Well they have become consumers..They eat the diet fed to them--likely the journos who blog and blab are also consumers who eat the PR Dept Press releases..
Marketing rules at every step and the "Target demographic" which is little 14 to 25 year old boys who in a social sense are basically powerless and suppressed supposedly want to see "heoes" who look like them---because its all a fantasy for them..They'll never SIT in a rally car like the current WRC cars, so you can't reach them that way, you have to present them with young boys who don't even shave yet for the Target Demographic to be able to "identify with" the "persona" the ad agency has created..

This all happened in my old sport when the Japanese really started pouring money into the sport...suddenly the hero guys (in America first, then everywhere) were shaving..Yeah! and they all got the same haircut..
Haircuts!!!???

The riders became products..packaged products...

Same since the early 2000s in rally.

Pirelli exclusive supplier ERC Junior
By Vincent • December 17th, 2015 • Category: Miscellaneous

The 2016 Champion will compete in the Cyprus Rally R5

While there will certainly be no Belgian competitor to the ERC Junior year, this competition remains a real springboard. The ERC Junior 2016 Championship calendar will be unchanged, competition calling at Liepaja, Ireland, the Azores, Ypres, Estonia and the Czech Republic.

Eurosport Events has announced the conclusion of a two-year agreement with Pirelli, which thus becomes the exclusive supplier of tires for the competitors of the ERC Junior. A course always reserved for R2 championship.

As had been able to Emil Bergkvist the Rallye du Valais on a Peugeot 208 T16, the 2016 Junior Champion ERC will have the privilege of playing in late season the Cyprus Rally on R5.

Reason was/is: in WRC2 they can only drive 1 test day, if you are privateer you can test as much you want. Only bad thing is starting position behind all WRC2 and WRC3 (bad roads)
