Bit of a suprise to see this announcement

And I thought there would be loads of comments on this ??

I suppose if it stops the 'tactics' its got to be a good thing.

So this is basically giving the drivers back what they had in the 90's where the nominate their starting road position for the day ahead?
I know Rally Australia used to be run that way, but I cant recall if other rallys were too.

Does RMC not have a Qualifying Stage? It worked well in IRC. According to this the first will be in Sweden-

"The first Qualifying Stage of the season will take place on Rally Sweden with organisers planning to use the 1.9-kilometre Super Special Stage Karlstad on Thursday 9 February to determine the starting order for day one."
