Default the new fia points system

just been watching the rally stuff on dave and they've got a new points system

is the f1 going to use the same system?
first place gets 25 points, 10th place gets 6

and what do you think?

it's the fiesta 2000 and it's got cheaper bits on it as they have to stay within some limits imposed

think there was a write up in one of the mags where you can build your own for about £45k
