Here is more choice - "stage wins per day" or "best overall time per day".

"Per day" points are more fair - because on some rallies are some short stages and on others long ones which makes short ones more valuable (points per km is higher).

"Best per day overall" would be nice on my opinion but after first regroup.


Alternative for all that - just make rally shorter, then there is no need to carry those positions some extra day or two. At the moment it feels that this rally it's time to finish.

But the real problem here is lack of competitors / manufacturers, if we could have more competitors, we most-likely should not have those "problems".

At first I thought this would not be bad idea. But when @meh wrote the negative side, I agree 100% it is a bad idea…not fair for the 1st driver cleaning the road….

No cleaning on tarmac though.

Sometimes there are boring rallies, sometimes they are a ride on the edge of your seat. The moment everything is flat out all the time, it becomes the new norm and how the hell do you get excited then?

Point(s) for stage wins advantages those re-starting, so that would be unfair.

How about a point for a stage win but only available to those that have done all the previous stages ?

In principle a point for a stage win or points for most stage wins sound like a good addition but there are many "loopholes" that the teams could exploit for example someone like Tanak doing super rally and manipulating his start position. I like that it would make attacking more viable but it needs to be well thought out. The rule must be simple but avoid being exploited.

I don't see reasons for giving points for stage wins, honestly. If a driver finishes the rally in 3rd, he should get more points than the driver who finished in 4th. Power stage already gives a chance for this not to happen, and I think it's enough.
If you want to give a symbolic 1 or 2 points a day to the fastest driver do it, but more than that and you could have drivers who finish in 7th getting more points than drivers who finish in 3rd.

Points for stage wins if you finish the rally without superrally and time penalties.

Obviously then a new points sytem is needed. 25 for winner is not enough. Here we have 24 stages already lol.
