Other info
Wadern-Weiskirchen weaves through open fields, with plenty of opportunities for corner cutting. The roads are narrow and it is littered with junctions, but the sections linking them are very quick. It’s a lapping stage and crews tackle the same roads twice before peeling off the ‘circuit’ to the finish. If it’s wet, the junctions will be very muddy.

Info
"Yeah, I had one slick at the rear and basically no traction because the whole stage is mud. I had to take it very carefully - it would be stupid to spin now. A good day apart from the slow puncture but we are in the lead so we are happy."
"Not a bad day for us. We came back after a difficult morning without the clutch and the wrong set-up. I'm very happy to be third tonight."
"Not so easy to find the lines in these conditions but I enjoyed it. I'm satisfied with the day. The car is good and the strategy is working out well. I'm looking forward to tomorrow."
"Really, really happy. We are pushing to the maximum. The conditions are getting worse so the only drivers we can compare to are the ones around us [in the start order]. We're 10 sec quicker that Kris so that shows how hard we are pushing."
"Very tricky. Every junction is full of mud. Not so enjoyable."
"This was the worst one."
"A bit of a mudbath. A very tricky afternoon. Tomorrow there will be a lot less rain so we can try and get some confidence back."
"An absolute disaster. I lost the rear, spun and had to go into the field. It cost five or six seconds."
"A very difficult day. Too much mud, not enjoyable."
"I tried to be clever and avoid any big mistakes. I was also a long time on the grass in one left-hand corner. The trickiest stage of the day."
"Conditions are really tricky - in one place we got stuck in the mud - it took so long to get back on the road with the slick tyres. A good day though."
"We had a spin and lost 20sec. A shame but that's how it is. It's going to be be tight. I knew I would struggle today - I haven't found the set-up I wanted in the car. Tomorrow is another day."
He's been off and there is a big branch stuck in the rear spoiler. "It happened on a very dirty corner, it was worse than aquaplaning. Nothing I could do. Happy to be here - still a long way to go."
