Informazione
Data e ora PS Informazione
30.10.2023 11:10 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I mean, first of all I am really pleased to be at the finish - it was a very challenging and tough weekend out there. Overall we did a good job, we had good consistency which ultimately paid off. It was a team effort this weekend and we did it, so we can be proud of that.
30.10.2023 11:10 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am not sure I am really enjoying it. We have a comfortable gap now and I am just trying to get through without any technical issues or mistakes. No real push, I am just trying to keep concentration and finish the job.
29.10.2023 08:10 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Everything is going to plan. A clean run through this stage, no risks, and onto the next one. We have a regroup and we're going to talk to our gravel crew, but I felt already that the soft tyre was getting to the limit now.
28.10.2023 19:10 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was probably the most enjoyable stage for me this weekend, I like driving in the dark and this was fun. All afternoon we tried to manage the gap and I am happy to finish the day in the lead of the rally. We are following our target.
28.10.2023 17:10 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's very hard to say which rhythm to go with. I had a clean stage, obviously the rain tyre on the rear is still moving a bit. On the next one, if the rain comes, we are on the safe side with three wets.
28.10.2023 15:10 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a clean stage for us. It would have been nice to do this one with full slicks, but it was enjoyable at least. We think there is a small risk of rain in the last stage in the dark, so we went for the safe option.
28.10.2023 13:10 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Obviously I am disappointed for Elfyn - his championship hopes are obvously gone now, but that's rallying. This was probably the most demanding stage of the loop and we did what we could.
28.10.2023 13:10 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): A very challenging stage to be honest. It was okay, but still not as I would like. We are getting closer to what we need to go fast and we did a good stage. It was a bit more enjoyable than the stages we have done so far.
28.10.2023 09:10 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): There was a bit of rain, but not too much. I am still struggling a bit with the handling in general. Towards the end on a lot of long corners I do not have the confidence to commit and carry on through. Now we will make some small changes to see what we can do.
27.10.2023 18:10 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was getting more and more rainy, so I thought we were losing time. Maybe in some places it cleaned the road, I don't know. I am constantly on the limit of the grip in the car, we just went this morning with too stiff of a set-up.
27.10.2023 18:10 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The tyre is moving a bit, but generally I have no grip. I am really fighting to keep the car on the road, but it is what it is. It was drying a bit in sections but as soon as you want to go a bit faster you go into the dirt. Not an easy stage but definitely better conditions than this morning.
27.10.2023 18:10 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): To be honest, I can't do more. I had a clean stage in there and I am doing what I can at the moment. This morning the conditions were very tricky and getting dirtier and dirtier, now it's very similar and I am doing what I can. It's not what it should be - we made the wrong set-up choice and there is nothing we could do with no midday service.
27.10.2023 18:10 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): My stage wasn't too bad, so 12 seconds is a lot. The road is getting dirty so there's not much we can do. I think we kept the springs from shakedown which are obviously far too hard, and I have to carry on the whole day now with that set-up.
27.10.2023 18:10 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The conditions are really, really tricky. The visibility is bad and I lost the car a couple of times in the fast sections. We need to work on the set-up to make it more progressive.
27.10.2023 18:10 4 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): missed junction
27.10.2023 18:10 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I was struggling to see the road. I opened all the windows to get some air in but it's getting very, very dirty.
26.10.2023 20:10 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was not the greatest stage. I don't know about the tyres - I think it was in between the wet and the soft, and I decided to go to the soft at the very last moment. The anti-cuts are reflecting from the lights so you can't see very well, but we had a clean run through.
26.10.2023 20:10 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a good start then, but there are some more guys to come behind. We're going to go for it. There's a championship fight going on at the front so the rhythm will be high, but we know that on Tarmac we are usually fast.
