Who earns money as a WRC driver?
Everything I've read in this forum suggests that most of the drivers have to pay to compete...why? I'm assuming Loeb and Gronholm make money, but who else?

A few others - but this should be respected as private business.

As long as tax information is public, as it is in Finland, I see nothing wrong in the question. If it is not and the parties involved want it to remain that way, then their privacy should be respected. In addition, the question here was "who gets paid for driving" and not "how much".

What is paid and what is paying? Henning gets paid to drive but also pays for his drive. I'm sure it's the same with a few other drivers.

Henning is paid by his sponsor, isn't he?

You're a 100% right. FIA should rattle the manufacturer's cage. Take the compromise or go. Rally 1s are dead in the water. If manufacturers don't agree, make Rally 2s as they are now the top category...
