[WRC] Rally Sweden 2024

[Backa]

I think just one little change would make this points system much better - at the end of rally, winner's score being upgraded to 30 points.

We would keep benefits of new points system without having weird situations like today. Also gap between winner and 2nd would be bigger when winner dominates, like Estonia 2023 and smaller in rallies like Sweden 2024, when leader kept things safe on sunday. That could be interesting.

It would not hurt if there would be more kms on sundays and maybe less on fridays.

Overall, point system is not that bad and it doesn't make sense to demand from it that it will make every sunday super exciting. Outside rally winner thing, it seems to have potential to reduce cruising.

Personally, I have not a big problem with new point system.. But I can't stand that 90% of people are angry and dissapointed - this will ruin the sport, we need change.

change? it is easy..

- just cancel points after Saturday and give them points overall after Sunday, as always.. (25,18,15..)..
- lets keep "super sunday" , both sundays this year were great.

if they would do this, then it will be even better than old system..

still 2nd placed driver can has more points than the first, but it is like this and I cant see other solution..

who agree?

This would be better. Effectively nothing for winning the actual rally is wrong.

I was skiing today not following the stages and I can tell you that if you, who followed the stages live, find the system ridiculous, just imagine how you'd feel about it if you learned the results in hindsight. You'd think you smoked some proper shit...

The points system is easy enough but it needs to be made clear for new fans that each rally is now like two separate scoring events.But the question is whether its devaluing the overall win.

I said it already but any system which needs to be made clear for the fans is inherently stupid.

lol is this real or photoshop?

It's Bosch AeroTwin I guess, just bought in a Volvo shop which is funny anyway. Volvo doesn't produce windscreen wipers.

May I ask, without wanting to appear like I'm defending this system...

Thierry's win on pace pushed to the end in Monte, and Lappi's win in Sweden helped by road position and the attrition...

Are/should they be equally rewarded in the championship, not detracting from deservedness of the win?

If you ask me: my answer could be read in my post. Points for overall + points for Sunday only + for PS. Overall points if I read it right gave EP 18 p; my proposition i EP should´ve had 25 + X+X...

is this a reliable source?

apparently 17 drivers were fined for speeding, 3 got licence revoked, one of which is in the top class but not on the podium...

I guess it is.

[Rallyper]

Right now I like new scoring system.

You want all the points....you need to go all out whole rally. Like Neuville in Monte.

Lappi could have done it also but didnt need to, fine by me.

How do you measure that? "Going all out"? He wanted o/a points of course, but wasn´t rewarded for it.

actually if you have such a great weekend, you can achieve 37 points.. (neuville monte) .. this is so so much
