Information
Date and time SS Information
08.09.2024 22:09 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I didn't have the information at all, when I saw the car I wasn't sure it was Ogier, I understand from that point in I just had to bring home the car and get through. Since yesterday morning we understand we had to get through to follow our objectives. Really proud of my team as well and Martijn Wydaeghe, we got the car to the end and that's what matters.
08.09.2024 22:09 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The road is destroyed, it's a nightmare. I was so careful in there. Just trying to avoid any problems. The risk is not worth it not at the moment.
08.09.2024 22:09 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's about managing but still trying to keep a good rhythm. I was struggling a bit with the grip, it's so narrow and you can easily hit a stone. You need to be really committed and I wasn't. The road position is probably improving as well.
07.09.2024 22:09 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Challenging day I would say. Not more to mention, stick to our plan and it works. It will be good tomorrow, take some points home after a challenging weekend.
07.09.2024 17:09 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): What to say, it has been an incredible day so far, it is still not over. We are still following the plan, to get the car to the end of the weekend, optimising every situation we can. That was the plan since yesterday, it is the only thing we can do.
07.09.2024 17:09 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): There was no risk at all in there, we just tried to follow the lines. I like when it is a bit more tehcnical and twisty, but those lines are hard to follow. The ruts are getting deeper, you can benefit a bit from the traction and the chance to rotate the car. Hopefully the next one will be smooth.
07.09.2024 17:09 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): My goals are very simple, get through the day without a problem. Especially without puncture. Fighting a bit with the rear, tricky conditions in there, lots of loose gravel I am trying to avoid. The second pass will be tough. Already lots of sharp stones and anything can happen here in the second pass. Hopefully we get through, have that little bit of luck we need, everything feels good in the car.
07.09.2024 17:09 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We are on full hards compound, we took the safer choice this morning. Also looking forward to tomorrow when we don't know what tyres will be best. Obviously trying to enjoy the car more than yesterday, we changed the setup and it is much better. Back to my standard setup which is easier to drive.
07.09.2024 09:09 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had a clean run through, was quite rough in the middle section so I took it a bit careful. Completely different conditions to yesterday, we also changed the car setup so I feel better with the car.
06.09.2024 18:09 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It wsas okay, the roughest stage of the day was the last one. Still fighting the balance, had some brake issues. Not a very clean run, but at least there was some ruts I could lean on. Very challenging day, did what we could with our position. We have seen a lot of problems for everyone, so it could have gone much worse for us. With the position we are in, we are good.
06.09.2024 15:09 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): For me it was a very bad stage, very loose, lots of understeer. I was fighting the car all the time and struggled a lot.
06.09.2024 15:09 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The car was working a lot better, thank you to the team for fixing it. Good stage for us, but obviously again no line. I didn't touch the hard surface underneath I'm just on the stone.
06.09.2024 12:09 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Obviously we got hit by some technical issues, it didn't help. Those cleaning issues, didn't help, it was a disaster. I tried to push a bit more, didn't lose too much time. I hope we didn't lose too much time. Hopefully the guys will fix it.
06.09.2024 12:09 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We couldn't resolve the issue, we were running on three cylinders for fifty percent of the stage at least. It's massive cleaning, we were doing our best with the tyres.
06.09.2024 12:09 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Not so great to be honest, massive cleaning. I didn't expect it to be so much. Very dry in there, lots of loose rocks that make you slide. The engine power has some problem in there, I was running on three cylinders at one point, so we have to check it.
