Why no points system change...???

[AndyRAC]

Seeing as F1 has changed their points system, why haven't the FiA done the same with WRC? Is it so the Championship is kept close (artificially like 2008).

[N.O.T]

i think a points system should aim at pushing drivers to win events and benefiting winners rather than sick kids in order to keep it close.

[pettersolberg29]

I sort of agree. Maybe not to the F1 level as there aren't enough divers in WRC, but how about 15-10-7-5-4-3-2-1?

If they try to get drivers to go faster, then Im all for it.

The FIA invited today by fax heads of teams involved in the World Rally Championship, to advise on a possible change in the grading system in the WRC, which may become effective since the opening race of the competition, the Rally of Sweden, which As we know, goes Thursday to the road. As has been done to Formula 1 the 'proposal' is a score until the tenth ranked, with the same system agreed for the World of F1 2010.

Officials from several teams now have their say until 17:00 tomorrow, Tuesday, and the final decision will be announced on Wednesday. How can you calculate, for the rule becomes effective, all competitors must unanimously agree on the amendment. The proposals relate to all competitions in the FIA World Rally: WRC, PWRC, SWRC and JWRC.

And in your humble opinion, N.O.T., who are the sick kids of WRC? Please enlighten us with your honest and insightful descriptions.

(Could be rather fun, this... )

The aim of doing this is as correct in Rally as in F1, but timing FIA, timing !!!!

Is this Todt starting to act, and getting things done, or is it something they have thought about for 3 months, but forgot to send out .... ?

Lets see what they can do with the tech regs for 2011 - they need to get out soon as well !

It definitely is not the same in rallying than in F1. When should you push like hell to gain a place? Being one minute after? And loose it all.

No the points system is good in F1 when two or more cars are fighting wheel to wheel. Not in rallying as much and I fear that Loeb will win more easily then....

Maybe that´s the way Todt want it to be....?

[Ghostwalker]

Rallyper c'mon now you actually think that 2nd place should get as much points as first place?
Why would any drier risk anything for two points extra?

I would welcome a more rewarding point system.

I agree, victory should be something special and properly rewarded. Thinking about it as bad because it makes Loeb's life easyier is biased. It's not a question of Loeb but a question of making victory worth fighting.
