Information
Date and time SS Information
28.07.2017 20:07 13 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I just didn't feel that I can push today. I just don't have the feeling to commit.
28.07.2017 18:07 12 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Not so nice with the damaged steering. I just don't feel confident with wheel at the wrong angle in my hands.
28.07.2017 17:07 11 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I touched a big stone and the steering is bent. The steering wheel is at an odd angle now. That's our loop over, we will just nurse the car through.
28.07.2017 15:07 9 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I can't trust the grip and when you start to hesitate it quickly unravels. What can I do? I don't know. What I can't do is put it in the trees.
28.07.2017 14:07 8 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I struggled in here a lot. Just couldn't feel the grip, and when you start hesitating it gets worse. That's down to me, but once you do that it's over.
28.07.2017 11:07 7 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I can't place the car like I want to. I just can't do the right thing. Okay, we have to get back to service and see what we can do.
28.07.2017 09:07 5 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Just when you want to give a bit of energy, it [the car] doesn't give it back. This stage had a different nature. I'm still trying to figure things out.
28.07.2017 09:07 4 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): It felt really uncomfortable with the car in there - on the wide wide especially. I can't get the feeling I had last year.
28.07.2017 09:07 3 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I last drove this stage seven or eight years ago so I have very little knowledge of it. You really need to get your speed right. I knew halfway through I didn't have the confidence.
28.07.2017 09:07 2 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Yeah, by just a few tenths. On this rally it will be tenths separating everyone. It's going to be a long day - we'll have to be on it. No road cleaning, humid all the way through. Normal.
27.07.2017 19:07 1 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): This is a difficult street stage where you don't want to make a mistake. For sure others will be faster, but it's more important not to lose time here.
