Fe, let's say you need 100.000 for a program with an R5 car and 75.000 for the same program with an R4. It will be easier to find that 100.000 as you challenge for the overall win. You get much more return than for a class win.
In Finland this is different, we don't have overall points or championships, but four equal championships for different types of cars. Even when the rallies were televisioned on a national channel, all the classes were shown equally from home-built FWD Civics to the Fabia R5's.
