Super response from KM to Capito
Cars run in championship order for the first 2 days, so Ogier is sweeping for two days on gravel rallies. Rally2 crews no longer go to the start of the running order so they're not there to fall back on either.What is the deal/rules with the running orders atm? I don't follow changes like that at all.
I think this is the fairest way imo. Can never please everyone.Cars run in championship order for the first 2 days, so Ogier is sweeping for two days on gravel rallies. Rally2 crews no longer go to the start of the running order so they're not there to fall back on either.
I'm not sure how it can be totally fair as someone is always going to have to sweep. Maybe qualifying ERC style might be a solution.
AUTOSPORT said:"The FIA and WRC Promoter have received a formal request to cancel next month's Rally China, round 10 of the 2016 FIA World Rally Championship.
"The Federation of Automobile and Motorcycle Sports of China (CAMF) and event organiser Le Sports cited heavy damage to the route caused by torrential storms and flooding last month in the region around Huairou, near Beijing, where the rally was to be staged.
"Despite a last minute visit to China last week by representatives from the FIA and WRC Promoter, and the best efforts by all concerned, it was said to be impossible to affect the necessary repairs for the event to run.
"According to CAMF and Le Sports the adverse weather left sections of the route to be used as special stages requiring major repair work which the region's Road Administration Authority confirmed could not be completed before reconnaissance for the rally was due to start.
"Some of the worst floods in China for many years forced tens of thousands of people to evacuate their homes in the north of the country, prompting authorities to introduce emergency measures in the region, which continue.
"The rally will not be replaced in this year's FIA World Rally Championship, which will now comprise 13 rounds."
