Nobody. I'm little tired reading the same all over again.

Yes, they are. 3 days sweeping are even more, though with current length of the final day seems less important. Ogier won't get as many PS points as he wishes though.

Wouldn't it be funny if the rules changed to 3-day-sweep and Citroen built the best car, but Meeke couldn't win because of unfair rules?

Imagine a 4-way last rally fight for the Championship, with let's say Ostberg winning it all because he started 4th...

Would you be pleased with that?

If we start imagining things it would be really fun...

In My opinion solution is very simple: Championship order first day and reverse top15 for following 2 days....this will give small disadvantage to the leader of the champ without preclude him possibility to fight for the win; more will give also more interest to Live stages on tv of saturday that will have already reverse order (same for us following split times in live) and same on sunday.
I don't see really bad points using this system....i don't understand as their don't do it. If i'm blind and in real you guys see some bad points in my proposal...i'm open to discuss

There is no perfect system, but this one and QS are close to it. I personally prefer QS as the driver carries his own responsibility for choosing the starting position.

Guys in short. Ogier is Better than any driver at the current WRC list. and to be honest One driver winning every rally doesn't make it Exiting. not knowing who will win this race is quite good for the sport. reality is Ogier is the Fastest no driver can challenge Ogier in the same conditions. so i think they should keep this rule, so we can have some good racing. and let the Best one Win.
