Private funding from own fortune is one thing - sponsorships are a different matter and they are very much hampered by the current financial crisis.

Even the Russian Oligarchs are feeling the squeeze.

Unfortunatly WRC is sport for rich guys most of the time.. Now I am more happy for Loeb cos he didn't have that money to buy himself good car or a seat and to drive.. Only talent and experience step by step..

Is it JWRC team or M2 ?
As far as I'm concerned it's M2...
