    It's gotta cost around 80-100k to do a single WRC2 round.

    He ain't poor, neither is his family.

    And he ain't quick either.
    ...but quick enough to win the first round of the British championship:

    The money is solely from hard-won sponsors. His family havent been able to fund him since his very earliest days. He's twice had to crowdfund just to continue in the sport at all.

    And the reason he has swapped to the BRC this year is clearly because it provides much better value for money to get the seat time he needs before attempting another WRC2 event (funds permitting).

    Better to discuss about him in a BRC thread then, he is irrelevant to this topic at the moment.

    Ingram may have a point re the publicity for sponsors. I believe the WRC highlights show on FTA TV in the UK doesn't show WRC2 at all.

    I mainly posted the original info as it shows the high costs involved in WRC2 as a privateer...

    "The BRC will provide more return on investment than competing in WRC2 as a privateer. The entire six-round British Rally Championship, which includes an ERC round, national television coverage and top class competition, is valued at the same figure as a single round of WRC2 !"
