As far as I understand the regulations a 2nd place in Japan is also enough for Pajari to clinch the title, even if Rossel wins CER.Quote:

Pajari would win the championship because he has beaten Rossel twice with wins in Sardegna and Acropolis in his 3 events where he was directly battling Rossel.
I.e. if Rossel wins CER he most probably needs Gryazin and Greensmith beating Pajari in Japan or more likely Pajari to get problems or crash.
Well, dirtfish says the oppositeQuote:

Well, you may be right but I find the regulation not totally clear.
Let’s hope we won’t have this situation.
So basicaly since Gryazin have two more outings he could also be there to help. This battle will be interesting for sure till the end.

Rossel is now 12th in WRC2 with a 15-minute loss.
Well, it was already almost over after yesterday but now, it’s officialQuote:

Considering Solberg’s behavior these last few months, I would clearly prefer Pajari to win… but I hope there will be a proper fight so at least two good drivers against him in Japan so that he has to fight at least a bit for 2nd position.
Greensmith will be in Japan as he said himself.
Gryazin highly probably also (even if Rossel not anymore in contention) for the Challenger title
Maybe Toksport will also bring someone else with Greensmith.
That's how it ended:

Guys, is it true?

Oliver Solberg says he doesn't go to Japan:
"I don't think I will be in Japan, I will lay on the sofa. For sure the pressure is on Pajari now."
Actually, it's a real Central European Rally in WRC2 this year:
1. Russia
2. Czechia
3. Poland
4. Poland
Russia is not Central Europe
Dangerous moment for Kajto (but he doesn't lose his good mood) :)

Maybe she is going to concentrate more on co-driving for Latvala and it doesn't suit with Pajari's plans..?Quote:

It could be that the team does choose a co-driver. Since I wonder why Katsuta have non-japanese one, like there isn't anyone available. He said himself that he sometimes doesn't understand him, when they talk off the stages, but on stages he knows every call he receive from his pal. And interviews also, he jsut smiles like he doesn't have a clue what are they talking about.Quote:
