During this Loeb-era, it would only strenghten his chances for title :)
The thing I don't get is that WRC used to have a different points system - then the FIA changed to bring them all in line. What will happen now? Last year Loeb would have won it by the summer.....
the new system is good it really gives motivation for someone to win and also puts pressure on the guys following in order not to give up the fight so easily.
So if Hirvonen gathers 78 points including one win and Sordo only gets 34 points but manages to win two times, then Sordo is the champion, right?
Have I understood it correctly?
Yes, precisely.Quote:

The 12-9-7 system as propsed by the F1 teams would have been better for both championships.
In the current situation with Loeb dominating the thing should be like today, no changes.Quote:

That is kind of stupid. You mean if a drive has 1 win, but crash out on all other races, and then another driver get second place on every single race, the former one becomes champion? Rallying is different than F1, consistency should be rewarded.
About F1, only 30mil pounds, that even seem less than the two leading wrc teams as of now. Do anyone knows the budget figure for Citroen and Ford?
Win should be rewarded by ten points and second by 6. Current system don't reward winners enough.
In F1 it will be fun to watch how desperate overtaking moves current system will encourage. Drivers will take way more risks starting from the start of the race. Safety safety!!!
There most be other drivers winning the other events that you don't appear to consider.Quote:
