Think Evans and Katsuta will be ordered to bring the cars home after that and won't go 100%. Unless Fourmaux pulls something out, Tanak may well be on course for the full 30 points here.

How the Saturday points thing works.

If Ogier will not finish today, will Tänak get 1st place points for Saturday or just Ogier will not get his Saturday points?

**Kras** · 20th October 2024, 09:58

Tanak will get 18. Everyone will be bumped up a place

Tanak is looking like the likely winner of this rally, but Neuville is the one counting his blessings. Ogier retired after a simple mistake, Neuville went off twice and survived without any damage

Ogier went off yesterday in the same spot as Neuville, survived with no damage. Today Ogier went off twice. Three times in total.

It is the case the whole season with Neuville. He always crawled back and take maximum out of bad situations. That's why he will probably win the championship.

Oh well, from 2nd to 1st and from 4th to 3rd both gains 3 more points and Ogier retirement does not change the situation between Tänak and Neuville.

These Ogier mistakes I dont believe would've happened if he was 100% convinced he was able to win the Title. The concentration and determination just hasn't been the same as if he was full-time.

Isn't it 12 points for third?

Edit: nope, seems to be 13?

Maybe he is 100% on it, but now he have proper challenge from many guys behind. Drivers becoming now more competitive, less differences in times and the risk of overpush getting higher and costly mistakes happen. I like it that way, I like that it will go on the wire on the last round, I like it to be more harder. Right now, it's very good for the championship. When Seb ''retired full time'' I was like, oh yeah... He will do that because the guys behind are closing on him and it clearly shows this year how frustrating he is.
