10. 05. 2026 15:42 10. 05. 2026 16:42 CET	23	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a very special one, especially after what happened in Croatia and the struggles we had. Not just for Martijn and me, but also for the whole team. Always on a good rhythm, nothing was really perfect, but we just got through. I'm sure we're going to have a good night. Also I want to say happy Mothers day to all the mothers out there, but especially to my wife and my mother.
10. 05. 2026 15:42 10. 05. 2026 16:42 CET	23	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I think we all had our punctures, big ping pong results all weekend. Back on the podium with some good points, so relieved. Thanks to the team for believing in here and fixing the car. I was a bit careful in here just to bring it home.
10. 05. 2026 15:42 10. 05. 2026 16:42 CET	23	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Very difficult stage, it's so easy, if you don't get the right line you're just a passenger. A lot of guys of the team were very unlucky with the punctures today, so I feel for them. I'm not so satisfied with the driving over the weekend, there has been a lot of potential.
10. 05. 2026 15:41 10. 05. 2026 16:41 CET	23	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I have seen the rain on the start line, so I knew I need to take my chance and try to get some points. I gave it everything, made one mistake on the last section and lost some time. It's been a tough rally with the lead and losing it on Friday. It was a very exhausting rally.
10. 05. 2026 15:41 10. 05. 2026 16:41 CET	23	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Two tenths slower, holy. Of course it was very different weekend for us. It was very difficult and in this rally if you mess up it is difficult to catch up.
10. 05. 2026 15:41 10. 05. 2026 16:41 CET	23	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It should have been the win. There are things we can control and everything we could control we did pretty well. Hard luck today.
10. 05. 2026 15:40 10. 05. 2026 16:40 CET	23	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It was a good event. The performance was really superb from us and one of the best we have had. There is a lot of positives. It is a shame when the reward doesn't come our way. We need to take the positives and be stronger for the next rallies.
10. 05. 2026 15:40 10. 05. 2026 16:40 CET	23	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Some more rallies this year. It was not an easy rally for me this time. I was not on the pace and it was really slippery. I want to be like Ogier and Neuville and the others but I could't do it. I tried. Thanks to the team for the opportunity again it was a real pleasure. It was amazing to see so many spectators. See you soon.
10. 05. 2026 15:40 10. 05. 2026 16:40 CET	23	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It was quite tricky and every day changed a lot. For the experience it was quite the weekend of course.
10. 05. 2026 15:39 10. 05. 2026 16:39 CET	23	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It would have been nice to get a stage win but things changed as the road developed. It has been a tough weekend and we have shown some good pace. The tyre popped and I don't know what happened. I didn't want to do any more damage to the car so we stopped to change it. A big thanks to the whole team who were up at 3am to fix the car.
10. 05. 2026 15:39 10. 05. 2026 16:39 CET	23	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): puncture
10. 05. 2026 15:39 10. 05. 2026 16:39 CET	23	(27 - Suninen Teemu / Hussi Janni): It feels really great. We haven't been on gravel for two years in this car so it is a great return. It is great for my career to show we still have good pace. Hopefully it will bring us something good.
10. 05. 2026 15:39 10. 05. 2026 16:39 CET	23	(25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It was not an easy rally. I have to say thanks to the team for helping today. I was not sure I was able to drive as I was not feeling well.
10. 05. 2026 15:38 10. 05. 2026 16:38 CET	23	(20 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): I have to say this is one of the most difficult rallies that I have ever done. There are some good things and not so good as our pace yesterday in the wet was quite horrible. It was really good points for the championhip.
10. 05. 2026 15:37 10. 05. 2026 16:37 CET	23	(36 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): I think we can be very happy about the weekend. The car has been working fantastic. Today hasn't been our day, we went off the road and now a puncture in here. But we can be proud of our job.
10. 05. 2026 15:37 10. 05. 2026 16:37 CET	23	(36 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): puncture

10. 05. 2026 15:33 10. 05. 2026 16:33 CET	22	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Nothing is done yet. So far we have done the job, now we must finish. We know how not to do it, now we should do it. It was raining for me and there was very low grip. I must be pleased with it.
10. 05. 2026 15:33 10. 05. 2026 16:33 CET	22	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): For me as long as I can see there was a loose stone in the line and we got a puncture. There was nothing I can do.
10. 05. 2026 15:32 10. 05. 2026 16:32 CET	22	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It started raining like mad so I had to have the vent open.
10. 05. 2026 15:32 10. 05. 2026 16:32 CET	22	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): puncture
10. 05. 2026 15:32 10. 05. 2026 16:32 CET	22	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I started well but I had so many moments with the rear. I had to bring it back a bit and we had heavy rain in the middle of the stage. Very tough.
10. 05. 2026 15:32 10. 05. 2026 16:32 CET	22	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I did try to change my driving style in thsi stage and force it a bit more. There was ruts to help rotate the car. It was quite risky. The beginning was quite dry but the middle was wet and then we had rain. There was a lot of things going on.
10. 05. 2026 15:31 10. 05. 2026 16:31 CET	22	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): puncture
10. 05. 2026 15:30 10. 05. 2026 16:30 CET	22	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I don't klnow where I got the little damage on the tyre. There are very mixed conditions in there.
10. 05. 2026 15:30 10. 05. 2026 16:30 CET	22	rain started
10. 05. 2026 15:30 10. 05. 2026 16:30 CET	22	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I think it was getting drier in some places. There was some places with constant grip.
10. 05. 2026 15:30 10. 05. 2026 16:30 CET	22	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): There was a lot of mud and sand over the windscreen.
10. 05. 2026 15:29 10. 05. 2026 16:29 CET	22	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): There is a lot of mud in places. It is just sweeping. It is one of those days when where you are running matters. It is a shame to lose the stage win on previous stage but we are the quickest Rally1 through in the last stage.
10. 05. 2026 15:28 10. 05. 2026 16:28 CET	21	(62 - Soylu Uğur / Ertuğrul Kutay): accident in SS 21
10. 05. 2026 15:28 10. 05. 2026 16:28 CET	21	(29 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Listerud Jørn): You can always do more but the risk is so high. In these conditions anything can happen.
10. 05. 2026 15:28 10. 05. 2026 16:28 CET	21	(20 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): It was a really tricky stage and all weekend we struggled a lot with muddy conditions like this. It was not the best run but quite good.
10. 05. 2026 15:28 10. 05. 2026 16:28 CET	21	(25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Good. I'm just going through.
10. 05. 2026 15:27 10. 05. 2026 16:27 CET	21	(27 - Suninen Teemu / Hussi Janni): It was tricky. There was lot of downhill muddy brakings. It was difficult to know where to brake and approach the corners. The time is good.
10. 05. 2026 15:27 10. 05. 2026 16:27 CET	21	(36 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): I tried to be clean and not make any mistakes and that is the best way I have now.
10. 05. 2026 15:27 10. 05. 2026 16:27 CET	21	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was not really enjoyable to drive that one so I'm happy to get through. Hopefully we can finish with a bit better weather.
10. 05. 2026 15:26 10. 05. 2026 16:26 CET	21	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is turning into mud even more and it is getting really slippery. It is like clay everywhere. I was struggling to keep it on the road I was a bit more safe than the previous one.
10. 05. 2026 15:25 10. 05. 2026 16:25 CET	21	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It felt horrible again. I'm sorry I don't want to complain but I still have an issue in the background that is affecting me mentally.
10. 05. 2026 15:24 10. 05. 2026 16:24 CET	21	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It is tricky weekend so far I have to say. It was very slippery in there and easy to make a mistake. I didn't want to push too hard.
10. 05. 2026 15:24 10. 05. 2026 16:24 CET	21	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not so much rain but the road is saturated and the mud is quite thick. We had a scare on the second corner. We went up onto the bank.
10. 05. 2026 15:24 10. 05. 2026 16:24 CET	21	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I did some changes on the set up before this stage and it is still not as I would like. I tried to survive and enjoy it. I just struggle with the pace. I just tried to get a bit more front on the car.
10. 05. 2026 15:24 10. 05. 2026 16:24 CET	21	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is crazy slippy. I have no confidennce and there are many surprises. It is hard to judge the grip.
10. 05. 2026 15:23 10. 05. 2026 16:23 CET	21	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It is very slippery. Honestly it is the first time it has been that slippery. I think the tyres didn't help a lot. It was quite tricky in some places.
