The route of the Rally of Japan is confirmed

In the short calendar scheduled for the end of the 2020 season in WRC, Rally of Japan (November 19-22) will make its comeback with the honor of hosting a potentially decisive final in the awarding of world titles.

Contested on asphalt, while the previous version of the Japanese event was held on gravel, this Asian round will offer a course of 19 special stages (307,78 km against the clock for 1023,55 km of total distance to cover.

After the traditional shakedown on Thursday (4,78 km long), six SS will be on the menu for the first day, with the highest mileage of the event (Shitara Town to be covered twice totaling 31,64 km), with more than 150 km of competitive sectors from Friday.

The race will end with a relatively brief Power Stage of 8,57 km, at the end of which the winning driver and manufacturer of this decidedly special 2020 campaign could be crowned.
