WRC Calendar 2025

Can you edit that to make sense? Who's opening the road?

Your lack of reading comprehension seems like a "you problem", not a "me problem". Your hostility is uncalled for.

Hostility inferred is a "you problem". No hostility was implied at all.

If reversing results only applies to gravel, if your last rally means the last rally results and if you got gravel and tarmac the wrong way round then I think you're on to a good idea. However, probably not as good as just mixing up the calendar.

I think he's proposing a system like this, he'll correct me if I'm wrong (I'll use only 4 drivers to make it simple)
Round 1 final classification:
1 - Tanak
2 - Neuville
3 - Ogier
4 - Evans

Round 2 starting order (gravel)
Tanak
Neuville
Ogier
Evans

or if round 2 is on asphalt:
Evans
Ogier
Neuville
Tanak

So the championship leader Tanak gets a disadvantage on round 2 to level the field, but unless he wins round 2, he won't be at the bad end of the running order in round 3, regardless if he's the championship leader or not.
In this case, I think I would be fair that if a driver DNF on round 1, he gets a good starting order on round 2, no reason to penalize a driver who already retired in previous round. If a driver DNS though, could be an idea to give him the short end of the stick and a bad road position on round 2.
Would be easier to just have a couple more asphalt round, though.
