13.11.2022 12:11 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It feels great! It wasn't an easy weekend or an easy year, but to end with a victory and showing a good speed all weekend is a great way to end the season. Our weather guys did an incredible job this weekend so thanks to them and thanks to everybody.
13.11.2022 04:11 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): That was a tough one. I knew I couldn't make any mistakes and I took it quite steady. We had a lot of heavy rain at some points and it was full aquaplaning everywhere. We did what we had to do.
13.11.2022 01:11 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a challenging stage in there and I wasn't sure I had done enough. The time is good so I'm happy with that. It's a relief but it's a shame for Elfyn as well. The fight was enjoyable and now it's over, but we still need to be careful.
13.11.2022 00:11 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I'm not surprised. With the two softs on the rear, we know we're going to lose some time in the upcoming stages. Once the rain comes, with the wet tyres we should be much quicker. I am relying on the information of the team and according to that there will be a lot of rain.
12.11.2022 16:11 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was actually not a very good run. I did a good stage but I had some real trouble with the diff spin. Luckily it was the last proper stage of the day and we only have two Mickey Mouse ones left.
12.11.2022 16:11 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was OK, in the very narrow I struggled a bit on the confidence. I don’t want to make the car slide too much because you lose too much time on the exit.
12.11.2022 02:11 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know. On the recce we had to do 60kph which is very slow, and my pace notes are related on speed. There is also a metal plate which came off the road and it's in the middle of the road.
12.11.2022 00:11 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay - the first clean, smooth stage I've had. It's getting a bit dirty towards the end so maybe I was a bit cautious in there. I had a good run through.
11.11.2022 23:11 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I tried. I had quite an okay stage but in the very narrow sections I have too much information in my pace notes and it was very difficult to keep concentrated. I did what I could.
11.11.2022 12:11 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's getting more and more full of leaves. You can't see the road and you don't know what the grip is like underneath them. I struggled in there because I don't want to do a mistake. We are in a good position and we are staying in the fight.
11.11.2022 12:11 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a clean run. I'm enjoying the car a bit more now and we have a better balance. It's quite tricky with the visibility and I struggled a bit, but I think for everybody it's the same.
11.11.2022 02:11 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I struggled a bit. The visibility is so bad with the sun and the trees and I have no confidence in the front with lots of grip changes. Very tough but we are here.
10.11.2022 23:11 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It didn't feel great to be honest. I was understeering quite a lot and towards the end my pace notes were too conservative. Plenty of surprises in there and it was getting quite dirty as well. That's all we could do.
10.11.2022 12:11 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The motivation is always there, that's not a problem. It's the end of the season and we want to end on a high. We want to enjoy it as well - I think that's important. So let's do the job.
