Too Many Drivers Leaving WRC

[AndyRAC]

Just noticed all these threads regarding drivers leaving the WRC, what a sad state of affairs. Okay, so they're not all world beaters bit surely there's a place in the WRC for them all. Once again, because of the expensive cost of the cars, drivers can't afford them. How long can this carry on for?

Or rather, they expect to be paid instead of paying for it themselves.

Good question, I left some three years ago when I realized where it is going...

I dont see it as a problem that some drivers cant make it to the top, it has always been the same, now theese who quits make no difference anyway, the best will still be there like they always have been.
The new trend is that organiser of events start paying expenses so that they get the event, that is a more dangerous way, we end soon up with crap events, just because they are cheap for the WRC organisation.

If you don't see the problem Tomi, there is only one answer. You must be blind...

If I drove done a forest at 130 mph, I would expect to get paid. Why does everyone think everyone BUT the drivers should be paid?
