Information
Date and time SS Information
04.06.2023 14:06 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Obviously it was a challening weekend. We came here with the belief that we could fight for victory but the first day was challenging and we lost a bit of time. Yesterday we found ourselves in the lead and we had to manage it until the end. It's the first victory for the team this year, it's a 1-2, and the first time for our team principal as well. Craig Breen is in our memories as well - we wanted the win in Croatia but we got it now.
04.06.2023 13:06 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): For me it's not really important to conserve tyres. Just one more stage to go and we want to bring home the victory. Our tyres aren't in great shape - we went all in yesterday and it paid off.
04.06.2023 08:06 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): No real concerns to be honest. Just driving through, our tyres are not in very good shape so we have to be clever and bring home the first victory this year for us and also for the team.
04.06.2023 08:06 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Just a clean drive through, just to keep the lead and get through the stages. With every stage start there's less mileage to go until the victory.
03.06.2023 19:06 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am relieved to be at the finish. It was a tough day out there but the feeling was getting better and better with the car. We learned a lot today, that's important, but it's still not always perfect yet and we can still improve. Tomorrow is a short but tricky day - we need to have a clever drive through and try to bring home the 1-2 for the team.
03.06.2023 18:06 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): That's good news but unfortunately a shame for Seb. Luckily they are okay because in these conditions it's easy to go off. The target was to keep the pressure and obviously we managed that well, so we have to be satisfied.
03.06.2023 17:06 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had very heavy rain in some sections. I don't know if it's the same for everybody but we did what we could, that's the only thing we could do. It felt quite okay but with the rain you never know.
03.06.2023 15:06 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): My tyres are not too bad. We are managing all weekend already, with only twelve soft tyres for three days. My package looks good, we have to see what the others do. Some went all in, some might have more tyres for tomorrow. With the weather it's uncertain, and anything can happen.
03.06.2023 11:06 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a good run but I was missing a bit of traction in there. It was quite humid and I would have liked to have had a bit more grip. Obviously we got a big hit in the previous stage by Sébastien, so we need to see what the strategy will be for the afternoon.
03.06.2023 11:06 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage, the same as the other stages. I don't know, I am surprised.
03.06.2023 09:06 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay. I feel more comfortable in the car and I can give it a bit more rhythm. Lots of new pace notes in there and it was not bad, but maybe I lost a few seconds here and there.
03.06.2023 09:06 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a bit of cleaning conditions in the new sections but the rest is quite sandy and straightforward. I tried to be careful and gentle with my used tyres because the loop is quite long and we want to manage it through the loop.
02.06.2023 17:06 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The problem is still there so the confidence wasn't too good but the balance of the car was okay in these conditions. The grip was so and so - I think the conditions are changing a lot between the cars so it's hard to say.
02.06.2023 15:06 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am happy with the drive but we still have the same problem as the previoius stage. The handbrake is sometimes not working and sometimes it is, it's difficult to rely on it.
02.06.2023 15:06 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We are carrying a small problem. I hope it's going to stay like this until the end of the loop without getting worse.
02.06.2023 11:06 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I have zero grip... I put the hard tyre on the front and I guess that was a mistake, I don't know. Undriveable. I struggled a lot and I had a lot of moments.
02.06.2023 10:06 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Obviously we know this stage a bit more, so I trust a bit better the car. When it gets a bit rutted I have much more confidence but when it's a harder surface I struggle. I am not 100 per cent confident yet.
02.06.2023 09:06 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Not a really good stage to be honest. It's much bumpier than I expected and I expected to go fast over the bumps. Once I got kicked around a bit I reduced the speed too much.
01.06.2023 19:06 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a challenging weekend ahead and we're going to give it our best. It's a bit of a lottery out there with the weather and everything but we have some nice stages ahead and we're going to enjoy it.
