Next year they will be distributed to the fastest teams already after the stages on Saturday according to the system 18-15-13-10-8-6-4-3-2-1, but on Sunday there will be a separate battle, the result , whose points are awarded according to the system 7-6-5 -4-3-2-1. If the crew finishes among the ten fastest on Saturday but does not finish on Sunday, they will not receive any points in the overall ranking of the stage. An additional point can still be collected in the “Power Stage” speed level, in which the 5-4-3-2-1 system works.
“We need more than just changes to the points system,” Tanak told Finnish media Yle. “The rally has now become more complicated for the average viewer. History has shown that complicated things have never worked for fans.”
“Toyota” team manager Jari Mati Latvala told “dirtfish.com”: “We are a little worried that it will be more difficult for the fans to understand everything. It feels a bit like there are two races at once.” As a team we do not support these changes. We’ve considered smaller changes, such as awarding a point for winning each stage. If a team in the Rally1 class drops out on Friday and comes back on Saturday, they can save tires and go full throttle on Sunday. And if they win it all on Sunday, they can collect 12 points. That’s twice as much as the five points you could previously get for a Power Stage win. I think 12 points is too much for a driver who retired I didn’t go the whole distance.
