I do like they idea of putting Guest drivers 1st on the road. But if we go back to the Qualifying days this will be a non issue.

Ogier is right on this one. Don't forget he was the first to jump in the roof to congratulate Loeb even if he lost a possible advantage of 7 points instead of 3 over Neuville.
Anyway, coming as guest in some rallys can be a big advantage, too big if the guest is a competitive driver.

Where do they draw the line for how many or few events defines a guest driver? If Loeb does 3 or 4 rallies is he still a guest or a semi-regular? If Hyundai run a shared car with Paddon and Sordo doing half seasons again are they both 'guest drivers' too?
Lets be honest, Ogier has always exaggerated the impact of running order when it disadvantages him and been mysteriously silent about it when it helps him.

Don't mind if qualifying stage come back. Atleast then rallies would have to have decent "shakedowns" as stages like we had Spain would be a total joke but i'm not sure if its totally needed since Loeb is the only non regular who is actually able to fight for the wins.

I'm undecided on the merit of a qualifying stage.
On one hand it might help avoid the whinging from certain drivers about it being unfair when conditions are less favourable for their road position, on the other hand it adds another advantage (as well as the powerstage) to drivers who are better at pulling out one really fast stage even if they aren't as good at managing pace consistently over a whole rally. Just another step away from traditional rallying toward the short sprint format I guess.