10. 05. 2026 15:23 10. 05. 2026 16:23 CET	21	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): This was not enjoyable. At the first corner I was a bit too optimistic then I took it quite steady. I could have done better.
10. 05. 2026 15:23 10. 05. 2026 16:23 CET	21	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is quite exciting at the best of times but over the mountain when you are spinning wheels in fifth gear, it is spicy.
10. 05. 2026 15:20 10. 05. 2026 16:20 CET	21	heavy rain, lot of standing water
10. 05. 2026 15:20 10. 05. 2026 16:20 CET	20	(78 - Lapouille Hugues / Devienne Philippe): retired after SS 20
10. 05. 2026 15:19 10. 05. 2026 16:19 CET	20	(57 - Filipe Ricardo / Carvalho Filipe): retired after SS 20

10. 05. 2026 15:18 10. 05. 2026 16:18 CET	20	(20 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): It was quite muddy and there was also fog during the stage so it was not easy. I tried my best.
10. 05. 2026 15:18 10. 05. 2026 16:18 CET	20	(25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): driver is ill
10. 05. 2026 15:18 10. 05. 2026 16:18 CET	20	(27 - Suninen Teemu / Hussi Janni): Quite tricky. Guys behind me could be catching if they are pushing. Some sections in the beginning were not good.
10. 05. 2026 15:17 10. 05. 2026 16:17 CET	20	(36 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): It is very difficult in this situation. Of course you can gain some time but you can go off the road. There is a long way to go.
10. 05. 2026 15:17 10. 05. 2026 16:17 CET	20	(36 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): puncture
10. 05. 2026 15:17 10. 05. 2026 16:17 CET	20	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): We had a lot of rain and I couldn't do much. We will try to win the rally, that is the strategy.
10. 05. 2026 15:17 10. 05. 2026 16:17 CET	20	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know if it is the rain or the conditions. We were fighting through the stage honestly. We stalled the engine four or five times under braking. I lost the trust and I couldn't brake late any more. We need to bring it home that is the target.
10. 05. 2026 15:16 10. 05. 2026 16:16 CET	20	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): We need to check I think I have an issue. It is not good.
10. 05. 2026 15:16 10. 05. 2026 16:16 CET	20	heavy rain started
10. 05. 2026 15:16 10. 05. 2026 16:16 CET	20	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Maybe Sami has a puncture. It is typical of my luck here. I tried my best I was really focussed and motivated. At a fast left into a fast right I didn't see anything but I felt something. We will keep going.
10. 05. 2026 15:15 10. 05. 2026 16:15 CET	20	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It wasn't amazing. It was very inconsistent with the grip. We had a go here.
10. 05. 2026 15:15 10. 05. 2026 16:15 CET	20	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): puncture
10. 05. 2026 15:15 10. 05. 2026 16:15 CET	20	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Quite happy with my stage. Slippery in places. I felt I had a good stage but it is like that.
10. 05. 2026 15:15 10. 05. 2026 16:15 CET	20	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The conditions are very mixed. We got some rain and then towards the end nothing. In the beginning it's getting worse and halfway through getting better.
10. 05. 2026 15:14 10. 05. 2026 16:14 CET	20	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): The stage was good. There is grip but some of the corner are really slippery. In general it was nice. I was suprised by the grip. You have grip but then at one corner there is nothing.
10. 05. 2026 15:14 10. 05. 2026 16:14 CET	20	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): At first the lines looked like Josh hit a few banks. It was tricky to navigate but if it stops raining the road will get faster and faster. There is slimey bits in many places.
10. 05. 2026 15:13 10. 05. 2026 16:13 CET	20	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is changing a lot in there and more than I expected. It is wet in some places and grip in other places. I want to say a big thanks to the team as they were up untill 3am getting everything sorted.
10. 05. 2026 15:13 10. 05. 2026 16:13 CET	20	No rain, but stage is very slippery and muddy.
09. 05. 2026 22:07 09. 05. 2026 23:07 CET	19	(52 - Marújo Diogo / Carvalho Jorge): accident in SS 19
09. 05. 2026 22:07 09. 05. 2026 23:07 CET	19	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Incedible afternoon with these conditions. They are real fans out here but we couldn't give them the best show. But its a good day for us.
09. 05. 2026 22:06 09. 05. 2026 23:06 CET	19	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I've not experienced this before and I don't really want to again in this rain. It was not a great afternoon. I'm really not happy with what I did in the Amarante stage.
09. 05. 2026 22:06 09. 05. 2026 23:06 CET	19	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It is amazing to come to Lousada with the crowd. Thanks to all the fans in the full rain.
09. 05. 2026 22:06 09. 05. 2026 23:06 CET	19	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is crazy. It is crazy weather. I'm very sorry for Josh. There is nothing he can do. This corner is full of mud. He cannot do anything. I'm very sorry for him.
09. 05. 2026 22:05 09. 05. 2026 23:05 CET	19	Stage continues.
09. 05. 2026 22:05 09. 05. 2026 23:05 CET	19	Stage is stopped because of accident of car no. 55.
09. 05. 2026 22:04 09. 05. 2026 23:04 CET	19	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I don't know what kind of show this is. I am very sad to see Josh there. We all fought so hard to day. The afternoon loop was crazy. For us it is good for us to be here.
09. 05. 2026 22:04 09. 05. 2026 23:04 CET	19	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): accident in SS 19
09. 05. 2026 21:59 09. 05. 2026 22:59 CET	19	heavy rain, lot of mud
09. 05. 2026 22:03 09. 05. 2026 23:03 CET	18	(24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): accident in SS 18
09. 05. 2026 21:58 09. 05. 2026 22:58 CET	18	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I needed to respond to Oliver. It was a disaster stage this one in the morning. I had no idea how I lost so much time. This time the conditions helped. We went to a rain set up this afternoon and it was more enjoyable. It was tricky with a lot of grip changes.
09. 05. 2026 21:58 09. 05. 2026 22:58 CET	18	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was good. I was on it. I honestly cannot do more. I made a small mistake with the set up but we had to try. We did something on the front and it didn't work.
09. 05. 2026 21:58 09. 05. 2026 22:58 CET	18	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): For me, it didn't feel great aat all. It was more about surviving. It has been quite tricky.
09. 05. 2026 21:57 09. 05. 2026 22:57 CET	18	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I spun.
09. 05. 2026 21:57 09. 05. 2026 22:57 CET	18	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I wouldn't be putting a lot of money on it that this was better than the last one.
09. 05. 2026 21:57 09. 05. 2026 22:57 CET	18	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was a very demanding stage. It was very tricky conditions and I didn't have the feeling. I tried to just go through and not lose too much.
09. 05. 2026 21:56 09. 05. 2026 22:56 CET	18	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was getting better and better towards the end. In one place it was quite funny and It was like Kenya spec with the water and we should have had a snorkel.
09. 05. 2026 21:56 09. 05. 2026 22:56 CET	18	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): spun
09. 05. 2026 21:56 09. 05. 2026 22:56 CET	18	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Honestly I don't remember the last time I had a bad day like today driving. It was really bad. I had no feeling and zero grip. It was a tough day.
09. 05. 2026 21:55 09. 05. 2026 22:55 CET	18	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It wasn't great. At the first corner we spun. It was a disaster. It has been tough but we should be a bit better than this. It is hard to trust the changing grip.
09. 05. 2026 21:55 09. 05. 2026 22:55 CET	18	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It is hard to guess and once you get more information it will be much easier to drive. I think it is drying out a lot.

09. 05. 2026 22:02 09. 05. 2026 23:02 CET	17	(64 - Martínez Jorge / Brizio Marcelo): retired after SS 17
09. 05. 2026 22:01 09. 05. 2026 23:01 CET	17	(39 - Sarrazin Pablo / Roche Yannick): accident in SS 17
09. 05. 2026 17:55 09. 05. 2026 18:55 CET	17	(32 - Trentin Giovanni / Ometto Pietro Elia): accident in SS 17
09. 05. 2026 17:49 09. 05. 2026 18:49 CET	17	(21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): accident in SS 17
09. 05. 2026 17:48 09. 05. 2026 18:48 CET	17	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Not the most enjoyable stage but we made it. The driving was not so awesome it was about surviving in there. I will take that.
09. 05. 2026 17:47 09. 05. 2026 18:47 CET	17	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): That is a lot (Ogier being 10 sec faster). I knew he was pushing in there as it is probably the deciding stage of the day. It is not too bad. I think we have done a good stage.
