Countdown to: Rally Chile

P4 in Paraguay 🇵🇾

It hasn’t been the ideal weekend, it was a good start on Friday but of course we didn’t play the right lottery numbers with the tyres and that’s where the difference was made.

We lacked some pace to be able to fight with Adrien and I was a little conservative and didn’t take enough risk maybe. After a tough weekend, it was good to score some points today.

Congratulations to Sami and Marko on another win! 🏆

We’ll prepare as best we can for Chile, and give it our all 👊🏻

We hold on to P3 overnight in Paraguay 🇵🇾

Adrien has had a strong day, but losing so much time on tonight’s super special wasn’t part of the plan.

Tomorrow’s conditions are set to be difficult. When it rains here, the grip changes completely, so it’ll be about surviving and getting through as best we can.

There’s a lot to fight for, and we’ll do the best job we can 👊🏼

Who’d have thought it would be beach weather today? 😅🏖️☀️

We were prepared for full wet conditions this morning, but the rain never arrived!
It’s been an ok morning overall and we started reasonably well, although perhaps I’ve been a little too cautious through some of the loose, rockier sections.

We’ll keep going and see what the afternoon brings 👊🏼

A dramatic day 🇵🇾

Of course, we’re disappointed to have dropped time this afternoon with a tyre delamination, but there are very few crews who haven’t had their fair share of drama or punctures today.

Tomorrow could bring a different challenge with rain in the forecast. A lot has happened already, but there’s still a long way to go 👊🏼

Friday morning done in Paraguay 🇵🇾

It’s been a fairly clean morning loop from our side, although we suffered a delaminating tyre with around 14km to go on SS3.

Other than that, it’s been reasonably drama free. The conditions have been a bit more aggressive than perhaps everyone anticipated, so getting through cleanly was important.

The roads will be even rougher this afternoon, and looking after everything will be key. We’ll do what we can and see what the afternoon brings 👊🏼

Shakedown done here in Paraguay 🇵🇾

It looks like it could be a tough weekend. We can expect a bit of everything, especially with rain forecast for later in the rally!

It’s going to be a challenge, but we’ll knuckle down and do the best we can. Looking forward to getting started tomorrow 👊🏼

P3 in Finland after a wild weekend! 🥉🇫🇮

From opening the road on Friday, to the thunderstorms, the windscreen misting up and then rolling the car on Saturday lunchtime, it’s certainly been an eventful one 😅

First of all, a huge thank you to the spectators who helped us out of the ditch after the roll, and to the team for their incredible work to repair the car and give us the chance to continue fighting.
To finish on the podium after everything that happened feels like a miracle result, so we have to be happy with that.
It wasn’t the perfect Sunday, but we still scored some valuable points. Overall, we have to consider ourselves lucky and happy with how the weekend turned out.

Congratulations to @samipajar1 and @salminenmarko on a very special home victory, and to the whole team @tgr_wrc on another incredible 1-2-3! 🏆

What a day! 🎢

We had a great start this morning and were in a fight with Seb and Sami, but I made a mistake on the final stage of the loop, just a few corners from the end. My pace note was slightly optimistic, the corner was more slippery than expected and we ran wide into a ditch. Thankfully, the damage wasn’t too bad and, with the help of the fans, we managed to get the car back on the road.

A huge thank you to everyone at @tgr_wrc for their incredible work during midday service 🙌🏼 Their efforts gave us the chance to continue fighting.

The afternoon was all about trying to claw our way back. We drove as cleanly as we could, and that was enough to gain a position. We have to be relatively happy with the afternoon, although naturally we’re disappointed with the day as a whole.

There’s still plenty to fight for tomorrow with a proper Super Sunday ahead, and we’re looking forward to it 👊🏼

We are also sending our best wishes to @sebogier and @julien_ingrassia_official and wishing them both a full recovery 🙏🏼

What a Friday in Finland! 😅🇫🇮

It’s been a day of two halves. We had an ok morning and struggled a little with the road position, but it wasn’t too bad. This afternoon was then a complete lottery with the rain.
On the second stage of the loop, we benefited when the rain came for everybody behind us, but on the next one it was almost the complete opposite. We had a torrential downpour two minutes before the start, and at times I could barely see anything - there was almost as much water coming through the vent and onto my face as there was on the windscreen!

I think we’ve come out of the day pretty well, all things considered.
Looking forward to tomorrow 👊🏼
