Information
Date and time SS Information
11.05.2024 21:05 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): If somebody would've told us on Thursday that we would be third on Saturday evening, I wouldn't have believed it. It feels great to be honest, after a difficult day. Was really enjoyable here so many people around. That's what we like to see.
11.05.2024 21:05 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): So far it has been a good weekend for us, today was a bit more challenging. One more stage to go, hopefully we end up on the podium and we can score a couple of extra points.
11.05.2024 18:05 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's far too hot for those tyres. We were expecting rain, but there is no sign of any rain. I was punishing these tyres all the way to the end of the last stage. It's not good.
11.05.2024 17:05 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The position we are, we need to get through and carry on driving without making mistakes. There's nothing to push for so it makes it very challenging.
11.05.2024 15:05 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): You know Sordo, he will try get past us anyhow. He will try to push and beat us. It's not working as well as yesterday, I don't feel so well today.
11.05.2024 13:05 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The last one was really tricky. The car is not in perfect shape but there is zero grip in there. Plenty of surprises.
11.05.2024 13:05 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Damage affected us quite a lot. Lots of understeer and in the corner I cannot make the car rotate. I was using a lot of handbrake but I did what I could. Grip changing is tricky and lots of cleaning in places, very tricky to run.
11.05.2024 13:05 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I misjudged the grip with the braking so I went a bit wide, and then on a hairpin I misjudged the grip again. Two mistakes in one stage is not good.
11.05.2024 12:05 11 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): spun
11.05.2024 12:05 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We have a bit better road position, but it isn't good enough. It's so easy to lean into the ruts and it will get deeper faster. We will see.
