[WRC] FORUM8 Rally Japan 2024

If I’m right, my calculations is like this. After saturday point are Toyota 544 and Hyundai 534. Now if Hyundai drivers get mas sunday points (1st and 2nd sundey + PS) they will get 22. If Toyota gets next positions on sunday (in front of Ford - 3rd and 4th) tey will get 14. Whit this points Toyota wins manufacturer championship.

Maybe I’m wrong, correct me please.

I think that's correct (damn I hate the new points system).

All these calculations needed with this points system is ridiculous.

[CeskyOndra]

So no one knows..

[NoFear85]

For sure this points system is ridiculous.

For sure this points system is ridiculous.

Same for everybody. Just play them right!

I know he is the champ now... but still.. zero words from Neuville about like.. sry for Ott and it isn't how I wanted to get the title..

But okay.. Thierry had a really stable seadom and that brought the title!

What did you expect

Congrats to Neuville & Wydaeghe, well deserved. Gotta say though it's a very anti-climactic way to end the season, and it's weird that they interview him as champ before the rally is over, really weird, like this entire season has been.

it is a bit anticlimatic, it would have been more exciting a finish at the PS, but not that unusual. In 2011, Hirvonen retired on day 1 of the last round and Loeb became champion. I'm sure there are other examples of the chasing driver retiring.

What did you expect

True.


just max disappointed.

"To score points, the crew must be classified in the Final Classification of the Rally"

I found this, that would simply mean that Mikkelsen counts

I think that's correct (damn I hate the new points system).

Good thing they'll change it again next year (in the hopes it'll be simpler).
