Do we really want a new "Loeb era"? It's going to happen if they don't let them run in championship order on day 1 and 2
If it helps at all...

There shouldn't be new "Loeb" era, now we have more manufacturers and team leaders which could possibly fight for victories.

And secondly, why couldn´t fans contribute if they know the direction of rules?

I think it's a modern disease where everything has to arrive immediately when you want it.

I'd write some argument to your case but in reality we'd be standing by the same positions in the end as now and the only thing we would achieve with exchanging arguments or questions is waste our and other's time. Like this post.

Personally I think that fans won't be able to contribute, only discuss.

All I wanted to say with the post you quoted was: Patience

Yeah, yeah, no problem. But if there´s trancparancy there is good things coming out as well. That´s my point, because I do believ most of us can contribute if they´d listen. They are not above us. They are alikes.

It's up up to the other teams/ drivers to 'up' their game. Not rely on hand outs by way of favourable running order rules. Why does Motorsport have a problem with this. Does football, have things like this. If a team is too good - Tough!! Deal with it.

Spot on, fastest wins, anything else is not a proper world championship

According to WRC.com Paddon's drive in France has been given to Bouffier. So either Paddon's 7 round contract has been reduced, or he will be driving Hyundai in 2015.
