Has the WRC found the sweet spot with its 2025 points system?
OPINION: The much derided 2024 points system has been revamped for next year. Although it would make very little difference to the outcome of his year's championship, the tweaks appear to be an improvement
The World Rally Championship will adopt a revamped and much simpler points system next year to replace 2024’s widely criticised and often confusing concept. Confirmation of the new system, announced at last week's World Motor Sport Council, has been much anticipated following a season where the distribution of points generated more headlines than the rallies themselves.
Eight-time world champion Sebastien Ogier went as far as labelling this year’s points system a “joke”, with his main gripe being that this complex system devalued rally wins and was difficult to understand. His was a view shared by his rivals, teams and fans.
