Incredible close tonight...

Can a rally really be ending up as a draw.. ?
What happens if Loeb catches up on exactly those 0,7 sec?

Do they share the 1.place... or... are there some other rules that come into action... ?

22.3 Dead heat in a Championship rally

In the event of a dead heat in a rally, the competitor

who accomplished the best time for the first special
stage will be proclaimed winner. If this is not sufficient
to be able to decide between the competitors who are
tied, the times of the second, third, fourth, etc. special
stages shall be taken into consideration. This rule
may be applied at any time during the rally.

Thanks bt52b. So, the answer is Gronholm wins if they finish tie.

SS5 Mystery Creek 1 - Loeb
.............................- Bosse +.5s
SS9 Mystery Creek 2 - Loeb +.4s
.............................- Bosse

Thats only a 0,1 sec advantage for Seb in average over two runs...
Quess that means that Bosse is out of reach for Seb then....

*Crosses fingers*

that's one Super special Stage you dont want to miss!!!

what a thrill!!!!

I think Marcus will take it.. but it will be Allen's way, Maximum attack for both of them!

PS: that SSS might very weel decide of the Title!!!!!!

Yes, it will be very difficult for Loeb to take this but it is certainly a possibility. And if Loeb manages to win the rest of the rallies and Gronholm keeps second, they will actually tie in championship points. It's very, very close!

Those of you in Europe who've battled to stay awake and follow this have been well rewarded.

Nol sleep deprivation for me as it's just after midday

Silly rule. Should count number of fastest stage times before they do something like that who won a random stage.

The number of SS/SSS before the last SSS is actually draw too...
8 stage wins each....
