WRC Crash Trophy 2017
I thought it would be fun to count points for the worst WRC crashers. I decided to make a points system:
1: Out of the road with no damage
2: Out of the road with damage or a roll, no retirement
3: Crash that results in Rally2
5: Crash that results in retirement
A driver may collect many of these during an event, for example Ogier was off the road twice in Portugal, he gets 2 points. Meeke crashed to Rally2 and to retirement in Argentina, so that's 8 points.
I just hope I haven't forgotten any crashes from the list, let me know if I have.

The current top (or bottom) 5 would be:
1. Kris Meeke 26
2. Juho Hänninen 16
3. Hayden Paddon 15
4. Stephane Lefevbvre 12
5. Elfyn Evans 8

I would have added point 4 or to point 3: out of the road with no damage but hoplesly stuck.
Good statistics to analyze at the end of the year.
Point 2 is difficult to remember, imo there have been more of those.Last edited by Tarmop; 28th June 2017 at 08:48.

I think I have all of those, but it's the hardest to collect the one point offs. Did Breen go out in Sweden slightly? Did Meeke have a slight off before his TV stage off? Did Ogier have two or three moments in Monte? I have to re-watch the highlight videos...
Also, I'm not counting spins. Nor moments where you stayed on the road but the car broke, like Breen in Argentina and Sardinia, or Østberg in Sardinia.

Difficult exactly about the minor offs. If a car goes off the road, but keeps moving - well, is that really an off or just a hot moment. Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes not. Or if you cut too much - obvious driver error - break the car, but keep on the road...
Altogether, I'm following this :-)Photos: rallirinki.kuvat.fi | Twitter: @HartusvuoriWRC

Yeh. I'm not counting stuff like Neuville going a bit wide in Argentina, but counting Ogier's off to the field in Monte on the TV stage. I'd say the criteria is that the car goes off the road for 1 point. However, you can get a 2 point by breaking the car without leaving the road.

You might also have a WRC Rally Incident of the Year 'Plate' - represented by destroyed number plates joined together from crashed WRC cars, for the voted single most spectacular accident/ incident of the season.
The nominees for 2016 might have been Paddon - car fire Portugal, Bertelli - Rally Finland, Lefebvre - Germany.
2017 - Nominees - Meeke - the 2nd crash in Argentina. possibly Paddon - 2nd crash in Sardinia.

I was bored so I double checked your math:
I don't count going off the road slightly and then getting back on again like an off. You have to have either caused cosmetic or light mechanical damage or come to a complete stop to be off. Running wide in a junction is not an off.
Counting only regulars not Bertelli etc.
_Event 1 MC_
Meeke crashed once and retired on road section = 8 points.
Neuville rally 2 from lead = 3 points
Hänninen crashed into a tree = 3 points
Lefebvre burnt the clutch after exit = 3 points
Ogier ditch = 1 point
Evans same = 1 point
_Event 2 Sweden_
Meeke twice off the road but without damage = 2 points
Hänninen tree again and rally 2 = 3 points
Neuville sss, rally 2 = 3 points
Breen snowbank = 1 point
Lefebvre snowbank = 1 point
Something happened to Evans here but can't figure out what.
_Event 3 Mexico_
Meeke off road on power stage = 1 point (maybe 2 if you count cosm. damage)
Ogier off and damaged a bumper = 2 points
Lefebvre rally 2 = 3 points
_Event 4 Corsica_
Hänninen crashed twice, retiring once = 8 points
Lefebvre rally 2 = 3 points
Evans rally 2 = 3 points
Tänak ditch = 1 point
_Event 5 Argentina_
Meeke rolled twice, retired 2nd time = 8 points
Paddon rolled but continued = 2 point
Sordo broke steering arm (but continued) = 2 point
_Event 6 portugal_
Meeke crashed but rally 2 = 3 points
Lefebvre rolled but continued = 2 points
Tänak broke a suspension arm on a bank = 2 points
Latvala rolled = 2 points
Lappi spun and touched a wall = 1 points
_Event 7 Italy_
Meeke crashed + retired again = 5 points
Paddon crashed twice, retiring once = 8 points
Evans crashed, was retired by team after last stage... = 3 points
Hänninen crashed and broke radiator, managed to keep on going = 2
_Event 8 Poland_
Tänak retired = 5 points
Ogier spun + damage = 2 points
Mikkelsen off two times = 2 points
That should be all... if I missed something, let me know
Meeke 27 points
Hänninen 16 points
Paddon 10 points
Lefebvre 12 points
Neuville 6 points
Evans 7 points (maybe more... missing one event)
Tänak 8 points
Ogier 5 points
Sordo 2 points
Latvala 2 points
Breen 1 Point
Lappi 1 pointLast edited by itix; 2nd July 2017 at 22:20.
