1. Loeb 93 (229)

8. Ogier 24 (61)
9. Villagra 16 (44)
10. Rautenbach 9 (36)

So it wouldn't make much difference. Mikko has promised to push harder anyway. Last year, Loeb more often than Mikko, seamed to be on the limits. I'm glad that I don't pay for the cars for JM, Ogier and Kimi

I counted all top 10 finishes, I probably just forgot that some of the top 10 finishers last year were ineligible for points

Sorry for the OT, but didn't wanna start a new thread just for this.

Can someone tell me what are the rules for manufacturers' teams in 2010? (Stobart, Citroen Junior & Munchi's).

I believe they're called WRC Teams this season and that they're obliged to take at least 8 starts with at least 1 car to be eligible to score points for Manu' Championship.

Can anyone please confirm this, or correct me if I'm wrong?

Thanks!

BP Ford Abu Dhabi, Citroën Total World Rally Team and Citroën Junior Team are manufacturer teams, so the drivers can drive 09 spec cars.

Stobart M-Sport Ford Rally Team is a WRC team and do at least 8 rounds.
Munchi's WRT and e.g Monster WRT are no WRC teams. They planned 7 rounds so far.

So, it's quite different from last season, again.

But this would mean that Munchi's, Monster etc. would not be able to score points towards championship this year?
