Rally legend Tommi Mäkinen, 57, will be seen driving in the Finnish World Rally Championship at the beginning of October.
Mäkinen tells Ilta-Sanomat that he is driving the renowned Harju special stage with a Mitsubishi Lancer. This is a demonstration run in connection with the Harju special stage, which is part of the actual race.

It's pretty much a formality that Rally Japan will be cancelled, at this point. Everything else has been called off.

Why should Ogier be happy if Japan is cancelled?
Ogier should have advantage over Neuville in Japan, likely less than in Monza also.
