Which WRC event returned in 2022 with a new base around Nagoya?

Rally Japan returned to the WRC calendar in 2022 with a new base around Nagoya.

The 2022 Rally Japan was held from 10–13 November as the final round of that year’s World Rally Championship. After the event had last appeared as a WRC round in 2010, Japan returned with stages in the Chūbu region and a rally base in Nagoya, while the official rallybase was listed in Toyota, Aichi.

The event used tarmac roads and featured 19 special stages covering 283.27 competitive kilometres. Thierry Neuville and Martijn Wydaeghe won for Hyundai, while Ott Tänak finished second and Takamoto Katsuta completed the classified podium.

The answer is not Rally China, although China has also hosted international-level rally events. Rally Australia was a long-running WRC fixture but disappeared from the calendar after 2019. Rally Indonesia has been associated with proposed or historic championship plans, but it was not the event that made the 2022 WRC comeback in Japan.
