    No, no he wouldn't have. Definitely not. The fastest cars / drivers this weekend were yet again the 3 VW's, and for a couple of stages a few other drivers got lucky. These are facts

    congrats to Latvala for the win.
    massively dissapointment from all the others except Ogier of course.His pace at power stage ridiculed everybody.

    These were Evans's stage positions.....not very impressive really.

    6th, 1st, 7th, 3rd, 6th, 10th, 9th.
    He lost 40 secs alone to Latvala today, Saturday 24 secs.

    But great performance nevertheless.

    He wins the RGT class at the wheel of his 911. "Driving the Porsche here in Corsica is not easy. I'm so happy because I think we also won the championship."

    Congratulations for him if he is!

    As for Evans I do agree with you his pace was not worth a second place or even a podium but we should praise him for his pace on that stage in very very difficult conditions. Maybe if they wouldn't canceled the big stage in that condition he could have had more advantage. What I want to say is that sometimes rally is also driving in a mess like it was the stage where i gained so much time.
    In normal condition it is clear he is nowhere.

    So finally, how is the case with the points? Will the drivers receive full points or will they receive only half points? There were rumours here in this forum that with less than 75% kms run there are only half points. So I am confused
    Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

    Have some people on here never watched a rally before? You don't decide your end result by adding together what position you were in on each stage.

    After all the stages the stopwatch had Elfyn in second - so, in a rally where everyone had equal conditions, how does he not deserve to finish second?

    I want him to do well but I'm not some blinkered Evans apologist. I don't think he's impressed much at all during his WRC career and I have been critical of him - but I'll say what I said the other day - let's give credit where it's due.

    You can't start adding on stages that didn't exist and you can't predict what would happen in them and brand that as 'fact'. There's no reason why Evans couldn't have put time into, or at least matched Latvala, in those horrendous conditions on Friday. But those stages never ran so we have what we have.

    On wrc+ showed Latvala with 160, so this should mean full points
