Pantealex: IMHO If Suninen is 3rd it is TIE and Evans will be champion because he was 14th in Portugal and Suninen was 16th. Am I right? Anybody?

That is how I see it too... But the rules for ties are not clear for me...

But Suninen was ahaed of Evans in both Poland and Finland. So Suninen will be champion.

10.1.2 According to the greater number of highest places achieved in the final classifications on their respective Championship, counting only those rallies in which each of the drivers and co-drivers concerned have taken part, one 11th place being worth more than any number of 12th places, one 12th place being worth more than any number of 13rd places, and so on.


In the event of a tie I take this rule to mean that you factor in more than one result (greater number of highest places). So we need to look at the WRC2 classifications on rallies in which they both took part.

Portugal: Evans 14th // Suninen 16th
Poland: Evans 2nd // Suninen 1st
Finland: Evans 3rd // Suninen 2nd

So Suninen has the greater number of highest places (2), plus his best highest place (when head to head with Evans) is higher (1st).

I'll admit the wording is quite vague. Most rulebooks seem to be. But this is my best interpretation...

Wouldn't it be nice to have a WRC2 championship where competitors drive directly against each other in stead of avoiding each other for half of the season...

Anyway the possibility of tie is quite high and if this happen and Suninen would finally be champion I would laugh...well , at least until beginning of next season.

Yes but

First rule:
10.1.1 According to the greater number of first places, then second places, then third places, etc.,
achieved in the final classifications on their respective Championship, counting only those rallies which
have served to make up their points total;

Do they mean the 7 rallies of which 6 results counted? Or only the 6 in which they score points? If it is 7, the 14th place of Evans (vs 16th for Suninen) will make him champion...

Simmi, why have you brought up Portugal where neither of them had nominated it as their WRC2 round?

If Suninen comes third in Wales, then they have finished exactly the same number of times first, second, third and fourth. What do they compare next? Stage wins?

Eh? Check the entry list. They both nominated it as a WRC2 round. It will just end up as their dropped score.

All the rules are posted within the thread. Just nobody here quite knows how to interpret them.

Dupanton: Well I am little bit lost, and honestly after all of this: https://youtu.be/M68GeL8PafE?t=1m25s

Franky: They both had nominated Portugal as their WRC2 round. So Simmi´s point is right.

[Franky]

Ok, my bad. Just looked at the "very easy to understand" WRC2 championship standings results on wrc.com

In that case I'd imagine that Evans would win it.
