I calculated the old system (2023) with this year final results and it is confirmed that Neuville would still take the title.


Neuville |211
Evans |194
Tanak |176
Ogier |171
Fourmaux |136
Rovanpera|117
Katsuta |94
Munster |50
Sordo |43
Lappi |31
Mikkelsen |29

2023 point sstem
->18, 15, 13, 10, 8, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1 - saturday standings (must finish the rally to score)
->7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - sunday standings
->5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - power stage standings

Imagine now if Neuville would go on & sign for Toyota for 2025, that would be funny...In all seriousness though, I can't wait for 2025 to arrive, 2 months 'till Monte-Carlo...

Interesting to note that both Evans and Tanaks gap to Neuville is less compared to this years system.

Elfyn gets a win and Sami gets the championship. Not a bad rally for me.

Congratulations to Thierry and Martijn


SS18: Mikkelsen is the first in and has some honest and sincere congratulations for his team-mate and friend, 2024 WRC champion, Thierry Neuville. Very happy for [Neuville], well deserved. Very happy for him."

These calculations don’t make sense at all. How come they had so much less points than overall in the end?

Yeah but probaly many of them wouldn't push on sunday at all, so it's quite irrevelant. I did it just to compare that it seems they get it right with that points. I did it also for 2025 and it looks again, that Neuville would win it.

Neuville |250
Evans |225
Tanak |215
Ogier |197
Fourmaux |154
Katsuta |108
Rovanpera|100

Looking forward to see happy Neuville flatout on tarmac for the first time in 2024 basically

Neuville went flat out in Monte this year beating Ogier in his own garden and taking the full 30 points. But the real high point of the season was on Saturday of the Croation Rally when he Neuville did one of his finest drives when Huyndai made the wrong tire choice, especially during SS14: Neuville A phenomenal run from Thierry Neuville, who goes quickest in the rain on SS14. He retakes the rally lead and goes 3.5sec quicker than Toyota's Sébastien Ogier."I don't know, I went flat out. When we found out there could be rain at the end, we just went flat out. It looks like we didn't have the optimal [tyre] choice so far, but we're going to try hard."

Congrats to Thierry, I know he gets some flak, but for me he deserves to have WC against his name.
Pretty cool that everything went down to the last stage of the last rally for the constructors championship. The super Sunday thing does do some good, I just wish the rally win was more valuable in isolation.
