Rally Japan, leg 2 is completed, with Mikko Hirvonen in the lead. Dani Sordo is 2nd, while Henning and Cato is 3rd. Petter has been driving fast today, and set the fastest time on 4 of todays stages. After beeing forced to retire yesterday, he restarted today under SuperRally regulations, and has now climbed up to 15th position.

Heavily rain during the night made the stages very muddy and slippery. Xevi Pons was the first to experience how slippery it was and went off the road on SS12, and retired. The next one was Jari-Matti Latvala who slid off the muddy road, hit a three and damaged the front of his car, and had to retire. Sebastien Loeb also slid off the road and ended Rally Japan in a ditch.

Rally Japan finishes tomorrow with 7 stages. First car is on the road at 0706 – local time.
