I think just one little change would make this points system much better - at the end of rally, winner's score being upgraded to 30 points.

We would keep benefits of new points system without having weird situations like today. Also gap between winner and 2nd would be bigger when winner dominates, like Estonia 2023 and smaller in rallies like Sweden 2024, when leader kept things safe on sunday. That could be interesting.

It would not hurt if there would be more kms on sundays and maybe less on fridays.

Overall, point system is not that bad and it doesn't make sense to demand from it that it will make every sunday super exciting. Outside rally winner thing, it seems to have potential to reduce cruising.
