Car 1. OGIER/INGRASSIA
Posted the target time of 9min 01.3sec and was five seconds faster on his second run.
Car 8. TÄNAK/JARVEOJA
“We have been trying hard this afternoon. The conditions are not so consistent. We tried
our best and I am happy with the day.”
Car 11. NEUVILLE/GILSOUL
“We knew it was going to be difficult. We are missing a little bit of speed, plus the mistake
I made this morning. I was not in the rhythm.”
Car 5. MEEKE/MARSHALL
“The first stage wasn’t so rough but, when it is rough, I seem to lose a bit of pace
compared to the others.”
Car 33. EVANS/MARTIN
“It was something really simple (issue SS4). Now it is all sorted.”
Car 19. LOEB/ELENA
“Difficult, we have a problem. Not so much but a little bit in the stage. In the fast section
the engine was not working.”
Car 4. LAPPI/FERM
“The time is surprisingly good. I got a few surprises. I need to be careful with the
punctures. I could not discover the grip.”
Car 10. LATVALA/ANTTILA
“I stalled the engine at the hairpin and took a long time to get the engine going again.
This was not ideal for the road position. Let’s see what Teemu (Suninen) does.”
Car 3. SUNINEN/SALMINEN
Slipped from third to sixth with the loss of 56 seconds. “No brakes at all. I cannot do
anything with this car. Maybe I hit something, but I did not recognise (feel) anything.”
Car 6. SORDO/DEL BARRIO
Front-left puncture on SS5 and lost 1min 05sec. “It was good before. I only have one tyre.
What I can do, you know? First on the road tomorrow. That is typical…”
Car 22. PIENIAZEK/GERBER
“Actually not so well today. I struggled with the car. We try to improve tomorrow. We have
stages tomorrow that we know well and we try to push.”
Car 23. ROVANPERÄ/HALTTUNEN
“It was the first one of the loop and we had a puncture out of nowhere. It was not so nice.
The stages are rougher than I expected. It is not so enjoyable and you cannot drive flat all
the time. I do not want to risk anything.”
