Information
Date and time SS Information
21.08.2022 15:08 20 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Unfortunately I had some transmission issue - the gears were jumping from second to fourth and I had to downshift many times. It was good to see the speed was there and the car was somehow working quite okay. Not where we want to be, but it's going in the right direction and that's positive. Unfortunately we couldn't get the result we wanted but we had some fun for the spectators.
21.08.2022 12:08 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We are trying to save the tyres a bit. Hopefully it's helping us for the next stage and we can at least get some points from the weekend.
21.08.2022 12:08 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): There were a few corners we could do better, but it's only the first pass through and there are quite a lot of grip changes. I enjoyed it - after yesterday, it's good to have a bit of a smile when you are driving.
21.08.2022 12:08 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a huge disappointment yesterday, so today I am just driving through and trying a few settings on the car.
20.08.2022 22:08 15 retired (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): accident in SS 15
20.08.2022 22:08 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was like the first pass for me obviously, so I was discovering the stage. I felt I was a bit cautious but our gravel crew told us it was very dirty. Now we know more or less where we have to be careful on the suspension side. There is still a bit of room for improvement but we will stay like this - it's fine.
20.08.2022 22:08 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a clean run. I don't really like this stage so I am too careful in the cuts all the time. I am trying to avoid the punctures and be nice and tidy - it seemed to work.
20.08.2022 22:08 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am not really sure if Ott has problems. I think if Ott has problems then I have only three cylinders! Of course, we want to fight for victory and I had to give it a go. We are getting a bit better with the car but I feel like there is some more in it - we just need to find it.
20.08.2022 22:08 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's okay but the car is a bit nervous. Somehow the time is not so bad so we must be satisfied with it.
20.08.2022 22:08 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was quite a tricky one to start. It was quite dirty in places and I was a bit careful. The feeling in the car is good, so that's the main thing.
19.08.2022 18:08 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's been a whole different afternoon in terms of the handling with the car. I am much happier now. I feel like I have seen some areas where we can improve and get a bit more speed, but with this afternoon we can be very happy. Our weather team has done an amazing job with some very precise information and I have felt confident to trust their predictions. That's very important on a day like this.
19.08.2022 17:08 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Like I said this morning, I was really uncomfortable in the car. It's getting better now, but it was getting interesting in there when the raindrops started to fall. I thought we would lose a bit but we managed.
19.08.2022 16:08 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had a clean run but I am still fighting in the bumpy sections to get the balance between the front and the rear. It's still moving a lot and not where I want it to be.
19.08.2022 16:08 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a mix of tyre choice for this afternoon's loop. The weather is changing constantly as you can see. We were hesitating to even take the rain jacket, so it could be worse, but we are going to find out.
19.08.2022 13:08 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's so different compared to last year and I am struggling so much to find the confidence. We are going to work a bit on the setup now and see what we can do for the afternoon loop, but I don't feel good in the car at the moment.
19.08.2022 13:08 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had a clean stage but on a junction we were a bit sideways. I am fighting with the car at the moment and compared to last year it's not enjoyable. I have a lot of diff openings and the wheels are locking under braking - you can not judge where to brake.
19.08.2022 12:08 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I do not feel comfortable at all at the moment. This stage is bumpy and I had no confidence. I had a clean run through without pushing, but we need to work on the car.
19.08.2022 12:08 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Already the road is getting quite dirty and I went straight on in the braking, so I had to turn around. There was zero, zero grip.
