Information
Date and time SS Information
18.02.2024 13:02 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We did what we could. It was a challenging weekend for us, but I'm happy with the points we got. A good run for us despite the conditions we faced on Friday. That's what it is.
18.02.2024 12:02 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I'm not much happier, but a position gained is done and compared to Tänak, it should be also good.
18.02.2024 12:02 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I tried, I tried, but I'm not very confident in the car. I did what I could. The car is just not turning when I want. I need always to decrease the speed on the entry and end up taking the handbrake, otherwise I understeer. It was not nice.
17.02.2024 19:02 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It wasn't easy with the little studs we have left on the tyres. It was a good stage for us, I enjoyed it actually. It's very tricky and we saw Grégoire Munster stuck in the snowbank and I had to slow down a bit. I need a good feeling tomorrow morning. We made some changes to the differential and it seems the car is treating me better. I don't know if it's good enough for tomorrow morning.
17.02.2024 17:02 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's quite different conditons to this morning, lots of gravel out there but I enjoyed it a lot. I was feeling more-or-less ok, because you don't need to push so much, you just need to manage the tyres through the whole stage. Then it's ok. As soon as I start to push, I don't feel comfortable.
17.02.2024 15:02 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The road is getting faster and faster. It's not a surprise, because my stage was really bad!
17.02.2024 15:02 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Quite challenging conditions out there. There was lots of snow everywhere, and a lot of really hard gravel as well. I took it a bit steady towards the end for the tyres. We changed the setup before the stage, trying to understand the car and see where we can improve.
17.02.2024 12:02 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I just can't get it working. We're trying to change the set-up for every stage. Obviously it's not a secret - I only had one run in shakedown without trouble and we didn't have time to confirm some settings. Yesterday was impossible to do any more and today we are struggling. In addition to that, we lost the intercom in the last section. Nothing we can do.
17.02.2024 12:02 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We tried some different settings, but there were a couple of surprises in there with lots of movement and hitting the ground many times. Not much more I can do at the moment.
17.02.2024 12:02 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It seems it's better to be first on the road today, but generally I have no traction at all. I'm trying, but I just can't brake late and get out of the corners. The car is not fast enough.
16.02.2024 19:02 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I just tried to get through the day and end it on a good note. It was quite a good stage and now I'm looking forward to another day tomorrow - hopefully trouble-free so we can enjoy it a bit more!
16.02.2024 16:02 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's still the same fuel pressure problem, but we carry on. In the stage it's not a problem. I could have gone a little bit faster at the end, but it's very easy to go off. Other than that, I had a good stage.
16.02.2024 16:02 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Suddenly, we had an issue. The engine was not running so we had to check it, but obviously the bonnet wasn't closed properly. I had a few lines [to follow] now, so the conditions were a bit better but I still couldn't see the road. Elfyn was at the refuel earlier when out car didn't fire up, so he should know.
16.02.2024 15:02 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know, the speed is very slow. I was enjoying the drive, but I know the time will be properly bad. I think we can lose three seconds per kilometre in there...
16.02.2024 12:02 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Very difficult conditions but we went through the morning loop.
16.02.2024 12:02 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It’s really difficult. I don’t see much and there’s not grip.
16.02.2024 12:02 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): That was very challenging. Visibility was close to zero with the fog - everything looks the same. I think only the real Mayor of Brattby would have loved that stage, but I didn't!
15.02.2024 19:02 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was OK, I don't get the power on the ground, we have to work a bit on the car to get a bit more traction tomorrow...we have to get good braking points, I was struggling a bit.
