RedBull already support VAG in rallying through Škoda in SWRC.

Planetemarcus (great site by the way) : Loeb will earn 10m euro / year and Hirvonen 3m euro / year.
I am really curious to know how much Elena gets???
Because he is neighbour with loeb in switzerland and trust me, this place is not cheap! (shumacher is a neighbour as well...)

Dont know what kind of agreement Loeb/Elena has, but in some cases its the driver who pays the codriver.

By the way, where does Loeb and elena live?

VW Fabias have also been carrying "wings for life" logos which is a Red Bull charity.

It's usually so that a driver has contract with team and co-driver is working for the driver. When a driver pays his co-driver's salary a common deal is about 10-30 percent of driver's salary. Higher salary in general meaning lower percentage.

Don't forget that Elena also has his own company All Sports Management.

They live in switzerland next to Morges in a small village. If you read his autobiography i think it's written... Can't remember now.

So if elena gets 30% of loeb's wages, that means he earns as much as Hirvonen? lol.

I think Elena is underpaid if its between 10% and 30%!
