    I find myself agreeing with Luke Barry @lukebarry97 on the new points system...

    I feel like I’m in a minority, and I never expected to say this, but I don’t mind it. If anything I’d argue it helps put the onus on the championship fight, which Lappi isn’t in, while Evans/Neuville were able to offset their road order disadvantage and outscore a non-title contender

    Impressed by Fourmaux's speed, even when considering the starting position. Very solid work by Lappi too.
    Next is Safari, it will be time to see if Hyundai closed somewhat the gap in reliability or if "amazing quality" persists...

    Thank you, but I am now more confused than ever. I look here https://www.wrc.com/result-and-stand...nt&eventId=447 and it has not incorporated Sweden.

    Oh well, ewrc has it.

    And that's the whole issue. We both know Evans, Neuville and Tanak are focused on title fight and would prefer to be in Evans' shoes in Sweden than Lappi's. Winner should be rewarded the most, if 2nd driver is rewarded more, he is winner "from WRC championship standings point of view". Those are crucial words from my post that you are ignoring.

    I agree Lappi is rally winner from common sense point of view but current point system is not common sense.

    System can be easily corrected by giving rally winner strictly 30 points, no matter if it means adding 0 points to Neuville's Monte Carlo win or 11 points to Lappi's win but I doubt there is chance it will be changed midway through the season.

    Cruising in WRC should stop, so I don't see anything wrong with the new points system.
    Congrats Evans for winning rally Sweden.

    Its CRIMINAL how the promoter doesnt use footage from people like you or dont film like fans right at the edge of the tracks to have an even better highlight. These are the greatest footages in motorsport, PERIOD. Its like... they PROMOTE a sport that have the coolest kind of footage IN THE WORLD, but they CHOOSE not to use it... Its unbeliveable.
    AMAZING shots mate. Rally is incredible

    Just stupid.


    If Kalle hadn't made a mistake and won it, then he would have been a superb, rally king drive.. but now if Lappi WON THE RALLY SWEDEN, then it is suddenly nothing? Cut the crap. If he needed the points, he would have driven faster, but he needed/wanted the win and had enough gap to 2nd place so he could slow down like he did.
