Information
Date and time SS Information
26.06.2022 14:06 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I have not much to say. The situation is very obvious, so I am really disappointed. I am disappointed for our mechanics as well because they are working hard, but they don't get any return.
26.06.2022 12:06 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): An okay stage for us...let's go to the next one.
26.06.2022 12:06 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The road is already destroyed and it will be a very tough Power Stage on the second pass.
26.06.2022 12:06 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Horrible. The car was jumping all around and it was very rough in there, with lots of sand in the car. It's an interesting one.
25.06.2022 20:06 13 retired (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): accident in SS 13
25.06.2022 20:06 13 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): crashed into tree
25.06.2022 20:06 13 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): continue
25.06.2022 20:06 13 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): stopped in stage
25.06.2022 20:06 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): In the bumpy section, I lost all the body work. I had a lot of understeer at the end and I couldn't drive faster because without the front, the car is lifting all the time.
25.06.2022 20:06 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had an okay stage, but we are still struggling with the dust inside and I had a rear right puncture for the last 3km as well. We lost a bit of time in there, but we are here.
25.06.2022 20:06 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I struggled a bit in there. I had no good visibility with the [cracked] windscreen and it was difficult for me to see the rocks. The next stage will be a huge challenge.
25.06.2022 20:06 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I enjoyed the stage, but I am struggling with the handling of the car and also the visibility. In a fast left, there was a tree and it touched the windscreen and broke it. It was not good at the end, but we are here.
24.06.2022 14:06 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The car was full of dust from mid-stage. Visibility was very bad and we had a puncture on the last 5km. It was an interesting stage and we tried to survive, but with the dust it was very difficult.
24.06.2022 14:06 7 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): puncture
24.06.2022 13:06 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am driving and trying to improve the car. I am not happy at all and I am fighting hard to at least be able to get some good times. There's not much more we can do at the moment.
24.06.2022 12:06 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am struggling as well with the drivability of the engine. We are going to work on the settings and try to improve - that's the only thing we can do.
24.06.2022 12:06 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I have no power. Absolutely no power. I have no idea.
24.06.2022 12:06 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am struggling like hell. The car is not driveable in these conditions - with the cleaning I have no grip and it doesn't go where I want. The rally is long, so it's not so worrying to lose a few seconds here and there.
24.06.2022 12:06 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It wasn't a great experience. I am struggling with traction and a lot of wheelspin. I had a problem with my gear shift - it was really harsh. Not a perfect stage, but it's going to be very bumpy here in the second pass.
23.06.2022 19:06 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The real rally starts tomorrow and it's going to be a tough one. We need to find a good rhythm, but at least we were able to kick off the rally with a clean and good run. Tomorrow is a different story.
