Power Stage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 81.90.124.205 (talk) at 16:58, 20 October 2024 (By co-drivers). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The Power Stage (abbreviated as PS) is a special stage that usually runs as the final stage of a rally in the World Rally Championship (WRC)[a] and European Rally Championship (ERC). Additional championship points are available to the fastest five crews through the stage regardless of where they actually finished in the rally.[2] Unlike normal special stages, which are timed to a tenth of a second, the timing of the Power Stage is to a thousandth of a second.[3]

Points scoring systems

The bonus scoring system was once used at the 1999 Tour de Corse and 1999 Rally Finland.[4][5] Re-introduced in 2011, the top three crews through the stage could score extra bonus points, with the fastest crew receiving three points, the second-fastest receiving two points, and the third-fastest receiving one point.[5] In 2017, the scoring system was amended so the five fastest drivers through the stage were awarded points from five for first to one for fifth.[6] Manufacturers, WRC-2 and WRC-3 categories were also eligible to score Power Stage points in 2021. From 2022, WRC-2 awarded Power Stage points from three for first place, to one for third place. However, it was axed from 2024 onwards.[7] Power Stage points are no longer awarded in WRC-3.

Power Stages were also introduced during the 2022 European Rally Championship, using the final stage of each rally and awarding points to the five fastest crews in a similar fashion to the WRC.[8][9]
