Elfyn is a gentleman, his views on the point system, even though he gained with it, he still shows his true honor. Respect!
Thank you to Elfyn Evans - he comes away with the biggest points haul of the rally and still has the integrity to say that this system is garbage for not properly awarding the rally winner.
Yes he is a good man
Except the rally winner stopped racing Saturday morning and didn't deserve the most points. The system did exactly what it was supposed to. It gave the most points to the driver who performed all 3 days. This Rally would have been trash after Saturday morning if the Sunday points weren't on offer.
@@ruzaroosyou have a great point. Agree with you. Not as exciting for the spectators but he wanted the win. And since he's not a full time driver, it makes no huge dent with the others.
Who should EP have raced against after Taka went off? Rallying is not just showing off it is about who keeps it together and brings the car home fastest overall.@@ruzaroos
@@ruzaroos I agree with you that this was the purpose of the new points system; it's just that I believe that purpose is deeply flawed. It effectively re-defines a rally into a different sport than what I and many others fell in love with - it goes against the ethos of rally's history. I think it's a very artificial attempt to induce short-burst excitement, at the expense of the competition's sporting merit. To be more succinct, I think the winner and the person who takes home the most points needs to be the person who finishes every stage in the shortest overall time - that is as close as it gets to "sacred."
Congrats to Fourmaux on his first podium and EP on a long-overdue win. 🏆
EP's victory has to be one of the most popular results in recent times. Bravo!
Elfyn is so humble.. congratulations lappi!
Thanks for tuning in for Rally Sweden! What was everyones favorite part of the rally? 🇸🇪
I think Fourmaux giving old Malcolm a podium for his birthday was top notch. Also loved Neuville's car destroying jump. 😂
All three manufacturers on the podium.
The really difficult conditions of Friday.
Shown us who was able to adapt, and who pushed a bit too hard.
He set the record of 40m with that jump! 🏆
@@DirtFish - Neuville probably wants the championship too much, that's why he'll never win it. All bets are off.
Thanks you DirtFish for your amazing work
💪
🎉 Forever #forcraig !!!!💯💯❤️❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪
Thank you Colin for bringing us the coverage it's been a good season so far
Not sure I'm a fan of the idea the winner scoring less points than 2nd place.
Agree.
Agree with Evans about the new points system. Bad thing.
Bravo Adrien and Alexandre for 3rd. M-Sport will be very happy.
Congratulations Esapekka "EP" Lappi!
🇫🇮💙 FLYING FINN 💙🇫🇮
🔥🔥🔥 Onnea EP!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lappi (Finnish) = Lapland (English)
He really deserves this one.
우승한 라피선수와 현대랠리팀에 축하를 보냅니다~ 멋진 경기였습니다. 바뀐 차량다자인도 너무 멋집니다
Loved the friday difficult conditions, that's what rallying is all about!
The pinnacle of this years rally was taking pictures with Colin, truly a dream come true ☺
The points system has to be changed immediately to something that makes sense. As it is now it's an insult to the competitors and the fans.
So glad to be the first to comment & congratulations Lappi on his win. Super stoked for him.
Whomever came up with the points system needs to leave and never return its criminal.
Micheal massi in wrc?
@@bisasohussein1783 don't bring f1 into it and these 2 situations are not the same
Ťhank u dirtfish 4 the great coverage of ALL the seasons so far 👍
Sweden was amazing rally to watch
The biggest thing that we'll remember from this season is the shitty points system.
The point system is rubbish! EP should have the most points of this weekend shame on FIA!
If the winner is not taking more points than others, something is really wrong.
Evans 24
Lappi 19
Fourmaux and Neuville 18
But Lappi has won?
Bit of an anti climax
On the other hand the points represent the amount of work they had to put in - Lappi was starting behind and later it was easy to control with minute ahead - Evans pushed all days and car was okay - Neuville and Fouraux with similar point score also makes sense. I don't cry about points because Lappi always has his Sweden winner title attached to him from now onwards but nobody remembers the points
@@0626love yeah but i think time will tell. Monaco was exiting till the finish. Sweden wasn't, but mainly cause of the conditions. Starting positions maybe need a review.
@@Akash-uq8wg I guess a lot of it depends on luck whether the drivers end up just few seconds apart when fighting on Sunday.
The Hyundai's fell short in the first stages of the day already, so it killed some major fights of the day.
I still wonder if it was about the preparation Toyotas did in arctic or do Hyundais suffer from smth more chronic. We'll see in next events.
One more point on Lappi, and its a nice example of how points depend upon work put it, if Lappi actually pushed on final day as well, he had the chance of scoring the highest points,
but the reality is, it would have been too risky for Lappi (exactly because the win itself counts more than points for him at this exact moment) -
the old system relied more on the luck aspect (you somehow get into lead and hold it through SUnday and get more points for that while not doing that much actual work).
ANyway, not defending the new system too much, but it's still usable, and somewhat interesting.
Finally a real Sweden Rally, with a lot of snow. A thousand thanks to Colin and his team to make fantastic video for all of us 👏👏🥂
Thanx great chanel
Nice to see a refreshing podium with all constructors
Brilliant coverage as usual guys see you in Croatia in April ;)
Respect to Elfyn for sharing his perspective on the points system; I'm worried that WRC is going to enter the same pitfall that NASCAR did here in the States changing their scoring system and race format. Both motorsports have a small yet loyal and devoted audience, and throwing them under the bus in order to court casual viewers just results in both demographics becoming disinterested.
