Information
Date and time SS Information
16.02.2025 05:02 8 flash info (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 flash info (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 flash info (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 flash info (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 flash info (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 flash info (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 flash info (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 flash info (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.
