Date:05/10/2019
Section:3
Special Stage:SS12 Myherin 1 (22.91 km)
Weather:Low cloud, possibly mist in the air
Road Conditions:Damp

4. Esapekka Lappi (FIN) / Janne Ferm (FIN) - Citroen C3 WRC
Quite nice. There was some light cloud but it wasn't disturbing the visibility too much. It was ten times better than the opener, I have some grip now.

7. Pontus Tidemand (SWE) / Ola Floene (NOR) - Ford Fiesta WRC
The feeling is very good, so I really enjoy to drive. The car is working very well so we just keep going like this.

33. Elfyn Evans (GBR) / Scott Martin (GBR) - Ford Fiesta WRC
It here it was quite slippery in some places, we ended up a bit more sideways than in some places but all OK.

3. Teemu Suninen (FIN) / Jarmo Lehtinen (FIN) - Ford Fiesta WRC
I believe it was a bit better. I was too careful in some places so I lost some time.

42. Craig Breen (IRL) / Paul Nagle (IRL) - Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC
I just got caught out on a note, a little bit optimistic. This place has given me some amazing memories but some shocking ones as well.

89. Andreas Mikkelsen (NOR) / Anders Jaeger (NOR) - Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC
That was a beautiful stage, a new section there. A long day and we'll try to push as fast as we can all the time. We try as hard as we can, it's not easy.

11. Thierry Neuville (BEL) / Nicolas Gilsoul (BEL) - Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC
The first stage went OK but I don't know how this stage was now. I had to stop when I saw Craig off the road. We tried. In this stage it was sliding quite a lot. It's the behaviour of the car on many stages, we have to drive sideways to go fast.

5. Kris Meeke (GBR) / Sebastian Marshall (GBR) - Toyota Yaris WRC
Quite good, the grip was quite inconsistant. Very slippery from the start, there was some big stones and to pick your line though that was quite difficult. The road position isn't great but I'd rather be where I am.

1. Sébastien Ogier (FRA) / Julien Ingrassia (FRA) - Citroen C3 WRC
A good stage, we are trying. For me, I cannot go any faster.

8. Ott Tänak (EST) / Martin Järveoja (EST) - Toyota Yaris WRC
It was demanding. The grip was changing and not so easy. So far so good.

21. Kalle Rovanperä (FIN) / Jonne Halttunen (FIN) - Skoda Fabia R5 Evo
We had to overtake Jan on the stage. I don't know what happened to him, I hope he is OK. It was not so bad for us. We have a big gap in our category now so we just have to go through.

25. Hayden Paddon (NZL) / John Kennard (NZL) - Ford Fiesta R5 Mkii
I've always enjoyed this stage but it's a bit more difficult when we're trying to get used to the car, so we're just trying a lot of things with the setup.

43. Pierre-louis Loubet (FRA) / Vincent Landais (FRA) - Skoda Fabia R5
Very difficult, not the best. I think it was quite slippery everywhere so difficult to judge the grip.

91. Nikolay Gryazin (RUS) / Yaroslav Fedorov (RUS) - Skoda Fabia R5
Nothing special, but we are driving. All we can do.

55. Petter Solberg (NOR) / Phil Mills (GBR) - Volkswagen Polo R5
Difficult, unbelievable, it's better for me today but I am struggling on the fast to translate the pace notes properly

94. Tom Cave (GBR) / Dale Furniss (GBR) - Hyundai NG i20 R5
Good. I think it's ok.

53. Adrien Fourmaux (FRA) / Renaud Jamoul (BEL) - Ford Fiesta R5
It was really enjoyable, really good stage for us. I think we made good time. I don't think I was awake for the first stage this morning.

44. Ole Christian Veiby (NOR) / Jonas Andersson (SWE) - Volkswagen Polo R5
I've got a bit more rhythm now, a lot better feeling now than previously. Really nice stages today so looking forward to them.

93. Matt Edwards (GBR) / Mark Glennerster (GBR) - Hyundai NG i20 R5
Even after the first stage this morning we'd doubled our mileage in the car. Struggling with rear grip now, Struggling to keep it in line.