09. 05. 2026 17:46 09. 05. 2026 18:46 CET	17	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is so slippy you feel like you almost stop all the time. I was so sideways and on the limit all the time. It is really tricky to judge. You feel you could lose a minute in there.
09. 05. 2026 17:46 09. 05. 2026 18:46 CET	17	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Little bit frustrated, don't have a spare tyre and I don't know if I had a puncture in there. (Ogier is faster on the splits) That's not good.
09. 05. 2026 17:46 09. 05. 2026 18:46 CET	17	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): At a long corner that tightened I lost the front and washed out under braking. It was a really terrible run for us.
09. 05. 2026 17:45 09. 05. 2026 18:45 CET	17	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): This sport can be very hard. The stage is very hard to drive and I had no feeling with the car. Even by driving slow I had some moments and then you lose the confidence.
09. 05. 2026 17:45 09. 05. 2026 18:45 CET	17	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was challenging but not as bad as expected. I think it is getting better and better.
09. 05. 2026 17:44 09. 05. 2026 18:44 CET	17	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It's amazing, you don't know where is the grip, in some corners there is some, in others nothing. In some places it's not dry, but there is not so much mud on the top, so it could get faster for some cars.
09. 05. 2026 17:44 09. 05. 2026 18:44 CET	17	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is carzy. We knew when the rain came it would be crazy. That was mad. First in a hairpin we just took off. This last one we were going uphill but we were a passenger. Thanks to the spectatros they were a big help. Glad to be here.
09. 05. 2026 17:44 09. 05. 2026 18:44 CET	17	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): That was something unbelievable in places. We were very cautious but we almost got caught in many braking points and bits.
09. 05. 2026 17:43 09. 05. 2026 18:43 CET	17	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): was out of road

09. 05. 2026 17:41 09. 05. 2026 18:41 CET	16	(21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I tried to do my best to be honest. I don't like this stage and my car also. I had rain 500 metres before the finish.
09. 05. 2026 17:40 09. 05. 2026 18:40 CET	16	(20 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): We lost a lot of time before the service due to rain anf now the opposite is happening. It was really rough in some places.
09. 05. 2026 17:40 09. 05. 2026 18:40 CET	16	(36 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): This stage was super super rough but the car was working really nice. We tried to stay on the line because it was super rough.
09. 05. 2026 17:40 09. 05. 2026 18:40 CET	16	(25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Not easy. There was a lot of bottoming out.
09. 05. 2026 17:39 09. 05. 2026 18:39 CET	16	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I was not really pushing as it was so rutted. I don't know if I lost a bit of time. It was all about risk management in there.
09. 05. 2026 17:39 09. 05. 2026 18:39 CET	16	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is super rough in there. A couple of times I had the feeling we could have had a puncture. Just one rut near the finish put me into half a spin so I lost 1.5sec there.
09. 05. 2026 17:38 09. 05. 2026 18:38 CET	16	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I had a good stage once again. I think it is quite on the limit if you want to go any faster. The risk you have to take is massive. It was a really clean stage. Flat out is the approach for the rest.
09. 05. 2026 17:38 09. 05. 2026 18:38 CET	16	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I don't know. I just drove in the lines, what can you do?
09. 05. 2026 17:38 09. 05. 2026 18:38 CET	16	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): puncture
09. 05. 2026 17:37 09. 05. 2026 18:37 CET	16	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I just got caught up in the rut. Car wasn't super easy to drive. Very rough towards the end, very hard to not damage something in here.
09. 05. 2026 17:37 09. 05. 2026 18:37 CET	16	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The approach was to give everything to get some time back as we are not so far from the lead. I was expecting the rain coming for the others. The weather is really playing with us today. I tried.
09. 05. 2026 17:37 09. 05. 2026 18:37 CET	16	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was very rough. I was careful with the tyres as there was a lot of bedrocks in the ruts. It is easy to get a puncture.
09. 05. 2026 17:36 09. 05. 2026 18:36 CET	16	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was really bad at the end with a lot of ruts. The car started to hit the stones and I think the car was a bit too low for this stage. I tried to push and enjoy. It will be difficult for the poeple at the back.
09. 05. 2026 17:36 09. 05. 2026 18:36 CET	16	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is a comprmise on the set up at the moment. Martins is super quick in here. There are a lot of impacts through the arms and there are sharp rocks in the road.
09. 05. 2026 17:36 09. 05. 2026 18:36 CET	16	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It wasn't that bad with the rain actually. It was quite tricky being first as there are many different lines.
09. 05. 2026 17:35 09. 05. 2026 18:35 CET	16	Stage is dry.
09. 05. 2026 17:53 09. 05. 2026 18:53 CET	15	(43 - Bates Harry / Williams Keaton): retired in SS 15
09. 05. 2026 17:52 09. 05. 2026 18:52 CET	15	(40 - Delecour Eliott / Roche Romain): accident in SS 15
09. 05. 2026 17:34 09. 05. 2026 18:34 CET	15	(20 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): It was nothing special. There was some rough places but not bad at all.
09. 05. 2026 17:34 09. 05. 2026 18:34 CET	15	(36 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): We will see. We did some set up changes to get a bit more traction in the muddy places. But as you can see the weather is changing a lot.
09. 05. 2026 17:34 09. 05. 2026 18:34 CET	15	(25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I am using the spare helmet intercom working now after issue in the morning. Not an easy stage. There were too many mistakes from my side. We had a lot moments where there shouldn't be.
09. 05. 2026 17:33 09. 05. 2026 18:33 CET	15	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was quite a bit of a push as we needed to respond. It is going to be interesting this afternoon.
09. 05. 2026 17:33 09. 05. 2026 18:33 CET	15	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): For me, it was a very good stage. It felt like a very good stage. I don't know where to go inside that time.
09. 05. 2026 17:32 09. 05. 2026 18:32 CET	15	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is good. I had a nice stage. I like the profile of this stage and I tried to have a good flow in here.
09. 05. 2026 17:32 09. 05. 2026 18:32 CET	15	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Scooping a lot of dirt. It was not a good feeling. There was a few bad rocks and I was trying to take care of the tyres a bit.
09. 05. 2026 17:32 09. 05. 2026 18:32 CET	15	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not great.
09. 05. 2026 17:32 09. 05. 2026 18:32 CET	15	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It is very rutted compared to this morning. It is quite enjoyable. We are optimising the rain. Let's see if the rain comes.
09. 05. 2026 17:31 09. 05. 2026 18:31 CET	15	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): The feeling is ok. The car is super soft now so it was not very comfortable as it was not so muddy. It was still tricky in places with rocks and bedrock sticking out.
09. 05. 2026 17:31 09. 05. 2026 18:31 CET	15	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): We will keep trying. It is not easy. It was slippery and it is not really a stage I like. I''m not fast but I enjoyed it.
09. 05. 2026 17:30 09. 05. 2026 18:30 CET	15	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Honestly we didnt get the information about Jon Armstrong rolling. We must have been in stage mode so we didn't hear the radio. It was a bit of a suprsise to see them. It is good to see they are ok. It is a shame as the pace they were showing was quite good. Three corners ago we just clipped a bank. It was quite sketchy towards the end with the rain.
09. 05. 2026 17:30 09. 05. 2026 18:30 CET	15	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It was ok. I think the stage is quite similar as the morning. A few places maybe a bit wetter. It is not easy.
09. 05. 2026 17:30 09. 05. 2026 18:30 CET	15	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): accident in SS 15
09. 05. 2026 17:29 09. 05. 2026 18:29 CET	15	no rain
09. 05. 2026 17:51 09. 05. 2026 18:51 CET	14	(56 - Salvi Diogo / Cunha Gonçalo): accident in SS 14
09. 05. 2026 17:29 09. 05. 2026 18:29 CET	14	(36 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): If I'm 10 seconds slower, it's not so good, of course, so I don't know. I tried my best, but it's very difficult to find the traction and I don't know, I tried to do it good, but it looks like not.
09. 05. 2026 17:28 09. 05. 2026 18:28 CET	14	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Unbelievable. I had the feeling, I tried my best. Unbelievable. It is impressive. I have no idea how it is possible to be honest.
09. 05. 2026 17:26 09. 05. 2026 18:26 CET	14	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a good stage. The stage is also getting polished as well. I was not afraid about the rain but I am on the maximum of the grip levels.
09. 05. 2026 17:26 09. 05. 2026 18:26 CET	14	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): That is a lot. It didn't feel like I was cautious. That is way too much to lose. We will find out what the weather is like this afternoon and we need to keep pushing.
