NEW POINTS SYSTEM SET TO SHAKE UP RALLIES
Arguably the biggest change heading into the 2024 season is the FIA’s decision to introduce an all-new points scoring system.
Points will be awarded under the scale of 18-15-13-10-8-6-4-3-2-1 to those in the top 10 at the end of Saturday, but only to those crews who reach the final classification of the rally at the end of Sunday. The Saturday points of any crew who fail to finish on Sunday will be awarded to the next best-placed pairing. Additional points will be awarded for a separate classification based purely on the Sunday stages to the top seven, on a 7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis.
The prime reason for the new system is to prevent drivers from cruising through Sunday’s stages preserving tyres for the end-of-rally Power Stage. Points for the Power Stage will remain unchanged, with the five fastest drivers receiving bonus points, from five for the winner to one for fifth.
