INFORMATION ABOUT SS 5
retired (47 - Irie Satoshi / Kageyama Satoshi): accident in SS 5
retired (37 - Sasaki Yasuyuki / Matsushita Kazuki): accident in SS 5
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We could have done it this morning as well! It's a shame, we have the pace. I didn't push too much and just managed the pace, and still we have this time.
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I don't know what to do, to be honest.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): On one of the ditches, I caught the front and it made me go out and we just stopped in the barrier.
(17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): was out of road
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Second pass, new issues. Some electric stuff going on. No anti-lag and the throttle stays on in stage mode.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a challenging stage but obviously the conditions are a bit more straightforward.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I didn't use the grip. There were so many bad references from the morning, it was hard to ignore. I didn't use the full potential but, okay, we're here.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was quite okay. Definitely I was enjoying it more than in the morning, not cleaning the road all the time. A lot of fog in a few places, so still not easy conditions. It's difficult to be safe in these conditions but I still tried to keep a small margin and just enjoy the driving.
