I have nothing against the option to continue but it's ridiculous when retired guys are faster than those actually competing (such as last year in Cataluya where on the long stage of leg 1 the retired were faster than 2WD). That's spitting in the face of those who don't retire. Those retired shall not be part of overall classification no matter the reason for their retirement. Another ridiculous thing is that superally is not applied for last day. Why the hell is somebody who retired in all previous days and just somehow cruised through Sunday in the overall standings while the one who did all the rally and retired just before finish not? There is absolutely no logic in that.
Would be very interesting to go through supporter championship standings from last years and delete all points given due to superally. I'm sure we would have many different champions. Then there is a question what is more important for You - if to have proper real results or half-fake competition and champions...
