Is Colin real champion for you ?
That season had 8 rallies, 7 best were counted

What about 1986 ? When Alen was champion for 1,5weeks and after that they changed SanRemo results

What about all other years ?

I have to say that I don´t remember how many rallies each year had.

It’s heartbreaking to see WRC titles being decided on theses stages, no matter how ‘tricky’ they can get due to the weather or how much Porter & Co insist that they’re brilliant or fascinating.

Even if we can still have some decent action on Saturday, I really hope the series standings won’t change so that we can celebrate Evans and Martin as champs. After all, they were the best ones after the 6 proper Rallys of the season.

6 proper Rallys?

If they filmed just these in-field parts it would look so much better than all those ugly barriers and chicanes on the track.

Indeed, and who knows something about the 1995 season, knows that McRae was helped by the short season and by Sainz having to miss 1 of the 8 rounds. McRae's fame largely overshwadowed this in later years, but it's not that 1995 was such an odd season: in 1994 there were 10 rounds, in 1996 9 rounds. And in 1993, top drivers weren't yet competing for the full calendar, so 1st place Kankkunen ran 10 rounds, 2nd place Delecour 9 rounds. Not a big difference for that era.

In 1996 the drivers could pick 7 best from the 9 rounds. In 1994 8 best from 10. In 1993 and before the calendar had typically 12-13 rounds but only the best 7-8 was counted. Biasion won his titles in 1988 and 1989 with 7 and 6 starts respectively. In 1987 all of the three Lancia drivers were given equally 7 starts.

It was very untypical to do full seasons before 1995. The closest one I know is Alen in 1986, all rallies except Ivory Coast.

Friday leaders to benefit if it snows on Saturday...

6 proper Rallys?

Those maily run on Rally roads, not in circuit tracks and its surroundings.
