Information
Date and time SS Information
02.08.2024 19:08 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Very disappointed as team, we lost two cars in those circumstances so that is disappointing for everybody but that is racing. At least EP is back and Ott and Martin are both fine, that's the main thing. I look forward, beautiful stages tomorrow. Still need to improve the car a little bit but we'll get there.
02.08.2024 19:08 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage, we'll see the times very soon. It is very hard to predict, it is changing and switch all the time and the weather is changing every five minutes. One more stage to go. Other than a mistake we have done the best we can do today and we're ready for tomorrow.
02.08.2024 16:08 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Pace was good, lots of standing water and the ruts were full of water in places. Nothing we can do.
02.08.2024 16:08 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a clean run but not good conditions for us to be honest. It is quite wet in there, bit of water, muddy places. We are making the line, huge cuts, muddy water and I got mudded out. Not what I need. At the moment, we are not thinking about the podium, we are thinking about surviving and keeping an eye on Elfyn Evans.
02.08.2024 14:08 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The first part was really good, lots of grip. But once you later hit the stage, the grip was really low. Very rutted section with lots of water. Not easy.
02.08.2024 12:08 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Let's see, I had a clean stage with a little bit of drizzle. Could be an advantage to be first on the road sometimes. A few grip changes in there, little bit of graveling. We went straight on the last stage and we lost 12-13sec, so massive shame.
02.08.2024 12:08 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Slightly dryer, definitely more constant grip, it is much harder to commit. Definitely fighting the car in some places, it is not where I want us to be. I don't think there is a disadvantage but I would like to have one or two cars in front to help dig the ground, as occasionally I am losing quite a bit of speed.
02.08.2024 12:08 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The grip was a little bit more constant but I went straight on a junction, there was a blind corner over a crest, my pace note clearly didn't read a junction and we went straight onto the grass.
02.08.2024 12:08 3 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): was out of road
02.08.2024 12:08 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Very bad conditions, to be honest I had many small moments where the car didn't turn at all or just went into a huge slide. It is a disaster. No, nothing got sorted, I lose control. Really tough ride.
01.08.2024 21:08 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a good start, but the real stuff starts tomorrow. We are looking forward, it was a difficult shakedown for us this morning and we had some problems with the car. Hopefully tomorrow everything is working like it should be.
