I think just one little change would make this points system much better - at the end of rally, winner's score being upgraded to 30 points.
We would keep benefits of new points system without having weird situations like today. Also gap between winner and 2nd would be bigger when winner dominates, like Estonia 2023 and smaller in rallies like Sweden 2024, when leader kept things safe on sunday. That could be interesting.
It would not hurt if there would be more kms on sundays and maybe less on fridays.
Overall, point system is not that bad and it doesn't make sense to demand from it that it will make every sunday super exciting. Outside rally winner thing, it seems to have potential to reduce cruising.

Personally, I have not a big problem with new point system.. But I can't stand that 90% of people are angry and dissapointed - this will ruin the sport, we need change.
change? it is easy..
- just cancel points after Saturday and give them points overall after Sunday, as always.. (25,18,15..)..
- lets keep "super sunday" , both sundays this year were great.
if they would do this, then it will be even better than old system..
still 2nd placed driver can has more points than the first, but it is like this and I cant see other solution..
who agree?

I was skiing today not following the stages and I can tell you that if you, who followed the stages live, find the system ridiculous, just imagine how you'd feel about it if you learned the results in hindsight. You'd think you smoked some proper shit...
I said it already but any system which needs to be made clear for the fans is inherently stupid.
It's Bosch AeroTwin I guess, just bought in a Volvo shop which is funny anyway. Volvo doesn't produce windscreen wipers.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
