Epic Recap of Rally Japan 2025!
What a season finale the WRC is delivering! The FORUM8 Rally Japan 2025 was a battle of precision, slippery asphalt, and drama that redefined the fight for the world title.
Master of the Asphalt: Sébastien Ogier
French star Sébastien Ogier (Toyota Gazoo Racing) took a spectacular victory after a high-pressure weekend. Despite the rain
and treacherous conditions on the narrow roads of Aichi and Gifu, Ogier demonstrated his mastery in handling the pressure.
Toyota Battle: Ogier vs. Evans
The fight for the lead was an internal Toyota duel that remained close until the end:
Sébastien Ogier and his co-driver Vincent Landais defended a slim advantage throughout the weekend.
Their teammate, Elfyn Evans, winner of the previous two editions, pushed hard and managed to cut the gap to just 2.0 seconds on Saturday, but had to settle for second place.
Drama and Key Points
Title Fight: Ogier's victory keeps the fight for the WRC Drivers' World Championship alive and a three-way battle, which will be decided at the final event of the season: the Rally Saudi Arabia.
Katsuta's Crash: Local hero Takamoto Katsuta (Toyota) had a brilliant start fighting for the podium, but a crash on Saturday, which resulted in damage to his hydraulic system and more than four minutes of penalty time, ended his dream of winning on home soil
.
The Podium: Adrien Fourmaux (Hyundai) finished in third place, demonstrating good pace on the challenging Japanese tarmac.
Highlights in WRC2 and WRC3
WRC2: Alejandro Cachón secured an impressive victory, his first win in the category.
