Information
Date and time SS Information
19.11.2023 12:11 22 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was not easy with the conditions we had this week, even though we had a massive gap already after Friday night. A massive thanks to the team, the car's been great and a 1-2-3 for Toyota is a fantastic result.
19.11.2023 04:11 21 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): A bit happier than I was first thing this morning, but of course we know it's not over until it's over. We have to keep concentrating now for the last one.
19.11.2023 04:11 20 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): One of the most challenging ones. Extremely difficult and there seemed to be zero grip, we were at walking speed near the end there. All okay.
19.11.2023 01:11 19 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I thought the last one was bad, but this was even worse! The conditions came as a bit of surprise... not nice.
19.11.2023 00:11 18 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): You just don't know if somebody wants to go on a big push, you can make a really big dent in a minute in these conditions. We're just trying to cover that at the moment.
18.11.2023 23:11 17 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not sure there will be a big Power Stage push today, but let's see what happens. There's still a long way to go today and we're just trying to keep it clean. The next one looks difficult, that's all we know.
18.11.2023 12:11 16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Quite a nice atmosphere in there and nice to get through without any issues. Let's see what's in front of us tomorrow.
18.11.2023 12:11 15 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been pretty okay. Getting caught in the rain in the previous one was not nice and we were maybe too careful in some places, but it was always going to be a bit tricky to judge with such a big gap.
18.11.2023 12:11 14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I thought I was going to be a minute down. It was raining very early on into the stage - I can't believe it.
18.11.2023 12:11 13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Very difficult, especially in these very narrow and muddy places. You're never happy when it's like this but we're doing what we've got to do for now.
18.11.2023 03:11 12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The first stage was fine this morning, but on the second one I was probably a bit too safe which cost us some time.
17.11.2023 12:11 8 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It didn't feel so great this morning, I felt like was losing a minute, but clearly the others were having similar sensations. It can sometimes happen like that.
17.11.2023 12:11 7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It didn't feel so good, especially towards the end here. It's been tough, obviously. This morning, especially, was quite bad, but the afternoon was also not easy to adapt to after the zero-grip situation of the morning to having something you actually have to drive with.
17.11.2023 12:11 6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): That's a shame. It's difficult out there, but this stage did definitely feel better. We have to keep going. There's still a long way to go.
17.11.2023 12:11 5 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.
17.11.2023 00:11 3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I can't really see where I'm going, so it's not easy! There's more standing water here, but both stages so far have been equally as bad.
17.11.2023 00:11 3 (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): overshoot junction
16.11.2023 23:11 2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's horrific. I felt so slow in so many places, but then also on the edge in others. It's impossible to judge.
16.11.2023 21:11 1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I didn't have a good run, that goes without saying really for these super specials. It's obviously a big day tomorrow.
