Information
Date and time SS Information
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.
