As a support project for those affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake that occurred on 1 January this year, the Rally Japan 2024 Commission is inviting residents of Ishikawa Prefecture to the FIA World Rally Championship FORUM8 Rally Japan 2024 to be held from 21 (Thu) to 24 (Sun) November in Aichi and Gifu. In addition, a rally school will be held at Tomirai Junior High School in the town of Shiga.
More than six months after the disaster, the affected areas are still in the process of recovery and reconstruction, and the people affected by the disaster are still forced to live under extremely difficult conditions. Against this backdrop, we have planned this event to encourage those affected by the disaster by giving them a taste of the real thrill of motorsport, and to raise the enthusiasm of the affected people for recovery and reconstruction.
