Rally Japan 2022

[WRCStan]

I still don't understand why rallit.fi or DF should apologize.

I don't think they should either and I'm not calling for them to. I said if they were making quotes up in people's name, they should apologise.

The FIA Steward's report clearly shows that what Dirtfish said that the FIA said, cannot possibly be true: "Very quickly after the red flag, a [civilian] car was identified on the stage."

We could be open to these two events are not related because sequentially it's true, but why say it.: "Following an accident involving car 42 (Craig Breen/James Fulton), the stage was red flagged."

Either the FIA attempted to cover this civvy car up early on before realising they couldn't, something was lost in understanding through various people at the FIA, something was lost in understanding with media, or something is lost on me.

Weird how Japanese people who are so hard working and well organized, organized this mess.

Organizing a world wrc rally(or another world class event) is very different thing.
See Greece with Olympics and Acropolis.

In any human endeavour the first reports/articles almost never describe exact sequenece of events.

It is only lately that many people think it's because of some conspiracy.

Many years ago media wouldn't release any info until everything is confirmed. These days people write anything they heard first and (sometimes) correct afterwards.

Maybe it's a sign that stereotypes are, you know, stereotypes. It's not enough to be a country considered well organized to automatically be able to organize a certain event.

As it looks in service parc and on radar for Aichi no rain in at least next 2 hours... But we will see how things develope - I keep fingers crossed for first Elfyn's win in this 'new' cars and momentum rising up before next season for Welsh.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Big day for Elfyn Evans. A win for Toyota on their home rally would be huge for them and cement his place in the team.

[jcevc]

Interesting tyre choice - H's with 2 2 2 mix, Toyota without rain tyres, except Taka with 1 rain tyre. Kalle 5 hard
Msport clearly expecting rain.

[WRCStan]

Seb slammed Pirelli again in morning service. Said they're an absolute joke and it's a shame nobody will have the conversation because they're the sponsor and he's glad he's not fighting for the championship.

[Sergiow]

Seems a big day for Hyundai too. A victory would not only mean beating Toyota on home soil but also the highly symbolically victory of being Asian's number one. And maybe a victory here might cement Hyundai stay in WRC if there might be some doubt about it as already voiced by that Solberg kid

When you look at windy.com it says a little rain for the whole region 1-3mm but up to 7-10mm just as around SS17 when it starts
