Fair to who? For the 15% of the current wrc drivers who can actually lead the championship for the first 2-3 rallies, or fair to the rest of them 85% so they can have a chance to win a rally or 2? Just the drivers know how the rules are ahead doesn't make them fair. Or You suggest who doesn't like to rules just to quit? May be its bit extreme, but what lies under the "fair" concept? Everybody are under the same rules, yes sure, but that doesn't make them fair for the ones who are actually are already on top of the board. It is uneven handicap for them.
Current WRC cars rules already are enough equalizing all drivers, why we need to stick with these ancient running order rules? The sport needs refreshing, the 1st part - cars is already done, the other must come accordingly.Last edited by stefanvv; 27th February 2018 at 20:53.

In rallying everytime someone has to get the short end off the stick. Everytime. Do You really believe that it's better idea to make the life even worse for those who struggle even without it?
Someone has to take the handicap. There is no way how to avoid that. Do You believe that those who struggle even without that shall bear the handicap to have zero chance instead of at least some chance? Tell me why is that better and why it's more fair.Last edited by Mirek; 27th February 2018 at 20:54.

You know I'm big supporter of the underdogs. But is it fair to them to take some advantage, because the faster ones are handicapped? How is that in their favor, and how is that in favor of the spectators? Just because they like variety in the winner board. Then they don't understand the sport and just watching the show?!?

It's hard to make sense of your arguments here. Rallying isn't a kindergarten sports day where everybody should get a prize just for attending.
You want to be at the top? Work for it!
Since the cars are so closely matched and the top drivers are as close as ever, the old rules are just taking away from the excitement and the fight.

True. And they get payed for that a lot more than we make in our jobs. So it's right that it should be hard. It's worth it.

When the same driver has been winning titles for the past five years with all the methods you people propose you notice there's no need for change. The best win regardless.
Also, QS, while fair, made for very dull 2013-2015(?) seasons for anyone not a VW fan. 2016 was a total witchunt against Ogier and he still won the title comfortably. Just because he had a bad rally doesn't mean the rules are wrong. You wouldn't bring back the rule that eliminates the lowest score, would you?
