If Toyota gets next positions on sunday (in front of Ford - 3rd and 4th) tey will get 14. Whit this points Toyota wins manufacturer championship.

Maybe I’m wrong, correct me please.

I think that's correct (damn I hate the new points system).

All these calculations needed with this points system is ridiculous.

So no one knows..

For sure this points system is ridiculous.

it is a bit anticlimatic, it would have been more exciting a finish at the PS, but not that unusual. In 2011, Hirvonen retired on day 1 of the last round and Loeb became champion. I'm sure there are other examples of the chasing driver retiring.

True.


just max disappointed.

"To score points, the crew must be classified in the Final Classification of the Rally"

I found this, that would simply mean that Mikkelsen counts

Good thing they'll change it again next year (in the hopes it'll be simpler).
