Information
Date and time SS Information
19.04.2014 17:04 18 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): Happy with that, we have learned a lot this weekend. The car has been great, everything has gone really well and there is more to come. We are doing Ypres for sure.
19.04.2014 16:04 17 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): We were so lucky in there, we clipped something in a ditch and I though that has got to puncture, I was just waiting for the place when it was going down. I have never hit anything as hard as that and got away with it.
19.04.2014 15:04 16 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): I loved it, every minute of it. Quite tricky towards the end, quite a bit of gravel.
19.04.2014 13:04 15 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): It was better that time, there are so many kerbs, you just have to be careful.
19.04.2014 12:04 14 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): A lot of spectators in there, it is great to get all the spectators close to the rallying.
19.04.2014 11:04 13 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): I am feeling a lot more confident now, the notes are flowing a lot better. The tyres were working really well in there. We set out to use this rally as a learning exercise for me and the team.
19.04.2014 10:04 12 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): That was great stage, wow. Long, long, there is everything in there. I am glad the sun is shining today.
19.04.2014 09:04 11 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): It was a great stage, I really enjoyed it, some gravel in places, it was quite slippy in places. We are learning still and we don't want to take any risks.
18.04.2014 20:04 10 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): We loved every minute, we learned a lot today. The pace on this rally is unbelieveable. These guys were in short pants last time I was in rallying. Really looking forward to tomorrow.
18.04.2014 19:04 9 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): We had a heavy landing on the previous stage, it has made a funny vibration, I think the engine may be touching the sump guard. I have had a look and I think it is okay. This car is fantastic, it will stand it.
18.04.2014 19:04 8 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): I'm ok, I feel the notes worked as well as they should but we are still here. Maybe need to work on the notes a litte bit or maybe the bravery.
18.04.2014 18:04 7 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): I love every kilometre of it. We had a big jump in there, we had a great time in there. This rally is full of surprises, there is always something to catch you out.
18.04.2014 17:04 6 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): There are little bits of cars lying everywhere on this stage. We are learning and bedding ourselves into this car. We made some changes in service and it was really good.
18.04.2014 14:04 5 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): Tough stages, but really enjoyable. We are going to make a couple of changes to the car, just make it a little bit stiffer on the front so I can turn in a bit quicker.
18.04.2014 13:04 4 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): We are really enjoying it, not sure what the times are like but it is good to be back. We will make a few changes to the setup in service.
18.04.2014 12:04 3 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): We are enjoying it, it was awsome. A lot of big jumps, I am not as brave as I use to be, we slowed down a bit.
18.04.2014 11:04 2 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): I enjoyed that so much. We are learning after being out of the car for so long.
18.04.2014 10:04 1 flash info (8 - Simpson Neil / Mole Claire): I enjoyed stage very much. We didnt get much time in testin due to problems with engine, but I enjoyed it.
