All Japan rally championship 7th stage “2021 ARK Rally Kamui″
2021.07.13 
Date: July 2,2021-July 4,2021
Location: Nisekocho, Hokkaido, Japan
This race was the first gravel race for our team after the third winning in a row. Even though they put up
a good fight, they couldn’t receive the blessing from “Kamui”, the Ainu* god who dwells in this location.
At the first day, Driver Mr.Fukunaga and Co-driver Ms.Saida were the first start, and attacked the race
while checking the condition of gravel-covered course. Due to a the disadvantage of going first and acting
as a gravel sweeper, they lost time and finished 4th place. However, we were hoping for their same
comeback as the previous race Montre. On the final day, they gradually caught up with the third fastest
time in SS6 and SS7, but they couldn’t follow the aggressive competitioon among the top group and also
got the machine trouble in SS12, and finished 5th place in this stage.
They left from this northern land for the time being, we believe they will regain the smile of the Ainu god
at the Rally Hokkaido to be held in September.
*Ainu: indigenous people in Hokkaido, Japan.
