STAGE FLASH

Date:06/10/2018
Section:2
Special Stage:SS7 Clocaenog 2 (7.67 km)
Weather:Cloudy
Road Conditions:Wet

5. Thierry Neuville (BEL) / Nicolas Gilsoul (BEL) - Hyundai i20 Coupé WRC
We changed the dampers and springs in service and it took a little bit of time to get used to it, but it feels better. Maybe it will work a bit better for us.

8. Ott Tänak (EST) / Martin Järveoja (EST) - Toyota Yaris WRC
The road has a lot more grip than this morning. Let's see how it develops but the guys on the medium tyres will be fast as well.

1. Sébastien Ogier (FRA) / Julien Ingrassia (FRA) - Ford Fiesta WRC
Grip was better, car is fixed, so much better this time.

9. Esapekka Lappi (FIN) / Janne Ferm (FIN) - Toyota Yaris WRC
No mistakes this time, better start definitely. The feeling was really nice, we changed a lot in service. Car feels better

7. Jari-Matti Latvala (FIN) / Miikka Anttila (FIN) - Toyota Yaris WRC
That felt quite good. A couple of junctions I was maybe trying to come too close and brake too late but otherwise fine. There is a long way to go.

4. Andreas Mikkelsen (NOR) / Anders Jaeger (NOR) - Hyundai i20 Coupé WRC
We made some changes to the car and it feels better. At least the car feels more like how I want it. I didn't take advantage of that in this stage but we'll see what we can do.

3. Teemu Suninen (FIN) / Mikko Markkula (FIN) - Ford Fiesta WRC
It was a good stage for us. Very suprised by the grip level - it was much better than in the morning.

6. Hayden Paddon (NZL) / Sebastian Marshall (GBR) - Hyundai i20 Coupé WRC
Difficult to tell onthis stage. This is a warm up for the next two. We're keeping a comfortable pace at the moment and trying to learn a few things for tomorrow.

10. Mads Ostberg (NOR) / Torstein Eriksen (NOR) - Citroen C3 WRC
It's not so bad. I don't think my pace is developing better. I try, we can't go much faster as we are on the limit. We changed the suspension in service and that is better now. We will try this afternoon to find a setup that works.

11. Craig Breen (IRL) / Scott Martin (GBR) - Citroen C3 WRC
I could have done better in there than that. We'll go better on the next one.

33. Lukasz Pieniazek (POL) / Przemyslaw Mazur (POL) - Skoda Fabia R5
No big problems. I missed my line at one junction but it was OK.

34. Fabio Andolfi (ITA) / Simone Scattolin (ITA) - Skoda Fabia R5
I didn't have a good feeling in that stage at all.

35. Ole Christian Veiby (NOR) / Stig Rune Skjaermoen (NOR) - Skoda Fabia R5
My handbrake locked on at the start. I was standing for 10-15 seconds before I went off the start line.

36. Kalle Rovanperä (FIN) / Jonne Halttunen (FIN) - Skoda Fabia R5
Time looks good. I made a mistake in there but it still looks like the fastest time so OK.

37. Jari Huttunen (FIN) / Antti Linnaketo (FIN) - Hyundai i20 R5
That went OK but it was difficult.

40. Stéphane Lefebvre (FRA) / Gabin Moreau (FRA) - Citroen C3 R5
Quite good. We tried to find a good setup but it's not easy to find the right one.

38. Pierre-Louis Loubet (FRA) / Vincent Landais (FRA) - Hyundai i20 R5
We tried in there but my time still wasn't very good.

42. Simone Tempestini (ROU) / Itu Sergiu (ROU) - Citroen C3 R5
That stage was like the others.

41. Marco Bulacia Wilkinson (BOL) / Fabian Cretu (ARG) - Skoda Fabia R5
All good, perfect thank you.

61. Taisko Lario (FIN) / Tatu Hatamalainen (FIN) - Peugeot 208 R2
The ruts are quite deep and we're worried about punctures so avoiding the big ruts.

64. Tom Williams (GBR) / Phil Hall (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
More rough this time, good rhythm had to make sure our pace was OK.

