go back to 2014 rules is a reasonable decision. Also th WRC Trophy for Prokop. Now he will finally stop retiring from WRC so many times. Let's hope the promoter will not waste time on it and give more proper coverage to WRC2.

New point system at power stage is very stupid. the third qualified could take more point than the second and they are also too many points that a rally2 driver can take. I really don't like it. 3-2-1 was perfect. But is ok. I was afraid changes could have been worse.

They've gone with the 2nd best option.

I would've preferred WC order on 1st day, reverse WC order on the 2nd and reversed rally order on the last day. But still, way better than during the last two seasons.

I'm not a fan of either. That points system and going back to -14 rules is the worst desicion we could have. Either we keep the system we have or we go back to a qualifying stage that dictates road order for first two days, alternatively whole rally. Cars stopping tactically on friday evening to get a better road position on saturday and sunday is not in cherished bank of rally memories.

It won't work without split times in the car. Besides, I can't remember anything like that in 2014, but maybe I'm wrong.

My memory might fail me but I think they did. They did for sure in 2012 before they moved to the qualifying stage.

There won't be any tactical stopping, Saturday and Sunday will run in reverse rally position so you want to be in front after day 1 to get a better position. Maybe if it rains it could happen but that doesn't happen often and is a gamble on the weather forecast being correct.

No I'm 100% in 2014 they didn't because it would have been useless. From the second day the leading driver started as the last one.