09. 05. 2026 17:26 09. 05. 2026 18:26 CET	14	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It is ok. It was a horrible stage. The flow was ok and I managed to read the grip. I need more traction and grip. I love the rain so why not let's try.
09. 05. 2026 17:25 09. 05. 2026 18:25 CET	14	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was better than expected in some places. There was the odd corner that could catch you out. It was not easy. I wasn't super impressed with my run.
09. 05. 2026 17:25 09. 05. 2026 18:25 CET	14	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I'm very pleased with my driving in the stage in the conditions. It is becoming very slippery. It was a mix of dry, wet and dry. The afternoon will be more clear.
09. 05. 2026 17:25 09. 05. 2026 18:25 CET	14	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): A few places I'm not sure how much grip you have. I was very careful.
09. 05. 2026 17:24 09. 05. 2026 18:24 CET	14	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I think I have a problem with the transmission. The stage was difficult to get the grip but it was not soo so bad. Some corners are really slippery but we did have some grip.
09. 05. 2026 17:24 09. 05. 2026 18:24 CET	14	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Jon did a very good job. It is slippy and it is always changing. It is nice to get through cleanly.
09. 05. 2026 17:23 09. 05. 2026 18:23 CET	14	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It the time is suprising. We tried to soften off the damper and put some of our new tyres on. The grip was quite good. It wasn't as bad as what I was expecting. It didn't feel like we did anything great, but let's see.
09. 05. 2026 17:23 09. 05. 2026 18:23 CET	14	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It wasn't good but it wasn't that bad. Now with the rain you see the shiny stuff and it is like ice. I got caught out there.
09. 05. 2026 17:22 09. 05. 2026 18:22 CET	14	It is raining.
09. 10. 2026 17:22 09. 10. 2026 18:22 CET	13	(36 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): For me it was not the best stage and I was a bit too careful when it started to rain a bit.
09. 05. 2026 17:22 09. 05. 2026 18:22 CET	13	(25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It was difficult as there was no grip and I had no rhythm at all. Inconsistent. Sometimes there is grip, sometimes zero. Not easy.
09. 05. 2026 17:21 09. 05. 2026 18:21 CET	13	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It has been a good stage fore me,. I lost a bit towards the end with this rain but it could be worse and you could lose 20 or 30 seconds easily.
09. 05. 2026 17:21 09. 05. 2026 18:21 CET	13	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I was sliding a lot. I couldn't keep the rear in the line. I made a small mistake and lost a bit of time. I was pushing quite hard. We got the rain 6km from the end but it was not much.
09. 05. 2026 17:21 09. 05. 2026 18:21 CET	13	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Well I don't know. It was quite ok but not perfect. On the tarmac section I felt massive understeer so it was not easy to find the best way to go.
09. 05. 2026 17:20 09. 05. 2026 18:20 CET	13	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was a tricky stage. I tried to be careful with the tyres. There was no special push. I'm missing a lot of grip.
09. 05. 2026 17:20 09. 05. 2026 18:20 CET	13	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was an ok run. It was not super special but it is all working fine. No rain yet but it is sure to happen at some point.
09. 05. 2026 17:20 09. 05. 2026 18:20 CET	13	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Actually we tried to save some tyres for later with the rain. I'm happy with my driving but I will see about my time. It is very nice to drive. Throttle problem? I don't know what's happening. We carry on.
09. 05. 2026 17:19 09. 05. 2026 18:19 CET	13	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is super slippy. It was horrible. It was so bad. It was very very slippy.
09. 05. 2026 17:19 09. 05. 2026 18:19 CET	13	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I don't have the feeling with the tyre and the car is sliding. It is difficult with the braking. I'm struggling a little bit.
09. 05. 2026 17:19 09. 05. 2026 18:19 CET	13	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): There was lot of interesting lines and that was probably Martins using every bit of the road. Sometimes you have to forget about it and drive your own lines. It was a big stage and we had to manage the tyres on the tarmac.
09. 05. 2026 17:18 09. 05. 2026 18:18 CET	13	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): A bit of duct tape to patch up my blistered hand again. It was bit of a tricky stage and little bit damp in places. After the first tarmac bit the tyres were quite hot so it was difficult to keep a smooth line with the blocks moving around a lot. We tried out best.
09. 05. 2026 17:18 09. 05. 2026 18:18 CET	13	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It was ok. It felt good at some points but I got bit diustracted by the surface changes, so it was not easy.
09. 05. 2026 17:17 09. 05. 2026 18:17 CET	13	Stage is dry.
09. 05. 2026 17:51 09. 05. 2026 18:51 CET	12	(81 - Bancher Pierleonardo / Marcon Andrea): retired after SS 12
09. 05. 2026 17:51 09. 05. 2026 18:51 CET	12	(78 - Lapouille Hugues / Devienne Philippe): retired in SS 12
09. 05. 2026 17:09 09. 05. 2026 18:09 CET	12	(21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): Nothing special to be honest. Nothing is working and when we always have the same problem which is lack of grip.
09. 05. 2026 17:09 09. 05. 2026 18:09 CET	12	(20 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): The ground was really soft and thre was some loose rocks on the road.
09. 05. 2026 17:08 09. 05. 2026 18:08 CET	12	(36 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): I guess it is good to keep Korhonen and Yohan behind so we will try to keep doing this.
09. 05. 2026 17:08 09. 05. 2026 18:08 CET	12	(25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The road is quite rutted so it is not easy. It is not easy with our issue in the helmet intercom.
09. 05. 2026 17:07 09. 05. 2026 18:07 CET	12	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): This twisty section at the end is always difficult but where you can make differences. It has got rutted quickly and it will be really rough for the second pass, especially if the rain is there.
09. 05. 2026 17:07 09. 05. 2026 18:07 CET	12	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage honestly. At the end there are a lot of stones and maybe I wasn't cutting enough. The feeling was not too bad and maybe a bit soft. The rally will not be decided in the first four stages this morning.
09. 05. 2026 17:07 09. 05. 2026 18:07 CET	12	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It was quite tricky and very different to the first stage. We should be quicker but it wasn't too bad. The fight is really tight so you should be on it all the time.
09. 05. 2026 17:06 09. 05. 2026 18:06 CET	12	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I donlt know. It is the first time doing this stage in this car and it is very different from the Rally2 car. I drive as fast I can with the grip I have. I'm struggling with traction.
09. 05. 2026 17:06 09. 05. 2026 18:06 CET	12	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was quite messy and I found it quite difficult to be clean and efficient. It wasn't the best stage for me. I'm sure the rain is coming at somepoint.
09. 05. 2026 17:06 09. 05. 2026 18:06 CET	12	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It will get quicker and quicker. I don't recognise the car from yesterday so that is quite a shame. We can find something.
09. 05. 2026 17:06 09. 05. 2026 18:06 CET	12	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Things were quite ok. I still think we cna make it better. I now get a bit of a feeling from the car so I can drive like normal. A lot has changed. Mentally I have spoke with Ott and he said to push like hell. It is much easier to drive the car.
09. 05. 2026 17:05 09. 05. 2026 18:05 CET	12	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was a little bit better and I could push a bit more. It was better than the first stage. It is very slippery and difficult to get grip on the soft tyres.
09. 05. 2026 17:05 09. 05. 2026 18:05 CET	12	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It was ok. We are still losing some traction from the rear. It is a big stage with a lot rhythm changes. There are still some improvements to make from me and the car. I expected the rain now, so that is the situation.
09. 05. 2026 17:05 09. 05. 2026 18:05 CET	12	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): Not too sure. The first stage was quite good for us. This one was a lot more difficult to get into a rhythm. It was bumpy and sandy. We need to look at the splits to see where we are losing time.
09. 05. 2026 17:04 09. 05. 2026 18:04 CET	12	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): There was a lot of cleaning and in one place I thought we broke something as I hit the rear left in a narrow place. I think because it was slow we didn't damage anything.
09. 05. 2026 17:03 09. 05. 2026 18:03 CET	12	Stage is mostly dry with some damp and muddy parts.
09. 05. 2026 17:03 09. 05. 2026 18:03 CET	11	(20 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): It was really slippery and I lost the rear in many places and we lost time. Otherwise it was ok.
09. 05. 2026 17:00 09. 05. 2026 18:00 CET	11	(36 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): It was ok. I tried to make a clean run. In a stage like this it is easy to make mistakes. You never know if you are pushing enough. We are trying to do our best.
