Electrical problem
"Big weekend, big rally, fantastic rally for us. We had small problems with some things, but we are really happy."
"Rear diff problems I think. In this stage I try to be as safe as possible."
"One kilometre after the start we lost 2nd gear..."
SS13
"We drove very carefully as we want to go to the finish. The car is perfect now, the driver is not so good, but really enjoy it. One last stage and we must go to finish."
"I was pushing really hard. Really fast stage with big jumps. So many emotions, fantastic!"
It's fine, fantastic, the set-up of the car is really helping the driver to push more. I like those kind of stages.
Alot more rough than I expected. Again more alarms so all I can do is manage it. I went through the whole stage in stage mode, I had to adjust the rpm's
"We were worried for the front left driveshaft but was wheel. Now everythig is okay and this stage is really amazing. The jump through the corner was awesome..."
SS12
Had a spin and it took him a while to get the car back on the road.
Again in road mode
"Very bad stage, this is rally raid, only Kamaz go..."
"Not good, not good, I do not have a good rhythm, the stage was very hard for me."
"The stage is too hard for the cars and too hard for the drivers..."
Big problem with the engine, the temperature, we haven't so much power, but I like this stage, the stage is really nice.
"Not easy, too much stones in the road." "Není to jednoduché, na trati je spousta kamenů."
SS11
"I am happy with my driving but now we have a problem with the engine."
"I did not get the right rhythm from the first stage. Difficult in a lot of places, catch you by surprise."
"I had to drive on the road mode for the majority of that one, but it is what it is..."
"This stage was really nice, from hairpin to hairpin. I try to find a good rythmn. The guys in the service make the car perfect."
SS10
"Unlucky, we have overheat and spin in one corner. Reverse and come back to the road."
"The road position is bad, this was very nice stage, very fast, big sideways, I love it. The first nice stage of this weekend."
"Not so bad, we did have an alarm on in the stage but felt reasonably good, I was able to stay on stage mode. Obviously we are cleaning the road a bit so the guys behind are going to come quicker and quicker."
SS9
"I cannot say I am happy, but I am satisfied that we tried to do something right with the setting of the car."
"I will do my best tomorrow. Today was really good, I am happy with that, I am happy with the time. The car is working fantastic. We are ready to fight tomorrow."
SS8
"Fixed (power steering) but very high temperature now..."
"Quite rough, we had quite down on the power on the last section, water temperature was quite high."
SS7
"No power steering for, I dropped 20 seconds, I drove in road mode and no power steering for 20 kilometres, I just cannot believe how much has gone wrong in this rally."
The car (Consani's car) is in the side of the road, in the main road in a corner. I was a little bit slow in that.
Rolled
No powersteering for half of the stage, still using road mode most of the time.
SS6
"Good start, good grip. This stage I think we do it well, near to the limit in a lot of places."
Still having temperature issues. Using road mode most of the stage.
Hazard lights on. Driveshaft issues.
SS5
“I hit a stone in my racing line. This was a fast stage but we had a puncture on the right front tyre”
SS4
"Not good, we spun, we had to reverse and go back. The temperature went high, the car dropped the power."
"I remove the alarm from my board, I want to focus on the rally..."
SS3
"Very difficult, we just went over there driving quite slow. Okay."
"Okay, better to compare to the first one this morning. For the moment I do not have the confidence with myself. I must drive very slowly to finish the rally."
"We were on road mode for the most of that stage, I have no anti-lag, I cannot beleive I dropped 5-seconds in 20k..."
"It's okay, maybe I was too careful, but it is going to be a long rally. Now is okay (power steering). We are trying to keep calm." - Managed to fix power steering after the previous stage. / "Asi jsem byl moc opatrný, ale bude to dlouhá soutěž. Posilovač řízení funguje, podařilo se nám ho opravit."
"Very difficult for the brakes and very difficult for the tyres as well and even for the set-up. Now I understand better the car, but this one was very difficult for me."
"Very good stage, but very hot. I think no good time."
"This is nice stage, but not on this gravel tyres. We go very slow." - Commented that the engine temperature was starting to get a little high.
SS2
"The stage is very slippery, I made two mistakes, one spin and one big moment, but it is okay no problem."
"We got a puncture, we had a massive moment on the tarmac road, full 360... Massive, masssive moment, we managed to avoid the poles"
"We do not have power steering."
"Zigzagging all the time, We cannot find the grip as there is a lot of loose on the road. It is very difficult to find the correct point to brake."
“Big mistake, in 5th gear, very big adrenalin…”
“Perfect, but now we go very carefully, we do not want to make a mistake. We clean the track and just want to go to the finish.”
