Information
Date and time SS Information
30.06.2024 18:06 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): To be honest, it was a really disappointing weekend for us. We knew before we came it would be difficult, we kept the motviation really high. A lot of setbacks but we knew we needed to come here and manage our race. I want to say thank you to the team for the reliable car and thank you for the good teamwork.
30.06.2024 18:06 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Obviously in the position we are it is a bit risky to go faster. It is the approach I feel most comfortable with at the moment. A few places we could've gone a bit faster, but had to take care of the tyres in there.
30.06.2024 13:06 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I give my best. It's just challenging when you are cleaning the whole first day, it's hard to work on the setup of the car. There is a lot of things we need to work on for the next event, which will probably demand even more. It is what it is.
30.06.2024 13:06 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I couldn't do Tänak's time! I had a good stage, I follow my rhythm. I can't do more at the moment. It's definitely a good time from Tänak and I think I should be close to the fastest.
30.06.2024 13:06 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The drive was good, but I missed one corner on the braking and the surface was slick. I lost a good second. Other than this it was a cool run, I enjoyed it. The tyre choice was the right one. It is still cleaning quite a lot, especially on the braking on the junctions and the exits. A good compromise.
30.06.2024 13:06 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Everything is okay, massive cleaning in there. I guess we will lose a bit too much time but it was a proper stage. Full of gravel, no line, it was a disaster.
30.06.2024 13:06 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I paced the rhythm, we expected a bit more from the morning. It wasn't enough, I should have pushed a little bit harder. In the position I'm in it is risky. Had a better stage in here. It's not a disaster so let's hope for the best.
30.06.2024 13:06 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): A decent morning, not perfect but we had a clean run through. We caught one position, there is one more to catch so we're gonna go for it. We're gonna do some setup changes and see if we can get the speed.
30.06.2024 13:06 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I'm driving fast, but it is very hard to say how hard you can push. New stages, new pace notes. There is no reason to take unnecessary risks. We went once up a bank, it was a wrong pace note. We're gonna check that.
30.06.2024 12:06 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I will be not capable to catch Fourmaux, Munster. It was a lot more cleaning than there on the previous stage, we struggled with the car a bit in there. I changed the setup a bit and it's not worked.
29.06.2024 16:06 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay, not too bad to be honest. We can go a little bit faster, but I just followed my pace notes and had a clean run through. Let's see if we can catch fifth, this would be a good result.
28.06.2024 19:06 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a challenging day to be honest. One of those days where you ask yourself 'why?'. It is what it is. We are happy to be in the lead of the championship. We have to open the road, when you see other drivers go faster than you it is frustrating. We did all we could today, one mistake cost us 2.0sec but other than that it's fine.
28.06.2024 16:06 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I tried to push as much as I can, the position with [Kastuta] is really important for tomorrow. I did what I could. The other drivers can come and do such good stage times and we have to fight so hard, but we'll see what we can do.
28.06.2024 16:06 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The tyres are okay on this stage. Only a few cars went through, so a lot of cleaning. Fastest stage of the rally I believe, you get a bit of a handicap with the cleaning. It is the cleanest stage of the day for me today, so I enjoy. The next one will be a disaster, we will keep driving our rhythm, it has been a good speed today so we'll see for the road position tomorrow.
28.06.2024 14:06 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay. Still lots of cleaning, the 2WD cars in front make it so difficult but we did what we could, off to the next one. Much more abrasive.
28.06.2024 11:06 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I have a problem with the handbrake, every time I pull the handbrake I lock up the four wheels. And then the cleaning obviously. We knew it was the worst stage of the loop from the recce, but we didn't know how much we would struggle.
28.06.2024 11:06 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's much faster, I struggled a bit less with the cleaning. I never know what will be the grip, sometimes it is gravel, sometimes it is dusty asphalt. It is difficult to judge the grip. We will take it stage by stage and keep a close lid on everything, that is the target.
28.06.2024 11:06 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's massive cleaning in there, compared to the recce it is a completely different stage. It's much drier, it was very humid during recce. It is very big grip, 5cm, quite loose. No chance.
27.06.2024 22:06 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's gonna be crazy for sure. First car on the road won't be easy but it's a challenge we have to face and I am looking forward to it. It looks like it could be fun.
