31.08.2026 15:08 22 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The car was basically stuck in the mud on a hairpin, and I nearly did a 360. Very disappointed about the weekend. Again, when things don't go our way, there's nothing really we can do. And somehow we were able to progressively build up our speed yesterday, push today like we wanted, and yeah, thanks to the guys who gave us a car which obviously showed great speed. Not what we wanted this weekend, but Adrien and Hayden did a good job, and they deserved a good podium for the team, which is desperately needed.
31.08.2026 15:08 20 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is the most narrow stage of the rally. There were quite a few technical parts. I was maybe bit too carful on the braking. Overall I thought it was a good run.
31.08.2026 15:08 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): There is a lot of cleaning in there. There is lots of little loose stones on the braking and on the corner exits. I couldn't find the traction. I was fighting for grip. It is a fine line being too fast or too slow. We will see what is happening with the weather. I hope we have a good strategy with the five tyres.
31.08.2026 15:08 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I would say it was wetter than I expected. It is not very bright outside so it was hard to see in places. Obviously we expected a bit more rain, but it's coming, it's coming.
