[WRC] FORUM8 Rally Japan 2024

What a shame.. It is over for Hyundai. Can't imagine being Tanak now..

[Tauri_J]

Surely looked like a wrong note. Ott stopped turning mid corner

[EstWRC]

Kovalainen off at the same corner

Congrats to Thierry. This World Chamipnship win was fully-derseved.

It's not over for Hyundai yet. If may calculations are correct they need just 5 more points on Sunday overall than Toyota to win it and Neuville can push like hell now.

With that loss, Toyota is currently ahead in manufacturers.

Up by 4 if I’m right (if Evans and Ogier goes to the finish)
But Neuville can now put maximum attack and Mikkelsen has good road position (but some issue with the car)

Let’s see what happen but it’ll be maximum attack now

So happy for Neuville
Finally, Thierry, finally you're world champion! Damn well deserved.
Now let's enjoy the battle for the manu title.

By five (549 vs 544) but I am not sure what happens to Saturday points now that Tanak is out (I assume they stay as is and not move up).

Mikkelsen and Neuville can attack, that is true but so can all Toyotas. Admittedly Hyundais have much better road position but on the other hand, both of their cars must finish whereas Toyota can afford to lose one as Saturday points alone guarantee great haul for them.

[NoFear85]

Toyota is now 8 poins ahead of Hyundai (554 vs 546). You have live points on official website.

After the crash he said “there was nothing” and I think he meant with that the gravel crew had nothing in the notes

He hit the slippery part on the right and after that was history

Makes sense
