I understand BUT they have to be careful and see what happened to the european rallycross championship.
RX is fun? To me? yes!... Then FIA thought "Oh, lets make it huge". They brought manufacturers, F1 tracks, F1 promoters, big names (loeb, ekstrom, solberg, villeneuve etc...) and then the people who put the money saw no return of investment - like AT ALL - Not only that, RX lost tons of privateers and traditional places, like LyddenHill (birth place of the sport) and estering (on the schedule since the 80's I believe) cuz "ewww we cant put our 5 million euro cars on the grass. I want a decent paddock".
FIM need to understand this. Those sports have their niche and thats it. Its not the "greatest sport in the planet"! They are not gonna get like... an audience to the size of MotoGP or MXGP. Dont raise the cost for riders, venues and fans cuz you are going to lose that niche for casual fans that will NOT attend to more than 1 race and will only watch 2 min highlights on youtube of the races.
F1 is a place for rich people.... Small nordic or eastern european championships are NOT.
Stop trying making everything look "sterile" and "clean" like F1, please!

On the start there are missing (from priority drivers) Lindholm, Verstappen and Sandrin.
