Other info
El Montmell has a good surface but it’s narrow throughout, and there are some very high-speed cuts to focus drivers’ minds. The opening is extremely quick, with a chicane before Can Ferrer de la Cogullada to reduce speeds. After the village, the route becomes twistier before finishing with a dizzying bend-filled descent known as Les Ventoses. Extended at the finish by 260 metres from 12 months ago.

Info
"I struggled to get a good feeling. Some rain in the middle. A lot of understeer - that was a limiter for me."
"Obviously too slow. Not a super feeling, a bit of rain at the beginning, a bit of understeer. Not perfect, but okay, we will try harder on the next one."
"It felt good we had no asphalt test and I thought the car was perhaps a bit too soft. I had the the wipers on full as one point, but then in the forest we were protected a bit."
"I'm not so happy with the car. It's not behaving like it should do, it's not turning. We need to try and improve."
"I went off immediately, after just a few hundred metres. I lost a lot of time and my confidence too."
"I'm understeering like hell. In every corner. It's undriveable."
"Okay. Not completely happy but an okay start. I have a compromise set-up."
"I know we have a car on Tarmac. I tried to push but I'm unhappy with my driving."
Car missing its rear-left window. Which is a surprise to Lappi. "Really? It must have been loose. Otherwise no moments, a bit on the safe side, so easy to improve."
"At the beginning of the stage it's raining like hell, but only for 3km. My drive was okay, a little understeer, like I expected, but okay. Seeing Hanninen's time, we need to improve."
"The feeling from a driving point of view was not so bad, but we struggled in the second half - the car was understeering whenever I leaned on it. Difficult."
"A little bit cautious because it was a damp at the start and the car was sliding."
