Information
Date and time SS Information
19.07.2026 17:07 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Obviously a bit disappointed we lost so much time this morning. We also made some repairs before the stage and were almost late at TC this morning, so maybe I wasn't in a good rhythm. Generally first pass conditions we're struggling a lot with the grip. In the rutted sections I can trust the car and it does more or less what I want. Really pleased with my run in here. Thanks to the team. Shame we lost so much time on the first day, the battle would have been even more interesting.
19.07.2026 17:07 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know why I'm slow. I have no idea. There is no reason for that. It felt good. It is strange.
18.07.2026 23:07 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am really happy with my tyre choice. I managed them quite well throughout the run and, yeah, just finding the good balance and enjoying it. So that was nice. Adrien was super fast, so hopefully tomorrow the battle is on and we can have some fun together and see who ends up on the podium.
18.07.2026 23:07 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Martijn was trying to hold the window as it came loose after the jumps. We had a lot of dust in the car. I feel better in the car and we are progessively improving.
18.07.2026 23:07 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was good. I had a very good clean run. I felt the tyres were overheating a bit so they must be blistering quite a bit. At some point I tried to manage and then I said go for it. Let's see if it is a good strategy.
18.07.2026 23:07 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I'm happy with that. A little bit careful in some braking points, but you never know how much gravel is still left. The last junctions will still have a lot of cleaning. The balance is good now and I can enjoy my driving.
18.07.2026 23:07 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a good time. At least the balance of the car was much nicer now and I was able to play with the car more. We are getting there, it is too late clearly. I was enjoying it.
18.07.2026 23:07 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was ok with the ruts. I was just trusting the ruts and using it to carry more speed. It was ok. There were a few little surprises here and there which I don't like but it is part of it at the moment.
18.07.2026 23:07 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): A clean run. It wasn't a very good run. We are driving fast but not attacking like we wanted. I'm struggling a lot. We need to keep that position and stay behind the guys in front.
18.07.2026 22:07 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We need to look at the front. It didn't feel like it was good enough. Somehow I feel better than yesterday and the car seemed to work better we will see. We still need to work a bit. It was more enjoyable for sure.
18.07.2026 02:07 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I expected more but I don't know. The car felt brilliant in testing but today I couldn't find any of that. We will change some stuff for tomorrow. I'm a bit disappointed I couldn't find the feeling but something must be wrong.
18.07.2026 01:07 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I would have hoped for a bit more, but it seems to be difficult. We need to keep working, the rally is still long. Surprising to see Toyota get the hard tyre to work that well, while we would never get it to work like that.
18.07.2026 01:07 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is the only thing we are looking at for the moment. It is the understeer that is the the problem, the grip, the balance. We miss a bit of aero at the front and I can feel it more than I expected. We keep pushing.
18.07.2026 01:07 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We're trying, but I don't like the balance of the car. It felt like the rear was so low, maybe we did something wrong in the tyre fitting zone. Struggling a lot. We have some differential openings and I'm really thinking if there is something wrong with the differentials.
18.07.2026 01:07 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We are just skating on top, but we are not getting the lateral grip to load the grip into the corner. I had sticky feet, I was probably on the hot tarmac before the stage and my feet were sticking to the pedals. It was not very comfortable.
18.07.2026 01:07 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I might have touched a bale somewhere, It is not better I'm really fighting with the car. Sometimes it is bit scary I have no balance and massive understeer under braking, no grip. It is not a clean start at the moment.
18.07.2026 01:07 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a bit difficult. I was fighting with the car balance but other than that it was ok. I need to find a better feeling. The car has oversteer in the slow partrs and a lot of understeer in the fast parts.
