Information
Date and time SS Information
24.01.2025 17:01 9 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I was punctured far before the corner, front left puncture since the beginning. We tried to go as far and as fast as we could but at some point the tyre just went and we went straight again. I don't know if we should have stopped and changed it or not, it is hard to know if the tyre will be ok.
24.01.2025 17:01 9 (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): puncture
24.01.2025 17:01 9 (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): was out of road on same place like in first run
24.01.2025 16:01 8 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is really tricky. On the ice, I was pushing the clutch and pushing the handbrake, all four wheels were locking. It is not easy to keep it on the road. We were talking about the car. There is a change of balance, once the tyres get very hot I get massive understeer. It's soemthing we couldn't test yet so we need to find out.
24.01.2025 15:01 7 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): First of all, thank you to the guys who fixed the car. Happy to be here, not so easy to be honest, I tried to do a good stage. But I have too much inconsistency with road openings. There is no line at all, we are mkaing the line everywhere in the deep mud. I tried what I could but I don't feel so comfortable, I come off all the time and it makes it so scary.
24.01.2025 12:01 6 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I think we paid the price of not having enough experience with the tyre for the dry section, it felt like the tyre was quite stable then suddenly I lost the car on the brakes, saw the ditch and lost the rear. The car is fine to go back to service.
24.01.2025 12:01 6 (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): was out of road, broken wheel
24.01.2025 09:01 4 flash info (1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is not easy. First on the road, no lies. Lots of surprises. I did get some rhythm but the car did not have a lot of grip. I was always losing the balance, so not easy. Sometimes the ice was still there, but even in some new places. Not easy.
