As a test event for Rally Japan in 2022, the Central Rally, an international rally held in Aichi and Gifu prefectures on November 12-14, featured official FIA and ASN -certified vehicles and JAF regulations.Two categories are held at the same time, such as "Category 1" and "Category 2" for historic cars.

On the other hand, a number of machines were gathered in category 2 for historic cars, entering fans visiting special stages and service parks.

Among them, the fans were attracting the attention of the fans at Shigeru Hoshino's Lancia 037 rally, and Group B's famous car showed a powerful run on a Japanese stage.It is a Martini color driven by Attilio Vettega, and it can be said that it is one of the longing for Rally fans.

In addition, Lancia Delta driven by Kenichiro Hatayama was a famous car in the group A era, and Ford Escort, which was introduced by Hiroshi Hosomi, Shintaniaga, and Hideto Irikawa, also showed a pleasant sound.Above all, Hosomi's escort is a Rossmands color and has a beautiful finish.

Entranders are also excited to participate in the domestic "Showa car"

In addition, Saito's Porsche 930, Porsche 911 of Takayuki Ishida, and Porsche 911 Carrera of Senboku Ikumaro also attracted attention, and Akira Yamazoe introduced Porsche 914, nicknamed Wagen Porsche.

The Rotus Elan of Kaneko's Lotus Elan and Takagi Takagi's RayLay Elan are also very rare machines, and the rhythmic running of Alfa Romeo Julia, which was introduced by Rover Mini Cooper and Masami Fujita, introduced by Shinobu Kiya, was impressive.。

As mentioned above, we have introduced mainly import cars, but many domestic models that are claimed to be "famous cars" have participated in Central Rally Category 2.Kuniichi Nakamura introduced Nissan Violet and Toshiya Kawai, led by the Mazda Savanna RX7, which was introduced by Nae -Sen -s.

Unfortunately, Yukihiro Fujimoto's Toyota MR2 retired early with Leg 1, but Subaru Legacy, a group A specification of Funaki, ended as a sweeper.

Many of the historic cars are "Showa car" in Japan, so depending on the model, the exhaust is also exploded, and the exhaust gas is also nostalgic, and the eco -cars are hard to worship at present.

Moreover, unlike the touring of the old car, the entry was challenging a fierce time attack, so the action was impressive, such as sometimes performing tail slide, and for Rale Fan, Katsuta's Grand Yaris, Arai Daiki Arai's Subaru WRX.You must have excited their historic cars in Fukunaga's Fabia R5 or higher.

At the moment, although the setting of historic car class has not been announced in the 2022 Larry Japan, overseas WRCs have a historic car rally in many rounds, so the 2022 Rally Japan will be held.I want to expect.
