- Elfyn Evans led FORUM8 Rally Japan by 1min 49.9sec overnight after extreme conditions in Friday’s opening leg caught out several of his FIA World Rally Championship peers.
Torrential rainfall, thick fog and roads covered with damp leaves were just some of the challenges faced by crews on the first full day of action at the 2023 season finale. Survival was the aim of the game and, while several of his rivals faltered, Evans barely put a wheel wrong.
A minor overshoot in the second stage of the day did not prevent the Welshman from reaching the lunchtime service halt with 26 seconds in hand over Thierry Neuville, his main competition for the runner-up spot in this year’s drivers’ championship.
Neuville, winner of the 2022 event, responded in the afternoon by slicing Evans’ advantage by more than half with a blistering run through Isegami’s Tunnel 2. But his comeback was cut short when he crashed his Hyundai i20 N Rally1 into a tree on the first corner of the following test.
The Belgian wasn’t the only driver to be caught out by the conditions and joined team-mate Dani Sordo as well as M-Sport Ford Puma hotshot Adrien Fourmaux on the retirements list after both drivers left the road at the same location in SS2.
Evans was left clear at the top of the standings and, with two of his Hyundai rivals sidelined, headed a GR Yaris podium lockout for Toyota Gazoo Racing.
Leading positions after Friday:
1. E Evans / S Martin GBR Toyota GR Yaris 1h 25m 22.7s
2. S Ogier / V Landais FRA Toyota GR Yaris +1m 49.9s
3. K Rovanperä / J Halttunen FIN Toyota GR Yaris +2m 6.6s
4. A Mikkelsen / T Eriksen NOR Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 +3m 0.2s
5. G Munster / L Louka LUX Ford Fiesta Rally2 +3m 5.0s
6. N Gryazin / K Aleksandrov Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 +3m 29.6s

With several drivers crashing today, we wonder who you think will go on to win the rally on Sunday?
Things would be a lot more fun if the top class cars weren't so absurdly expensive
Tanak & martin I guess, i hope they are consist
2:58 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@user-cu7ro5dz2l3 minutes down is unlickley
The person who completes the course in the least time?
Hey Red Bull Rally, you guys should take over the official WRC Channel. You guys do a much better job than WRC itself.
this. Got the vibes from early 2010s I like this over official channel
So true RB and Netflix needs to make a WRC series to get folks in the USA into it, call it Survive to Drive!
They basically are the WRC, not many cars that don't contain some sort of red bull sponsorship
Redbull is the Promoter of the WRC, they own it
@@anydaynow01 There's the American Rally Association, and a few other places trying to make it more popular in America.
The double crash in the same river was crazy! The conditions these drivers have to go through, massive respect
Triple. Don't forget Katsuta crashed there too.
Even knocking over a cross, so it seems to be tricky and dangerous there.
The two cars parked side-by-side makes for an incredible image
@@pocketpc_yeah and the colours were amazing
The second car driver must have freaked out when he saw another car,he must have been hoping there weren't any people in the way
Of course another fear would have been a river or flooded pond due to rain.
Crazy to see how stressed out the drivers are at the end of the stage, you can really tell they have put it all on the line
True. Tanak looked liked he'd rather be anywhere else after his stage.
Tanaka almost couldn't dpeak
The really crazy thing is, the total stage distances are way shorter than they once were. In the 80’s drivers had to keep the adrenaline flowing all day with little respite.
Well that and probably because they're all on amphetamines
yeah no shit
2:59 Here you can see 2 WRC Cars in their natural habitat. Being to exausted from driving the whole season they decided to take a break and drink a sip from the local river.
2:57 Looks like those cars have great time, quietly hanging out in the river
They have just stopped running and started practicing Zen.
It’s a great camp site, easy access. Difficult to leave, really sucks you in
They're in conditions where a normal person would be creeping along the road, except they're doing 100+kph the whole time. Absolutely wild
Redbull with a neat recap. Shame rally is so badly presented by its owners, as seen in this edit it’s a fantastic sport
Redbull are the owners,
@@tobi8222owners are fia
If only WRC returned to the 1990s glory days
Absolutely brutal rally, this. Almost rivals the Safari.
We certainly don't envy the drivers out there in those conditions!
Driving with zero visibility and still finishing in one piece. These lads are crazy
3:07 That’s why every car in Japan has an air conditioner, not only to make it cooler or warmer but to defog quickly😅
4:00 The narrow eerie tunnel , Isegami Tunnel, is locally famous for the rumor of ghosts. You’ll feel as if it goes narrower and narrower as you run forward.
すごい霧、こんな道でアクセル踏めるだけで尊敬する
Very happy to see Taka taking stages in his home rally, fingers crossed for a real Cinderella story and him winning the whole thing.
And on a more negative note, not so sure if Rally Japan is worthy of being the season finisher. It deserves to be on the calendar for sure, but the season should end in an absolute BANGER, not the slowest and techiest race there is
I've always loved watching the rally driving. These guys are without doubt the most talented drivers on the planet. You can see there eyes wide open sucking in as much info as possible, crazy.
Always love to see taka pulling out all the stops, seeing him pull a handful of stage wins especially at his home rally and to finish off the season is perfetto 👌
I really hope we get to see a championship battle in Rally Japan one day, with night stages and optimal weather conditions.
What an incredible stage. The Japanese know how to put on a spectacular motorsport event.
redbull recaps are awesome thank you!
Japan has been such a great addition. One of my favourite
The two cars on the river are a certified "Hey Ron" "Hey Billy" moment
I can't imagine driving while your windshield is all fogged up; let alone at that speed.
