World Rally Championship special stage
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 [ edit ] 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]
