The WRC and the FIA are discussing ideas like Sunday format changes and a new points structure in an attempt to improve the championship's appeal. Full story:
The WRC is currently undergoing an extensive review in a bid to improve its appeal following recent criticism from drivers, teams and fans.
However, more significant changes to championship events won’t be made until next year with the WRC confirming that improving its Sunday format is at the top of its agenda. “This would mean that someone who has had to rejoin under Super Rally [rules] could get more points which would be worth the driver to invest in. At the moment if there is somebody that is out of the points, they are cruising the last three stages, and then they go for it on the Power Stage.
“Maybe we can also have the tyre fitting zone or regroup before the Power Stage, that is more interactive. A grid walk [with fans] and things like that. This has to be harmonised with the parc ferme rules, but there is a way to do it. The good news is there is nobody road blocking anything.”
