So last weekend

Ogier = 1.0 * ((30*10) + (30 * 10 * 0.3 * 1)) = 390
Lukyanuk = 0.5 * ((30*10) + (30 * 20 * 0.3 * 0.7)) = 213
Lazslo Zoltan = 1.0 * ((0*10) + (30 * 1 * 0.3 * 0.5)) = 4.5

Jari Huttunen = 1.0 * ((2*10) + (17 * 20 * 0.3 * 0.7)) = 91.4
Andrea Crugnola = 1.0 * ((7*10) + (30 * 20 * 0.3 * 0.7)) = 196

Kalle Rovanpera = 1.0 * ((9*10) + (9 * 10 * 0.3 * 1)) = 117
Patrizia Perosino = 1.0 * ((0*10) + (0 * 20 * 0.3 * 0.7)) = 0


I think.

I'm not sure what purpose it serves. Does it really add any value to the sport? I'd much rather they concentrate on working to add more manufacturers to the paltry 3 we currently have.

Might help with onboarding sponsors when a driver wants to climb in and drive a Toyota, Hyundai, Ford, Citroen, Peugeot, Proton, Skoda, Volkswagen, Opel, Renault, Abarth, Alpine, or even Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Mini, Audi, Dacia...

In official rules for GRR i do not see anything about additional points which are given for legs.

For a Rally2 driver, it was harder competition in ERC than in WRC this year.
So it seems to be too much of a difference btw those two series.
Maybe ERC should be at 0,7 compared to WRC @ 1.0 and the other regional championships @ 0,4.

Well there is a coefficient for number of starters. WRC2 has so few this year that it should reduced the rankings.

No idea how it will work in 2022 with merging of WRC2/3.

It's a lot harder v Rally1 overall, but yes it does multiply by class results too. Perhaps a ROI guarantee! I'm not sure I agree ERC was harder than combined WRC2/3.

It's done by Rally2, so no difference between 2022 and 2021.

why waste time, energy and money on another pointless thing..

That was only thing missing from world rallying..
It's so attractive that now new manus and drivers will run like crazy to participate!

The only reason why this exists is that some useless people emplyed by FIA need to show an activity to get paid. Same things happen in every corporate or bureaucratic structure.
