It really doesn't get any more dramatic than this! But it's game on in the manufactures as currently the standings are TIED between Hyundai and Toyota 🇯🇵

I'm just glad the crews of both cars are okay. Those cam footages were brutal. I'm sure Tänak is bummed out, but at least he's okay. You live to drive another day.

What's crazier still is if we were running last year's version of this stage, this crash wouldn't have happened because it's past the old finish line.

[ondraspendlik]

It feels like it's becoming a tradition of Rally Japan where 2 cars end up crashed in a stream in the same place.

THANK YOU for covering this, and including the other car!

[FangSays]

Man what an excellent video, so well explained it felt like I was there. Good knowledge, contagious energy 🏁🇿🇦

[donswier]

Dirtfish amazing detail of the drama unfolding👍
Down to the wire, indeed🇯🇵.
Toyota vs Hyundai this Sunday!

Got to visit those less populous rural Japan areas this summer. Beautiful country & people.

Reminds me of last year. Just a full year ago in the same rally two drivers slid into a massive ditch right next to each other, and the same has happened again.

The GOAT, THE GOAT Colin Clark 🐐 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Slight difference between rally cultures, here in Finland there's a warning before the corner if the first crashed car can not be taken off the ditch.
It can be one of the drivers who indicates to slow down or a safety triangle at visible place. I'm not sure was there any of these but likely not...

[LooNeYlv]

Thank God that there was enough time difference between these crashes. And it wasnt next or after that car... 🙏 Stay safe

[bk]

thankfull both crews are some one who works car wrecks that is one of the best break downs of a MVC ive heard in a long time

[pengdu]

oh that ditch with that bank at the en doesn't take prisoner

[bassdrumming]

Nice explain.
What on this section happened to them?
I understood easily, thanks.

[ScuderiaTurini]

Great stuff Colin, very in depth analysis.

[johnpatricklim]

if you look at the Hyundai....the area around the driver and passenger...thet is not much damage....credit to the modern structures on the car...

[panvar]

wanted Tanak to win this...
Happy for Neuville he deserves that after all these years of career!

[markkulehtinen]

Glad both driver teams are ok. I understand Tänäk's co-driver was very close when Kovalainen drove off.

[alisonsmith]

Thanks dirtfish for all your efforts this year, , I’m at the wrc Portugal mid may next year really looking forward too it

[shaunsebata]

Strange that two cars fell down the same spot last year. And the same thing happened this year. That's Rally for you.
