    It depends where you go, of course. Eastern Europe or Spain are always going to be cheaper than Finland or Estonia. Italy kind of falls in the middle. Knowing the right people can give you access to some pretty cheap forests in the UK. Unfortunately some organisers see WRC teams coming and the €€€€€ start flashing...

    And tarmac testing is cheaper cause you don't have to repair the road

    Depends on the road and surface. Sometimes repairing the tarmac road is more expensive than gravel... I remember when I have seen "last WRC" cars on Corse, they were literally shreading pieces of road.

    And if I remember correct, in one country, in the cost of the tarmac test, rent for the road was required to the local authority…

    I have had that thought for about some time..
    If a ,,works' " driver legally buys a car from the manu team and just wants to drive it from time to time.. I'm pretty sure that there is no rule/law that forbids to do that..

    No roads similar to Rally Sweden stages though.