09. 05. 2026 17:00 09. 05. 2026 18:00 CET	11	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I was sliding too much. It is always very narrow in there and you need to be committed and it wasn't really the case for me.
09. 05. 2026 16:59 09. 05. 2026 17:59 CET	11	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is ok. We had a good stage but we had a stall. Under braking the engine completely died and the car wouldn't restart so I lost some time.
09. 05. 2026 16:59 09. 05. 2026 17:59 CET	11	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): I had a big push, that is pretty much it.
09. 05. 2026 16:58 09. 05. 2026 17:58 CET	11	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It is quite dry. It is going to be a long loop for the tyres. I hope the rain is coming.
09. 05. 2026 16:58 09. 05. 2026 17:58 CET	11	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was ok. On the whole good but in a few places I didn't carry the speed I wanted, but all ok.
09. 05. 2026 16:58 09. 05. 2026 17:58 CET	11	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I had a good stage. It was very nice. The stage is getting faster and I tried.
09. 05. 2026 16:58 09. 05. 2026 17:58 CET	11	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is ok. There was very low grip and it was a very tricky stage. It was not very enjoyable.
09. 05. 2026 16:57 09. 05. 2026 17:57 CET	11	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was very slippery. Honestly I couldn't drive the car. It was really slippery.
09. 05. 2026 16:57 09. 05. 2026 17:57 CET	11	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is much the same. Obviously there is a lot of camber in there. There is a lot of sliding but it is ok. We went more towards a wet set up.
09. 05. 2026 16:57 09. 05. 2026 17:57 CET	11	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): Not too bad. Obviously yesterday was quite tough and this morning I don't feel too bad. I'm just trying to do our best. In a couple of places I was braking too late and in one place we touched a bank.
09. 05. 2026 16:56 09. 05. 2026 17:56 CET	11	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Actually it was quite good. I think the expection of it being damp, it was far from that. It was quite ok conditions. Driving first, you have a lot of loose gravel so you have to be precise to keep the momentum.
09. 05. 2026 16:56 09. 05. 2026 17:56 CET	11	Stage is dry.
08. 05. 2026 22:57 08. 05. 2026 23:57 CET	10	(48 - Meireles Pedro / Castro Mário): retired after SS 10
08. 05. 2026 22:57 08. 05. 2026 23:57 CET	10	(53 - Lopes Hugo / Oliveira Magda): retired after SS 10

08. 05. 2026 22:55 08. 05. 2026 23:55 CET	10	(45 - Fontes José Pedro / Ponte Ines): retired after SS 10
08. 05. 2026 22:54 08. 05. 2026 23:54 CET	10	(63 - Cărăgui Eugen / Fus Robert): health issues after SS 11
08. 05. 2026 22:52 08. 05. 2026 23:52 CET	10	(26 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): retired after SS 10
08. 05. 2026 22:52 08. 05. 2026 23:52 CET	10	(21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It was very diffiuclt to drive but it was clean run to be honest. I don't know the time but we did a good job. We have been fighting the traction every single day. It is not a car I like, but we need to adapt the driving myabe to find a solution to have more traction.
08. 05. 2026 22:52 08. 05. 2026 23:52 CET	10	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I don't know what I have done to this stage. I have done nothing. We changed the tyre in the same place as last year.
08. 05. 2026 22:51 08. 05. 2026 23:51 CET	10	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): As soon as we saw Martins pull over we knew the puncture risk is high and the the situation isn't great. It was like a rodeo in there.
08. 05. 2026 22:51 08. 05. 2026 23:51 CET	10	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was tough. Honestly we are not in the rhythm, we lost a lot of time. This stage I was driving really bad. It is what it is. I can't do much more. Let's see for the tomorrow.
08. 05. 2026 22:49 08. 05. 2026 23:49 CET	10	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): double puncture
08. 05. 2026 22:49 08. 05. 2026 23:49 CET	10	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): problems with powersteering
08. 05. 2026 22:48 08. 05. 2026 23:48 CET	10	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is the last stage of the day and Ogier finished the day in the lead. I was trying but it is not easy in there. I got kicked out of the line at the beginning. I tried to slow it down to be more efficient. At least the performance is there. I think we did ok.
08. 05. 2026 22:48 08. 05. 2026 23:48 CET	10	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): We didn't have the best stage at the beginning and we collected a lot of dust. I'm happy to finish the day. Tomorrow is the start of a new rally. I think we can be happy with what we have done this afternoon as the morning was tricky.
08. 05. 2026 22:48 08. 05. 2026 23:48 CET	10	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We really tried but we had no tyre left and it was really hard to drive. It is a shame what happened in SS 8. The rally is still very long and we will keep focussed.
08. 05. 2026 22:47 08. 05. 2026 23:47 CET	10	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It has been a tricky day and we have not had a good feeling in the car. We tried to improve and doing a silly mistake in SS 8 doesn't help. Maybe I am a bit too hard on myslef sometimes.
08. 05. 2026 22:47 08. 05. 2026 23:47 CET	10	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It was quite ok. It was quite different conditions from the first pass, but it is ok. We got a braken windscreen so there is always something happening. It has been a really ok day. Unfortunately we did lose a few seconds but that is rallying. Two more days to go and we are in the fight.
08. 05. 2026 22:47 08. 05. 2026 23:47 CET	10	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure it was better than the morning. It was not like I expected. I was really struggling. For sure we know how to improve for tomorrow. The conditions will be tricky tomorrow but I'm hoping for it.
08. 05. 2026 22:44 08. 05. 2026 23:44 CET	10	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It is like a beach inside the ruts. It is going to be bad for the cleaning. It has been ok nothing really special. It has been a clean drive.
08. 05. 2026 22:44 08. 05. 2026 23:44 CET	9	(20 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): It was a clean run. There was some wuite big rocks on the road and we tried to avoid them.
08. 05. 2026 22:44 08. 05. 2026 23:44 CET	9	(24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): We are struggling a bit with our speed and our pace in the rally. We will try to do something different and I hope it will work. We will try to do our best.
08. 05. 2026 22:43 08. 05. 2026 23:43 CET	9	(21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It is a clean loop for the moment. I pushed the maximum but we are fighting for traction. We need to work on that.
08. 05. 2026 22:43 08. 05. 2026 23:43 CET	9	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It was pretty demanding. It is good to get back out. We are just trying to get through and a manage the tyres for tomorrow.
08. 05. 2026 22:43 08. 05. 2026 23:43 CET	9	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I don't know something came back. I told you I will be fine. I think it is starting to come back together. It is never too late. We did a good job in the remote service and we found a new approach.
08. 05. 2026 22:43 08. 05. 2026 23:43 CET	9	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): The feeling is good but the times are not. It looks like it will be tricky tomorrow.
08. 05. 2026 22:42 08. 05. 2026 23:42 CET	9	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): I'm just getting through. We had a lot of vibration coming through the steering wheel. It was quite a short stage which was nice. Shane is doing a good job.
08. 05. 2026 22:42 08. 05. 2026 23:42 CET	9	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We are recycling a lot of tyres at the moment.
08. 05. 2026 22:42 08. 05. 2026 23:42 CET	9	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): problems with powersteering
08. 05. 2026 22:41 08. 05. 2026 23:41 CET	9	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): So far it is going better now. It will be another rally starting tomorrow probably with the rain coming.
08. 05. 2026 22:41 08. 05. 2026 23:41 CET	9	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I lost the brakes so I couldnt not slow down and we went wide in the last stage and had the double puncture. We checked eveything with the car and we carry on. It is part of the rally.
08. 05. 2026 22:41 08. 05. 2026 23:41 CET	9	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I just tried to take care of the tyres. I was very lucky. Now we have to reset and go again and take care of the tyres. It is annoying about the time loss.
08. 05. 2026 22:41 08. 05. 2026 23:41 CET	9	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): There was some super slippy entry to a corner and I thought I would nail it and it would go straight like in the movies, but we lost a couple of seconds. I tried to recover.
08. 05. 2026 22:40 08. 05. 2026 23:40 CET	9	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was bit better than the morning but we are still missing the grip and we know why. We will just try to manage the next one.
08. 05. 2026 22:40 08. 05. 2026 23:40 CET	9	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): spun
08. 05. 2026 22:40 08. 05. 2026 23:40 CET	9	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was not very high grip in here with the sand at the start. It was all ok.
