If you give many points per stage win, it leads to the absurdity of driver A ending up behind driver B in the classification, but collecting more points. If you give only few points (like 100 points for rally win and 1 point for stage win), then almost nothing changes from how things are now. No one would push to the limit and risk to crash out for 1 point more, unless you're a championship competitor in the last round I guess. Maybe super-rally competitors would push more since they have nothing else to lose.
