Silly Season 2019

Something like this used to happen in the 90's I believe. I remember reading Colin McRae's book and he mentioned a time when he almost missed pulling his name out of the hat and if he did he would have been first on the road.
Something like that anyway. Maybe it's not a bad idea....But then you would have drivers complaining of "bad luck"

Not pulled from the hat. The driver who was leading after day 1 got to pick his road position first the day after. I think Colin once showed up late and had to go first the day after. But the first day was always in championship order, although it could have been a short day as well.

This, of course, was a result of drivers stopping at the ends of the last stages of the day to get a better road position.

Ahh, the rally when Delecour started the next day 20-ish minutes early to sweep the stage a tiny bit before McRae started. Not that it helped much as Delecour had his first of 2 major crashes in two years in Rally Australia that year.
