I think that is better if someone retired (and is out of the game of points) = zero points in power stage.....Quote:

All (and only) competitors receive these passwords, so if you want it, you must ask a competitor. :)Quote:

First of all, our championship is quite professionnal, with big teams who can run 5 or 6 cars (we have a team championship), so they need a lot of place. That's why, instead of being close to WRC paddock, they were nowhere ... so noone goes to see them in the park. Sponsors weren't happy, as teams.
Secondly, regulation is a bit different btw french champ and WRC. It created problems (I think service park time or something like that).
thirdly, the state of the roads was really bad ...
And fourth, I think french organizers didn't do the right thing to preserve this event ... but at least that's good for them as Antibes is no more ERC round, even if now they have to delete a round (as Mācon was choose to replace Grand National, and this year Antibes is back in our championship).
But, as Grand National can't be run, organizers decided to cut the costs for the local crews who want to enter the WRC round. That's why our entry list was last year quite good out of regular WRC championships.
