Information
Date and time SS Information
25.04.2021 22:04 20 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I pushed very hard but I overshot a junction and lost three seconds. We have tried our best. I was absolutely on the limit of the car all the time and trying to enjoy, which we did. Martijn did a good job also - it wasn't easy for the co-driver. I am happy to be here.
25.04.2021 11:04 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): To be honest, I gave it everything in there. The car was working nice and my pace notes were good. I can't do more.
25.04.2021 09:04 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I probably have some gravel in the rear wheel because I have a lot of vibrations. I slid a bit wide on a slow corner, nothing major, but it's a hell of a stage.
25.04.2021 08:04 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): On the downwhill sections I was understeering quite a lot. The road is quite dirty and I tried to adjust my driving to the conditions. I did the best I could.
24.04.2021 17:04 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know. We tried to fight back this afternoon when we had better tyres on the car. I had an issue with my jack and I couldn't change tyres all loop, so my tyres were a bit dead for the last stages. I tried to continue to push but obviously we lost a little bit.
24.04.2021 15:04 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): With the right tyres, the car is working nice. It was a really challenging stage but I had a good rhythm - I had a few slides but I saw some lines everywhere so I guess it's the same for everyone.
24.04.2021 11:04 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I lost the brake pedal completely and I had no handbrake, so it was really tricky and I had to reduce the speed. I am lucky to be here. We need to get it right for this afternoon.
24.04.2021 09:04 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Wrong tyre choice. I couldn't keep the rear in the line but, okay, it is like it is.
23.04.2021 18:04 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had a small moment. I was trying to push a bit more but under braking I lost the grip so I went a bit off line. It was all under control.
23.04.2021 17:04 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's feeling okay. I have the feeling like the grip changes are bigger with these tyres, so we need to adapt to that. The car works very well like this.
23.04.2021 16:04 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The road is more dry for sure. There are plenty of corners where there is no clean line, so I had to reduce the rhythm a little bit. The car is working nice, so that's definitely helping. There are some places I can definitely take more risks, but we are still early in the rally.
23.04.2021 15:04 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am first on the road and there are no lines. I had a spin in a hairpin - I was on the clutch waiting for the car to start so I lost a little bit of time.
23.04.2021 15:04 5 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): spun
23.04.2021 11:04 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had a decent loop. Obviously doing the best I can, the two last stages were really slippery as well. There were some really surprising grip changes.
23.04.2021 11:04 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am driving as good as I can and the car feels quite okay. Our tyre choice seems to be not too bad. The road will not get cleaner, but in this one I think there will be not a lot of difference.
23.04.2021 11:04 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Zero grip. There is zero grip. I had a lot of surprises and a huge jump where we landed very hard. We are here - I am lucky.
