    Renting price for driver like Paddon is maximum 100k€, probably much less...
    "quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"

    100% no less than 100k.. renting a Fabia R5 is around 60k per rally, so WRC is at least double the cost

    In that price profit is also included. I also think that he is paying the real cost+ some extra for profit, but shouldn`t forget that Paddon as a driver and name is also something that M-Sport can capitalize on.

    Not a chance.

    He'd be paying full-freight.

    And I know the price is a lot, lot more than that for a gravel event....

    Particularly if you add testing in there.

    How much does M-Sport reduce the price for expected manufacturer points? I mean, it must be different from Serderidis or Virtanen renting a Fiesta WRC

    He kind of has to go all out.

    Anything worse than 5th (or speed for worse than 5th) and it might get extremely hard to get to WRC again.

    Thinking Evans not being there is a disadvantage as well. If he was there was a known fast guy (in Finland) to compare with, even if Paddon would be slower it would still be some benchmark. Now with basically only Suninen who can either have his best rally ever, or for example massive technical issues or crash there might suddenly not be anyone to compare with on similar terms.
