[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

[Fast Eddie WRC]

I don't get the running order debate at all. Imagine it the other way round, why would you give the worst starting positions to the slower drivers? It's always going to be 'unfair' for some people. Rallying has got one of the best 'handicaps' for frontrunners available, which are purely natural in contrast to idiotic weight ballasts or reversed grids. And remember, the guy 2nd in the championship will be right behind the leader, it's not like he will be 10th or something.

Let's not even begin about tarmac events, rain, or dust, you name it.

Bang on mate - I was about to post exactly the same re the 'handicap'..

Must admit I'm surprised so many 'Liked' your post as I thought a lot were against the Championship leader being first on the road for 2 days...

Good to know there's a lot of agreement that it does make sense.
