Wrc2 2016

[pantealex]

if they count only 6 best results then I see no reason why 7th result would matter.

In my mind if they both have (25+25+25+18+15+12=120)
Both should be Champions!

[bluuford]

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...

In WRC there was a rule than when everything is equal then there is tie breaker. And it is very simple, who is faster on the first stage of the year

[Andre Oliveira]

Suninen was not in WRC field in Monte-Carlo

Unless my italian has gone to shit, BRC are thinking of competing in WRC2 in -17. Unless I read it wrong they say they can't use their GPL converted Fiesta R5 that they were using in CIR (which would make sense since the WRC use standard fuels etc).

Any proper italian here (AL14 per chance?) that can shed some light on this?

[Andre Oliveira]

I remember Basso only used GPL car in first 3 events this season, then back to Benzina

[Mirek]

Campedelli continued with the GPL car and he wasn't slow at all.

[Andre Oliveira]

No i think they remove some weight this year. Last year the GPL kit is heavier

What you say is correct, but BRC in WRC2 is more like a wish of who wrote the article, rather than a rumor.

It's funny cause I write for that website.
Yes I can confirm the rumor 100% but really it is only a "proper" rumor. Nothing that we can confirm but voices we've heard. I think it would not be correct for me to say more. My personal opinion is that It is a bit difficult that it will actually happen but not impossible, especially since we heard that rumor.
Basso's Fiesta is with fuel. Campedelli's uses GPL.

Ohhh, that's clever!

I guess it's too late to see Craig Parry's name appear as a driver...?

Clever, but i don't know why they did it. Maybe Hubert loses his driver licence...