08. 05. 2026 22:39 08. 05. 2026 23:39 CET	8	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was ok. It was difficult as the stage was slippery in general. It was difficult to calculate the speed.
08. 05. 2026 22:38 08. 05. 2026 23:38 CET	8	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): In some of the slower coners have a good system with Shane pulling the handbrake to get it to roatet in. I have already got my first blister. Let's see if you can keep it going. We are trying our best.
08. 05. 2026 22:38 08. 05. 2026 23:38 CET	8	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): problems with powersteering
08. 05. 2026 22:37 08. 05. 2026 23:37 CET	8	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I'm sorry for Adrien. He didn't deserve that, he was doing so well. The rally continues and I hope he didn't lose too much time.
08. 05. 2026 22:37 08. 05. 2026 23:37 CET	8	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): We knew this one was full of rocks so it punctures could happen but luckily we managed to stay out of trouble.
08. 05. 2026 22:36 08. 05. 2026 23:36 CET	8	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): double puncture
08. 05. 2026 22:36 08. 05. 2026 23:36 CET	8	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): was out of road
08. 05. 2026 22:35 08. 05. 2026 23:35 CET	8	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It just bottomed out.
08. 05. 2026 22:34 08. 05. 2026 23:34 CET	8	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): was out of road
08. 05. 2026 22:34 08. 05. 2026 23:34 CET	8	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): There is massive cleaning on this stage. It is really slippy. I tried to have a push. I did all I can. It is what it is.
08. 05. 2026 22:33 08. 05. 2026 23:33 CET	8	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It is really bad. Obviously we have changed a few things on the car but for this kind of first pass condition, it is a disaster. I'm still misisng a lot of grip but we know why, so it is fine.
08. 05. 2026 22:33 08. 05. 2026 23:33 CET	8	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It is clearly the worst so far for cleaning. I'm struggling a lot for feeling as well as grip.
08. 05. 2026 22:33 08. 05. 2026 23:33 CET	7	(59 - Mosca Adrien / Amblard Julie): retired before SS 7
08. 05. 2026 22:32 08. 05. 2026 23:32 CET	7	Stage is cancelled.
08. 05. 2026 22:31 08. 05. 2026 23:31 CET	7	Stage is stopped for safety reasosn (after Evans almost catched towing car).
08. 05. 2026 22:30 08. 05. 2026 23:30 CET	7	(31 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): technical problem - alternator before SS 7
08. 05. 2026 22:28 08. 05. 2026 23:28 CET	7	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It is so tough. It is surprising with all the bedrock and ruts it really comes through the steering wheel and vibrates your hands. We got through this one and let's see if we can do another three. Today is a good gym session.
08. 05. 2026 22:28 08. 05. 2026 23:28 CET	7	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was ok honestly. It is more the chassis balance and control which is my problem than the tyre.
08. 05. 2026 22:28 08. 05. 2026 23:28 CET	7	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was better with the car. We made some changes and I think it helped for sure. We changed suspension.
08. 05. 2026 22:28 08. 05. 2026 23:28 CET	7	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I tried to be careful with tyres and the feeling is better now. There is more grip in the road and we are on the same tyre as everyone else.
08. 05. 2026 22:27 08. 05. 2026 23:27 CET	7	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): We hit something really slightly but it is ok. We were slow in one hairpin and this has never happened with the car so it was strange. We need to see what happened.
08. 05. 2026 22:27 08. 05. 2026 23:27 CET	7	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I'm still lakcing grip but balance-wise it is better. I tried my best.
08. 05. 2026 22:26 08. 05. 2026 23:26 CET	7	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): catched by dust behind towing car on stage
08. 05. 2026 22:24 08. 05. 2026 23:24 CET	7	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): problem to start the car in remote service before stage
08. 05. 2026 22:24 08. 05. 2026 23:24 CET	7	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): problems with powersteering
08. 05. 2026 16:35 08. 05. 2026 17:35 CET	6	(31 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): Not really good. It is starting to be much more slippery and in some places it is tricky. I think the pace this morning was quite consistent.
08. 05. 2026 16:35 08. 05. 2026 17:35 CET	6	(24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): Maybe I was bit too sidways in some places. We missed the first braking point, too early, but the rest of the stage was okay. We keep improving and finally we can be closer to the fastest.
08. 05. 2026 16:35 08. 05. 2026 17:35 CET	6	(21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It is nice for me and maybe not for the others. It was a clean loop for me and we did the maxmimum to be honest. It is very difficult to start first in Rally2. Sometimes you don't lose so much time but it seems to be good.
08. 05. 2026 16:35 08. 05. 2026 17:35 CET	6	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): The rain was in the last few hundered metres so nothing much. The second pass will probably get wetter. There will be some muddy spots.
08. 05. 2026 16:34 08. 05. 2026 17:34 CET	6	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is good racing. It is like the Puma Cup and it is nice to have Martins here as well and we know how fast he is on gravel. It is nice to have a fight.
08. 05. 2026 16:34 08. 05. 2026 17:34 CET	6	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): We can change [the car] and try to be a little bit more close. We lost a lot of time and we don't have grip or traction.
08. 05. 2026 16:34 08. 05. 2026 17:34 CET	6	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It is probably not too bad of a time. This one was a bit drier than recce. It was a little bit different feeling. It has been an okay loop. We know we can improve and we need to improve. You can't do it all in one morning.
08. 05. 2026 16:33 08. 05. 2026 17:33 CET	6	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is good. It wa s good stage. I'm trying and changing the car alwasy a little bit and maube we will go in the right direction. It will be a tricky afternoon. I think there might be a risk of rain. We will have to make a good tyre choice.
08. 05. 2026 16:33 08. 05. 2026 17:33 CET	6	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): We tried a bit more in this one. We need to make some changes because the pace is not really what I would like to have. Dampers is the only thing we can change at remote service.
08. 05. 2026 16:33 08. 05. 2026 17:33 CET	6	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It is very nice and very good start to the rally. We had a good decision with the strategy so that is a team effort.
08. 05. 2026 16:32 08. 05. 2026 17:32 CET	6	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): The feeling is awful it is horrendous. It was not a good drive. There were quite a few loose rocks around and some unexpdected dampness. In some other places there was more grip than I thought. Not a perfect tyre choice, but that was my mistake. We are still in the fight so it is ok.
08. 05. 2026 16:32 08. 05. 2026 17:32 CET	6	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Yesterday wasn't the best so we tried to find something more for today. At least the feeling is really nice. The times so far have been nice today so I will try to keep up the same speed.
08. 05. 2026 16:32 08. 05. 2026 17:32 CET	6	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was a little bit better for sure. The stage is very difficult in character. It feels strange. I'm not really happy. I will change the tyres at the remote service.
08. 05. 2026 16:31 08. 05. 2026 17:31 CET	6	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was quite different to the rest of the rally really. There is a lot of changes to the surface. The grip was quite inconsistent.
08. 05. 2026 22:22 08. 05. 2026 23:22 CET	5	(76 - Rahill Craig / Smith Conor): retired after SS 5
08. 05. 2026 22:22 08. 05. 2026 23:22 CET	5	(76 - Rahill Craig / Smith Conor): was out of road
08. 05. 2026 16:31 08. 05. 2026 17:31 CET	5	(20 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): It was not so good than the previous. It was a new stage and new pace notes so it is always a bit more difficult. There are some tricky places with some really slippy corners.
08. 05. 2026 16:30 08. 05. 2026 17:30 CET	5	(24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): It was not that bad. We can do something better in some places. We need to keep trying to improve ourself.
08. 05. 2026 16:30 08. 05. 2026 17:30 CET	5	(21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I pushed to the maximum to be honest. When it was fast in the last part it was ok but on on the hilll it is impossible as we are alwasy on the smooth line. Now we need to push.
08. 05. 2026 16:30 08. 05. 2026 17:30 CET	5	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Something is not right but I'm not sure. I guess it is not easy to go with the pace when you have four races off.
08. 05. 2026 16:30 08. 05. 2026 17:30 CET	5	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is not bad, it is ok. We are just struggling with the balance.
08. 05. 2026 16:29 08. 05. 2026 17:29 CET	5	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I just braked and the car went straight. We don't have grip. We locked the tyres all the time. We have no traction. We can do nothing, we can continue like this.
08. 05. 2026 16:29 08. 05. 2026 17:29 CET	5	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): missed junction
08. 05. 2026 16:28 08. 05. 2026 17:28 CET	5	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It is such a nice stage and so flowing, and the surface is quite nice. I enjoyed it and I had a pretty good run. I probably could have gone faster over the jumps at the end.
