Plus the revised points system has had universal praise.

Good job WRC, credit where it's due.

I agree completely. Good day for WRC today.

Yeah. No one is complaining about new points system.

Actually that’s true.
I have to say, seems Hankook did a good job. Am I right that Munster was the only puncture amongst the Rally1 cars? I know a couple knocked off the rims by going off, but actual punctures seemed very low.
I think a full dry tarmac rally will be a test, that’s where the quality of the rubber will be tested the most I suspect.

wtf. Neuville got only two points less than Tänak in the end?

Huge gifts from Munster and Taka for him

Neuville had a puncture before his second off.

You mean Pajari and Taka, Munster was well behind.
In the end, Neuville finished only 1 place behind Tanak and they scored the same on Sunday. Tanak was last of the trouble-free drivers, Neuville was first of the troubled ones. Well, apart from McErlean who was just bringing it home.
