Information
Date and time SS Information
04.08.2023 20:08 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a good stage but on the first hairpin I stuck in second gear and had to push the clutch to get speed. Other than this it was a clean run.
04.08.2023 17:08 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Now we have no choice! Obviously Kalle is off, so one of our main contenders is out. Elfyn is one of our main contenders in the championship and we are fighting for the victory. Now we're going to go for it.
04.08.2023 16:08 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We got slowed down, I don't know, 800 metres before the crash. People were waving and I was accelerating and stopping when actually the road was free. It is what it is, I did what I could to be honest.
04.08.2023 15:08 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I stopped at the yellow sign! I was angry with the wipers and I stopped a bit before the finish. In the fast speed the wipers are not cleaning. I couldn't see anything there.
04.08.2023 15:08 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I have no grip. I struggled a lot with the traction and I am losing the car sometimes, I don't know why. Evans and Rovanperä were doing a rally last week in those conditions so they knew exactly what to expect, and I didn't.
04.08.2023 15:08 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is what it is. We tried, we had heavy rain at the start and then it was quite okay for a few kilometres, then at the end it was bad again. And the wipers are really horrible.
04.08.2023 15:08 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage to be honest but it's a bit more technical towards the end and maybe I was just a bit careful in a very fast corner that tightened. I don't know if I am still missing some rear grip - sometimes you lose it and it brings you a bit wide. We need to work on that.
04.08.2023 14:08 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage. I did what I could so I must be happy with it. I struggled a bit to keep the car in the line and keep the speed in some corners.
04.08.2023 14:08 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): My pace notes were a bit slow in the beginning but after two or three kilometres I got into the rhythm and it got a bit better.
03.08.2023 22:08 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We are looking forward. It's a good way to kick it off tonight with such a nice stage in the city centre with lots of spectators. I hope that Jari-Matti is going to enjoy his weekend - we all know how much he loves to drive. It's a great opportunity and I am sure I would be very happy in the future if I got an opportunity like that after retirement.
