Hello. I would like to ask for some opinions. I m from Croatia and racing was never very popular here, because football and stuff like that were always no.1. There are people with a lot of money, so I guess that is not a problem, rallying simply is not interesting here. You can hardly ever find rally/racing news in the newspapers, TV, internet... So there are a very few sponsors that want to participate in that sport. Now, Croatia Delta Rally is a part of ERC (though the ERC is not what it used to be) but still, there is no interest. There is though a new championship in Croatia called ORC (Open Rally Challenge) but still there are a very few competitors and sponsors. Anyway, I wanted to know how the rallying/racing is promoted in your countries, and how do you people find sponsors, etc.
