Information
Date and time SS Information
01.10.2023 23:10 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I put all my tyres into the battle for second this morning. I started with slick tyres but, anyhow, an eventful event for us to be honest.
01.10.2023 23:10 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a shame for him because he was doing an incredibly good rally. I am disappointed for that, so now we have to bring it home. It's important for us to have a good start position for the next events which are on Tarmac.
01.10.2023 23:10 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's cleaning a lot, so Teemu should be able to go faster. I had a good stage but it's very difficult sometimes. When the rear is very loose, you cannot go with the speed that you would like.
01.10.2023 23:10 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage, but there were a couple of small moments. I was on the limit in many corners but the car was working nice.
01.10.2023 23:10 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay, to be honest. We maybe saved the tyres a bit too much on the middle stage but in here it was okay. We left from the start line a bit late - we had a technical issue and couldn't fire up the car and we did two stages with no hybrid. A difficult afternoon.
01.10.2023 23:10 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good run. Just trying to save the tyres, that was the only thing. I think we're not bad for the last one.
01.10.2023 23:10 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good start but towards the end I took it very steady on the last downhill to save the tyres. It's hard to know how much the tyres are wearing because you feel them overheating, but you are not sure if it is taking away the rubber or if it's just the gravel moving.
01.10.2023 23:10 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was the first good stage for me since the beginning of the weekend. There is lots of cleaning and the tyres are quite hot, but I think I did quite well in there. Without the puncture this morning, we could have had a perfect loop."
01.10.2023 23:10 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's all about managing the tyres now. It felt good for the first few kilometres but then the tyres were gone. Obviously, after the puncture, it's not a good situation.
01.10.2023 23:10 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Puncture... 10kms.
01.10.2023 23:10 7 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): puncture
01.10.2023 23:10 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know the standings but we had an issue before the stage. I lost the hybrid, so I did the whole stage without. I tried to do a good stage, I am fighting, but there were a couple of hot moments in there.
01.10.2023 23:10 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Not so different from this morning, to be honest. There is still a lot of cleaning in there. In this stage I struggle less with the car than on the others, I don't know why. I am not feeling 100 per cent comfortable but it is what it is and we're going to continue working to try and find some improvements.
01.10.2023 23:10 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I think it's about tyre management, I was managing the whole stage through and I think it's going to be a long afternoon. When I am managing the tyres I can drive the car, but as soon as I push harder I go into a spin.
01.10.2023 23:10 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's very scary to be honest. I am fighting like hell and I am having lots of moments. A lot of work to be done.
01.10.2023 22:10 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was better. We can still improve but we did a big step on the chassis. Still, I cannot trust it, so I always need to be careful in case there is a little bit less grip than we expect.
01.10.2023 22:10 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I have no grip. I couldn't find the confidence. It was tough, hard work this morning to wake up like this and to not have the feeling. The car is sliding all around so I really struggled a lot in there.
