You can compare YouTube views I suppose. Even though WRX is made for this kind of thing, and the promotors invest heavily in social media, their videos only attract a few thousand viewers. There are users on this forum who have more YouTube subscribers...

Rallycross already has the star power with Loeb, Solberg, Ekström and Block. I think this moment right now will be seen as the height of driver quality in Rallycross. I don't see how they can grow much above this. They can bring the sport to more countries thus widening the fanbase, but I don't see them deepening the fanbase in the traditional countries.
