This Todt guy sure knows how to get things done... now if he could find a way for me to watch WRC in the US... actually in Haiti since I'll be there tomorrow.

I have to assume this is not for a vacation.

Is this a charitable endeavor ISLAMATRON, or it is work related?

Either way, good for you, nobody HAS to go there.

Went to the Dominican in 06, and went outside the resort to explore as well.

Not too different from Haiti outside of the walls of Punta Cana.

Mad respect Islam for helping out down there.

Yeah I saw that on official wrc site today too, but I first thought I had missed an episode and that must have been planned for long... But if they really changed it overnight, just the day before the season opener, wow... That's a bit late to implement a new rule!

Still, new point system wondn't have changed anything in the rankings last year, so it shouldn't be taken too dramatically:

1. Loeb 93 (229)
2. Hirvonen 92 (220)
3. Sordo 64 (151)
4. Latvala 41 (104)
5. P Solberg 35 (86)
6. H Solberg 33 (86)
7. Wilson 28 (76)
8. Ogier 24 (61)
9. Villagra 16 (44)
10. Rautenbach 9 (36)
