Date and time SS Information
21.04.2023 18:04 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a bit better at the end of the day and I am really happy that we had a bit more fun in the car this afternoon. Hopefully we can finish in first place at the end - that would be a great achievement for the team and for us. We have done a decent job, but it hasn't been easy at all.
21.04.2023 18:04 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It felt like the first real nice stage of the day and I had full confidence in the car. We changed a few damper clicks and it felt better, but also the profile is different. Elfyn is pushing and tomorrow will be a huge day as well.
21.04.2023 16:04 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We didn't know what the stage would be like, so we had to guess a bit. I guess Séb was on three softs and one hard which would have been the best choice for this one, but we did the best we could with what we had.
21.04.2023 16:04 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I felt a bit better in the car but we have two softs on the rear and the car was moving quite a lot. The weather is very unstable this afternoon so we have to see, but I did what I could.
21.04.2023 11:04 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's hard. We are trying different set-ups all the time but I just don't get the right thing. It's very similar to Monte-Carlo where the chassis is moving a lot, and it makes the car very nervous. When it's a bit faster I am struggling to control the car.
21.04.2023 11:04 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We are more or less able to follow the times, but I feel like if we had a better car on Tarmac we would be much faster. I could go so much faster but the car just doesn't let me.
21.04.2023 09:04 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): In a chicane I hit the bale and I immediately slowed down. Many, many surprises. We will keep going but if it's going to be tricky like this and hard to drive the car like this all weekend, it wont be easy.
21.04.2023 08:04 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Tough. I was fighting the car through the whole stage. I had a big job to do in that stage. I was kicked around all the time - not easy.
