19.11.2023 12:11 22 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): First of all I am happy it's over now. It was still an enjoyable weekend but obviously we could have been in the fight - I apologised to the team for my mistake but it is what it is. We're going to do another good season next year. We had eight podiums this year and a couple of troubles which cost us some points and put us out of the fight for the championship.
19.11.2023 04:11 21 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am still looking for the grip, all weekend long. I couldn't find any grip to be honest but it's the same for everybody. These have been two very tough last events to round out the season - in terms of conditions, it has been really challenging. I enjoy these conditions but it would have been nicer to still be within the fight.
19.11.2023 04:11 20 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Even if it's not important anymore, it's always good to end the season with a good feeling. That's what we are aiming for.
19.11.2023 01:11 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's another challenging stage. Maybe a bit easier than the previous one, but I didn't have a big rhythm. There were a lot of leaves and even a little bit of slush in some places.
19.11.2023 00:11 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Horrible! I am making the line everywhere. The general speed is very slow but still the risk of going off the road is very high. For the last day of rallying, you couldn't imagine anything more difficult than this.
18.11.2023 23:11 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): This was probably the easiest stage of the day. I don't really have a plan, I will follow my feeling and if that feeling is good then I will try to drive a bit.
