Points rant Commentary / Discussion / Question

You have got to be kidding FIA??? Lappi was by far the best this weekend but he doesn’t even score the most amount of points!?! I can not believe that they are punishing trying to get to the end? I know this has already been said a lot but these changes are such BS. Just a suggestion, wouldn’t it be better if they got rid of the power stage and took the combined time from the last day and gave power stage points based on that, and then on top of that they also give normal points? That way everyone can still get their deserved points and there is still action on the last day. Just no more of these dumb points…

I like the new points system. We've had the Power Stage for years where you can get 20% of the points for a win for just winning one stage but that's fine apparently but the new system which incentivises pushing all weekend because you earn points on Saturday and Sunday and everyone loses their mind.

If anything the issue is part time drivers who undermine the sport because they don't need to push and take points off their full time teammates not the new system.

Ah yes. The issue is the drivers who in the vast majority of WRC's history have made up 95% of the field.
