It would still work unreal. Because to win a round of for example Danish champ (no offense) is probably easier than to be in top ten in Italian championship. It's still "same level" of ranking. The same goes to zone events and European cups. Almost all events of our championship are something like that but entry would be same if they are not. No-one is interested in these useless series except some our national drivers who get money from ASN for representation (although they drive only one event outside Czech championship to be classified - in reality ASN sponsors them our national champ).
I wanted to point out that useless basis of any ranking system will give always only useless results. This ranking system can be balanced for WRC, IRC, ERC, MERC, APRC, CODASUR but never for national series etc. They have too different level.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

I hope that there will be some more manufacturers in WRC in the future and not just the three we have next year and then some of these drivers you call "failures" might get a decent chance. IMO, after the top 6 guys from WRC (Loeb, Ogier, Mikko, Petter, JML, Sordo) there is a group from outside who are better than the guys in the "M2" teams which would include Meeke, Hanninen, Ketomaa + maybe PG and possibly some others.

Also the drivers in continental championships rarely compete in same rally so it’s a little bit guessing what coefficients they should have. For ERC it’s little bit easier but for the rest….
There are the “Non Championship Events” which contains rallies from British, Irish, Italian, Swiss and Czech national rally championships and there are quite many from Italian I.R.C Trony, few international rallies etc. Would be nice to on what basis these rallies have choosed.
The other is the “Zone Events” that contains rallies from different countries. I didn’t bother to look up if they are included in a national championship.
In these both list there is one French rally but not a single Spanish, Portuguese, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish etc, rally.“Don’t eat the yellow snow” Frank Zappa

I must say, I dont like both :-)
It is very difficult to find proper ranking system in rallysport, especially if you want to have a mixture of different championships. It should work at tennis, where are the main tournaments full of the best players. This is not working in rally, most of good drivers are missing on WRC rounds...
