Power Stage
Power Stage is a special stage that usually runs as the final stage of a rally in the World Rally Championship. Additional World Championship points are available to the top five crews through the stage regardless of where they actually finished in the rally. Unlike normal special stage, which is timing to tenth of a second, the timing of power stage is to the thousandth of a second.
Points scoring systems
The bonus scoring systems was once used at 1999 Tour de Corse and 1999 Rally Finland. Re-introduced in 2011, 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. 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.Seasons | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th |
