Información
Fecha y hora TC Información
27.10.2013 15:10 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): More points, another finish, so that is good. I think we struggle with the setup on the tarmac and we lost the rally there.
27.10.2013 14:10 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I think Sordo rolled the car, I do not know exactly, he was out of the car. My stage was ok, I try to save the tyres at the end. After seeing Sordo had stopped, I raced on without taking any risks. I’m challenging for a podium place, but there’s still one special stage to go. I struggle with the rear of the car, we have to make some adjustments.
27.10.2013 13:10 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): You can see now, we checked the pacenotes this morning all is fine. Made some small changes, the car is working good now, the differential as well, more traction.
27.10.2013 11:10 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was ok, but I think we broke the differential or something, we have wheel spin in 4th and 5th gear. Otherwise my driving was okay, but we have a lot to improve.
27.10.2013 10:10 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): You cannot see nothing, it is so dangerous, you cannot see nothing, it is very very dangerous. It should not be like this. We punctured. I don’t know where I punctured. I got the sun in my face and the dust when I went into a 6th gear corner, and it was really complicated.
27.10.2013 10:10 11 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): puncture
26.10.2013 08:10 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It is getting more and more dust, I made a few small mistakes as I could not see the road. I arrive some places too fast and could not see the line. My time is good, but I’m not totally satisfied. The stage was quite clean, but I was careful in the racing lines, especially in the tighter corners, because I was afraid of going off the road.
26.10.2013 18:10 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Its all about the settings and when I find it we have the usual rhythm. We must analyse, maybe we can catch Sordo, it will be a nice fight. We must see Sordo on the gravel, I expect him to be quick tomorrow.
26.10.2013 12:10 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Compared to this morning it is completely different. I feel comfortable and I can drive usually. I have less understeer and confidence that the car will turn. Now it works. We found the perfect configuration, I’m going flat out. I’ll be starting from a good position tomorrow. I’ll try to challenge Latvala and Sordo.
26.10.2013 11:10 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Now it is not understeering. I really enjoyed now, the feeling is completely different. We just sorted out. I lost a bit in the beginning, but then after I just continue, we had to save the tyres and the brakes as well. Quite difficult stages, we cannot push too much or we will not finish...
26.10.2013 10:10 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I intend to push as much as I can. The car is working smoothly, I hope it will continue like that tomorrow on gravel.
26.10.2013 09:10 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I am pushing to the maximum, but there is nothing I can do for the moment. I am on the limit with the feeling I have for the moment. I feel like I am doing well, but we must work on the settings, there is something strange. I have no idea for the moment. I am on the maximum, I cannot do more.
26.10.2013 08:10 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I am sliding everywhere, there is no traction. I had a big push in this stage but it is not going. I just push but it is not working.
25.10.2013 23:10 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We changed a bit the settings, it is not working really. Sometimes I am struggling with understeer, I do not know why, it is strange. It was difficult for us, first time here in the dark. I think we can be happy.
25.10.2013 22:10 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It is not working at all, I have done it once before in 2009 but not in WRC car. They all know the stage quite well, I struggle in the dark, I struggle with the settings, I cannot do more.
25.10.2013 20:10 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I had no rhythm, car was understeering a lot. There was some humidity, I had a moment when I saw the humidity and locked up. Rain is just falling down now, but we could do better.