63. Louise Cook (GBR) / Stefan Davis (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
A bit better, I've been making lots of mistakes and losing lots of minutes, but no mistakes in that stage.

62. Enrico Brazzoli (ITA) / Luca Beltrame (ITA) - Peugeot 208 R2
Not good, more slippy than I thought. Thought I was faster.

83. Rhys Yates (GBR) / Elliott Edmondson (GBR) - Skoda Fabia R5
Changed settings in service so the car is better, but stages are rougher than I thought they would be.

84. Tom Cave (GBR) / James Morgan (GBR) - Hyundai i20 R5
A lot happier now, no problems in there

85. Gaurav Gill (IND) / Glenn Macneall (AUS) - Ford Fiesta R5
New tyres. It's all about learning and developing the tyres.

89. Paulo Nobre (BRA) / Gabriel Morales (BRA) - Skoda Fabia R5
I'm angry about the time penalty for being late at the control after the traffic jam. I'm so angry I knocked six seconds off my time this morning!

81. Matt Edwards (GBR) / Darren Garrod (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R5
It was a bit off a mess getting in and out of Deeside. I did not check everything I wanted to.

86. Alex Laffey (GBR) / Patrick Walsh (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R5
Stage went well but there was pressure caused by traffic on way to stage, I was not able to make the changes which we wanted to the car.

87. Eamonn Boland (IRL) / Mj Morrissey (IRL) - Ford Fiesta R5
We got caught on the traffic on the way here but other than that we had no problems.

91. Jean-Baptiste Franceschi (FRA) / Romain Courbon (FRA) - Ford Fiesta R2
The grip on the car was better than this morning so we had fun and enjoyed that one.

92. Steve Rokland (NOR) / Dai Roberts (GBR) - Peugeot 208 R2
Better grip this time. I was a bit stressed because of the traffic to the stage out of Deeside. I think we were a bit late.

93. James Williams (GBR) / Tom Woodburn (GBR) - Opel Adam R2
No time to change things on the car which we wanted to. We got straight into the stage and it was OK.

100. Jordan Reynolds (GBR) / Peredur Davies (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
A lot better. It's not raining, we had a good feeling with the car on that stage.

95. Tony Jardine (GBR) / Tom Cary (GBR) - Mitsubishi Evolution IX GT
My codriver is feeling much better now. The stage was OK apart from a little off we had last night.

88. Sacha Kakad (GBR) / James Aldridge (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R5
That stage was good. We had a bit of trouble today but I think everything was OK now.

97. John Morrison (GBR) / Peter Carstairs (GBR) - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX
Not too bad. It was very slippy but it was fine.

101. Finlay Retson (GBR) / Tom Hynd (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
Much better. Probably the best stage of the day. I was quite happy with that.

102. Spencer Wilkinson (GBR) / Glyn Thomas (GBR) - Subaru Impreza WRX STi
I'm not going fast enough but I still enjoyed it and that's the main bit.

99. Scott Partridge (GBR) / Fiona Scarret (GBR) - Subaru Impreza
A lot better than this morning. We have some new tyres which has made a great difference.

104. Alex Waterman (GBR) / Harry Thomas (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2T
It was tight getting here but my run through the stage was good.

105. Bart Lang (GBR) / Sinclair Young (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
Mega run but I made a mistake near the end and went up on two wheels but was OK and much better than this morning.

107. Nabila Tejpar (GBR) / Richard Bliss (GBR) - Peugeot 208 R2
A good run through there.

108. Jonathan Mulholland (GBR) / Jeff Case (IRL) - Ford Fiesta R2
It wasn't as bad the first time and we went a bit quicker.

106. Saleh Hijazi (GBR) / Stephen Landen (GBR) - MG ZR
Much better than this morning. it's drier

109. Stephen Southall (GBR) / Richard Bestwick (GBR) - Ford Escort Mk2
Brilliant. It was cut up but it was sound.

110. Iwan Evans (GBR) / Sion Williams (GBR) - Subaru Impreza
It was very rough in some places but we had a tidy run through.
