Yes, very funny, in 2004 (1st WRC Japan) the spectators where taken by 50 busses to the spectator point.
With the well known Japanese way they all walked from the bus to the open area which the spectator point was. They all got comfortable for the passing of the first cars when a bear came out of the woods.... (must have smelled the food )
Light panic from the spectators , what to do ? They have to stay inside the marked spectator zone.... but the bear must have thought to much noise and people and he turned around and walked back into the forrest...
But that was when the event was in Obihiro, now it is near Sapporo but still near the stages plenty of bears....

If I remember right RUFA Sport team must do 1 extra rally, because of late entry to serie. (PG was in Sweden, but RUFA Sport team wasn´t)

So Prokop can score for Barwa team but not for himself?

Maybe, maybe not...
If he skips France or Wales he can score in Japan, but somebody must drive for Czech Ford National Team in France or Wales...

[Mirek]

He will skip Wales.
