You brought it up as something worth mentioning.
It just introduced a (complicated) rating that has so many issues that it in the end is about as accurate as simply looking on number of stage wins and number of stages in rally lead.
My suggestion is simply not to bother. Yes you could add tons of other variables, but weighting of these or selecting what belongs to which category would be artificial and you are back to start.

Today without bigger drama for Rally1, so expecting tomorrow lot of retirements maybe, because there is NEVER rally without issues. Let's see guys, favorizing Ogier for the win probably, depends on...
