We now have detailed description of what exactly happened to the point of showing that not only wasn't a Marshall there but they also forgot to place the tape over the road.
Which indeed is a big messup.
I have no idea what the process was up to this, but right now FIA is certainly not covering anything up .

Mistakes can easily be made. But this one indicates there were only a single person (marshall) on the spot.
I would say having at least two marshalls on sight would have prevented the big fail..."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

If

"Apparently, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) had asked Finnish drivers to shut their mouths on the matter." Rallit.fi
"the FIA told DirtFish: “Following an accident involving car 42 (Craig Breen/James Fulton), the stage was red flagged. Very quickly after the red flag, a [civilian] car was identified on the stage." Dirtfish
either lies, misunderstanding or irresponsibility

It is going to be a long long night. There will be the battle for the lead, the battle with the weather, and it seems according to a new Autohebdo article, 'Under (FIA) surveillance, the Rally of Japan could not go to the end!
"While new, less serious and non-safety incidents still plagued the event, the college of commissioners decided to place the organizers under the threat of a definitive stoppage of the rally if another problem were to occur on Sunday."
