SS1 / SS5 Pawse Kamuy Reverse (9.03km)
A relatively short nine kilometre stage that’s quite similar to character to the stages in New Zealand, and really different to the rest we experience here. The road flows through farmland and is quite open – a wide stage compared to the rest in Japan. It’s fast between slow, long corners.
The road surface is weiter >>

Dani Sordo began the day in sixth overall, but after the day's opening stage, Sordo fell into seventh.

Solberg began the day in seventh, and after moving into sixth, he now finds himself in eighth overall as the field returne weiter >>
BP-Ford World Rally Team ace Marcus Gronholm wants to win Rally Japan, but Sebastien Loeb might have a thing or two to say about that.

The Stobart driver went off th weiter >>

The first stage of the day's afternoon loop had been run three times prior as the second, sixth and twelfth stages which caused rutting to occur.

Even Sebastien Loeb commented on the difficulty of the stage saying that there were rocks sca weiter >>
The fourth contest of the second leg saw Kronos Total Citroen World Rally Team's Sebastien Loeb capture the rally lead from BP-Ford World Rally Team's Marcus Gronholm. Gronholm completed the stage noticeably off the pace, dropping a large amount of time due to a spin during the stage.
Stobart VK M-Sport Ford Rally Team's Matthew Wilson suffered problems again. Wilson went weiter >>
In theory brakes should not be a problem on Rally Japan, temperatures are not too high and whilst the stages are a combination of fast sections broken up by tight and twisty stretches, there should be sufficient time for the brakes to cool down. Therefore it comes as a surprise to hear a number of the top drivers complaining or showing concern about their brakes.

The first day of Rally Japan had a familiar feel to it. It started wet and Marcus Gronholm and Sebastien Loeb made the early running, with Mikko Hirvonen right behind them and Petter Solberg looking strong until he suffered mechanical problems. Just like in Finland, two weeks ago.
