Information
Date and time SS Information
19.11.2023 12:11 22 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I get frustrated very easily when I am not on the pace and, this year, more or less we haven't been anywhere on the pace. It's been a tough year but at least we gave it a go. Let's see what the future brings next.
19.11.2023 01:11 19 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): All is fine.
19.11.2023 00:11 18 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Like I said, we have nothing to fight against Katsuta so there is nothing we can do there. It's tricky and the balance is so bad, it's like driving with a puncture at the front. It's nothing new this year, the feeling is just not there and nothing is working.
18.11.2023 23:11 17 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Bin it or win it - we tried to bin it but not yet. I understeered into an escape road.
18.11.2023 23:11 17 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): was out of road
18.11.2023 12:11 16 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I don't know why Kalle picked wet tyres. Probably they have some other idea. There are many people who have come here and it's definitely a great event for rallying.
18.11.2023 12:11 14 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's starting to come...
18.11.2023 12:11 13 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It started quite okay. We got a foggy screen in the middle, but that was our own mistake.
18.11.2023 03:11 12 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I can't say we are happy with the morning, but with the super special we are quite happy. It's quite a fun one actually.
18.11.2023 01:11 10 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's kind of working, or we're trying to make it work. It's tricky. Our last rally with M-Sport Ford, but still I would like to try and get the feeling which we haven't been able to find this year.
17.11.2023 12:11 8 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It should be all okay after service. Everything is now working okay, so we have no worries.
17.11.2023 12:11 7 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's not challenging at all, because I am just driving very slowly so there is nothing else we can do.
17.11.2023 12:11 6 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The car is struggling. We will try to get through but it's not really working.
17.11.2023 12:11 5 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.
17.11.2023 00:11 3 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Quite seasick to be honest. It started on the previous stage. I don't know what happened, but I guess there is no reason to drive like this.
17.11.2023 00:11 3 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): fogged window
16.11.2023 21:11 1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Big pressure with Taka, and I knew Taka was going to push! It was still fun and it's a great atmosphere here, very different to what we usually do and we could enjoy a bit. Obviously in the morning it gets more serious.
