Information
Date and time SS Information
30.07.2017 12:07 25 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I really struggled this weekend. You have to come here with bucket loads of confidence. That quickly unravelled for us. The next one is on tarmac and yeah, we have a bit of work to do.
30.07.2017 11:07 24 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): One of the most difficult weekends I've had in a rally car. I just want to get through to the finish.
30.07.2017 09:07 23 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I've struggled for confidence all weekend. I just want to get through the day.
30.07.2017 08:07 22 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Okay. What can I say? I tried. The grip was okay.
29.07.2017 18:07 21 (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): His front right wheel is damaged and rubber flailing from the punctured tyre has ripped off the front wing and part of the bumper. He doesn't stop to explain what happened.
29.07.2017 17:07 20 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I didn't enjoy this at all. It didn't suit us. A lot of ruts.
29.07.2017 16:07 19 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Not perfect but still an incredible piece of road.
29.07.2017 15:07 18 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): This is only a short stage. We'll continue and see what happens.
29.07.2017 12:07 17 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Not significant compared to the other things we need to look at. It's not interesting for me at the moment. We have to continue to try to work. Difficult at the moment.
29.07.2017 12:07 16 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I know this stage very well but I couldn't drive the car here. It was like a rear-wheel-drive. Opposite lock to opposite lock.
29.07.2017 12:07 15 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): We still have a little issue with the steering.
29.07.2017 08:07 14 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): We left service and there is still something not right about the steering. We'll just have to drive around it.
28.07.2017 20:07 13 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I just didn't feel that I can push today. I just don't have the feeling to commit.
28.07.2017 18:07 12 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Not so nice with the damaged steering. I just don't feel confident with wheel at the wrong angle in my hands.
28.07.2017 17:07 11 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I touched a big stone and the steering is bent. The steering wheel is at an odd angle now. That's our loop over, we will just nurse the car through.
28.07.2017 15:07 9 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I can't trust the grip and when you start to hesitate it quickly unravels. What can I do? I don't know. What I can't do is put it in the trees.
28.07.2017 14:07 8 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I struggled in here a lot. Just couldn't feel the grip, and when you start hesitating it gets worse. That's down to me, but once you do that it's over.
28.07.2017 11:07 7 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I can't place the car like I want to. I just can't do the right thing. Okay, we have to get back to service and see what we can do.
28.07.2017 09:07 5 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Just when you want to give a bit of energy, it [the car] doesn't give it back. This stage had a different nature. I'm still trying to figure things out.
28.07.2017 09:07 4 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): It felt really uncomfortable with the car in there - on the wide wide especially. I can't get the feeling I had last year.
28.07.2017 09:07 3 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I last drove this stage seven or eight years ago so I have very little knowledge of it. You really need to get your speed right. I knew halfway through I didn't have the confidence.
28.07.2017 09:07 2 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Yeah, by just a few tenths. On this rally it will be tenths separating everyone. It's going to be a long day - we'll have to be on it. No road cleaning, humid all the way through. Normal.
27.07.2017 19:07 1 flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): This is a difficult street stage where you don't want to make a mistake. For sure others will be faster, but it's more important not to lose time here.
