Information
Date and time SS Information
24.04.2023 20:04 20 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): I think we can take some positives about this rally. Unfortunately today we had some problem with the engine and after that I hit something with the steering. I think we just need some more consistency and the pace can be there sometimes.
24.04.2023 20:04 19 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): The direction of my steering is completely bent so I am being very careful. We have nothing to play for and with a feeling like that I just want to go through.
23.04.2023 08:04 18 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): Now the steering is completely bent. I hit something at the end of the stage.
23.04.2023 07:04 17 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): We have no stage mode... we will see if we can fix it.
22.04.2023 20:04 16 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): I am a bit surprised by the time. I am very slow, so it's difficult to understand. I have to see what I am doing wrong.
22.04.2023 18:04 15 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): It wasn't working at all unfortunately. I couldn't maintain the temperature in the tyres and there was no grip.
22.04.2023 17:04 14 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): The rear of the car moving around and it was very tricky, but okay, we are through.
22.04.2023 17:04 13 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was much better this afternoon but I did one mistake in the first split - I went off the line in the dust and ran a bit wide.
22.04.2023 12:04 12 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): It's not so much about the race. I was struggling in the fast sections with the softs on the rear and I did not have so much confidence. Hopefully the second loop will be better.
22.04.2023 12:04 11 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): I was too careful. I thought the conditions would be worse and I didn't take the risks.
22.04.2023 12:04 10 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): Maybe I overheated the rear tyre in the last stage and in the last split it felt like I lost a lot of grip. In this one I was quite aggressive, but not a perfect run.
22.04.2023 08:04 9 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): No mistake, I think I just had a puncture or something is broken on the car. I don't know.
21.04.2023 18:04 8 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): I was on hard tyres on the front and the car was very tricky to drive. I think we lost the hybrid and we have a delaminated rear-left tyre or something like that.
21.04.2023 18:04 7 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): I have no more tyres, so I had to manage with it. It was a bit like dancing sometimes - not easy.
21.04.2023 16:04 6 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was not working unfortunately. It wasn't the choice to do but if there is something try you try it.
21.04.2023 16:04 5 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): It's okay, but tricky.
21.04.2023 11:04 4 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): It wasn't the easiest morning. Conditions are tricky so we tried to do some good runs, but with the cuts and all of these things it's difficult to have a lot of commitment.
21.04.2023 11:04 3 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): The conditions are very difficult. Sometimes you have grip and sometimes you don't. I don't want to do a mistake.
21.04.2023 09:04 2 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): Tricky. The conditions weren't so easy so we tried to do an okay run.
21.04.2023 08:04 1 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): Quite tricky. I struggled a bit and it was more dirty than expected.
