Information
Date and time SS Information
25.10.2015 12:10 23 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We can't fix it. We had to finish and take the maximum points for the championship. We are quite unlucky. I don't know what will happen with Paddon. I just have to bring back the car with the problem we have.
25.10.2015 12:10 23 (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): problems with driveshaft
25.10.2015 11:10 22 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The transmission broke under braking. When I came on the throttle we went off. I tried to get it back. We will try to finish like this. We will see.
25.10.2015 11:10 22 (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): was out of road
25.10.2015 11:10 21 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I'm making little changes to the set-up all the time. I feel quite good in the car now. Still more to come for sure but going in the right direction.
25.10.2015 10:10 20 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I tried to do a good stage but it's not easy to drive the car in this one. My pace notes were ok but I was not committing in the tight corners.
25.10.2015 15:10 19 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): A little mistake near the beginning and I spun the car. I put a new tyre on the front and locked the wheel under braking, maybe the tyre wasn't warm. After that maybe I didn't commit enough. We will continue.
25.10.2015 15:10 18 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We will try. The points are important in the championship fight for Hyundai.
25.10.2015 01:10 17 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We are all fighting hard. I struggle a bit with the settings through the day. Everybody is pushing, it is nice. We have to try, it is just about the confidence and the pace notes through the first pass.
25.10.2015 00:10 16 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): When you ignore the Volkswagens not so bad. The balance of the car is better now.
25.10.2015 00:10 15 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I try to work on the settings all the time. I think we are going in the right way. We have stiffened the set-up to try and find more lateral grip.
25.10.2015 14:10 14 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I enjoyed a lot. The car is working ok but I'm sliding too much. I think the tyres are getting too hot. That's when we lose the consistency.
24.10.2015 12:10 12 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We make some changes on the car and we go the right way.
24.10.2015 12:10 11 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I hit the barrier. (still has problems with understeer)
24.10.2015 11:10 10 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Not really happy, understeering in the very tight corners.
23.10.2015 17:10 9 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We had a strange feeling in the last 5km but overall it was not such a bad day. We have to say thanks to the organisers for the three minutes gaps to reduce the dust.
23.10.2015 16:10 8 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was ok, a bit more confidence. Working in the right way now. Maybe not the best tyre management this afternoon. I have one badly worn on the front. Maybe six tyres would have been a better idea.
23.10.2015 16:10 7 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We work a bit on the ride height, but the grip is better now. I struggle with the differential on the rear, I cannot change the pre-load, it feels like it is pushing from the rear.
23.10.2015 15:10 6 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): This stage was ok, the car is working a bit better in the slippery conditions. I thought the turbo pipe was gone, no power just for a few seconds then the power came back. Towards the end of the stage it was working properly again, we will have to investigate.
23.10.2015 12:10 5 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I stalled the car twice and the car was way too low. I feel I have broken the car, it was bottoming all the time. Horrible.
23.10.2015 12:10 4 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Not so bad, I think Mads is faster. I am quite happy with my time, it is ok. We have the good tyres for the next stage.
23.10.2015 11:10 3 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The beginning of the stage was not so good, the end was better. We are moving a bit too much in the suspension. At the beginning of the stage it was quite slippy and when you make one mistake you lose the confidence.
23.10.2015 10:10 2 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Mads was very quick. For me it was ok, but we are too soft at the rear, there is too much movement. We have to adjust the settings a bit.
22.10.2015 20:10 1 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I had two soft and two hard tyres, split left and right, but I had a problem with the handbrake and locked the wheels a couple of times. I think the guys behind will be quicker.
