The Pirelli deal done with FIA to provide control tyres to WRC costs Pirelli 11 Milllion Euro over 3 years.

The first year FIA has gotten 3,5 million. Both Autosport and Pirelli has asked Morrie Chandler in the Rally Commision what the money has been used for - but he is struggling to come up with an answer, mumbling something about regional championships and so on....

This can not be very satisfactory for any of the parties; FIA that hopefully should have control over budget and what the money actually was used for, Pirelli that of course is interested in how they bring rally forward - and the public here represented by the mass media.

Hopefully Autosport will follow this issue and get answers from Morrie & Co !!

A reasonable question I would think.

I would hate to think that it has gone to maintain a gravy train with in the halls of power with in the FIA.

As far as I know this was paid by Pirelli directly, but not sure.

Maybe it is time we get an elected version of FIA, that are accountable for where the money has gone each year ??
