INFORMATION ABOUT SS 21
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It wasn't looking so good at one point, but very happy with the result, very happy for the team, thank you to my team-mates also, they did a great job. We're sorry we couldn't deliver one more championship, but we'll try again next year. Little bit of pressure for sure, but that's the name of the game.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I don't know, we need Elfyn to finish to secure the manufacturers' title for Toyota. Nice stage! This is rally for me. Target of the season reached. Next year, I'll stay a bit more at home. As long as I can enjoy rallies like this.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I have to say thanks to the team because it has been a wonderful season for us with five podiums, it has been really good to be back in Rally1 this year, really nice to fight with the guys this year. A really nice fight with Katsuta and Séb this weekend. Thanks everybody, really interesting year for everybody, championship fight till the end. You will know soon about my future.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I really tried from the beginning, then too much pushing in the beginning, I was making mistakes myself. Fingers crossed for Séb and Elfyn. Of course I tried. Very sorry for the fans, I was not able to take the podium this time. But still they are supporting me a lot so big thanks to them and the team. This time I was on the limit. I managed, huge thanks to the team and thank you so much.
flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Yesterday was really positive, today struggling a bit more. Hopefully we get more chances to try to understand and improve for next year. Big thanks to the gravel crew, they had a tricky job and it was their first time in Japan. Big thanks to the boys and girls at M-Sport, couldn't dream of a better team to start with in WRC.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am feeling great to be honest, we worked so long for the championship. Super happy. I don't have the words but I want to thank everybody who was part of it, who fought for us and all the team as well. We were many times very close, we always give it all, but this year we have been rewarded for it.
flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): We were flat out, I went off the road, into the trees back on the road again. I made a mistake, I'm sorry. I hope Thierry is up for it.
(9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): was out of road
flash info (31 - Arai Hiroki / Matsuo Shunsuke): It was really hard, especially Friday and Sunday. Saturday was kinda OK, without any trouble. But Friday and Sunday, unbelievable. Something we have to think about, but really nice experience for sure.
flash info (20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It's really nice, nice feeling. Big relief, after two days of driving a bit slowly, taking care of everything, don't do anything silly and reach the finish line. Thank you to Toyota, to PrintSport, our family, our fans. We did it together, it is not only me and Enni, big thanks to Enni, but the whole team. We did it together. Thank you everyone. I hope to drive some rallies next year, Toyota has been reliable this year so I want to continue on the same path.
flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Really nice, super under control and a great ending to the season. I want to thank everyone involved. Thanks for letting us use the special livery for the event, thanks to Citroën, thanks to family. Everyone as usual, the race comes perfectly. It's my dream still to drive a Rally1 car, so if possible I will take the possibility.
Starting order: Gryazin, Pajari, Arai, Mikkelsen, Neuville, Munster, Katsuta, Fourmaux, Ogier, Evans
