yes, but why give them the points, if they dont drive the whole series.Quote:

Stupid system, now every win is not equal.
Also this system could be missused easily, if for instance PWRC would be in Finland, they could nominate Ketomäki and someone else who can drive a little to finish behind, our boys.
Tomi, to be honest Sweden and Finland are probably the only countrys in the world where local drivers can fight for JRC or PWRC podiums.
Besides the quest drivers have to follow all PWRC/JRC rules, tyre limitations, mechanincs and mechanical parts limitations and in JRC also age limitation.
yes true, thats why i said every win is not equal.Quote:

Considering that drivers should nominate 6 rounds, and not all drivers compete in every round, it is never the same. Competition varies from round to round, and guest drivers are another option. I think it is good for competitive reasons, as guest drivers are susually competitive ones, which add interest to each rally.
Nobody said anything about it being unfair last year in Rally Finland when Rantanen took third place points in JWRC as a guest driver :DQuote:
