I would say this WDC is Neuville to lose as current point system gives protection against small mistake consequences. I think TN can start to drive "defensive" now, without chasing a win on every stage/rally. If he keeps it around top3 on reminding rallies, he simply can manage this campaign up to the title! Even though, i am still Tanaks supporter, I would like to see Neuville as WDC, just for his attitude, never-give up approach, alway max attack with whatever piece of metal he is given.
Did Jan Solans get 3 points for his 8th place at the end of saturday? Wikipedia and WRC site shows he didn't, eWRC shows he did.
This points system isnt right, particularly in terms of Sunday. Way too many points with both Super Sunday AND the Power Stage are scewing the scores unfairly.
The Top 3 here scoring nearly the same points just doesn't give a correct reflection of the rally.
Almost all champions have had at least 1 retirement during thein championship winning year. Therefore statistics are against Neuville, but if he can keep it clean at least 6 future events, then it will be difficult for other to catch him.Quote:

This. Is. Grrrreat!
This is a Rally Portugal thing or on other WRC events as well?Quote:

Portugal looks like they had a final service after the power stage podium.
I added to eWRC-results according sportity document: https://app-cdn.sportity.com/274a534...PRT%202024.pdfQuote:

At least Neuville's, Tanak's and Evans' points are stable. Hopefully we would not end season with different sites crowning different driver as champion...
Best of heli. Love these videos

Very cool oldschool vibes with disposable camera :)
