3 years ago RX was a bit of a 'cult' sport, suddenly it's almost reaching the mainstream - much more than WRC does. All of that with some good strategy from the people up top and an exciting TV/online livestream availability. Perhaps nothing directly transferable, but proof that good changes can have impressive impacts in short timescales. The re-branding, the livestreaming, and the exciting entry lists (getting big names in like your favourite Mr Block, Villeneuve, Solberg etc to compliment young talents) are all things which are worth having a look at to see how ideas like this might help promote WRC. Not exactly the same necessarily, but certainly worthy of discussing.
