Information
Date and time SS Information
29.07.2018 22:07 11 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): That damage must be from this morning. They did a great job at mid-day service. We tried to do the best we could with the conditions on the road.
29.07.2018 21:07 10 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It's not much to do, it's lot about road position. We struggled with grip and consistency in the car, there's not much I can do.
29.07.2018 21:07 9 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I can't be happy about the position, but we knew from the beginning it was going to be tough. Being first on the road has been a disaster but I can't do more than that.
29.07.2018 20:07 8 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The situation is not so bad actually because Ogier is only two positions ahead of us. We have to do our best and keep the car on the road.
29.07.2018 20:07 7 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was ok, much better conditions than in the first pass, it was much more enjoyable. In these conditions the car is definitely working better.
29.07.2018 19:07 6 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I try, but it is not working. A lot of loose, especially in the first pass being first on the road. Towards the end it felt like I was at the maximum. The rain wouldn't change anything.
29.07.2018 19:07 5 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I went off on this one, I made a mistake. It was a pace note that was too optimistic. I was thinking about changing it but I then didn't hear the next one.
28.07.2018 11:07 5 (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): was out of road
29.07.2018 18:07 4 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We are doing our best but the conditions are very loose and I can't do any more to be honest. The car is not behaving as it should. We focus on our main goal of keeping in touch with Seb and finishing ahead of him at the end of the weekend.
26.07.2018 19:07 1 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It is going to be a close fight this weekend, I was careful through this stage. I'm hoping the improvements mean we are going to be faster this year than last. We'll have to see what happens this weekend, we are in a championship battle and I don't want to take risks.