08. 05. 2026 16:28 08. 05. 2026 17:28 CET	5	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is ok but it is not great and we are here and we are in the fight. We need to improve. The tyres were working and I don't think there is much wear.
08. 05. 2026 16:28 08. 05. 2026 17:28 CET	5	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I'm not fighting with the balance but I'm just too slow then. Seven time Portugal winner means nothing, every time you start again from zero.
08. 05. 2026 15:14 08. 05. 2026 16:14 CET	5	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It is an amazing stage. I prefer it as the downhill is faster. I like to discover new stages and even in reverse it feels new. It is very positive. We know we have the pace on gravel.
08. 05. 2026 15:14 08. 05. 2026 16:14 CET	5	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I tried to push but I don't have the grip with the tyres. It was very slippery in there. It i s ok so far until this morning. I tried but I didn't want to over try.
08. 05. 2026 15:13 08. 05. 2026 16:13 CET	5	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It was good stage once again. The feeling is nice with the car. You never really know and I'm just trying to have a good flow and it seems to be working.
08. 05. 2026 15:13 08. 05. 2026 16:13 CET	5	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Need to change a few things on the car. I need to understand the car more.
08. 05. 2026 15:12 08. 05. 2026 16:12 CET	5	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): There were things to discover with the grip and the new notes. It was not the best run maybe. I was maybe not brave enough. It was a bit more dry in places but in other places quite greasy and slippery.
08. 05. 2026 22:17 08. 05. 2026 23:17 CET	4	(69 - Nikara Jarkko / Maekawa Tomiya): accident in SS 4
08. 05. 2026 08:58 08. 05. 2026 09:58 CET	4	(41 - Charpentier Tristan / Pascaud Loris): accident in SS 4
08. 05. 2026 08:39 08. 05. 2026 09:39 CET	4	(25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The feeling was not good and we had some pop off valve issues at the beginning. It was not our pace at all.
08. 05. 2026 08:39 08. 05. 2026 09:39 CET	4	(20 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): It is really good to here. It was quite tricky and there were slippy places. I tried a bit more than yesterday.
08. 05. 2026 08:38 08. 05. 2026 09:38 CET	4	(24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): I really enjoyed it. For sure there was more commitment thna yesterday. I'm happy the time is good. It was not a mechanical issue yesterday I think we have improved a bit and everything is ok.
08. 05. 2026 08:38 08. 05. 2026 09:38 CET	4	(21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I don't expect to restart first but anyway it was good stage but we had no grip or traction. We need to see on the next one.
08. 05. 2026 08:38 08. 05. 2026 09:38 CET	4	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): This was quite hard on us last year. It was something just to get through. The feeling was not good. We just need to work on it and we will get there.
08. 05. 2026 08:37 08. 05. 2026 09:37 CET	4	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It was ok. We could do a bit more in there.
08. 05. 2026 08:37 08. 05. 2026 09:37 CET	4	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): We did a mistake yesterday, we put hard tyres instead of soft. Anyway, the guys who made the rules to set the tyres the day before - it's completely mad. No explanation. In F1 they don't put the tyres two days before! There's no point in doing this. We want to do a good spectacle. We need all the confidence to the meteo guy. This is not rally, just strategy. We want to push and make people happy with pushing using the right tyre.
08. 05. 2026 08:37 08. 05. 2026 09:37 CET	4	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It is quite interesting stage, a bit faster than what we had yesterday and the surface is different. It was pretty ok and I'm sure we can go faster in places by using the aero.
08. 05. 2026 08:36 08. 05. 2026 09:36 CET	4	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I did what I could honestly. Like yesterday I'm fighting understeer and oversteer. The car is very soft and I don't like it at all. Other than that it was a good stage.
08. 05. 2026 08:36 08. 05. 2026 09:36 CET	4	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It is very close. Not fantastic feeling but we are fighting.
08. 05. 2026 08:36 08. 05. 2026 09:36 CET	4	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It is an amazing stage every year, it is very demanding and I was really enjoying it. It was very good. It is quite early in the morning, but it is nice to see all the people.
08. 05. 2026 08:35 08. 05. 2026 09:35 CET	4	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Yeah. Not good. The feeling was horrible in the car and quite slippery. It is probably bit of both the car and the tyres. I know the stage well from Rally2 but in this car it is different.
08. 05. 2026 08:35 08. 05. 2026 09:35 CET	4	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is good. I tried to make a good time and the car felt better than yesterday. I think luckily it is damp and helping us at the front.
08. 05. 2026 08:35 08. 05. 2026 09:35 CET	4	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It felt quite ok but obviously Elfyn did a quite good push. Nothing special.
08. 05. 2026 08:33 08. 05. 2026 09:33 CET	4	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not sure [if the dampness will help], let see how it evolves I don't think it is a thick layer of dampness. There was quite a low level of grip overall.
08. 05. 2026 08:32 08. 05. 2026 09:32 CET	4	road is damp
07. 05. 2026 21:11 07. 05. 2026 22:11 CET	3	(36 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): Super happy to be here with this new project, my first time with this car on gravel. In here it was a bit difficult because the wheels were spinning a bit too much. Happy to be leading and can't wait for tomorrow.
07. 05. 2026 21:10 07. 05. 2026 22:10 CET	3	(29 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Listerud Jørn): It was terrible. I had so much spin from the differnetial and I could not get the car rotating. I still lost a lot of time. It has been a clean day.
07. 05. 2026 21:10 07. 05. 2026 22:10 CET	3	(28 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): No issues. I was just being a bit clever with the tyres. Tomorrow will be the main thing. Tomorrow will be a different story.
07. 05. 2026 21:10 07. 05. 2026 22:10 CET	3	(27 - Suninen Teemu / Hussi Janni): There are some things [not right with the car] and maybe the tyres were not the best choice but we are playing the long game. It will be fixable.
07. 05. 2026 21:10 07. 05. 2026 22:10 CET	3	(26 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): Not great. I had a turbo problem in stage two and it cost me a lot of time and it carried on in here. A pretty rubbish start to the rally.
07. 05. 2026 21:09 07. 05. 2026 22:09 CET	3	(30 - Camilli Eric / De La Haye Thibault): I have a rear diff problem. There is no service.
07. 05. 2026 21:09 07. 05. 2026 22:09 CET	3	(31 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): Good start to the rally for sure, it wasn't easy. I'm not used to the gravel, but the feeling in the car is so good, so let's try to push a bit more tomorrow.
07. 05. 2026 21:09 07. 05. 2026 22:09 CET	3	(25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Let's see tomorrow, today we were never on one tyre compound. This stage was quite fun, but I'd like to do it in the tarmac spec.
07. 05. 2026 21:08 07. 05. 2026 22:08 CET	3	(20 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): The car feels quite nice and the driving also but still we missed some pace in places.
07. 05. 2026 21:08 07. 05. 2026 22:08 CET	3	(24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): We have something broken on the car. I don't know what it is. It is what it is. We have to try and fix it. Maybe it is something on the differential or driveshaft.
07. 05. 2026 21:08 07. 05. 2026 22:08 CET	3	(21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): I think the pace was good to be honest. I don't expect to be near the front when you open the road. We are close, this is just the beginning.
07. 05. 2026 21:08 07. 05. 2026 22:08 CET	3	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): It was quite slippy on the hard tyre here. The first stage I was rusty and that happens when you are a few months out of the car. There were some good signs in stage two and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
07. 05. 2026 21:07 07. 05. 2026 22:07 CET	3	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): I prefer full sunshine for tomorrow. But hey, it is as it is. It's been an okay day, we lost a bit of rhythm, which hampered us a bit, but the first one was good. Let's try to take that into tomorrow.
07. 05. 2026 21:07 07. 05. 2026 22:07 CET	3	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was nice honestly I enjoy the day a lot. It is stupid to push as we have a long day tomorrow. I have a good feeling with the car today. I think we can push more tomorrow and be in the fight.
07. 05. 2026 21:06 07. 05. 2026 22:06 CET	3	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): I get to be a rally driver so that is always cool. It's a big challenge to do this event. It's a classic, especially tomorrow we're doing a lot of famous stages from the 90s. Obviously it's our first time in a proper rally gravel in this car, we'll keep enjoying, but also try to keep improving and get closer to the front guys.
