Information
Date and time SS Information
31.03.2024 17:03 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I tried, to be honest if you ask me where I get this motivation from? I don't know, but it's in there. Once more, the luck wasn't with us this weekend but the team worked really hard to fix the car this weekend and we worked hard to get to service. If the points are good? We'll see. But we pushed hard.
31.03.2024 17:03 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was good, it was a good stage. For me it was good.
31.03.2024 17:03 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Stones like this gestures! Impossible to avoid them. I don't know where they come from. I slowed down to get the car back.
31.03.2024 17:03 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): At one point I lost the wheel I thought we had a puncture, I quickly realised we didn't so I kept pushing. It's crazy in there, lots of stones. We need to have a good run through.
31.03.2024 01:03 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We're gonna keep fighting, we will not stop and give it our very best. Not our day today. I don't know the issue we'll see back in service.
31.03.2024 01:03 12 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): no comment
31.03.2024 01:03 12 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): driving only in EV mode
31.03.2024 01:03 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know, I don't know, absolutely nothing to say.
31.03.2024 01:03 11 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): stopped in stage with fuel pressure issues, continue
31.03.2024 01:03 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Hell of a stage. I had a clean run through but with the muddy places in the beginning it can be really scary. Around 7-8km before the end we drove over a stone so we took it really steady.
31.03.2024 01:03 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a good run.
31.03.2024 01:03 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Was a good stage. I tried to keep it in the middle of the road and enjoy the drive. I got the message about Evans' puncture when we passed the finish line. The day is long, so we keep going and then we'll see.
29.03.2024 22:03 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am happy with my stage, but it's cleaning a lot. In all of the junctions I am losing time. I tried to push as much as I could but it was a challenging day - obviously the puncture made us lose a lot of time.
29.03.2024 22:03 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had a huge moment in there... A tightening flat right and over a bump I completely lost the steering wheel. By the time I caught it back we went into a ditch on two wheels - luckily we saved it!
29.03.2024 21:03 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It felt good. Thank you to the guys, they did an incredible job to fix the car that well. There was lots of cleaning, nothing I could do more. At the same time I was trying not to overheat the tyres too much.
29.03.2024 21:03 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay, better than I thought. Luckily we had the dust masks and the windscreen somehow stayed clean, so I kept good visibility. That's what this is all about.
29.03.2024 21:03 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Puncture. I don't know where, but very early into the stage.
29.03.2024 20:03 3 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): puncture
29.03.2024 20:03 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): This first stage is a reminder of how hard it's going to be this weekend. I was struggling with a lot of understeer through there and once we got to the downhills I was really struggling. It's really difficult in there.
29.03.2024 20:03 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It will be a challenging event. Our fingers are crossed that, this time, we get through without any technical problems or mistakes. I think we are well prepared and I am feeling good in the car, so it's always good to start a rally like this.
