You mean Ogier instead of drivers, right?

And neuville prob saying he was picked out first on purpose
As I said at the time of Rally Spain, Loeb could have cost Ogier the Championship (points) by coming in and taking the win.
And with Budar saying in Australia how he wanted Ogier with the #1 on their car next year...
It's not about any 'use' for their points, it's about not writing in a record book that the person who really finished 5th or 6th in a rally scored points for coming 2nd.
It also takes away competition. There would have been no reason for anyone to even try catching Loeb in any of his events. Or Bouffier in Monte or Corsica. Or Paddon in the rounds he drove. Or Ostberg...
One thing I really like in WRC is that WRC2 and WRC3 cars all qualify for points. So when Tidemand or Kopecky finish 7th and Mikkelsen finishes 8th, those are the points they get. Don't change that please.
So if guest drivers had to open the road, teams could call in their "guest drivers" for sweeping the road for their championship contenders?

Sordo to have 10 rallies next year at Hyundai. All except Sweden, Finland, Wales and Australia.
My speculation about rotating all four drivers...
Monte: Sordo, Mikkelsen
Sweden: Mikkelsen, Paddon
Mexico: Sordo, Paddon
Corsica: Sordo, Paddon
Argentina: Sordo, Mikkelsen
Chile: Sordo, Mikkelsen
Portugal: Sordo, Paddon
Sardegna: Sordo, Paddon
Finland: Mikkelsen, Paddon
Germany: Sordo, Mikkelsen
Turkey: Sordo, Mikkelsen
Wales: Mikkelsen, Paddon
Spain: Sordo, Paddon
Australia: Mikkelsen, Paddon
10 rounds for Sordo, 9 for Mikkelsen and Paddon. Tarmac rounds split between Mikkelsen and Paddon.
Or Paddon out and Huttunen to compete in 4 remaining rounds.
