Drivers' quotes after Cagliari SSS1
Car #48 - P. Andreucci / A. Andreussi: It is hard to say, I had some problems at the hairpin due to some gravel but it has been good fun. For me it's important to be here. I am very happy.

Car #79 - G. Linari / N. Arena: It is OK, it is very difficult in tight corners because we are in group N. But no problem.

Car #42 - N. Al-Attiyah / M. Baumel: It is all ok it is nice to be here with so many spectators, we are here to try and do our best.

Car #38 Yurii Protasov: It is good for us, we will see... we will drive fast and then we will see where we are.

Car #43 - E. Lappi / J.Ferm: Nice stage, very slippery but more or less OK, good fun also for the spectators. No problems with the car.

Car #31 - Y. Al Rajhi / M. Orr: I clouted the wall with the right rear.I hope the car is OK, the rally is still very long. I do not know much about the car let's hope it is OK.

Car #14 - R. Kubica / M. Szczepaniak:
I engaged reverse twice. I couldn't shift down, so I used the handbrake and that spun us around. The first lap was OK but then I lost it at the hairpin. Well that is what it is. We will see.

Car #21 - M. Prokop / J. Tomanek: It was a very nice stage, I hope we can get a good time. The car is perfect.

Car #37 - L. Bertelli / L. Granai: I had to do manoeuvre as I did not engage first with downshifting and I reversed by mistake. The real rally is gonna start tomorrow though so no problem.

Car #12 - K. Al Qassimi / C. Patterson:
First corner, we went quite wide and had an impact, we lost a couple of seconds. This gave us a little bit of shake but we are OK. Let's see.

Car #6 - O. Tanak / R. Molder: We had some problems with the handbrake at the hairpin. But we will see, let's hope that we will not have problems tomorrow.

Car #8 - D. Sordo / M. Marti: Everything is OK, it is a difficult stage, slippery in some places but the real rally starts tomorrow. Today we did not want to take too many risks.

Car #20 - H. Paddon / J. Kennard:
A nice way to start the rally, it is gonna be the smoothest stage of the rally! The real rally is going to start tomorrow though.

Car #5 - E. Evans / D. Barritt: It's difficult having to preserve the tyres for tomorrow but it's nice to be here.

Car #7 - T. Neuville / N. Gilsoul: I think with this start position we might have used the softs.Mikklesen's mix of hard and soft tyres might have given him the edge on this one

Car #9 - A. Mikkelsen / O. Floene: No risk, quite difficult in some places, very tight. We tried to get this Mickey Mouse stage out of the way.

Car #4 - M. Ostberg / J. Andersson: I tried to do my best.

Car #2 - JM. Latvala / M. Anttila: I tried not to do any mistakes, the rally is gonna start tomorrow. The fans are great here.

Car #1 - S. Ogier / J. Ingrassia: Tried to save the tyres for tomorrow, I lost a bit of time at the hairpin, some water was there. Trying a mix of softs and hard is the way to go. With our road position we have to try something.

Car #3 - K. Meeke / P.Nagle: Completely rubbish. I found some water, we lost a couple of seconds.
