Information
Date and time SS Information
11.04.2026 18:04 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): There is no balance in this kind of condition. We are in a good positon and we had a good day and it is a day we have been looking for, for a long time. It is a small step forward but a big step for us.
11.04.2026 17:04 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The stage is nice. We made some steps and it works. Just sometimes sliding too much.
11.04.2026 17:04 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): That's nice. I said to Martjin that it was a good stage when we crossed the finish line because I felt like I was not struggling with the balance. A couple of places we could go faster. We're working in the right way. Not exactly where we want to be, but progress is important. Changes? Springs in the front, changed the diff. We did some clicks now. I'm trying to be clean, but when the car doesn't turn, it doesn't work.
11.04.2026 17:04 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Balance? Medium. We can improve. Generally not 100% comfortable, especially in corner combinations. It was okay, but can be better. Generally the grip was quite constant, a couple of slippy corners. No real surprises.
11.04.2026 16:04 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The car balance. These stages are a real struggle for me. Understeering like hell. I don't get the rotation to get a good corner exit. We're in a good position at the moment and we need to keep fighting.
11.04.2026 08:04 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I hope Elfyn and Scott are fine. I saw them on the road, but I didn't see any braking lines. For me, balance wise, medium. The car is still nervous and I'm fighting a bit to keep it straight. The grip is super low, so makes it very difficult to read the grip and find the confidence. Not easy to find the good rhythm. It's still very early in the rally and a lot of opponents already out. We need to have a clean rally, it's still very long.
11.04.2026 08:04 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I started to enjoy it a bit more, but the stage is very dirty. The grip is very low. I tried to find a good rhythm, keep a good speed. The balance of the car improved, but I made the car so hard that it's getting nervous. Tyres? I think I could've used one more soft in the beginning, but our issue is we can't get the hards working.
10.04.2026 10:04 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was ok. I was bit distubred when I saw the car off the road. We didn't have the information so I was a bit lost after that. I was fighting the same issues as before. I feel like we can make it better through the day.
