Car 1. OGIER/INGRASSIA
“It’s a bit more rough than the morning. We have a mixed tyre choice like the other top
drivers. But we are so far from the podium. It is a long way back.”
Car 11. NEUVILLE/WYDAEGHE
Hyundai opted to retire the car from the afternoon’s loop to enable the mechanics to work
on chassis damage before the car is shipped to Sardinia. Neuville will then take his place
at the start on Sunday and try and win the Wolf Power Stage. “Obviously there are still
little issues to solve after the crash from yesterday. The guys worked hard overnight but
we still have some small issues with us. The car was difficult to drive and we need to
investigate now. It doesn’t change a lot.”
Car 33. EVANS/MARTIN
“The feeling is okay. Mixed tyres on the car. I tried to be as fast and clean as possible.”
Car 8. TÄNAK/JÄRVEOJA
“The stages are a bit rough. This will keep us awake. It was a clean run. That is all what
we need at the moment.”
Car 69. ROVANPERÄ/HALTTUNEN
“The balance is okay on the second loop. I don’t struggle with the car so much on the
second loop. There is still some cleaning. The lines are not clear.”
Car 18. KATSUTA/BARRITT
“It’s okay, nothing special. I was not so confident in this one. I took this one easy. The
next and Amarante, I try to take a good time again.”
Car 16. FOURMAUX/JAMOUL
Opted for four soft tyres. “We chose, honestly, opening the road using less the tyres so
we use a soft tyre choice. Let’s see if it works or us. It’s experience, interesting and,
compared to this morning, we are happy.”
Car 44. GREENSMITH/PATTERSON
“We decided to take a bit of a gamble but I do believe I can make it work. It’s going to plan
so far. I am trying.”
Car 6. SORDO/ROZADA
“Putting in the maximum. At one time I was thinking I was punctured, but we are okay.”
Car 22. LAPPI/FERM
“Clearly some sections are drier than the morning and some are more rapid. Some more
bedrock, nothing crazy, a few loose rocks, but fine.”
Car 24. SUNINEN/MARKKULA
“It’s okay. It’s getting crazy now, incredibly rough and a matter of who gets through
without problems.”
Car 30. SOLBERG/JOHNSTON
Fastest time in WRC2. “Not bad now. It helps when you know the road. You can go as
fast as the others. As long as the tyres are fine I am happy. The car can tackle it.”
