Sébastien Loeb/Daniel Elena
"It was OK. I pushed hard. The conditions are not too bad and I don’t feel like I’m cleaning the road."

Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia
"Too much safety." Still, Ogier lost only one second to Loeb.

Mikko Hirvonen/Jarmo Lehtinen
"It could have been better but a good start anyway. The smaller road gets a bit soft now so it could be better to be first on the road."

Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila
Latvala got out of the car immediately to check the front. "I jumped a bit too high. I tend to do that every year here. I just wanted to check that the car is OK."

Petter Solberg/Chris Patterson
"It was good. I took it quite smartly and tried not to be crazy in the morning. I’ve got a good feeling. We have to take it step by step."

Dani Sordo/Marc Marti
"I’m really happy with the car; it’s better than yesterday. I’m getting more confidence."

Henning Solberg/Ilka Minor
"It’s been a long time since I’ve been driving but I’m happy with my time. I’m going flat out."

Mads Östberg/ Jonas Andersson
"I was a bit too nervous and couldn’t find the correct pace."

Khalid Al Qassimi/Michael Orr
"It was quite interesting. I could have braked a bit later at some points."

Juha Kankkunen/Juha Repo
"The car is nice and the feeling is good. It’s no use trying any circus tricks here. The difference between today’s cars and the cars eight years ago is like day and night."

Jouni Arolainen/Seppo Kopra
"The engine overheated and stopped. I guess it’s over now. We enjoyed it as long as we could."

Jari Ketomaa/Mika Stenberg
"Unbelievable! So many spectators out there. The car is great; the team has done a tremendous job. Even the WRC guys didn’t cut corners quite like we did."

Michal Kosciuszko/Maciek Szczepaniak
"We try to stay on the road and not to make any mistakes."

Janne Tuohino/Marko Sallinen
"We had electrical problems even though we changed the ECU yesterday. The car stopped twice on the stage."

Juho Hänninen/Mikko Markkula
"It was quite slippery. You have to take smooth lines."

Matti Rantanen/Mikko Lukka
"I missed a gear a few times. I’m not used to the gearbox on this car yet."
