    You mean Ogier instead of drivers, right?

    As I said at the time of Rally Spain, Loeb could have cost Ogier the Championship (points) by coming in and taking the win.

    And with Budar saying in Australia how he wanted Ogier with the #1 on their car next year...

    It's not about any 'use' for their points, it's about not writing in a record book that the person who really finished 5th or 6th in a rally scored points for coming 2nd.

    It also takes away competition. There would have been no reason for anyone to even try catching Loeb in any of his events. Or Bouffier in Monte or Corsica. Or Paddon in the rounds he drove. Or Ostberg...

    One thing I really like in WRC is that WRC2 and WRC3 cars all qualify for points. So when Tidemand or Kopecky finish 7th and Mikkelsen finishes 8th, those are the points they get. Don't change that please.

    So if guest drivers had to open the road, teams could call in their "guest drivers" for sweeping the road for their championship contenders?

    Sordo to have 10 rallies next year at Hyundai. All except Sweden, Finland, Wales and Australia.

    My speculation about rotating all four drivers...
    Monte: Sordo, Mikkelsen
    Sweden: Mikkelsen, Paddon
    Mexico: Sordo, Paddon
    Corsica: Sordo, Paddon
    Argentina: Sordo, Mikkelsen
    Chile: Sordo, Mikkelsen
    Portugal: Sordo, Paddon
    Sardegna: Sordo, Paddon
    Finland: Mikkelsen, Paddon
    Germany: Sordo, Mikkelsen
    Turkey: Sordo, Mikkelsen
    Wales: Mikkelsen, Paddon
    Spain: Sordo, Paddon
    Australia: Mikkelsen, Paddon

    10 rounds for Sordo, 9 for Mikkelsen and Paddon. Tarmac rounds split between Mikkelsen and Paddon.

    To give Huttunen, guy they've invested in, his first outings in the main class?
