    Who decides what is a mechanical problem and what is caused by crashing? We already see drivers retiring or losing time due to "mechanical issues" which were clearly caused by going off the road and hitting things. Or the other way around, what if a crash is caused by a mechanical issue like Latvala's big one in Argentina?

    Too complicated and too many grey areas, I don't think it would be possible to make that work.

    Yeah, after I thought it through it didn't make sense (and oh why did you remind me of Latvala's crash D

    What was said earlier, about adding penalties incurred right before the PS to the stage time, sounds better, although I'd say all Sunday penalties should count towards the PS time, to prevent drivers checking in late to the end of the penultimate stage.

    Shouldn't matter as there is a regroup before the power stage. All the cars gather to a one place and then the starting order can be decided by the organizer. For example sometimes we see WRC2 cars at the start.

    Why can't Ogier gets automatic 5 point bonus because of his greatness. That would be fair enough. And I think he complain that he gets too many

    Here's the 2017 WRC points score with 3-2-1 power stage points

    1. Ogier 232 - 21 = 211
    2. Neuville 208 - 18 = 190
    3. Tänak 191 - 12 = 179
    4. Latvala 136 - 16 = 120
    5. Evans 128 - 8 = 120
    6. Sordo 95 - 10 = 85
    7. Paddon 74 - 1 = 73
    8. Meeke 77 - 7 = 70
    9. Hänninen 71 - 5 = 66
    10. Breen 64 - 3 = 61
    11. Lappi 62 - 8 = 54
    12. Mikkelsen 54 - 5 = 49
    13. Suninen 29
    14. Østberg 29
    15. Lefebvre 30 - 4 = 26

    The only differences we see is that Evans becomes equal with Latvala, Meeke drops behind Paddon and Lefebvre drops behind Suninen and Østberg. The title would have still been decided already in Wales.

    How about all stages are PSs, and overall winners get bonus points?
    This way drivers need to compete from start to finish non-stop at max.

    The JWRC has additional points for stage wins.

    Maybe giving the 5-4-3-2-1 bonus points to the "best performers"

    I think we should start giving style points also. Then it would be like ski jumping.
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.
