Rally Japan 2022

Are they wearing two spares? (Rovanpera for example) Or does Kalle suffer from the hit of the rock?

Edit: so we got the answer from the horses mouth himself: one spare only and some more hit at the front right wheel... Only cruising...

Pajari doesn´t keep up the speed from yesterday, it seems. He had good pace back then, but not on the last two stages.

Wasn't that Pajari's very first appearance on WRC+? At least very very nice that WRC+ is giving play time to a lot of Rally2 cars on SS9. At least they are racing comparing to tourists like Gus and Katsuta

I am not really sure what you are trying to say.

It happens very often that a stage is red flagged quite a few mins later after a crash (first when stage commander gets enough info to make a decision), even though it is the only reason. Usually it takes long when crew is ok and pushes the OK button, but the car is stuck in a dangerous place. (See Lappi getting stuck in Mexico (in 2019?) for massive controversy with that).

My experience with WRC live update and informations is very bad. Except quotes (if they are not missing) and issues visible on all live all informations came too late and usually I have it from different sources. And despite I am not in Japan, I am in contact with some people which are there.

For your info, Breen crashed at 9:37 of local time, red flag was sent 9:47.

Ok thanks for the feedback. My experience is that WRC live updates are very usefull when you are live on stage but if you have other usefull sources then could you share?

Kalle has more problems before SS10

Second day in a row Tänak looks like he can’t wait this rally and season to end with Hyundai finally and be at home

[jonkka]

Seems to be first non-Toyota stage win if Tanak's time holds.

First stage win for Hyundai with Tänak

Interesting that now when the stage was a lot faster Evans and Neuville weren’t so good

[Rally Hokkaido]

Stage interrupted to replace the loose drain grates (covers).

Seems to me like Elfyn is overdriving a bit now, it always goes like this when he's in the lead this season.
