Points rules change 24hrs before start @ 04:29 PM - Strong rumours in Monte Carlo say that the day points are cancelled. Originally each rally day should have given 3-2-1points for the top3 instead of SupeRally. It is not clear now if SupeRally will be returned in its 2005 set up or cancelled altogether, giving little point in retired crews re-starting. However according to Rallye1.de Manfred Stohl has said "The change is good because to score points a driver should complete the entire distance."

Hoping it will be cancelled altogether.

Come on the day points 3-2-1 were cancelled allready when the new rules came out in December at FIA homepage. The only change in superally will be 10 minutes penalty for missing the 1st stage and no penalty for the 2nd stage and from 3rd stage 5 minute penalty for every missed stage.
There will be no change in that.

Slight sidenote, on http://www.pitstop.tv I read that manufacturers are only allowed six engines and limited amount of transmissions this season. If they violate they get a five minute penalty, anyone heard anything about that?

out of curiosity, what is the definition of an engine? a case? because you could probably do an entire season with no more than 2-3 cases per car if you have the man power and the money to rebuild them all the time. is this anyother cost cutting program by the FIA? does anyone see the falicy in this too?

Why not read the rules instead of pitstop?

Why should the official 2007 WRC rules be outdated?
