Information
Date and time SS Information
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.
