I am and it is super frustrating. We saw yesterday one whole stage and few cars on 2 of the stages. It sucks big time

Kajto off

I have seen the reason of interrupting SS9. People were on the outside of the jump down the road, totally no brain, now Im not surprised at all

While I agree that Katsuta should go, his seat is permanently secure due to national connection between him and Toyota.

I mean this is true but can we cut some slack for Taka? We all know he isnt there for for his performance. Strictly business

OK I'll book the meeting room for Tuesday, and tell him to bring a union rep lol.

Sesks is not entered for manufacturer points, so I think this WRC1-ish drive will not affect his WRC2 "Challenger" status. Do I understand this correctly?

Its getting boring seeing him every rally now. Even the Japanese fans must realise he's just making up the numbers.

I watched onboards from Wieliczki and seems quite similar, vast majority of fans watched rally from responsible spots but there some idiots trusting drivers way too much in tricky, jumpy sections.

This is an extremely poor performance from Katsuta but overall I think you're being harsh on him here. Admittedly his pace is not the main reason for his seat but nonetheless he's had a couple of podiums and last year won 18 stages - Evans only had 6 more. The way some people talk about him you would think he's closer to Serderidis or somebody like Matthew Wilson who didn't get his seat based on pace either!
