Hi, friends!
WRC Rally Japan didn't start well for championship leader and biggest title contender Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) who has 25 points leader over his team-mate Ott Tanak. There is some electrical problem with his Hyundai i20 Rally1 and he was down on power whole day today.
But he drove safely and finish the day in 15th place knowing that his mechanics will repair the car in the night service today. On the other hand, Ott Tanak is leadimg the rally and he must score big time while Neuville has to retire or finish out of the points to clinch the 2nd title.
Toyota's Elfyn Evans is in 2nd place while M-Sport Ford driver Adrien Fourmaux is 3rd, just 0.1 in front of Takamoto Katsuta (Toyota).
Eight-time WRC champion Seb Ogier is currently 5th overall.
It is also big fight in the manufacturer's championship and it is interesting to follow each stage.
Let the best win - as always...

This is how a rally season should end - great amazing driving from all. Have to admit, even though Neuville is not a favourite of mine, same with Hyundai - I feel for him…. Loosing that much time on the first day…. Ouch that hurts….
