General question about rally organisation in your respective countries be it a local level or up to WRC. Are rallies organised by volunteers giving up their free time to arrange road closures and insurance etc or do clubs or motorsport bodies employ people to do the job on a paid basis? Bit of an issue in the UK just now which is seeing events cancelled or stopping altogether as more and more time is being asked of less and less people who do the "job" on a voluntary basis. Not many younger people stepping up to help so rallies are biting the dust. This in turn is leading to even less interest in the media so less and less commercial interest as a result.

One of the organisers of a closed road event in the UK earlier this year told me that they had put in 800 hours of their own time to get the event running.
That is completely unsustainable.If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

In the UK at nearly all events, spectators 'pay to park' - and money quite often goes to local charities, etc Organising clubs get virtually nothing. From memory, only RallyGB (and IRC Rally Scotland) charges/charged to spectate; and then that means they have to provide facilities, etc for spectators....which is a costly business. Which is the reason most events charge you to park your car - there aren't the same requirements for spectators. As already said, most events are run by volunteers, and they simply don't have the time/resources to do this.
I agree with Sal, I would love to know how other countries operate....I dare say it's different.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

I never really understood why UK organising clubs don't keep the spectator parking money for themselves. Okay, it's not much but it's something.
