Interesting to see that MacNeall is sitting next to Arai. What happened to Tony?

I arrived home from Thailand, last night.
Downloaded the entry list then and, like you guys, noted the absence of the New Cal equipe and Toshi's replacement co-driver.
I'll head out to the service park on Monday to investigate and report back here!"Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting." Steve McQueen

Well. I made it to the Service Park, today. It's still quite a lonely place with only the Motor Image, MRF, Kumar and Green teams there, so far.
From what I've heard Team New Caledonia won't be seen in APRC again, this year.
As for why Toshi has Glenn beside him for this rally, I'll have to wait till they arrive to find out."Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting." Steve McQueen

Oh, almost forgot. Gill's third MRF Lancer almost made it to Rally Hokkaido. In the end, repairs were not completed in time for it to be sent - understandable if you saw the crash!

Yesterday's leg 1 was a disappointment for Toshi Arai as he and Glenn were unable to block off the fractured brake pipe and continue after SS2. They had just set fastest time over the short SS1! I didn't speak with Toshi but did chat with Glenn who confirmed that this ride was a one-off, but added that he and Toshi had immediately worked well together in the car after a 10-year plus hiatus. While nothing appeared decided between the two the body chemistry seemed to indicate that Glenn, at least, wouldn't mind co-driving more for Toshi whom he described as being fast, easy to work with and very consistent.
Nothing was said about Tony's absence, though someone related to the team speculated that he may be scaling back on the number of non-PCWRC rallies he does with Toshi from this season.
Other points from yesterday:
Weather was fine, still some puddles around from rain earlier in the week.
Nuta's overall time for Leg 1 was 2 secs quicker than Cody's. He is running in the National round at the tail of the APRC runners.
Jussi was not well and was physically sick a couple of times during the day.
Even so he was fastest on the highspeed SS4 and its repeat SS8. Team Manager, Lane Heenan who himself was off-colour earlier in the week, said Jussi seemed better at the final service - too bad he has already given away over a minute to Cody who, as usual, didn't put a foot wrong all day.
