Information
Date and time SS Information
28.07.2017 20:07 13 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I'm missing performance from the car. I was driving quite well apart from a couple of stages. To be honest I couldn't do more. Cleaning the road made it more difficult but definitely we don't have the speed.
28.07.2017 18:07 12 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We are pushing hard but the times are not what we want. There's not much we can do but continue. All is positive in terms of the championship. Tomorrow is a huge day. We might try some new damper settings tomorrow but there's not much to do. Top five would be a good result here.
28.07.2017 17:07 11 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The rhythm is good but I can't keep the rear in the line. Our car is just not performing enough. We are still far away. I'm doing my job.
28.07.2017 15:07 9 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It's okay. I try to drive fast but of course now I'm not taking the big risks. I think I'm driving well, but the times are a bit disappointing. I can't go much faster but we're not able to match the others.
28.07.2017 14:07 8 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): No grip, the road surface is so hard, I really struggled. Sliding a lot.
28.07.2017 11:07 7 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Good. I tried to push hard but obviously there was lots of gravel on the road now and the rear was sliding wide. We used every inch of the road. Our main contender [Ogier] now is out. We have to be in the top five this weekend. That's our goal.
28.07.2017 09:07 5 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It's ok but I'm not so happy with the car. It's moving too much up and down, it's not so nice. We try to improve. The earlier noise is okay now - just the sump guard touching.
28.07.2017 09:07 3 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I have the same feeling, not feeling much power. The ground is much more loose, taking power away. A better stage than before but I don't need to fight for the win here, It's the right pace for now.
28.07.2017 09:07 2 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I don't know. Maybe I was not committed enough. We have to go faster. We can go faster.
27.07.2017 20:07 1 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It's going to be a difficult event. The main thing is to enjoy it, stay in a close battle with Seb and finish ahead of him at the end.
