Information
Date and time SS Information
19.03.2023 20:03 23 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I did what I could. Tänak was on two soft tyres I think, so maybe he was able to take a slight advantage from that. All weekend we have been on the limit and it was really exhausting towards the end. I hope we are going to end up in second place.
19.03.2023 18:03 22 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I continue pushing. We won't give up. Elfyn has been fixing his car - he touched something and damaged his suspension in the previous stage. He is going to have to be brave to go flat out and risk everything.
19.03.2023 18:03 21 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage to be honest. There were a couple of rocks where I had to slow down, and at the end the time can't be so good. I did what I could with the grip we had - it was really low.
19.03.2023 18:03 20 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's going to be an intense fight. I could really feel my body warming up through the stage because you have to fight with the car in the ruts! I had a puncture in here yesterday so I was a bit more careful today with the rear tyres in the ruts.
19.03.2023 02:03 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I attacked maybe a little bit more this afternoon to try to get closer to Elfyn and it worked out quite okay. Unfortunately on the penultimate stage we had a puncture and we lost maybe two seconds. We are definitely going to go for it. We have tried hard all weekend and we are now in the fight for P2.
19.03.2023 02:03 18 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): puncture
18.03.2023 23:03 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I tried! I am on the edge everywhere but I struggle to make big gaps. We did a lot of changes to the car in service and we did some more now. Let's see.
18.03.2023 22:03 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I thought it was better than this, to be honest. I had a very good run through the stage and I expected a big gap already to Kalle. It won't be enough like this for the weekend, but we'll keep going.
18.03.2023 19:03 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The target is to go as fast as possible but we have to be clever as well - we need to keep the car on the road. I tried to manage the speed in here but it's not easy. The grip is changing all the time.
18.03.2023 15:03 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The stage was okay, but the grip near the end was quite low and I was maybe a bit careful there.
18.03.2023 01:03 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I have been working on the car. We had a broken front left driveshaft boot and we were afraid the driveshaft was going to break because most of the grease was gone. We were having to repair it after every stage and we are lucky to be here.
18.03.2023 00:03 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The rear-right damper was completely blocked, but on the road section we got it free again and it was working okay in here. There is a lot of cleaning in here and we need to be prepared to lose a lot of time.
17.03.2023 23:03 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know... I had something strange on the rear and I can't control the car since the previous stage. Probably the damper has been damaged. It feels like the rear is really stiff and it's not working anymore.
17.03.2023 22:03 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): To be honest, I had a really good run. No mistakes, very clean, trying to manage the tyres all the way along. I thought the time would be better than that. I am surprised.
17.03.2023 18:03 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Not a good morning for us. The driving was very good but we got caught by a big bump in the road which wasn't there in recce and we lost the hybrid, so we struggled in all the uphills.
17.03.2023 17:03 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): A bump came as a surprise and I thought we were going to go off. It's in a really fast section but luckily we are here and the car is working more or less.
17.03.2023 16:03 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I saw Tänak stopped somewhere. After that the road conditions were even worse. From the driving side I think we had a very good stage, but I felt we were missing some traction. We need to improve on that side to be able to go faster.
17.03.2023 03:03 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We know it is going to be tough for us but we need to make the best out of it and stay in contention for a good final result.
