow.
22. 05. 2026 18:42 CET 1 flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): It was super super slippy. There was a lot of loose gravel and I was sliding everywhere.
22. 05. 2026 18:38 CET 1 flash info (20 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Fredriksson Anders): It was good. I felt we had a good driver and in the third last corner I think the engine stalled a bit. It was not too bad. It was a short stage but a difficult one. I think we did quite well.
22. 05. 2026 18:36 CET 1 Weather in Karlstad is sunny, temperature is around 20°C.
22. 05. 2026 18:01 CET 1 retired (47 - Nordstrand Karl Peder / Rudi Sunniva): didn't start to rally
22. 05. 2026 15:07 CET QS flash info (28 - Matsushita Takumi / Kelander Pekka): I lost some confidence but it is ok. It is a bit like Finland and I'm looking forward to the race.
22. 05. 2026 15:05 CET QS flash info (27 - Nõgene Joosep Ralf / Lesk Aleks): The feeling was already very good in free practice. We took it easy now to manage the road position a bit.
22. 05. 2026 14:55 CET QS flash info (24 - Gustafsson Kalle / Hjerpe Jim): We had a pop off issue at the beginning then it started to go back to normal.
22. 05. 2026 14:54 CET QS flash info (23 - Vaher Jaspar / Jansen Rait): Let's see if it is enough. It was not so good a run from us. At least it was quite a good start.
22. 05. 2026 14:54 CET QS flash info (22 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): I tried to be a bit more smooth after free practice. After three months break it is difficult to be smooth. Not too bad. I'm happy.
22. 05. 2026 14:54 CET QS flash info (21 - Larsen Frank Tore / Lundgreen Lars-Håkon): That was out of the comfort zone just like the qualifying should be in Sweden. I'm quite happy.
22. 05. 2026 14:53 CET QS flash info (20 - Brynildsen Eyvind / Fredriksson Anders): I had a half spin and it was very messy. I'm sorry to everyone but twice we did a mistake. It will be a tough weekend now with such a bad qualifying. That should have been better.
22. 05. 2026 14:53 CET QS flash info (19 - Allen Philip / Drew Craig): I am battling a pop off valve issue.
22. 05. 2026 14:52 CET QS flash info (18 - Kolčák Róbert / Lapdavský Július): I like the learning. It is my first time on a big event on gravel and we used some IQ not to clean the road tomorrow.
22. 05. 2026 14:52 CET QS flash info (17 - Korhola Benjamin / Öhman Patric): The stages are quite fast. I don't know if there is something wrong but it feels like there is something wrong with the car, we didn't have some power. Luckily the time was not bad.
22. 05. 2026 14:52 CET QS flash info (16 - Német Gábor / Németh Gergely): It is a new experience and adventure for us. We will try to learn the conditions. It is not easy.
22. 05. 2026 14:25 CET QS flash info (1 - Suninen Teemu / Haapala Antti): It felt really okay bit not too bad. There was lot of loose gravel. I believe the guys will be fast. It would be ok to start 10th on the road tomorrow but we will see if it is enough or not and if the guys are tactically slowing down.
22. 05. 2026 14:09 CET QS Weather in Sweden is sunny, temperature around 24°C.
