Information
Date and time SS Information
24.04.2023 20:04 20 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know what to say. I am so disappointed for the team and for us after everything that happened. It's a tough moment, you know. We really wanted that victory - we wanted to make Craig proud - but we missed the opportunity. We gave it everything in here. This one was for Craig, so hopefully it's enough.
24.04.2023 20:04 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The feeling isn't great but we're going to push as hard as we can in the Power Stage. We have only five points that we can take from the weekend so we need to fight - but it won't be an easy test.
23.04.2023 08:04 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The road was quite clean and much drier than in the recce. We tried to enjoy the run through and confirm the pace notes for the Power Stage. We are going to try hard but I'm not sure we are going to be able to take a lot of points.
23.04.2023 07:04 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We are trying some different set-ups after yesterday and we're going to see.
22.04.2023 12:04 11 retired (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): accident in SS 11
22.04.2023 12:04 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): So far, okay. The road is getting more dirty and you don't know where. In the position we are, I need to try and fight the good battles. That's what I did here and I am happy with my run through.
22.04.2023 08:04 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Very dirty, but I like that stage. It has a huge rhythm and it's very fast. We had a couple of nice slides in there but everything is under control.
21.04.2023 18:04 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a bit better at the end of the day and I am really happy that we had a bit more fun in the car this afternoon. Hopefully we can finish in first place at the end - that would be a great achievement for the team and for us. We have done a decent job, but it hasn't been easy at all.
21.04.2023 18:04 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It felt like the first real nice stage of the day and I had full confidence in the car. We changed a few damper clicks and it felt better, but also the profile is different. Elfyn is pushing and tomorrow will be a huge day as well.
21.04.2023 16:04 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We didn't know what the stage would be like, so we had to guess a bit. I guess Séb was on three softs and one hard which would have been the best choice for this one, but we did the best we could with what we had.
21.04.2023 16:04 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I felt a bit better in the car but we have two softs on the rear and the car was moving quite a lot. The weather is very unstable this afternoon so we have to see, but I did what I could.
21.04.2023 11:04 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's hard. We are trying different set-ups all the time but I just don't get the right thing. It's very similar to Monte-Carlo where the chassis is moving a lot, and it makes the car very nervous. When it's a bit faster I am struggling to control the car.
21.04.2023 11:04 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We are more or less able to follow the times, but I feel like if we had a better car on Tarmac we would be much faster. I could go so much faster but the car just doesn't let me.
21.04.2023 09:04 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): In a chicane I hit the bale and I immediately slowed down. Many, many surprises. We will keep going but if it's going to be tricky like this and hard to drive the car like this all weekend, it wont be easy.
21.04.2023 08:04 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Tough. I was fighting the car through the whole stage. I had a big job to do in that stage. I was kicked around all the time - not easy.
