Section:2
Special Stage:SS3 Penmachno 1 (16.19 km)

8. Ott Tänak (EST) / Martin Järveoja (EST) - Toyota Yaris WRC
It's tricky. Different to the previous one. My feeling about the car is much better. I'm really on the limit.

1. Sébastien Ogier (FRA) / Julien Ingrassia (FRA) - Citroen C3 WRC
It is a bit more muddy on this stage. We have a bit of mud, I need to try to remove it.

5. Kris Meeke (GBR) / Sebastian Marshall (GBR) - Toyota Yaris WRC
I was scrappy at the start. I lost a bit at the start.

10. Jari-Matti Latvala (FIN) / Miikka Anttila (FIN) - Toyota Yaris WRC
It's not easy I must say. The condition is more difficult than last year I can tell you. The grip is slipping quite a lot. It's OK. The main thing is to focus on the driving.

33. Elfyn Evans (GBR) / Scott Martin (GBR) - Ford Fiesta WRC
A very fast pace. Just went stright into the ditch.

7. Pontus Tidemand (SWE) / Ola Floene (NOR) - Ford Fiesta WRC
It's not easy.

21. Kalle Rovanperä (FIN) / Jonne Halttunen (FIN) - Skoda Fabia R5 Evo
I was a bit too careful so the time now is not so good.

23. Gus Greensmith (GBR) / Elliott Edmondson (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R5 Mkii
It was slippy. But I really enjoyed it.

22. Mads Ostberg (NOR) / Torstein Eriksen (NOR) - Citroen C3 R5
It's quite tricky and I really struggle with my braking. I had no feeling and I tried to use all the experience I have but I can't drive it well.

45. Kajetan Kajetanowicz (POL) / Maciej Szczepaniak (POL) - Volkswagen Polo R5
Two punctures. We have two punctures!

41. Benito Guerra (MEX) / Jaime Zapata (MEX) - Skoda Fabia R5 Evo
It was ok, we had a problem with the screen, it was difficult to see. Very diffcult rally. I love it.

43. Pierre-louis Loubet (FRA) / Vincent Landais (FRA) - Skoda Fabia R5
It's ok I was careful as I didn't want to make a mistake because it's easy to do one so it was ok.

44. Ole Christian Veiby (NOR) / Jonas Andersson (SWE) - Volkswagen Polo R5
Wow it was ok. We tried to push but not really there on the fast sections, but ok. We enjoyed.

49. Marco Bulacia (BOL) / Fabian Cretu (ARG) - Skoda Fabia R5
It was very difficult. There was some moments but we're OK.

47. Fabio Andolfi (ITA) / Simone Scattolin (ITA) - Skoda Fabia R5
I found the rain left a lot of water in the road.

50. Paulo Nobre (BRA) / Gabriel Morales (BRA) - Skoda Fabia R5
Very very slippery, twisty and I got a little bit afraid that my pace notes could not be so perfect so I slowed down a little bit to be sure. But this is Wales! A lot of mud, very slippery, very tricky and so much fun.

46. Alberto Heller (CHL) / Jose Diaz (ARG) - Ford Fiesta R5 Mkii
It was nice. First time for us in Wales. It was quicker between the muddy sections. It was OK, as it's our first time we want to finish the rally.

53. Adrien Fourmaux (FRA) / Renaud Jamoul (BEL) - Ford Fiesta R5
The first stage was really good. This one, I was really comfortable with my pace notes. We went straight instead of turning left. We lost maybe seven or eight seconds?

55. Petter Solberg (NOR) / Phil Mills (GBR) - Volkswagen Polo R5
Very careful, such difficult conditions. We enjoy it but nothing risky and we just continue.

56. Guillaume De Mevius (BEL) / Martijn Wydaeghe (BEL) - Citroen C3 R5
It was ok. We were careful because we don't want to make a mistake.

51. Rhys Yates (GBR) / James Morgan (GBR) - Hyundai NG i20 R5
Great, good, yea nice. I was dreading that one but I actually enjoyed it so it went well. Glasses are steaming up so it's all good.

71. Tom Kristensson (SWE) / Henrik Appelskog (SWE) - Ford Fiesta R2
Really well! I did one mistake and it's very slippery but I'm here and everything is good.

72. Jan Solans (ESP) / Mauro Barreiro (ESP) - Ford Fiesta R2
I really don't know about my pace.

75. Tom Williams (GBR) / Phil Hall (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
Yea, it's going ok but we got a puncture in the last stage and everybody's going off. It's really hard, car's not going in a straight line it's really tricky.

74. Roland Poom (EST) / Ken Jarveoja (EST) - Ford Fiesta R2
It was quite OK, a nice stage. We tried to push but not really there on the fast sections. It was OK, we enjoy.

76. Enrico Oldrati (ITA) / Elia De Guio (ITA) - Ford Fiesta R2
A little bit slippery but it's OK, the way of the rally. We drive carefully through the second loop.

77. Sean Johnston (USA) / Alex Kihurani (USA) - Ford Fiesta R2
Not too bad, we got better and better through the stage, the first sector was terrible, it will be dismissable. I'm playing with the settings trying to get the power down but I'm getting more and more comfortable.

78. Fabrizio Zaldivar (PRY) / Fernando Mussano (ARG) - Ford Fiesta R2
Very good. We hit a big rut and I managed to get straight again.

80. Ryan Booth (USA) / Rhianon Gelsomino (AUS) - Ford Fiesta R2
Really rough and really slick. It was a blast though. I'm getting tired out here!

81. Keanna Erickson-Chang (USA) / Niall Burns (IRL) - Ford Fiesta R2
Really tricky stage on the sharp and blind crests. Was fun though.

95. Josh Mcerlean (GBR) / Keaton Williams (GBR) - Hyundai NG i20 R5
It was good fun. Really getting to grips and enjoying it.

91. Nikolay Gryazin (RUS) / Yaroslav Fedorov (RUS) - Skoda Fabia R5
No grip, very slippy. On the first part it was difficult to see the road, big stones. Struggling through the whole stage.

92. Takamoto Katsuta (JPN) / Daniel Barritt (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R5 Mkii
Very tricky. Very slippy, so I went very carefully. But ok.

94. Tom Cave (GBR) / Dale Furniss (GBR) - Hyundai NG i20 R5
I've got no wipers, nothing. Really difficult. Got to get back to service. I can't see anything.

96. Patrick Dejean (FRA) / Lionel Currat (FRA) - Ford Fiesta R5
Not so good, we have a puncture. We tried to keep to the centre of the road. Not very good.

97. Eamonn Boland (IRL) / MJ (IRL) - Ford Fiesta R5
Not bad. It was better than the first one!

100. Ruairi Bell (GBR) / Darren Garrod (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
Tough. Very tough. Lots of things to catch you out in there. Luckily I wasn't caught out but a couple of moments here and there, not ideal but we'll keep going and see what we can do in the next stage.

101. Philippe Casado (FRA) / Kevin Bronner (FRA) - Peugeot 208 R2
It was ok.

102. Josh Cornwell (GBR) / Dai Roberts (GBR) - Peugeot 208 R2
