Tactics in days ends have to do with reverse order, not qualifying. Personally I prefer how it is run today, it offers a more level playing field for the top drivers.

Reverse order was introduced when qualifying was. The one leads to the other.

Quali stage was a very good idea from a sport viewpoint. Reduces the amount of randomness in the conditions the drivers are experiencing, allowing the best drivers to show their skill to its furthest extent. Removing it might be good for the slower drivers who could "luck" they way into podiums but that's silly really. You don't fix a sport by introducing luck, no one wants to see WRC as a giant lottery.

There's no luck in 300+ km WRC event. Before 2012 we never saw SlowSon, Villagra, Block, etcetra on the podium. Only thing was that the favorites needed to push a bit harder. We also multiple times saw the sweepers winning stages so it is not a huge handicap.

As there was no more details I can presume that revers order will stay for following days as it is now. It could be interesting.

For me it's a step in the right direction, giving back the shakedown for what it ment to be... Now they should focus on replacing rally2 by a better and more fair system... :)

Now we see how ogier is dominating.. And its boring. I dont see a driver to beat ogier that easy. Even loeb wasn't too dominant.