54. Oliver Solberg (NOR) / Aaron Johnston (GBR) - Volkswagen Polo R5
In the middle of the line at the beginning there was a big rock, I didn't see it and I hit it. But no problems, it was a good stage.

49. Marco Bulacia (BOL) / Fabian Cretu (ARG) - Skoda Fabia R5
We're happy. Last stage we had a puncture.

92. Takamoto Katsuta (JPN) / Daniel Barritt (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R5 Mkii
More simple. Improving, so I enjoyed this stage.

46. Alberto Heller (CHL) / Jose Diaz (ARG) - Ford Fiesta R5 Mkii
Good, really fast. Difficult but happy. Our target is only to finish with no mistakes

47. Fabio Andolfi (ITA) / Simone Scattolin (ITA) - Skoda Fabia R5
Very fast at this stage and slippery, these conditions are not easy. Stage after stage my feeling improves.

41. Benito Guerra (MEX) / Jaime Zapata (MEX) - Skoda Fabia R5 Evo
Not really happy. I thought we were going faster.

51. Rhys Yates (GBR) / James Morgan (GBR) - Hyundai NG i20 R5
Really enjoyed that. Big slides. A lot more flowing than before, I can feel the car a little bit more.

45. Kajetan Kajetanowicz (POL) / Maciej Szczepaniak (POL) - Volkswagen Polo R5
I tried to improve our pace notes for next year and to have fun.

72. Jan Solans (ESP) / Mauro Barreiro (ESP) - Ford Fiesta R2
I think it was good but we need to see the times of my competitors.

71. Tom Kristensson (SWE) / Henrik Appelskog (SWE) - Ford Fiesta R2
Feels really good right now, I've got a good flow and good pace. No drama and no moments, really enjoying this.

56. Guillaume De Mevius (BEL) / Martijn Wydaeghe (BEL) - Citroen C3 R5
I stay on the road, I touch nothing and I have punctures! I think it happened 5km in.

73. Dennis Rädström (SWE) / Johan Johansson (SWE) - Ford Fiesta R2
Too wild, too aggressive!

74. Roland Poom (EST) / Ken Jarveoja (EST) - Ford Fiesta R2
The car isn't getting up the hills, you have to play with the throttle. We tried to learn the stages as we werein trouble yesterday.

50. Paulo Nobre (BRA) / Gabriel Morales (BRA) - Skoda Fabia R5
I love this fantastic special stage, really fast, slippery in many places with mud everywhere, of course we are in Wales. Really enjoyable. I think this is the stage I enjoy the most so far.

77. Sean Johnston (USA) / Alex Kihurani (USA) - Ford Fiesta R2
It was gorgeous, super fun and so great to see so many fans up there. Love it, great atmosphere. car's working well, I'm working well, Alex is working well, it's all moving in a good direction.

97. Eamonn Boland (IRL) / MJ (IRL) - Ford Fiesta R5
Not too bad. Nice and smooth.

100. Ruairi Bell (GBR) / Darren Garrod (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
I just need to get going.

78. Fabrizio Zaldivar (PRY) / Fernando Mussano (ARG) - Ford Fiesta R2
A very nice stage, very fast and flowing.

102. Josh Cornwell (GBR) / Dai Roberts (GBR) - Peugeot 208 R2
Not too bad, enjoyed that one. There was a few bits I had to cut.

76. Enrico Oldrati (ITA) / Elia De Guio (ITA) - Ford Fiesta R2
This one was good for me but I'm trying to get more feeling with the car on this surface. Today is better than yesterday but still learning this surface.

80. Ryan Booth (USA) / Rhianon Gelsomino (AUS) - Ford Fiesta R2
Pretty good, pretty slick up there but it felt pretty good. Slowly chipping away, getting better and better.

Very nice, we are just taking care of the car so we don't have any problems like yesterday.

104. Edward Lewis (GBR) / Dominic Adams (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
Really fast, probably a little bit cautious in places.

105. Louise Cook (GBR) / Stefan Davis (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
We got a puncture half way. It seemed to be alright so I didn't think it was a puncture, but it's gone soft, not gone completely.

81. Keanna Erickson-Chang (USA) / Niall Burns (IRL) - Ford Fiesta R2
A tough one, the notes in there weren't great, inconsistent.
