    World Rally Ranking

    So finally the rally world has something similar as world football ranking or ATP ranking in tennis - World Rally Ranking. The results that count are taken from WRC, ERC, IRC and national championships. The most points drivers can get in WRC (coefficient 15), then IRC (coeff. 14) and ERC (12). In national championships the coefficient is only 3.

    Currently the highest ranked drivers are not surprisingly Loeb and Ogier. But third is Juho Hanninen, thanks to his successes in IRC. In my opinion this whole idea is quite interesting, although Matthew Wilson in 9th place is a disgrace to all talented drivers of the world.

    The best rally country is... France? Finland? No! Italy. All thanks to numerous international successes of such drivers as Rossetti, Basso, Fontana and Andreucci. Czechs are second and Finns third. Poland is currently sixth rally force in the world

    All statistics lovers, enjoy the ranking:

    Kimi is ranked 19 and PGA 21, fast Freddy 22. This list must be a joke.

    lol, amusing reading again, especially the Italy best in rallying, quite an achivement from a country that has not produced absolute top drivers since Sandro Munari.
    Maybe this is Rally humor.

    Biasion was ok, but I get the point.

    I don't really take these kind of lists serious.

    Well, the idea is quite good but the result is ridiculous thanks to too much weight given to totally useless European cups (Italy and Czech republic have the biggest number of EC events and You can see the result in the ranking).

    Yes, but there is already a ranking, the points. Soon as they start to do a ranking between drivers that never drive against each other it looks like this.

    I believe the original idea was to substitute priority system by something more useful to help organizers in seeding starting order (something like ATP tennis ranking). Of course this is not a case of WRC events, where there is different priority system used, but in other events it's often quite a mess in starting order. But anyway if this is the result, the current system, however bad it is, is better.
