Information
Date and time SS Information
29.07.2017 18:07 21 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): In the ruts the car is working better. What is possible now I don't know. The target is top five. In a rut here I hit something and bent the steering.
29.07.2017 17:07 20 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The car is working when there is a lot of grip. I backed off a bit after I hit a stone in the narrow section. I thought we had a puncture.
29.07.2017 16:07 19 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We made some changes but the road conditions are much more grippy now and the car is working better. In the slippery stages we can still lose time. I enjoyed this one, it's probably the best stage in the world.
29.07.2017 15:07 18 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Much more grip on the stage so the car was working quite nicely, more driveable.
29.07.2017 12:07 16 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I can't drive like this. I am driving fast but I am on the maximum. The car is hitting the bump stops, bouncing back after the jumps. It makes it really difficult. Our car is working on all other the rallies, which is nice, but not Finland.
29.07.2017 12:07 15 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I was not driving very well in here. The car is moving around, hitting the bump stops on landings. I need to stiffen the setup.
29.07.2017 08:07 14 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The road positions is helping but we worked on the set-up, and tried everything, but we will be not competitive this weekend.
