Date and time SS Information
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.
