Munster is doing very well today.
Bcs in 1 SS he was not the slowest R1 car? His interviews show some confidence growth, though. That is a good sign.Quote:

What is going on at the start of stage 12, a van coming out against Evans
What is that Nissan truck doing on start line, headed wrong way and blocking Evans?
Evans still not started the stage
Something is fucked up and no info what.
cancelled. wow. congrats japan. ruined the fight for the win.
Nissan involved in WRC manus battle is something I didn't expect tonight.
How the hell can still public cars get on the stage when there is a rally.
Totally unacceptable
if this is NOT Toyota Country....this Rally should be cancelled....boring, they have no control over safety and the timing for most of the fans in Europe is shit....there is New Zealand/Australia, they offer perfect Rallyes....completly useless Rally
Geez, you want Japan cancelled because of timing, but suggest to go to NZ or Australia that have either a worse timezone or the same?!Quote:

Imagine Evans had started and they had come
Together in that corner.
Like I said, unacceptable
Either the local people aren't informed enough, or the punishment isn't hard enough.Quote:

It was always going to be a long shot after that power stage in CER, the only way it won't go to Neuville is if he does a Monte-Carlo/Sweden/Catalunya 2017Quote:

Honestly, Tanak for me is a big favourite for the 2025 title. We don't know the form of Kalle.
I have the same feeling. He has been showing good pace in the second part of the season and the jokers should also have a positive impact on the performance.Quote:

Apart from a big long tunnel, I can't think of a single redeeming feature this event has. Absolutely awful to watch. You can't tell me this is the best Japan has to offer.
What happened to Mikkelsen? Technical issue?
That car in stage is a disaster for rally Japan.
Its a country that the ceo of the railway has to apologize public if the train is more than 2 minutes late.
Errors is not anything they looks easy on.

I'm guessing they are just "saving" the car for sundayQuote:

Well they just signed until 2028…so at least 3 more…Quote:

So 11 points between Neuville and Tänak at the moment in overall.
So basically, Ott needs to win everything tomorrow and hope Neuvillle doesn't acheive any points...better luck next year I guess.Quote:

Could Hyundai tell them both not to push, would that be enough for the manufacturer title?
In any case, I wouldn't be surprised if Neuville has more issues tomorrow, that's just his luck. If he gets a DNF, Tanak will need only 7 points out of Sunday.
If this was happening on another rally besides monte and japan the consequences would be very very bad.

A lot of if''s and but's for tomorrow, but unless Neuville has engine faliure or breaks his steering arm/suspension tomorrow it's hard for me to see him drop the ball on this one, and even if he does, Tänak still needs those 25 (minimum) points, so....I do hope for Hyundai's sake, they get both titles, so if they do decide to retire at the end of '25/'26 at least it's not a clean sweep from Toyota throughout the 2020's.Quote:
