100% no less than 100k.. renting a Fabia R5 is around 60k per rally, so WRC is at least double the costQuote:

Paddon saying he's going all out in Finland

And I know the price is a lot, lot more than that for a gravel event....
Particularly if you add testing in there.
How much does M-Sport reduce the price for expected manufacturer points? I mean, it must be different from Serderidis or Virtanen renting a Fiesta WRCQuote:

Thinking Evans not being there is a disadvantage as well. If he was there was a known fast guy (in Finland) to compare with, even if Paddon would be slower it would still be some benchmark. Now with basically only Suninen who can either have his best rally ever, or for example massive technical issues or crash there might suddenly not be anyone to compare with on similar terms.

Feeling good in the new office. Spent some time today at @MSportLtd for seat fitting and meet some of the team. Can’t wait to unleash the car at our test on Monday #paddonspack @OfficialWRC
