Having fun, and doing what makes you happy should be something everyone should aim for.
If that is using your own money to drive a rally1 car, why the heck not?
The only reason it's a "problem" is due to the lack of seats in the top class. It's not like we didn't have multiple Serderidis' back in the "golden days". The 2000 season is a year with a fair amount of rides. 10 full time cars, loads of part time factory cars. 24 A8 cars at Monte. Almost 1hr40 min after Mäkinen was the slowest A8 - beaten by all classes except N1. Granted, it was an older car, but you could find an Impreza 1998 barely inside the top 40, just like the slowest Group A/WRC car, he was there due to pace, not issues. Same in Sweden, WRC cars in the last half of the results, due to pace.
If you go through any WRC event in 2000, you are (almost) hitting a rally where you have one or more top class car(s) way down the field due to a lack of pace. I can't understand that a driver can, after multiple stages in a top-class car, being behind a Group N1 car (we are talking Renault 4, Rover Mini Cooper etc.), even after a day it was the same. I am sure they had fun doing so though.
There has always, and will always be slow people with money who wants to have fun, why not appreciate that rally is a place where this can be done. There are less and less chances for these things in motorsport sadly. And if said slow people, also financially support other driver(s), what's the issue? Want to get rid of more drivers as well?
Serderidis is a symptom. Removing the symptom doesn't cure the reason for the symptom showing.

everything you wrote is correct! even in almost every national championship there a rich guys with not sooo much talent in good and very good cars! all good!
BUT why the whole world have to see this in live stream??? they show Serderidis as he is crawling through the stage, not even pushes the gas on long straights and they dont show us Gryazin who flies trough the stages!
And this getting worse, tomorrow he will be almost sure the FIRST car on the road and gets the full audience, he gets more wrc live time than the best in the world and that is not ok....he should get the starting position he deserves, he can have his fun also as last car on the roadJuha Kankkunen: "The speed was o.K., but the corner was to tight"
