of course they are against this rule, obviously, but I still haven't heard from any driver commenting about the possible shoot-outs next year...?

Personally I would use superally crews to sweep the road in second and third day.

The proposed system goes way to far, and to me the view of the drivers are reasonable. If FIA does not want reversed order, it has to be the rally leader the one to open the road in day 2 and 3, not the championship leader...
Also as Mirek said, running before the superally cars doesn't make sense to me

The promoter does realise that by trying to get more money out of TV, it'll just lead to getting less money form TV?

Money might remain, but niche channels have very small viewership.

Totally agree Mirek!
You should have a very hard time getting on the podium if your equipment breaks down, no matter what reason.

I think you guys speak the right things about starting order. However not forgetting that this used to be the way rules were in the beginning of 2000 or late 90´s. Remember those silly stops at the end of stages? That has to be taken care of if starting order should be as above.

Totally forgot that farce

How the hell do they write a letter about the running order but just accept the most ridiculous plan for 2015?






....The final day shootout sh*te

As I said send the superally cars first. They won't create so much "what if" fuzz anymore and there will be no reason for silly tactics. The only tactics to avoid sweeping would be not to crash. That's fair, don't You think?
