The FIA says that the WRC RallyJapan finale can continue - after a member of the public drove onto the course in a safety protocol breach. Full story ⬇️
A car driven by a member of the public managed to enter Stage 4 on Friday, which was encountered by WRC2 drivers Sami Pajari and Emil Lindholm, before the stage was red-flagged.
The Clerk of the Course explained that a vehicle had entered the stage at a junction that was taped off but not manned by a marshal. "The public vehicle travelled past a marshal who relayed that the public vehicle was in the stage to the preceding marshal who, with the assistance of a photographer, was able to have the car removed from the stage as quickly as possible.
"It is highly unlikely that the tape was removed and then wrapped around the post by anyone after it might have been previously taped across the road.
