Hmm, ignoring points for a moment, can Munster restart tomorrow? Or is the old RMC "max 60 cars on Sunday" thing going to kick in?

Fantastic fight in the Rally2 class, only 6"9 gap between Gryazin, Lopez and Rossel with three stages left to go

Oh. I was also under the impression that people who retires on Sunday, will be removed from Saturday, and the rest will just move up.
However, if you led the rally after Saturday before, you didn't score any points either. It's not exactly like it was in either situation.

I guess we'll have a better idea about the new points system tomorrow.
OK, let's see how big a fool I can make of myself...
Ogier probably isn't super worried about points, he'll be wanting another win at Monte Carlo. He'll be pushing, and pushing hard unless he's somehow 10 seconds clear.
Neuville, Tanak and Evans all have something to protect as they would have in previous years, but also more to play for on Sunday morning.
I don't think Neuville is in the mood for going easy right now.
Tanak, especially, would previously have cruised until the power stage tomorrow. Now he has every reason to try to get 12 points out of the day, and if he's been smart with his tyres he has a decent chance. [Edit: he has road position too.]
Evans probably has weaker tyres. It would be reasonable for him to be conservative.
Fourmaux... any points would be welcome. Munster needs to finish, and listen to the warnings in his notes.
And watch out for Taka, everybody. He's on good rubber and ready to rock. Fear him.
On Thursday, at work, the old saying about "a camel is a horse designed by a committee" came up. I said that a camel might be ugly, but it's good at what it does. The new rules are certainly inelegant, so let's hope they're fully like a camel.Last edited by Morte66; 27th January 2024 at 18:02.

13 seconds is not something that is impossble to make up, there's still 130km to go and anyone can get problems of flat tyres. but i agree that setteling for 2nd would be the smart thing to do for...
