I think nearly all the Estonian companies would need to join forces to even give someone a chance of a full season in a WRCar. This should answer your questionQuote:

Drivers like Kubica and Tanak would also be nowhere near a WRC but the difference is they offer something to the sport that makes other people pay for them.
Is being that simple makes life harder or easier ?
on the other hand, paying the drivers is a miniscule cost compared to the rest of the budget.Quote:

the cost of a 1 chassis alone is more then an average year salary in the regular world.
That's also a very important factor... I am sure they are insured to some level but I imagine the cost is still huge if a car were to burn out for example.
have you ever heard of the term Insurance ?Quote:

You are becoming more and more ridiculous by the day... -_-Quote:

I'll try to dig into it... Although it wasn't yesterday so I can't make any promises.
Also you are being utterly retarded and reading into other people's posts as usual... I said that compared to actually having a sorted chassis and suspension, aero isn't that important, not that it was totally unimportant.
... But then again you the special needs person in this forum so I don't suppose I should expect more from you.
