Nothing makes my head explode so lets see what a complete outsider-non-participant says is the key to mass participation on the scale of say a small country of only 5 million, example Finland.
Compare and contrast, I assume since you're a cultured world traveler you can tell us all about the roots of Finnish culture, why Finnish culture differs from the other Noric/Lutheran cultures and why a country with 1/60th the US population has approx multiples more drivers active, hundred more events and has produced generation after generation of WRC caliber drivers...
Background information on your activities in rally would add weight to your explanations.
We await your thesis.
If you don't like to talk about Finland choose some other country where rally has mass participation: Sweden, UK, France come to mind.
