The main point for the teams involved was to sell cars to the people watching it in the forrest. And use it in advertising, or pictures and results in the newspapers.
"Win on sunday, sell on monday" was Fords slogan.
I don't see any manu's advertising or use any ralling in commercials.
Is it any point to have this manu-involvment any more? Whats the point? rally as a sport has to go back to its roots and soul to survive i'm afraid.
