Maybe pressure on the RallyGB organisers for even contemplating helping with this idea. Stop bending over for the FiA, or in this case the promoter and grow some backbone.Quote:

Bonus would contemplate 7 first drivers in day 1 and 2 and 5 first drivers in day 3. Drivers under Rally 2 could get daily bonus points but only those making the whole rally get overall rally points. Day 3 only with 2 SS (same route done twice), last one in PS mode with TV coverage. RRC with 29mm restrictor.
Thank God, it's seems more a evolution than a "veritable revolution" (AS titles are always bombastic...)

The worrying thing is that the people at the top think that what is wrong with rallying is stupid little things like the points system...
One does wonder how they come to decisions like that. I would say that the most difficult thing to understand for general public is overcomplicated rules in rallying so why not to make them even more complicated? Sounds like a good idea, sure... Don't get me wrong. It's still much better than the shootout but a kick in the ass is also better than in the balls if You know what I mean.
Bonus points are better than superally but giving them for only two stages? What is power stage if there are bonus points for legs? Another bonus points or just a big name for TV stage or what?
Smaller restrictor for RRC cars is an obvious way to finally kill them for the good of R5. RRC... another brilliant idea which didn't work and which was adopted against the common sense.
So it looks like ERC rules. I think a good way to do with Superrally. Crews out of classification, but can still take point : so they have to restart. FIA maintain his goal for organizer (all top crews starting), and sport logic is quite correct.
Even if the simple way would be than if you retire, you are out of classification ... but why do you want to do simple when you can do complicated ?
