If points are halved it would be basically impossible for Hyundai to loose the title. Even with Toyota 1-2 they'd only need 6 points.
When you finish as last two manu cars you get 3+2=5 points (with half points being handed out). So even with two cars in superrally and one completely out they would still have very good chance.

Is this rally really going to take place?
It is a catastrophe warning out the coming week, with above 30 degrees, and strong wind incoming.
80 wildfires in NSW, all of firefighters is out in the forrests, no emergencyforces is "free" to attend the rally.

It's also an ethical question. Should you be using those emergency people to hold a rally, while they could be helping citizens who's lives and homes are threatened because of these fires?

I would just straight up cancel the event, with all due respect to the WRC, these bush fires are way more a pressing matter at the moment, and NSW should be focusing that imho.
Only you know your true potential.

Well imagine it doesn't get cancelled and you get tv pictures of cars driving trough burn-out forests overlapping with tv coverage of people who lost their homes.
Great PR for all involved.
(Note: I have little idea how the situation actually looks like, just listing the worst case)

Yeah on the face of it, there doesn’t seem to be much of a case for running the rally.
I saw a map of the known bushfires now and Coffs Harbour is basically surrounded, so even if some of the specific sections the rally is using are thus far unaffected, it doesn’t really seem right to hold an international sporting event in the middle of all of this.

Cancelled my car booking to drive from Sydney to coffs yesterday as the main road to drive there is closed because of the fires, I then booked flights to coffs instead. Then last night after I read more of the reports I have changed my flights to go on holiday somewhere else completely instead, this rally is done unfortunately. I have pretty much made every effort to go as I was very keen to attend but A) it’s not safe and B) won’t be much to spectate...
Can’t see many people causally going along to it.

That is just one forest stage, half of Argents Hill, driven three times in both directions (Graces and Allens). The rest are super specials.
Both super specials are also made longer than they were supposed to be, possibly just added more laps.
The organizers probably lose a lot of money if they don't run any rally at all. I try to understand the situation in all aspects.Last edited by AnttiL; 11th November 2019 at 07:46.

These cars were going nowhere,fast. Getting rid of them was crucial for the survival of the championship. Group Bs were amazing cars, too. But, having fatal or life threatening accidents at every...
