Countdown to: Italia Sardegna

I’m very disappointed after picking up that puncture today. I’ve no idea where it happened, but it was very costly in terms of points. Otherwise, I felt we did everything we could, so it’s naturally disappointing to finish this way.

A huge congratulations to everyone at @tgr_wrc on securing the manufacturers’ title. It’s an incredible achievement by the whole team, and I’m very proud to be a part of it!

We’ll regroup and come back fighting in Sardinia 👊🏼

Saturday done in Chile 🇨🇱

It’s been an ok day overall. We had a reasonably good rhythm, although perhaps we were a little too conservative with the tyres at times and that didn’t pay off as well as we’d hoped.

We’re still going and there’s a big day ahead tomorrow. We’ll focus on what’s left and give it everything on Super Sunday 👊🏼

P2 overnight in Chile 🇨🇱

It’s been an ok day overall. We made a good start in tricky conditions this morning, while this afternoon wasn’t quite as satisfying and we gave away some time to the guys behind. But it was a clean day and second is a good place to be heading into tomorrow.

Tomorrow’s stages are very abrasive and looking after the tyres will be key. Let’s see what’s possible 👊🏼

Happy to see the rain! 🌧️🇨🇱

The mixed conditions made the driving quite tricky this morning, but it was nice to be on a more level playing field from being first on the road.

It’ll be interesting to see how the stages evolve for the afternoon loop. Let’s see what we can do 👊🏼

#EE33 #RallyChile #ToyotaGAZOORacing

Set for the challenge of Chile ��🇨🇱

Recce and shakedown are done! Friday’s stages are fast, narrow and looking very loose, while Saturday will bring wider, more flowing roads that could be tough on the tyres. We’ll have to see what the weather brings.

Although some sections are familiar, many are running in the opposite direction, so the pace notes are all new.

Our focus is on doing the best job we can and bringing home some good points 👊🏼

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 👊🏻

#EE33 #RallydelParaguay #ToyotaGAZOORacing

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 👊🏼

#EE33 #RallydelParaguay #ToyotaGAZOORacing

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 👊🏼

#EE33 #RallydelParaguay #ToyotaGAZOORacing

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 👊🏼

#EE33 #RallydelParaguay #ToyotaGAZOORacing

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 👊🏼

#EE33 #RallydelParaguay #ToyotaGAZOORacing

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 👊🏼

#EE33 #RallydelParaguay #ToyotaGAZOORacing

Not a bad way to arrive in Paraguay! 🇵🇾

Good fun riding through Encarnación in this classic Toyota, with an incredible welcome from all the fans.

We are ready for the red roads of Paraguay, with shakedown kicking off soon 👊🏼
