Percentages are just fancy numbers without proper context.

May I ask to what data are they comparing? Didn't the World RX start in 2014?

RALLYFIEND:
yeah. WRC is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY bigger than RallyX! THe series is just on its second year (talking about investments. RallyX is around since 1967).
2014 was their first Global experience. And U re right, Its all about 2015! But I think RallyX its something "unwittingly-dedicated" to atract younger fans into the Rally World. I'm 28 but I just started to follow WRC this year BECAUSE of RallyX. So I think RX could be something really positive to WRC y'know? And it could also help to bring the racing fever back to live again.

FRANKY:
Yes. Percentages are fancy, but the numbers are thrilling. Is good for them and for the Fans. I used to be an Indycar fan but I just QUIT because all of the negativity and bad numbers around it. So positive things are something great.
And I think they are comparing everything to last year's Monster Energy RallyCrossRX series. Or the so called Euro RallyCross championship.

In that case the numbers don't mean anything, except to show what you can do with proper promotion. If the numbers grow in similar style compared to 2014, then there's something to be proud of.
