    WRC Organizer Cost

    This issue deserves its own thread!

    This is a very imporant signal when one of the core organizors, Sweden say no thank you to FIA - this is getting too expensive. The Fee to Promotor/ FIA is skyrocketing.

    What do both we and the organizors get in return from the promotor and FIA for the increased cost?

    What's the comparison to? How do we compare the value?

    To ERC? F1?

    I think that when the 2014 calendar is finally released that you will find that other country/s will have made the same decision for the same reason/s.
    If this is the case then it will be a very sad day for the sport world wide.

    How do the promotor and FIA share the money from fees? 50/50? 80/20 (more likely)? 20/80 (less likely)?

    No, more historic cost in WRC, at least then we compare apples and apples.

    Didn't each round of the WRC in 2012 have to pay over 150,000EUROs just to enter the calendar? Latest Motorsport News mentions that a few rallies have not signed the promotors and FIA's deal to be included in the 2014 Calendar... soooo perhaps the FIA are charging a lot of money again to be included in the WRC..?

    Rally Sweden had to pay about Ł100'000 more this year then last year (I think it was a doubled fee)
    and for a new contract the promoter wants to increase the fee again with several hundred thousand pounds (Ł).

    What motivates the raised fee? What part of the promoters expenses have increased so much that each Rally have to pay double compared to what they paid the year before?
    ...Funny how ev'rything was roses when we held on to the guns...

    Organisers had to pay an extra 100,000 this year to cover the cost of timing and tracking, which had been covered by Promoter up until NOS disappeared, then by FIA in 2012.

    The standard calendar fee paid by all world Championship events to the FIA (incl F1, WTCC etc etc) is about 150k I think.

    So the total would be around 250,000.

    Well it's promotion of tourism and fans from whole world are watching it so they count that goverment will help. And if in one country they don't want to pay, in some other they will. The end of story.
