WRC Starting order leg 2 & 3
FIA need to do something to the starting order system that is in use today.
As it is today it turns the competition into a farce, and that has to stop !!!
What system do you want to see from the next rally if you could choose ?

Drivers nominate their starting position based on championship standing and then at the end of leg 1 based on their position in the rally. But that would reward the drivers who are doing well too much and rob the ignorants of the fake competition we've seen over the last couple of years and we can't have that
Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

They should start each leg in the order in which they finished the previous one. This was the system for many years, and while it could be unfair on the early runners, it was basically a fair system, and certainly devoid of gimmickry.

i would like reversed order since the current order penelize the rally leader by unfavourable road position and with reversed order we dont have to watch the ford boys embarrass themselves with stoping on stage to get a better road position.
i never understood why some motorsports branches penelizes those who perform good (starting position in rally, penelty weights in some racing diciplines).

In order of their position in the rally, after day 1 and after day 2, let the drivers decide themselves on which place they want to start.
That is according to me, very equitable.
Maybe they make the wrong choice, just like them choose their own tyres.

Leader of the Rally should always get the best advantage, that's the best way to reward a leader and motivate anyone to reach that position
When you're tired of rallying...you're tired of life

Starting order should stay as is but points should be awarded after each day. The one with the most points at the end of the rally win.