This is why WRC Driver are the best drivers in the world
Well I never, a Welsh guy best at driving in torrential rain🤔
😂 Way to go👍
I'm liking the format and rallying seems interesting again the stages in japan looks cool
Rally , absolutely love it!
Such beautiful roads, such beautiful racing. TONS of skill here.
This video is 100x better than the official wrc commentary and footage
The fact Red Bull covering all of WRC better than WRC themselves is amazing. Thank you Red Bull!
Red Bull does the recap better than the WRC
Cool tunnel ! First time i see this in WRC
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing🇯🇵🗾🇬🇧🇫🇷🇫🇮🇯🇵🇮🇪がんばれ❗️
The i20 and the Puma down in the river gives me unrecoverable A70 Supra vibes
今年もしっかり心霊スポット走ってるなぁ。
The F1 Las Vegas FP2 video claimed that "the world's best drivers" were tackling the track.
Seriously, watching this Friday Rally Japan recap, and you realise the F1 comment is just spin.
The Japanese weather forecast channel "Weathernews" was right. There were indeed hazardous conditions in Hokkaido during Rally Japan.
Taka-san never went off the road, but he hit a tree with the right front fender and radiator, when he had to pull the handbrake and spin to avoid going off and into the creek. 😎👍
Better highlights than the official WRC channel lol
Seen this happen in the Rally of Qld. Rained mid stage on downhill hard right. Six cars went off the road. Was a long time between cars at our SOS point.
So sad that the WRC promotor sucks so badly. Maybe a PR machine like Red Bull can make WRC great again?
Sports are always going to be built on watching it live. That's always going to be a problem with non-circuit races. You can only stand in one spot and watch the car zoom by.
@@sashamugsetc used to be much more popular and it wasn't on a circuit then. The main problem is lack of manufacturers. But the speed isn't great either, Taka going into the trees and limping to the end was far more common 20 years ago. It seems now that the slightest off can destroy the car. Takes the fight out of it.
So sad for Taka. I have no idea how disappointed he must be. But I have such high hopes for the next season. It's like he unlocked his full potential in this rally.
Rally Japan is my favorite.
*Driving a Ford in Japan is like eating a supermarket frozen pizza in a gourmet restaurant.*
I realize that the cars need to be lightweight, but why sacrifice the ability to reduce windscreen condensation? Am I missing something in the rules of rally car?
my guess is they just didn't anticipate *this* much water
2:57 those two cars just sitting there in the riverbed at the same corner just doing a little chat over a picnic in the rain
This is so freaking awesome, imagine racing with your windscreen fogged up
To avoid fog in windshield, try to wipe it with shampoo or tobacco. Our truck driver (non AC vehicle) has try this trick for a long time and it works.
This may be a dumb question but why do none of their defrosters seem to work? They have them, some are working better than others so what am i missing?
Subaru On My Command Unleash Hell!!!
Surely cleaning pine needles is better than rocks and fesh fesh. Nice close of the calendar though!
hats off to these guys man..
This is what separates the wheat from the chaff. Real rally racing conditions.
Japan is jumping with Matsuri at Ebisu and Wrc at the sime time !
Wish they would bring back the welsh rally
Great conditions
Ya don't see that every day!!!!! They look kinda nice tucked in the forest creek like that :)
I think the new 2024 Toyota GR Corolla is up for the task🏁especially with the GR-Four All-Wheel Drive System.
You'd think these cars would be able to defog a windshield lmao, what a oversight
Insane that they race threw no visibility on tiney wet roads full of leaves but that’s rally🍻
Random Japanese guy comes down the stage with an ordinary Toyota ae86 with no sweat days like this.😅
Rally is scary man damn
What tires for this type of wet?
Those Finns are something else. They’re kinds of every genre of Motorsport.
2:58. You can’t park there mate!
I want to watch WRC race on TV, But How do I never watch the race on TV( what channels is?), Oh few crash and rain, and Good/ crash / rain video
James May having flashbacks at 3:56
Nothing on the screen but still full send. This is rally ❤️💯
wow!
japan knows where to place spectactors
Just call it when the conditions are like this.
"Sir, you CANNOT park your care here"
How the F are people watching F1 and not WRC? This is so much more hard core.
It seems taking the hit to install the A/C components for a defroster would be worth it versus having to drive slower/riskier due to fog on the the windshield.
Tanak had no screen defogger grin
Haha japanese driver knows his home's road conditions XP
'Hey, I don't think you can park there'
Oi! You can't park there! 😂
AC in the car should help with the foggy windshield
The Welsh driver being fastest in damp, foggy miserable weather? No fucking way lol this man was probably born in this weather.
If only they made the Next Initial D as A rally inspired Anime or A Rally focus anime. Imagine that
yeahhh katsuta
pretty fogged up indeed :O
When can we get 30 min episodes
This has aged like fine milk
I guess people don’t know that wet leave can have a lower coefficient of friction than ice 😅
full gas with a fully fogged up windshield is something ill never do 😂
The irony of the commentator 😂
i don't really watch rally and maybe dumb question but do rally cars not have defrost?
Of course the Welsh guy knows how to drive in the rain
I love how they all speak English. Well done gents.
Aha! Just in the nip of time....😊
WRC is really something else in Japan.
Roads?? Where were going, we don't need... Roads.... 😎
No Defoggers in a WRC car ?
Its up to the co-driver to use a towel to wipe down the windscreen so the driver can see!!
💚
Their heater boxes must be crap 🤦♂️ imagine your windscreen steaming up in a car that costs €750k 😅 no heated windcreen even or no rain x anti fog or even some shampoo works
that cut funny
Dang, I was rooting for Taka.
nice
To much rain, this should have clearly been a red flag
