Information
Date and time SS Information
21.07.2023 17:07 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It has been positive. We are happy to be in the rhythm, that's the most important part for us. Tomorrow is another day and we should have a good road position. I am looking forward to the battle with the others.
21.07.2023 17:07 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a fun stage. It's interesting and generally I felt good in the car. Just towards the end I had a problem with the brakes - we lost a bit of the feeling but I got through without losing too much time.
21.07.2023 15:07 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): There is not much we can do at the moment. We have a good rhythm but I struggled with understeer on entry and oversteer in the ruts. I can feel it's not perfect but that's what it is at the moment.
21.07.2023 14:07 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's with the rain. It's not the same conditions so there is not much you can do. The conditions are evolving with every car and there are just a couple of places where you lose the speed and you cannot go faster. Compared to Ott it's a good time and we can be happy.
21.07.2023 12:07 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I was struggling a bit in there. When the surface is hard the grip is really low and I struggled with that. I was losing the rear all of the time, a couple of wide slides, but I had fun. We are having fun and the car feels not so bad.
21.07.2023 12:07 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I feel quite okay. A couple of corners I could go slightly faster but it's early in the rally and you need to keep very well concentrated to get through. A good start I would say, but I think we could improve a little bit to get more speed.
21.07.2023 12:07 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Lines are appearing a little bit but it's not an easy stage to kick off to be honest. There's more to come.
20.07.2023 21:07 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's going to be fast, that's for sure. Plenty of flat-out sections and sections where the average speed is close to 160kph. It's fun driving it but it's frustrating if you get to the finish and the time isn't good. Everybody is on the edge and we know quite well the stages.
