if msport had a bigger budget, it would cool if they always gave the british champion a few events in rally1, eh!

Funny enough that's what 3x BRC Champ Matt Edwards and Tom Cave were discussing last week... ie. there's no prize whatsoever for winning the BRC.

McRae wins Junior ERC round? Something happened with Johansson?

A great performance by Jon Armstrong. I think he would've been 2nd overall without losing that minute with a puncture yesterday.

Phillip Allen talks about it after SS13:
"I put her into the bank and had to reverse! That corner that caught Ingram out is glass! That is extremely slippery. If anyone is listening, watch Ingram's corner. It is ice."

Do I have this right?

I think Franceschi gets 21 points for 3rd overall + 1 for 5th in the PS, bringing him to 104 for the season to date.

Paddon gets 30+5 bringing him to 131.

If they both drop their lowest score, Paddon would (so far) drop 7 and Franceschi 0.

So I reckon Franceschi needs to beat Paddon by 21 points in Silesia to overtake him, assuming Paddon gets at least 7.

I am not at all confident about this maths.

I think you are right. My calculations are the same.

With one exception - how many points Paddon will have to drop is not known yet. It will be known after Rally Silesia.
Drivers count their best seven scores from a possible eight. Details here:

if paddon doesnt race in polska, his drop results is 0. mathieu will have to fight hard. i doubt miko marczyk (or other local? is sjeza entering?) will not win that last round
