No.2 (Holowzyc): This is a completely new SS, in the opposite direction. Snowbank is now on the opposite side, you have to be very accurate. Besides, we are openning the route, it snowed a little, the road is slippery, we go very cautiously.
No.1 (Gadasin): We made a mistake in one place. Lost about one minute. And overall it's is ok.
No.8 (Zheludov): It feels like the car became heavier, it's because the snow is more loose today. And generally it's all right.
No.5 (Mironenko): We speeded ahead! We drive in a very mode.
No.6 (Soloviev): Good driving.Visibility is not very good in such weather. We recorded the turns for the next lap.
No.7 (Novitsky): I'm mostly struggling with the car, getting used to it. We progress faster than yesterday. Trying to speed up gradually. No.10 (Matos): Everything is ok, we are driving and trying to keep the car. Learning reverse route
No.16 (Cherednikov): It was difficult to drive. Yesterday's rut makes difficult to turn. It's warmer and more slippery today. I hope that our result is not bad.
No4 (Szalay): A car crashed in front of us, we lost time while we were driving round it. Yesterday the surface was better, snow is loose. But visibility is better.
No.18 (Terentjev): We were driving stable. Yesterday we lost a wheel at 100 km/h. We hope to finish.
No.17 (Melnikov): Better than yesterday. The road is more difficult, many hillocks. Today we were more attentive than yesterday. No.11 (Volikov): The road is getting bumpy little by little. Hollows deepen. Yet overall we go normally.
No.332 (Vilcans): Ruts are slightly deeper, overtaking is more difficult, the road is narrow. We were standing for 7 minutes.
No.3 (Varentsov): The engine cut out, maybe because of bumps. Repaired, going on.
No.331 (Nikolaev): The route is beautiful. If you don't get crazy, driving is ok.
No.333 (Sokolov): Totally different from yesterday. The road is worn-down. Will slow down. Krupnov (co-driver): The car jumps out of ruts.
No.329 (Baranenko): Most efforts are spent on driving on forest sections, in ruts, the car is thrown out of it on jumps. Have to recline against snowbank very cautiously. Speed sections are good, rally-style. Tyres heat up in ruts and after it works badly on speed sections. Our car was prepared for Dakar and probably it is not suitable for this race. If on Dakar you can rest, then here almost not a minute for it. But it is very beautiful here. I like it. No.346 (Schekin): The rally is diverse, but the route is somewhat narrow. Overall, good impressions. No.330 (Rudskoy): The road conditions vary. Loose snow, mist and sleet. |
