Information
Date and time SS Information
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.