07. 05. 2026 21:06 07. 05. 2026 22:06 CET	3	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is nice to be in some fight especially in the front. That's what we are here for. Unfortunately in a hairpin I had a half a spin and we lost a little bit of time. But genrally a good start to the rally. Some work to do for sure but we will try.
07. 05. 2026 21:06 07. 05. 2026 22:06 CET	3	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It wasn't the ideal start for us. We really struggled in the first stage and we managed to change the car a bit in the second. We were fighting a bit this afternoon. We have to try to do better tomorrow.
07. 05. 2026 21:06 07. 05. 2026 22:06 CET	3	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): To be fair we took the risks to take this damaged tyre in the stage to save one tyre. We are quite limited on softs for this rally. I'm quite happy with my day. It is a good start, let's see tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow, there will be a new stage with new pacenotes, so let's go!
07. 05. 2026 21:05 07. 05. 2026 22:05 CET	3	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I just tried to be clean and take it easy. We have no service so you don't want to touch anything. It has been an ok start. It's a long way to go and every day is going to be different. Tomorrow will be hard for the tyres and Saturday and Sunday different for the weather.
07. 05. 2026 21:05 07. 05. 2026 22:05 CET	3	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is only the first scratch into the race. It is not the best but tomorrow will be a really long day and we kneed to keep pushing. Hoepfully we can make the car better with the set up. It's slippy sometimes and the grip can change a lot, but you need to accept it, just need to push.
07. 05. 2026 21:04 07. 05. 2026 22:04 CET	3	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure tomorrow will be a bigger day. I didn't have such a good feeling so I need to find a better feeling for tomorrow. There is still a long way to go.
07. 05. 2026 21:04 07. 05. 2026 22:04 CET	3	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Moderately pleased. The second one seemed to be cleaning a bit and we expected that. It has been an ok start but still a long time to go in this rally.
07. 05. 2026 21:05 07. 05. 2026 22:05 CET	2	(35 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): retired after SS 2
07. 05. 2026 21:03 07. 05. 2026 22:03 CET	2	Stage is cancelled.
07. 05. 2026 21:03 07. 05. 2026 22:03 CET	2	Stage is stopped because car no. 52 is blocking the road.
07. 05. 2026 21:02 07. 05. 2026 22:02 CET	2	(52 - Marújo Diogo / Carvalho Jorge): accident in SS 2
07. 05. 2026 21:02 07. 05. 2026 22:02 CET	2	(25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It feels not easy on this stage there was no grip though. It was not easy to drive but maybe it is the same for everyone.
07. 05. 2026 21:01 07. 05. 2026 22:01 CET	2	(20 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): It was a bit better now. There was much better grip in there than I expected.
07. 05. 2026 21:01 07. 05. 2026 22:01 CET	2	(24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): There is one split where we avoided many rocks so we lost a bit of time there. We need to focus again and try to improve.
07. 05. 2026 21:00 07. 05. 2026 22:00 CET	2	(21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It is dififuclt to follow. We do the job for the meoment. I'm quite happy with the balance of the car and it is just the second gravel stage for this brand since they come back to the WRC.
07. 05. 2026 21:00 07. 05. 2026 22:00 CET	2	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): Maybe a bit of progress. At some point it felt good. It is like waves at the moment with the feeling. We need to work on something.
07. 05. 2026 20:59 07. 05. 2026 21:59 CET	2	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Towards the end it was very slippy and the ground is compact and the tyre is not biting. I didn't have such a good rhythm. Hopefully the long game pays off with the tyres.
07. 05. 2026 20:58 07. 05. 2026 21:58 CET	2	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): The tyres, I have no grip. I didn't do bad with the tyres I have. But the rally is long, so I'm happy to pass this stage and happy with my time for the tyres we have.
07. 05. 2026 20:58 07. 05. 2026 21:58 CET	2	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It is bit of exploring. The stage is very narrow and technical. It is quite polished from the rain and loose on top. It didn't feel great but we are here.
07. 05. 2026 20:58 07. 05. 2026 21:58 CET	2	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was ok but it is tough in there. There are a lot of lines in there. It is a very technical in there. It was an ok stage for us but still we had no feeling for the grip. I cannot trust it. That's something we need to improve. Unfortunately we lost a bit on the first one with a half spin.
07. 05. 2026 20:57 07. 05. 2026 21:57 CET	2	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It is a bit better. It is not fantastic but we have made some steps.
07. 05. 2026 20:57 07. 05. 2026 21:57 CET	2	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was a very good stage. I had a clean one and I was very careful as there were a lot of loose rocks everywhere. I was bit scared by punctures. I would like to ask the spectators to stand in safe places.
07. 05. 2026 20:57 07. 05. 2026 21:57 CET	2	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Not sure if I did the correct thing with the tyres. There was also a lot of loose rocks. I was just trying to be clean. The feeling is not there, it was far from good.
07. 05. 2026 20:56 07. 05. 2026 21:56 CET	2	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Actually the feeling wasn't too great, with the car and the balance, even had some moments. I was not expecting too great of a time.
07. 05. 2026 20:56 07. 05. 2026 21:56 CET	2	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Nothing special. It was a bit better than the first one. It feels quite slippy in many places. For sure Elfyn is committed, I will try to be as close as possible.
07. 05. 2026 20:56 07. 05. 2026 21:56 CET	2	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was quite loose espcially at the end. It was difficult to get any grip but it was ok.
07. 05. 2026 20:49 07. 05. 2026 21:49 CET	1	(23 - Virves Robert / Viilo Jakko): accident in SS 1
07. 05. 2026 20:49 07. 05. 2026 21:49 CET	1	(25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): It is more rutted and not easy to feel the balance of the car. It is ok but we need to adjust it a bit.
07. 05. 2026 20:49 07. 05. 2026 21:49 CET	1	(20 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): I felt quite soft when we came to the tarmac sections so I had to slow down a bit. There were also some rocks appearing in the road.
07. 05. 2026 20:49 07. 05. 2026 21:49 CET	1	(24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): It was really tough and I expected a bit more grip. I need to do something better for the next stage and try to understand where we can improve.
07. 05. 2026 20:49 07. 05. 2026 21:49 CET	1	(21 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud): It felt good. I think I don't have the full package to be fast on this one. It is a good start for me.
07. 05. 2026 20:48 07. 05. 2026 21:48 CET	1	(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I think maybe we were a bit rusty. There was some fun but ast some point it felt ok and then not really again. It is tricky but enjoyable of course.
07. 05. 2026 20:48 07. 05. 2026 21:48 CET	1	(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is not so bad and better than maybe I thought. The next one is longer but it is not a bad start.
07. 05. 2026 20:48 07. 05. 2026 21:48 CET	1	(6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I lost a little bit of time as I was not driving perfectly. I was really happy with the balance of the car. It was amazing to drive. Congrats to the guys, the car is working really good. I feel really comfortable. We will try to be as fast as possible.
07. 05. 2026 20:47 07. 05. 2026 21:47 CET	1	(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It is great to be in an event like this which is demanding with the schedule. It was the first proper gravel stage in this car and we can improve. Wr are just trying to save our soft tyres for the rest of the rally.
07. 05. 2026 20:47 07. 05. 2026 21:47 CET	1	(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was ok. It was honestly not a bad stage. I lost a bit on the last hairpin. It felt like the driveshaft was gone, but I think it was just wheel spin. I'm generally happy with my drive.
07. 05. 2026 20:47 07. 05. 2026 21:47 CET	1	(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I am struggling with the car. I need to do something. The balance is not good.
07. 05. 2026 20:47 07. 05. 2026 21:47 CET	1	(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It is a quite technical stage and very nice to drive. The ground was breaking up and making a lot of loose rocks. Actually I had some good fun.
07. 05. 2026 20:46 07. 05. 2026 21:46 CET	1	(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): I was very careful in the narrow foresst bit and also on the rallycross track. I wanted to take care of the tyres. It was a clean run. It's been a couple of tough events on the tarmac. The speed is there, we just have to push on.
07. 05. 2026 20:46 07. 05. 2026 21:46 CET	1	(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It is really different rally from what we have recently done. It is really hard to judge the pace. I'm trying to have a good pace. I'm not so familiar with being this early on the road.
07. 05. 2026 20:46 07. 05. 2026 21:46 CET	1	(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure it is better than being first on the road. I have ok grip but I'm struggling with understeer.
07. 05. 2026 20:45 07. 05. 2026 21:45 CET	1	(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not great. Very loose as to be expected but it was ok. It will be tough and we know this, but we will do the best we can.
