$ponor$ $hould not be forgotten...To many it $eem$ like it may be the central i$$ue. Skill without the money to afford a car is useless.

This is spot on. Money isn´t really flowing into the sport of rallying in Sweden. And never was. Back in the years drivers like Waldegård and Blomqvist for example just worked out their skills to factory seats. And they were outstanding in comparison at the time. Talented Swedes are maybe as many as in Finland and whatever, but never get their chances bcs of lack of money or promoters.

Have had serious talks with different people in rallyingbusiness why this situation has come and was last 20-30 years, and seriously found out big sponsors in Sweden rather put money in golf, horses and sailing, unfortenately.
