This was applied in the past and it actually worked very well in IRC. It was called a Golden Stage. It was held only once per year and it was also avarded with quite a lot of money.
Here's Neuville's epic drive through it in 2011 (crazy moment @ 1:50): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3dj13W7dSkLast edited by Mirek; 18th June 2019 at 19:37.

I don't know if it's currently possible within the rules, but I think that there should always be a Tyre Fitting Zone just for Priority 1 entrants prior to the Power Stage.

PS is the only thing that makes Sundays not boring, most of the time. On other hand it makes the other stages even more boring when drivers save tyres for it. The whole Sunday stages have to be rethink into something else. Now I sound like Capito.

How about after Saturday drivers get 2/3 of the points, on Sunday 1/3 of them? Or 3/4 vs 1/4? Pros and Cons?

I think the guiding principle of rally organisation should be: people come to see the drivers drive, and drive fast.
So, there should be a tyre zone before the PS. There should be a short service at the end of every loop, and a chance for retired drivers to enter restart rules in the afternoon. There should be a rally 2 on the last day of the Monte, and if their park isn't big enough for more than 60 cars then find another one. And so on.

When will we know if FIA will do adjustments or ditch the powerstage for 2020?
There are so few WRCars now, so even if you habe issues on day 1, as Ogier did in spain, you will get 1 point in 10th, and could get 5 for PS. 6 points is too much for that.

Well I don't see the problem with Power Stage, I haven't complained about it once and it is almost allways exciting. Do feel like it made the rally worse in some way? Because it seems to be really great rally with really close fights this year and previous year.

To quote the latest Dirtfish podcast.. Is Toyota is crisis ? Hyundai now lead them by 13 points and Neuville and Tanak are 1st & 2nd (=) in the WDC. Is their Driver line-up flawed, is the No...
