Information
Date and time SS Information
16.02.2024 19:02 8 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): For sure we need to take the confidence from today and stay concentrated for the rest of the rally. I wasn't too slow against Kalle Rovanperä in the beginning, so I'm fairly satisfied with that and in the afternoon, we used our road postion like we should.
16.02.2024 17:02 7 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It felt way too slow, but it seems we set the fastest time so it's ok. Visibility was quite poor; when you're driving at over 160km/h, it's a bit crazy when you can't see far but you need to trust the notes and that's it.
16.02.2024 16:02 6 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's tough to understand what kind of speed you should carry. You go a couple of centimetres wrong and you're done because you can't control anything. It's not called aquaplaning - it's snowplaning! It's a very thin line in these conditons. Even if you play it safe, you can still lose it.
16.02.2024 15:02 5 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I drove smartly, but I think Grégoire [Munster - ahead of him on the road] does not really have the experience to know how to drove in these conditions so the line was fully ****ed for me! He was everywhere! For sure, that was one of the most challenging snow stages I've done.
16.02.2024 12:02 4 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): We touched a snowbank quite heavily, somewhere around the 10km mark. I saw Ott and Kalle stopped, which didn't really give me much confidence. It was quite messy; there was really no grip at all.
16.02.2024 12:02 3 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It was fairly ok. I had a clean stage with no big time loss anywhere, but at some braking points I was too early - the same problem as yesterday evening. If we can improve that, the times should be a bit better.
16.02.2024 12:02 2 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): There was one corner where I touched quite heavily. After that, I maybe drove a bit too slow. Maybe that was not a smart idea. I should have used the snowbanks instead.
15.02.2024 19:02 1 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I don't know why we lost so much, I guess it shows we do not have enough grip.