I was thinking about this comparison today and completely agree with your points. If I remember correctly, Nascar said their playoffs system was meant to create something like "game 7" moments. The problem is that if you contrive every race to have a game 7 moment, they are no longer game 7 moments by nature because they happen all the time. The ability to have a special race is immediately neutered by the nature of the rules, while devaluing the competition itself. I think your comparison of the fan bases is very valid too. WRC doesn't necessarily have casual fan appeal - and that's fine, but they can't afford to alienate the existing fan base to find fictional casual viewers.
The new point system are dumb...
Despite Esapekka winning he is not awarded the full points. Stupid points system has shown to fail espesially now
Congrats with the epic rally Sweden win, Evans!
From not having a seat in the WRC to a long overdue win, also congrats to Adrien for a performance like this.
great great work dirtfish! now make magic and give us some drive to survive kind of thing! will be the thing in 2025!
Thank you Dirtfish for another great weekend!
TY for the great job every weekend..
I think the friday was great, unfair conditions sure, but seeing these cars plows through those conditions was mega.
As I've said before WRC AND F1 ,WRC IS LIKE BARBED WIRE TO COTTON WOOL, PERIOD AND MY FAVOURITE CAR IS THE MARK 2ESCORT BUT EVERY BODY TO THEIR OWN, PERIOD MAY LONG IT LIVE ,BRIAN FROM IRELAND
Amazing content as always, looking forward welcoming you to Greece for the Acropolis
Looking forward to seeing the rally1 cars with snorkels on in Kenya!! Hoping for some crazy weather
It's summer time here prepare for dusty stages
@@johnsonwelimo7650 isn’t the main rainy season March / April?
Yah, for sure you are very right
It's great to have all three maufactures on the podium instead of just one
It's shame the winner of the rally doesn't get the most points.
Those turbochargers and hybrid systems are probably loving _16 below
Many drivers are in a position, which goes against being focused and sensible those conditions require. No real goal, too much pressure, no confident etc. Lappi looked a lot more mature and professional in interviews than he has before. Fourmaux looked like a race driver too.
As always, great coverage from dirtfish. Thanks everyone on the team!
The new points system is terrible. The FIA should focus on simplifying things to attract new spectators, not making things more complicated. Try explaining to an outsider that the winner of the event does not get the most points - it makes absolutely no sense. The fact that there's points for the power stage was already bad enough...
If the organization wants to give an incentive for drivers to push on more stages, they should give them an advantage related to their stage results as the event progresses. Something to do with tire choice, starting order, etc. Even some sort of BOP (based on ballast and/or hybrid boost) would be better than the current point system chaos.
In my opinion, points should be based *only* on the final standings.
Bravo Adrien,
Sans doute que la Ford est inférieure à la Toyota... Et bon point pour Lappi qui semble un garçon simple et sympathique...
Belles images. Merci
These guys are absolutely flying in these conditions. .. wow, if you apply the fact that 90% of Americans cannot drive hardly at all let alone when it snows they can’t even drive to the store let alone do anything like this. This is fun to watch just balls to the walls literally. True driving skill because they are constantly shifting correcting mistakes. Like they said the rally of the least mistakes wins
well done hyundai 👏 hyundai will bee dis year champions 2024 next month in kenya 🇰🇪march 28-31 march 2024 🤟
Nice 👍
Credit to Elfyn re points system, it isn’t fair!
Can someone explain me the point system??? LoL
Lappi first with 19 points
Evans second with 24 points
Taka needs to be dropped back to Rally 2. He needs to learn Dicipline
This was such a boring round. Competition was pretty much dead mid day 1. I wish i had half the optimism that people have for Taka. The wacky points system was the biggest talking point. Thank you for the great coverage all the same
E.P. won, Evans got the most points, a good one all in all.
Lappi is in the record books and has the trophy. He's a part-time driver. The points don't matter, which is why he drove like a grandmother after Katsuta crashed and got outscored by Evans. Having 3 cars crash out and being faster than the two snow plow drivers on Friday is not some titanic victory. He maintained a time advantage over 2/8 drivers clearing the snow on Friday, 3/8 of the field crashing out, and 2/8 driving a Ford 😂 This is not the rally to complain about the points system. The point system carried this rally after Katsuta crashed. The top 3 were separated by 2 tenths on the power stage because of the points system. Stage 16 and 17 were actually relevant because of the point system.
New points does encourage attacking on the last day, instead of saving tyres the whole Sunday.
EP definitely didn't have confidence, due to his crashes last year, to push the whole rally.. once he was clear, he was always going to cruise to end..
Where as Theirry was confident enough to push all through monte, and he gets to bank more points.
I don't think the point values are fully correct, but the concept is working better than i thought.
Plus rally is never a level playing field.. leader is either sweeping at a disadvantage, or clean road with advantage.. so first couple of days gives them a chance to sort themselves out, and then there is plenty to play for come Sunday
hyundai top and always be top 1 any road best team and good drivers.
Later than FIA because of…😅ﾗｯﾋﾟ&ﾌｪﾙﾑﾕｳｼｮｳｵﾒﾃﾞﾄｳ
Colin Clarke please remove the sweet before speaking
Everyone crying over the points system. But I think it is fine. The points represent quite well the work the drivers put in. And Lappi still has the Sweden winners title attached to his name forever but no one remembers the points he got.
Why people who watch this, find hard to like it ?
New point system.
