Info
SS10
His Fiesta was damaged. Didn't want to speak.
We're happy, thanks to the team, we learn a lot this week-end.
"Difficult rally for us, the car was perfect this morning but we lost rear brakes this afternoon..."
We hit a rock, but we finish the race, we're still happy.
"We did a great race, we won the Citroën Racing Trophy, that was our goal, perfect."
"There is a lot of alert on my dashbord!"
"Our gearbox has broken..."
"Nantet is still in the stage, very slowly..."
Little bit disappointed... I'm not so confident with that Mini. I'll test, maybe, a Fiesta, to compare...
I'm so happy... With my daughter as a codriver... That's amazing.
We are second but Maurin drove really well. I'm happy.
Winning this rally for the second time, I'm really, really happy. It was a great training before Rallye de France.
SS9
"We try to not do mistakes."
"Good rhythm, we had fun in the last part."
"We have soft tyres for the last stage, we expect rain."
I push to the maximum, I can't drive faster.
We'll maximum attack in the last stage for the podium.
"I had a great drive, maybe the best stage for me since the beginning."
"Clean stage, we had fun, all clear. We enjoy."
"It was ok, we have 2 spare wheels at the rear."
SS8
We changed a little bit our setup, it's better, nice stage.
Some problems with his car.
"We had a spin in a very narrow section, but otherwise it was ok."
"We need to finish this rally, for the confidence, the team..."
We had fun in this stage, we don't attack as we did yesterday.
We don't attack so much, we need to preserve tyres.
It looks like I'm ok but this isn't when I see times...
We're attacking, we lost some seconds on the beginning.
"Great run, like yesterday, not bad."
"I like this stage, we enjoy!"
It's easy to make a mistake here, we have to stay on the middle of the road.
SS7
We had a good rhythm, I adapt myself with the pacenotes and the car, we're happy.
Good stage for us, some little mistakes but we progress, that's good.
"I followed Rouillard during the last 7 kilometers, it was really great!"
Puncture in the front right.
Not so happy, the rear of the car seems working bad, looks like I had a puncture but there isn't.
"Rouillard had a puncture. We just need to be careful."
I'm driving well but I don't know... I'm disappointed.
"Salanon is going fast, we try."
We don't take any risks, this is dirty.
"We had fun, some wet parts again, but good stage."
SS6
"We had a big moment, a spin... It was really hot."
"Much better than yesterday!"
"I did a mistake in a corner but otherwise it was great."
I'm ok in fast sections but our tyres are destroyed.
I think it's correct. The stage is very fast!
"I thought I had a puncture."
"We had a spin, we lost some seconds."
"All is perfect, we just need to have a better engine."
Some damages on the front left tyre. "Big trouble with tyres, I couldn't do what I want... We have to change it."
"Not so bad for this first stage this morning."
We tried to be fast, it was ok, we'll see if we did a good time.
"Clean run but this stage was hard for tyres and brakes... We were careful on some parts."
SS5
"It was difficult, the road was dry, wet, dry, wet... But still a very good day for us."
"Engine problem since this morning, we are disappointed..."
"Our main goal was to finish, it was slippery, Lions is in the middle of the road..."
"We had to be careful, it was easy to do a mistake."
"We lost brakes at the end."
We had a spin but it doesn't matter, we really enjoy.
"Lions went off, he was in the middle of the road, crew is ok but we had to stop."
"First time on a wet road but it was ok."
It's ok, we are going faster, good sensations.
"During 8 or 10 kilometers it was very dirty, very difficult even with good tyres."
It's wet before the end, it was great for us but otherwise it was dry...
"I had a spin on the first part..."
"There was a yellow flag 4 kilometers before the end, it was weird."
SS4
Angry against Martinuzzi, he doesn't let pass him. He asks for a two minutes gap but marshalls said no.
"We hit something on the front right."
"I think it was a good run."
"We lost our handbrake... Not easy in hairpins."
We cut our tyres but I don't think it was the right solution.
I don't think our tyres choice is great... We have some oversteer.
"We are still learning! Better than this morning."
"We went straight in a hairpain. Our setup is still the same."
Our tyres are great for wet conditions but it's still dry.
"Clear stage, we have a good rhythm, we change a little our setup."
"It was ok..."
SS3
"I passed Barbara. I was asking for a three minutes gap but I didn't have it. It was dangerous..." Furious against marshalls.
Really angry against Martinuzzi. "We have a 2 minutes gap and we're behind him, again..."
That's better, we fixed our tyres pressure.
Better than the previous stage but I'm not so much confident, we lost the brakes.
"A lot of fun, we are very happy."
"Little bit more difficult, we lost some brakes, we were careful."
"Better than previous stages."
It's very fast, difficult to find a good rhythm.
"We lost the radio between me and my codriver..."
"It was a good stage, still learning the roads... The car is working well."
"I have some trouble with my brake pedal..."
"Great run, not so much risks, the car is ok..."
"We are on a good rhythm..."
SS2
The car is difficult to drive when it's bumpy...
"My brakes blocked, I lost the car and we hit a guard-rail..."
We weren't so fast but I'm really happy, it's better than the Mégane!
"The Max is different than a R3. We saw Gilbert, he went off, the rear is damaged."
"Our new tyres are a little bit weird..."
"Really great run, we only need more power."
"We had a spin, but our tyres choice is great."
We are learning here, it's difficult but funny, with my father as a codriver!
"I try to find my rhythm, little bit wet at the beginning."
"Better than the first stage, our engine is working well again."
Brakes were on fire, he didn't stop.
New stage for us, again, but this isn't bad. Our rhythm isn't as fast as I can do.
"This stage is difficult! Setup is good."
"Great run, we are happy!"
"Some wet parts, not easy for tyres and brakes, but our rhythm is great."
SS1
"Little bit slippery at the end, but ok..."
"We almost went off... We had a spin on the fifth gear."
It's very slippery, but we had good news about these conditions. I made some mistakes.
That's difficult, we're here to learn how to drive with a turbo, I'm too agressive.
"Much wet than expected, I have to adapt myself with the car."
Looks like the car haven't so much power in the climb.
Stage was clear, little bit understeering but it's ok.
"So much wet!"
We aren't with our Porsche 997 (he crashed at Rallye d'Autun), I'm with the 996 and we haven't not so much power.
"We did the last kilometers behind Martinuzzi, we lost a lot of time..."
"Maybe too careful but it was very great!"
It's very slippery, on the recce it was dry, very difficult.
We had problems with power steering, it's too difficult for me, we have to retire.
"We had a puncture on the front left since the middle of the stage."
We have problems with our engine, I'm really angry.
Car was rebuilt just after the race after Terre de Lozère. "The team did a really great job, we are happy."
"It was not bad for a first time on this stage."
"Some parts are very slippery but the stage was ok."
After a gravel rally it's a little weird, but we had a clean run.
The first part is very fast with cold tyres, but it was ok, we don't take any risks.
