The stage was not so bad, quite demanding for the tyre. We will try to enjoy the weekend and enjoy the rally in this country.

(39 - Dominguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio):
Quite relaxed to be honest, different kind of pressure now. Happy to be here in Japan, amazing atmosphere. Quite excited for this last round. There is a lot of fans everywhere, on the stages we are being gifted traditional stuff. We have a million different gifts from recce, we are taking home.

It is always nice to drive in front of fans but this is a special one, it is my home rally and some of my family and friends are there, so it is always fun to drive.

I don't know what happened, but not so nice in front of the Japanese fans. It is just stage one, let's have a good feeling for tomorrow. It is incredible. I haven't seen so many fans in a rally event, they gave us a lot of energy.

I'm doing good, I love it. It is a beautiful country. We are very fortunate to have a WRC race here, they are so hospitable, so clean.

(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron):
Super special feeling, nice to see all the fans here, my friends and family. It will not be easy, but I will try to do my best. I am still waiting for a message from Jari-Matti to push. I don't know when it's coming so let's see. Thank you to Red Bull for my helmet.

(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn):
We are counting down the stages that is for sure. The biggest ones are coming, the objectives are clear for the week as a team. It is good to see everybody motivated and quite relaxed. Everyone is going to do their best for the team but also for the drivers' title. Once the rally started it is probably even easier to manage the stress. It will be a challenging weekend for us but we need to keep concentrated and do the job.

(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott):
I'm not sure how much of a build-up this is for tomorrow, nice to do, we look forward to tomorrow. The reception has been incredible so far, it's very nice. A repeat of a win last year would be great.

(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre):
We had so many quotes with Fast & Furious, I couldn't come to Tokyo without the strip lighting. I've seen we crossed the line before Ogier, we will see what the rally brings.

(9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein):
It was empty of fuel, started stopping and with half a lap to go it was stopping. I had to drive right to left to keep the fuel. We almost didn't reach the finish line.

It's great to see so many fans, also nice to have such a stage where you can fight with someone else. It is always amusing. Previous year we were way too soft but we got it right this time.

(21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin):
I was feeling nice, not difficult to push on this stage because of the concrete. The roundabout was nice, that jump was easy and you don't have to worry about damaging anything.

(20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni):
Quite nice. Not really perfect drive but the grip was much better than expected, I could have pushed a bit more but it is fine. Maybe not so much pressure I would say, but there is always some pressure no matter what rally you are about to do, it is normal.

(23 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo):
It's amazing to be in Toyota stadium, driving a Toyota in Japan so we try to enjoy as much as we can and just have fun. It will be very challenging, it is my first year here so I don't have experience. I saw on shakedown it is very slippery, so this will be key on the rally.

It's amazing to be here, what a rally! Can't wait to get stuck into the proper stuff and nice close race with Gus I think. What a rally, what a job everyone has done.

This time is not so bad, but in a left hand bend, I lost maybe two or three seconds! That was not good but the stadium was so good.

We had the engine stop, a few times, it was nothing more. Very open. We'll check.
