Rally Japan 2022

FFS, here we go again with Michelin Ogier ranting against Pirelli. Get a life man, you are not a worthy champion anymore!

"It's always the same refrain, there's no explanation... We're not going to start the debate. A priori, you shouldn't say anything, it's Pirelli normality. In a year, I've had more punctures than in 10 years at Michelin. There is a problem somewhere but no one is saying anything. Only in Spain and New Zealand have we not had a puncture. C "It's frustrating. Fortunately, I'm not playing for the championship. That would be another story again…", concluded Sébastien Ogier, victim of four punctures in six rallies."

Good training for 3-Städte next year

...I thought the same thing - hopefully they sorted it out.

Cant believe there was a spectator car traveling on a live stage and the opposite direction! Ditch this rally, I cant Even remember how many years they have prepared for this. Totally unacceptable.

The irony when Initial D, which is a touge racer story has a better road management than this..

It happened after Breen crashed and stage got red-flagged.

So yes it is terrible but not completely crazy.

"I reported to my team already from the morning that it was smelling a lot, the car, like fuel, like too much", Sordo said.

"I’ve never seen something like this.

"Yesterday already there was smoke a lot but we didn’t know and also in the stage now we smell a lot and I was a little bit crying because of the smoke inside because it was really like petrol, like fuel.

"After it was going more and more and more and now at one point we see the fire inside the car.

You sure? I read somewhere it got red flagged because of the car and not the Breen crash.

Haven't seen any official news about Sordo.. Is he starting tomorrow?
As Hyundai couldn't tighten gearknob, then maybe asking some help..
Considering M-Sport mechanics' abilities, they could easily restore the car by tomorrow ��
The cage is straight tho..
