Onboards that keep breaking up, hardly any stage side cameras, 32 entries, either change the venue for Rally Japan or go back to Rally Australia, I’m sorry but this is s**t pardon my french.

Put to that price is 80 Euros per stage for spectators (acc. to people on Discord) as you don´t see any of them on the stages. Crap rally it is. Japan out Australia or New Zeeland in.

One can wish but I don't think it's co-incidence that Japan has a WRC round and that it's held around Toyota City.

I wouldn’t mind if the rally at least would’ve been as good as it was back in 2004-2008,2010 but it’s not even close…At least they’d be rallying somewhere cool around Mt. Fuji or something..but no….

Did Ogier say they have an issue?

Did Ogier say they have an issue?

Ogier after SS5: "A lot of understeer, but all okay."

Did he say "Where you born yesterday?"?

"Were you born yesterday?" + something else I didn't catch.

Taka Katsuta's lack of pace is baffling. Every indicator leading to the event was pointing towards a strong performance - second on the road, confidence from two event wins and a dominant asphalt Toyota.

Yet he looks lost and short on confidence. Maybe the home pressure is a lot more than he lets up. We may find out on Saturday when he runs in supposedly the best place viz-a-viz other Yaris.

Elfyn Evans, though, deserves a pat on the back for playing to his and Toyota's strength. Ten-out-of-ten for his drive thus far.

So results pretty much as expected for the Rally1 teams, but at least Neuville is ahead of Katsuta and within touch of Pajari.

A great day for Evans, very impressive to gap both Ogier and Solberg.

Thanks, how can he be still so fragile?
