why drive like maniacs only to slow down at the end ? might as well drive slower throughout the stage ? and be most aggressive on day 3 ?

- Pet_Ant 3y agoBecause you wanted second place, not third or latter? Maybe because you didn’t want the track too chewed up?
- manquer 3y agoYou don’t know what is going to be second or any other place , every one is going to be doing same thing . You would only know what the current leader board looks like . Remember rally is raced against the clock not against other cars. If you had a target time you should be be able pace yourself reasonably close to that time ?
- NikolaNovak 3y agoDepending on your placement, you might. I.e. If my biggest competitor is ahead of me in order, the team will radio me their split times and finish times and tell me exactly the finish time I need to be second behind them. Again, the system intentionally put champions up front, so everybody behind them knew the champions finish time. It was a self reinforcing system :-/
- speed_spread 3y agoGive a good show, keep sponsors happy?
- manquer 3y agoEveryone wants to see the finish line in a race ? Better slow half way in where no one is watching and finish in style ?
- turboponyy 3y agoIt would still be important to rank high, just not win.
- manquer 3y agoYou would still target the same time you want , just the way you are achieving will be achieve it differently . just giving more points for finishing in day 1 or 2 could have also solved the problem I think
