[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

If that's what manufacturers want, I'd say give it a try although I'm not sure how the result will change with that system.

Loeb just scores 19 pts instead of 10 pts??? Hehehehe.... :D

Sounds like more rewards for the drivers and crews that can't finish rallies.

But if this was just for superalliers and it meant they weren't allowed to score main points too then I would be for it.

Hmmm if you're fast for one day, you can score 3 points. If you're consistent for the whole rally and drive three days, you can score 1 point.

I smell trouble.

JML for 2009 champion ;)

I think if the 3-2-1 scheme is used, then each driver should get a limit of a maximum of 4 bonus points, otherwise in Germay for example, Loeb could win easily, get 10 points, and then another 9 for excelling in all 3 days. That would be a bit unfair IMO.

Yet another hair-brained idea, where on earth do they get these ideas from. We've had a similar idea before, remember the points from the Live TV stages - what a farce that was.

Instead of coming up with stupid ideas, get to the crux of the problem - the S2000/Global Promoter problem. Once these problems are sorted and there is a decent WRC we won't need these silly ideas.
Sorry to say, but Morrie Chandler is beginning to disappoint me.

I like that idea!

Very good Q&A session at http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/70243 with WRC's Morrie Chandler.

This removes the whole endurance perspective of rally, and makes it into 3 sprints. Then IRC is on a better track of reintroducing the longer classics as they used to be years ago. Taking care of your car over the whole rally is also part of the game ! Remove Superally and let the drivers feel the consequence of going off !

IRC can't over rule FIA regulations concerning length of competitive mileage.
