    Here's my guesstimate for real drivers salaries based on rumors and conjecture. Not including bonuses for wins or sponsor money.

    $9.2M - Sebastian Ogier
    $1.5M - Jari-Matti Latvala
    $1M - Thierry Neuville
    $500k - Kris Meeke
    $300k - Juho Hanninen
    $150k - Hayden Paddon
    $100k - Esapekka Lappi
    $100k - Dani Sordo
    $50k - Ott Tanak
    $50k - Elfyn Evans
    $0 - Craig Breen
    $0 - Andreas Mikkelsen
    $0 - Stephane Lefebvre
    $0 - Eric Camilli

    Thoughts?
    LOL for example take Sordo as a points collector and regular finisher, i would never say that he drives whole season, risk his life for 100k$.

    I agree that it's unlikely, but many will pay $$$$$s just to compete.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    This sounds about right.

    Also, Elfyn has a job at the garage in-between rallies so clearly not on mega bucks, if any. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jArNseEd_8I

    Mikkelsen was asked to pay if he wanted to drive a DMack car (refused obviously), so definitely the only salary would be from his sponsors, according to the article they didn`t take sponsorships into account. Full of rubbish and nothing else.

    I doubt WRX get paid too much, but when you compare it to F1, Indycar, Sportscars, basically any professional circuit racing, I'd say yes.

    Back in the day McRae was apparently one of the highest salaried sportsmen in the UK. At the time he was on a rumoured £4m+ which would be more than most premiership footballers at the time.

    In terms of current stars, I suspect that Latvala would earn more than trials riders or raid drivers. Plus I doubt that any drag racer outside of the US is on much of a salary, given that it costs so much to run the cars.

    No

    its the same in any top level motorsport

    those that can win, get paid.

    Those that make up the numbers are lucky they get anything.

    rumour is Ogier on $6m USD inc bonus, and that excludes personal endorsements.

    Mikkelsen & Neuville not living in Monaco for nothing, any less than a few million usd a year, or its not viable.
