    Just so that I understand. You want to get rid of the overall results and divide everyone into their tiny categories?
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

    Because it's ridiculous to give points to top 10 Rally1 cars when there are less than 10 Rally1 cars. I would understand if it was top 6 or top 8 with a 15 cars field, but not how things are today...
    Just finishing a rally doesn't mean you deserve points. Serderidis in 25th and Loubet in 27th almost 2 hours behind don't deserve points, their result is much closer to a DNF than a 8th-9th position.

    Circuit racing is more straightforward to televise and just make the director choose whom to choose. In rallying the cars run with 2-4 min intervals and you have to choose between showing the top cars from the next stage or proceeding with the previous one and every minute costs money.

    With performance and issues on Friday, he should score zero points in Mexico (except power stage, of course). Only lack of proper competitors also in WRC2 and their issues helped him to get back to top ten. I dont see any reason why he should score points being sixth fastest Rally1 car when there were drivers with Rally2 which were faster than him...

    But at the same time the PowerStage is a very different format. In Belgium it is streamed on open RTBF TV and Web channels and the PowerStage broadcast usually includes a resume what happened on friday and saturday + starting positions for WRC2 are different to other stages. In short the PowerStage makes a perfect format for WRC I recommend to also for friends who are not really into rallying

    Why should crews in less capable cars, who complete the prescribed route correctly in less time than crews in Rally1 cars, not score points for their overall positions?

    Come on now.

    Are you a Serderidis fan who tries to find a way to make him a World Champion?

    People want destroy rallies with rules changes. Rallies are so simple and good to watch in past.

    Even that post of Win Rally Mexico of Gus is ridiculous. He was the best RC2, won the WRC2 championship field.... the rest is stupid.

    You are right. The more stupid rules, that are hard to understand, the less people are going to follow this sport.
