Information

Date and time	SS	Information
16.02.2025 17:02	18	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Definitely meant a lot, we have done a good rally. Some ups and downs but overall we can be pleased with our performance. We saw the road conditions changing over the whole weekend, so it is hard to know which is the best start position. Well done to Elfyn and Taka over the whole weekend, it has been a great fight.
16.02.2025 16:02	17	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had a small mistake on a junction where I hit a bit of a snow bank. It took time to get speed again so it took maybe one or two seconds out. The times are so close and we expect them to be close. I am happy with my stage.
16.02.2025 16:02	16	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I didn't have a good run to be honest, I am understeering all the way. I cannot do more at the moment. When I know the road, I can predict and engage before but when you discover it, it is not possible. It is a struggle all weekend, yesterday the grip was higher but in this condition, it is harder.
16.02.2025 16:02	15	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We have to prepare well tonight. I am happy with the day to be honest, we did what we should do and we had a good rhythm managing the race. I tried to preserve the tyres as much as I could. Slightly increase the rhythm bit by bit. Go flat out tomorrow.
16.02.2025 16:02	14	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I just said to Martijn Wydaeghe, finally a good stage. I enjoyed that one, it was getting a bit dark, not easy to find the braking points. I was early on a few, a bit late on the others. I tried to keep the speed, all okay.
16.02.2025 16:02	13	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It felt okay, as always struggling with the balance at some point, but overall not a bad one. Tried to give it a bit more speed. The lines are getting cleaner so not so easy to fight with the guys behind. It's a shame for Fourmaux, we need every car at the finish. The risk is there with the speed we are going.
16.02.2025 16:02	12	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I got the message we were slower than Rovanperä, let's see it is a long loop. Generally happy with my drive, at the beginning you can attack a bit more, but at the end there is no mistake.
16.02.2025 15:02	11	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We have to try and keep Rovanperä at bay, thye have been pretty fast this morning. Not much more I could have done, we kept trying things to gain some speed. Let's see on second pass, it will not be first pass conditions.
16.02.2025 15:02	10	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I did some setup changes and we are struggling with the same problem of the first pass, the understeer. I need to always be a bit slow on the entry of corners, that's where we lose time. The driving is good but we need to find the balance on the car that gives us more speed.
16.02.2025 14:02	9	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I didn't go too bad, I just lost two or three seconds in a half spin in a fast corner, where I hit the snow on the inside. It nearly spun me around, other than that I had a good stage.
16.02.2025 05:02	8	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): A little bit too much, I missed the first braking. The speed was good, I just couldn't get out of the ruts. I hit the snow bank and lost a bit of time. We had good tyre management this afternoon and a clever run through some challenging stages with not a lot of information about how the tyres would survive. I followed my feeling and it's been a good afternoon.
16.02.2025 04:02	7	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I wasn't pushing that much, I had a good stage. Few pace notes were a little slow, in the dark it is not good to see. It is really slippery, lots of ice and the studs are quite warm. Not a bad afternoon so let's finish the job for the day. Let's bring it home today and focus on another day tomorrow.
16.02.2025 04:02	6	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I was managing the tyres a bit more and obviously the tyre strategy is quite crucial this afternoon, I tried to preserve them as best as I could now and keep them good for the upcoming stages. It's hard to predict the conditions. I had to turn the pods on.
16.02.2025 04:02	5	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Obviously, the time is a surprise but a good surprise. Still struggling with understeer, trying to manage the tyres. Let's have a look now how they look. Maybe we were careful with the tyres, maybe the road cleaned up. On a long road like this, we need to manage. I didn't feel like I was losing too much performance, but the time gain on this was a decent one.
14.02.2025 13:02	4	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The understeer was better but I think the road is changing. Overall, still fighting a lot with the car and the road conditon is changing with every car, you can't really look at the times at the moment.
14.02.2025 13:02	3	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am struggling. Generally, with the understeer. Massive understeer and the first part of the stage seems to be okay, but it gets so bad towards the end. I can't do anymore. It is not fun, I will see if we can improve. The balance of the car seems to be changing.
14.02.2025 13:02	2	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We have no thoughts. I am flat out everywhere, turning and the car just goes straight. I tried to be honest, but I had to back off, I can't control the car and it is too risky. It was scary in some places. The first part I had a good rhythm, but once the stage gets faster I was just understeering the whole way through.
13.02.2025 19:02	1	(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Just struggling with the intercom and careful on the braking. Everytime I have been on this stage, I am always on the limit of the braking, but this time was the opposite. We had a small issue with the intercom this morning, we thought we sorted it but it crept up again.
