[Speaking about SS6] "It was incredibly foggy. We couldn't see our hands in front of our face. Additionally our low-beam light didn't work optimally. So visibility was almost zero which easily explains the time-gap."
Xavier Pons [Subaru WRT]:
“The screen was just completely misty for the last three stages, and I just didn't see anything, it's incredible. And also the last stage, it was very foggy so it was very difficult. For me, it's my first time in these conditions, but okay, I have arrived here at the end of the day. This is important. Tomorrow I think will be better if the screen is ok, as that is more important than the conditions so I am looking forward to it.”
[Speaking in the mid-day service] "Okay, the first stage was not bad, and the car felt well balanced, but on the second stage we had a lot of oversteer and I spun near the start. We had a lot of fog in SS2 and in places visibility was down to a few metres. From then on it was okay, but we continued to have more oversteer and I haven't felt comfortable in the car. In service now we'll try to make the handling more consistent, and hopefully we can improve things for the repeated stages."
Andreas Mikkelsen [Ramsport Ford Focus WRC]:
[Speaking after SS6] “That's the worst stages I've ever been through. Still, it was good. Yes, I'm enjoying it. I was a little scared at the beginning of the stage, but I got through. I just couldn't see beyond the end of the front bumper.”
[Speaking in the mid-day service] “We had a puncture on SS2 and again on SS3. The car is new to me and I am finding it difficult to drive.”
Jan Kopecky [Czech RT Skoda Fabia WRC]:
[Speaking after SS6] “I'm glad to get out and back to service tonight. The weather is ruining everything.”
Mads Ostberg [Adapta Subaru Impreza WRC]:
[Speaking after SS6] “It's madness out there. You cannot see one metre in front of you.”
[Speaking in the mid-day service] “It was very rough in that first stage of the rally and in SS2 the car started to misfire and has been running rough ever since we came out of SS3. We're looking into it now at Service and hope to have the problem fixed.”
