[WRC] News & Rumours (part V) 2017

It is probable that they are using the same car (chassis) from the begining of the season, but the material is replaced between the rallyes, for sure. So, the problems are not related with that kind of wearing issue that you point.

Have to say I completely agree with Penasse here around manufacturer points:

Still score points with two but don't allow drivers to take points they didn't earn.

I actually thought it was already like this, I agree as well.

[HaCo]

I agree as well!

Well, having 3rd car playing role is not that bad. It adds additional level of competition. I don't see it as unfair.

I actually disagree, I like it the way it is

Me too. Penasse's idea is nonsense. You get 3 shots at 2 scoring spots. Your 3rd placed competitor doesn't score points for manufacturer and doesnT block others points. That's exactly as it should be.

I on the contrary, also agree with Penasse and can`t see any nonsense. TDC for example...Paddon finished the whole event and didn`t score points (I`m ok with that two car rule, so Neuville and Sordo took the points) but rally2 driver Tänak finished 11th, but took 6th place points. For what? IMHO 7th place (7th best RC1 car) would have been more honest.

I would like to correct my statement, because I misunderstand the article. I think blocking the points is more fair, and it does add additional level of competition. Not only that, I think WRC2 cars should also block points, because with 10 WRC cars on average, they will score points even after restartin next day after retirement.

It was like now in the past, I do not see any reason for changes. We do not change all the things all the time when something is not as we like. World is unfair to someone anyway. Next they find some other things unfair? I like when the things are stable. Keep the rules as they are, it is nice competition right now. No need to add extra confusion and changes. Rules are the same for everyone. At the end of the day, one loses in one event other loses in other event. DO NOT TOUCH THE RULES!
