Driver Quotes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Norihiko KATSUTA<\/strong>
\u201cI don\u2019t know. When I put it into first gear, it was second gear when I started for some reason. I have no idea what happened there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kalle ROVANPER\u00c4<\/strong>
\u201cThat was a really really difficult stage. I don\u2019t want to do that again. Obviously we had a lot of rain in the stage and if the weather gets better the water will be less for the others. Let\u2019s hope they don\u2019t get much better conditions as there won\u2019t be much more I can do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gr\u00e9goire MUNSTER<\/strong>
\u201cI just want to get a top five for the team you know. It has been a tricky season and I just want a good result. The limit between taking the risk to achieve it and bin it is very marginal, I’m trying my best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ott T\u00c4NAK<\/strong>
\u201cIt was raining still quite heavy in the beginning and there was more aquaplaning than before. It was a very tricky stage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sami PAJARI<\/strong>
\u201cIt was not so nice. It is quite a challenge. If you push you can create more temperature [in the tyres] and a bit more grip but still it is quite far away from the concert zone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elfyn EVANS<\/strong>
\u201cIt is tricky in there, tricky as hell. I was not ok at the start I was probably a bit tentative toward the end but ok.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

S\u00e9bastien OGIER<\/strong>
\u201cIt was a good stage, less water than this morning when I think it was bad to start at the back with the rain. Now it was the opposite.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oliver SOLBERG<\/strong>
\u201cMaybe it was better for [Seb] but in WRC2 we are not allowed any more tyres so we have two very bad used tyres and when there is a lot of water it is not great. I took it easy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alejandro CACH\u00d3N<\/strong>
\u201cI tried to not make any mistakes but it is crazy. You are aquaplaning in a lot of places when the speed is high. I tired to be my best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nikolay GRYAZIN<\/strong>
\u201cIt is difficult. I\u2019m trying to be smooth and easy but already on this pace we had a few moments but no drama. I hit a soft bank. It is impossible, it is really slippery.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jan SOLANS<\/strong>
\u201cI was trying at least but in a narrow, tricky and slow place I did a stupid spin and then we were blocked. I don\u2019t know how many minutes we lost.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":2425,"parent":0,"template":"","cat_news":[2],"tag_news":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/2422"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/2422\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2429,"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/2422\/revisions\/2429"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cat_news","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cat_news?post=2422"},{"taxonomy":"tag_news","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tag_news?post=2422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
