Information
Date and time SS Information
14.05.2023 15:05 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): That's obviously what rallying is all about - ups and downs. It's one of the most cruel sports in the world and sometimes we have to face situations like this. I want to give a big applause to the organisers, they have done an incredible job, and the spectators as well.
14.05.2023 11:05 18 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): power issues
14.05.2023 10:05 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We have no power. Last night I had power, now I have nothing. There's not much to say.
14.05.2023 09:05 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's over. It's something similar to yesterday evening... we have to find out.
14.05.2023 09:05 16 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): problems with turbo
13.05.2023 20:05 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I was not on a good tyre strategy this afternoon but we had good fun. When it's such a crowd it's so enjoyable and just a great show. That's what we love.
13.05.2023 19:05 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am trying all the time and sometimes it works, sometimes not. I miss a lot of confidence when it's slippery. When it's a bit rougher I can push more but I am missing confidence in the car - we are getting shaken around a lot.
13.05.2023 16:05 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage - I can be satisfied. It's more rutted now so it's a bit more easy to keep the car in the line.
13.05.2023 11:05 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a push, for sure. We did a big change on the set-up which was a little bit better but every time the rear goes wide. I just cannot commit on the entry of corners without having a moment on the exit.
13.05.2023 10:05 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I did what I could but the car is all over the place. I had a good push but I can't control it.
13.05.2023 10:05 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Not a very good feeling to be honest. I don't trust the grip and I don't trust the rear of the car. I am very often at full lock and just losing time with no traction.
13.05.2023 10:05 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's okay. Everything didn't work out to plan today and sometimes the feeling wasn't there. I just couldn't push more - I would have tried but it wasn't possible, otherwise we would probably have been off the road. I have to keep it calm at the moment and we are going to do some changes which should hopefully help us to be able to push more.
13.05.2023 10:05 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I have never done this stage in its entire length in proper conditions. It was the first time for us and I did what I could. With the feeling I had with the car in there, it's difficult to do much more.
13.05.2023 10:05 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a bit better now but it's hard to predict how much we need to save the tyres. We could have done a bit more in there but I think it was a clever run.
13.05.2023 09:05 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I didn't do anything different than on the other stages. I tried to manage the tyres a bit at the end but I had a clean run. It was very rough in there and very easy to get a puncture, so we had to be careful.
13.05.2023 09:05 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I think we are missing grip, I don't know. Many times I was on the edge of the corner and I felt like was not going so fast, but still we are sliding a lot.
13.05.2023 09:05 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Another good stage for us. The feeling is good and we can't do more. I don't know if it's because the road is getting more loose and we are losing traction, or if we need to find more performance, but we can't do more at the moment.
13.05.2023 09:05 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I took a lot of care of the tyres at the end of the stage but we had a vibration on the rear-left so I thought one was delaminating. It's very loose and we have to take care of the tyres.
13.05.2023 09:05 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The feeling was good, not too bad. Maybe I was a bit too careful with the tyres in some of the sections but I had a good clean run. There is a bit of dust in there, even with the four-minute gap, but it was just on the edge so it's driveable.
