24.11.2024 02:11 19 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I am still struggling. Lot of understeer entry, oversteer exit so not ideal. That is how it is. I want to congratulate, Thierry and Martijn. It's been a long time Belgium were waiting for this and being half-Belgian, I am quite proud of them. Along with Ogier, they have been an inspiration to me. Really cool to see him finally achieve it. I remember 2010 when I was watching him in Ypres with a Peugeot 207 with the Belgian team and I was hoping to be in the same position, so I am really happy for them.
24.11.2024 00:11 18 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): At the moment I was hesitating, you have the impact and don't know what the car is going to do if you have a slow puncture or something. I am struggling more than yesterday. Yesterday was way more twisty so you just have to make the car slow downhill, you have more load with the tyre and the chassis. Struggling a bit but have to improve this afternoon. It stays [as it is], Forum8 Rally Japan with its surprises. Now there is not so much to play for, we just need to improve.
24.11.2024 00:11 17 flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): In the middle sector it is really slippery, in the beginning although I tried to heat the tyre up a lot I didn't have any feeling, outside temperature is still quite low. I didn't trust the front of the car. At the end on the hairpin uphill, I hit quite badly on the left and the steering is quite bent.
