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.

This must be the first public appearance of Mäkinen since he left TGR. Also interesting that Toyota's "advisor" is driving a Mitsubishi...

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.

Assuming Japan is cancelled, not replaced by Monza. The quicker the season is over, the quicker he's a champion.

If they want to be proactive, FiA/WRC Promoter should be contacting the Monza organisers, and putting them on standby. It's surely only a matter of time before Rally Japan is cancelled. Originally Posted by EstWRC

Munster has announced he will participate in RMC with the Puma. So, it's 3 Pumas for there and more than likely between Sesks and Munster for every round.
