Información
Fecha y hora TC Información
25.06.2023 23:06 19 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): original time: 5:34,0
25.06.2023 23:06 19 retired (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): excluded - stewards decision no 10 (illegal recce of person connected to the crew)
25.06.2023 13:06 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know what to say. It's a fabulous rally but again another really bad weekend for us. Nothing we could have done, Martijn and myself have done our jobs. We can be proud of that but other than that there is nothing positive to take from here.
25.06.2023 12:06 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We should by now have caught P8 in the overall rankings. Power Stage points, we're going to see, but this one was horrible. It is so rutted and in some places it felt like we had no suspension in there.
25.06.2023 12:06 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's the brake cooling duct, it's been like that since the beginning.
25.06.2023 12:06 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Lappi's propshaft is broken already?! I took it very slowly... We can't catch P8 so I just drove through. This is the roughest stage of the rally so we had to be careful in there.
24.06.2023 16:06 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): On the last 7km it stopped raining and it was standing water, so I was cleaning the ruts. A hell of a stage - if you are not in the car you cannot describe the conditions. It's going to be interesting to follow the fight behind. That's proper Safari, that's what we want, but once again we were not prepared well enough, that's for sure.
24.06.2023 14:06 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know if it was a push but there was not hole left that I didn't go through! It was a bit shaky and I had to push back my helmet a few times, but it was fun.
24.06.2023 13:06 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The conditions have changed a lot. For sure it's better but with the car in general there's no real change. We can feel that we are missing traction in the bumpy sections. It's quite hard and we are getting kicked around quite a lot.
24.06.2023 12:06 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I was enjoying, but I have no pressure and I don't need to push. Obviously we are making the line as well in all the mud so it's very tough. The guys behind are going to suffer a lot - they're going to have to push, and in these conditions it's not very easy.
24.06.2023 12:06 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I would say it was fun, I enjoyed this one. On the first one the conditions were so bad for us. We lost 3sec per km. We can just try to catch some points from the rally.
24.06.2023 12:06 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know if it is the car or the road, but something is wrong. It is very hard to see the road, I struggled alot.
23.06.2023 15:06 6 retired (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): damaged suspension in SS 11
23.06.2023 15:06 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The feeling was good, the drive was good. The grip is very low = I think we are even slower than this morning, but generally the feeling was good.
23.06.2023 10:06 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We lost a lot...
23.06.2023 10:06 3 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): damaged tyre
23.06.2023 10:06 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Very difficult. It's very shaky in there and we got kicked off the line and we had a big bee in the car! Basically I lost my concentration in the beginning and there was a lot of cleaning in the last section.
22.06.2023 14:06 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a tough event. Nobody knows what is going to happen. It will be a big surprise. There is going to be ups and downs for all of us during the weekend but hopefully more ups than downs.
