The final tarmac round of the year is once again Rally Japan. The location of our 2024 drivers’ and co-drivers’ championship crowning, this event is a special one for everyone at our team. With some of the most passionate fans on the planet, Rally Japan is based in the mountainous regions of Aichi and Gifu, around three hours from the country’s capital Tokyo. Tyre choice has proved to be crucial to success here, with wet weather and fallen leaves shown to affect grip levels. The tight and twisty tarmac roads are incredibly demanding, and mistakes can be severely punished.
