[Tongue In Cheek on : TIC]
Thank you Kozmik, exactly what i thought, he's afraid of seeing rallies decided by Saturday afternoon. In his favour, it's understood...
Or could it be that he would be afraid of losing rallies and have Junior even more ridiculed on a regular basis when the current anti Loeb rule ends ? [TIC off]
No, it can't be for a simple reason : he has Latvala hence i don't see why he would question the change.
[TIC on]
Then it must be only for the love of the sport, just like Mr Quesnel's ...

Oh, the anti-Loeb rule! I know what you mean, it's the one that's stopped him winning these past few years.

thanks to an advantageous road position? I'd rather have rallies that are decided already on the second day and knowing that the best crew won
then to have rules then penalizes the leader of the rally and or championship. Its the same bull as when touring car championships add weights to the
winners of the races.
What would it be like if FIA decided that the leader of the F1 WDC should start from the middle of the grid just because he is leading the championship?
Another option would be to have some sort of qualification stage. The better time on it, the better start position....Funny how ev'rything was roses when we held on to the guns...

In this article, Petter suggested the right thing to do after the final stage of every leg is to have "a hat with pieces of paper with numbers. Each driver will step ahead and take one. Those numbers are the running order of the next day. If you take, for example, number 3, you'll be third on the road and so on". It's more like a gamble. Fair enough, equal luck to everybody. Sometime it will be good for the front runners, sometime it wont.

I think another way would be to make the final stage of the first two days a power stage, rather than the last day. That way with points on offer you force people to drive competitively.

Almost all stages are run twice, 1st in the morning, 2nd time afternoon. With the second time a lot more honest conditions. Why not save the second loops for day 3?
R.I.P. all WRC heroes
You're a 100% right. FIA should rattle the manufacturer's cage. Take the compromise or go. Rally 1s are dead in the water. If manufacturers don't agree, make Rally 2s as they are now the top category...
