I can only speculate - he needs to be seen in swedish media, just to raise money for rallying. RX is his opportunity to get to be known outside the small world of rallying I guess. Beside he gets driving experience in a way and maybe get to know important people, future business partners... But agree, he should be in rallying as much as he can, but money is the main factor doing that.
