Information
Date and time SS Information
19.11.2017 11:11 21 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): This win is a special one - it goes to the whole team, they have worked so hard. It wasn't always easy but we kept the motivation high. We round off the year with a win and second in the championship. Thanks to everyone in the team both here and at the factory - great job guys.
19.11.2017 11:11 19 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): That was a hell of a ride. Really, really tricky conditions but I kept it on the road. It was close sometimes and I had to be clever. How confident am I of winning? The gap now is about one second per kilometre for the two stages to come, so it should be alright.
19.11.2017 11:11 18 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I couldn't do more in the rain. I tried to do my best. I will manage.
19.11.2017 11:11 17 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We have a comfortable gap so we need to be clever and manage it well. Maybe we were too careful here but in the end we only lose one second.
19.11.2017 10:11 13 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I try. This was a bit more slippery and I struggled a bit with oversteer. Not so much fun, but the time is good. We must carry on like this.
19.11.2017 10:11 12 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I got into the stage, the tyres felt good so I decided to give it a go. I kept going and when it started to get dry I really pushed hard.
18.11.2017 01:11 11 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I'm really disappointed for Andreas (Mikkelsen), it was nice fight but it looks like he punctured at the same place where we went off. We are a bit in trouble ... no first gear.
18.11.2017 01:11 10 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I went straight on at a junction. I was following lines in the road, I braked too late and had to reverse. I have broken something on the gearbox too.
18.11.2017 01:11 9 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I was sweating like hell and it affected my concentration.
19.11.2017 10:11 6 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I struggled a bit on the soft tyres here - especially at the rear. I couldn't really push and lost a bit of time here.
19.11.2017 10:11 5 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Maybe sliding a little too much but I tried to push. Did Sebastien have a problem? If not, it would be too big a gap.
19.11.2017 09:11 4 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): All good. It's working. Quite slippery but better than this morning.
17.11.2017 00:11 3 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I tried to give my best in here, it's a very fast stage with a lot of cleaning. Okay, I took something from Ogler but I guess we'll lose more to the guys behind.
16.11.2017 22:11 2 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I was able to push more I but I am moving around too much - tricky grip and I am hesitating too much.
16.11.2017 22:11 1 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was okay, I was not pushing very hard. The grip was higher than I expected on these soft tyres, there was some dust hanging around, I didn't go really really fast. I think the early split is a mistake - I kept the same rhythm throughout.
