2024 - New Point Scoring System

[denkimi]

And in the final we can make one stage 6 kms long. Every competitor will do it four times on Friday in one direction, four times on Saturday in opposite direction and on Sunday they will go twice in first direction with added some artificial chicanes. Every competitor will fight for every tenths of seconds, push all the time. All live should have camera every 200m, spectators on site will see the cars all the time, service area can be between all stages, so cars will be more reliable. So for show this is the best format. But I am not sure if there will be competitors (and spectators) willing to see it...

you just invented the rallysprint.

Let's go further, since we have just the one stage how about we make it just 3km but 2 times wider and we let 4 cars race at the same time so they can pass each other! Now that would be exciting!

amd without co-drivers, to make cars lighter!

Never let it happen once again that 2nd placed o/a driver gets more points than the winner. The driver who stod on highest place in podium celebrating, but got less points.

New point scoring system no matter what it could be at the best, shouldn´t end up rallies like Rally Sweden.
Why wasn´t Evans on step one on Podium, then?

RIDICULOUS IT WAS!!

And make half the stage tarmac & the other half gravel. I think we're really on to something here guys!

Well, if he wanted more points, he should've pushed on Sunday. Yet, he didn't. He just wanted the win and that's what he got.

It's true that Lappi should do more if his main objective would be maximizing points gain instead of win but it doesn't change ridiculousness of situation when it's possible to be rally winner and not be points winner.

Currently rally from WRC standings point of view, is not a rally but series of mini-rallies where winning whole thing doesn't matter. It shouldn't be like that.

He completed the entire rally in the overall shortest time. That should always be worthy of the most points

Why? Because it's "fair"? Is it also "fair" that he got road advantage?

because that's what rally is and always has been. driving a certain distance faster than you opponents.
