Well technically Petter Solberg is a privateer now in WRX. So obviously coverage increases with good results - in any sport. But in the last WRX round they were showing real local privateers and full races featuring their cars. More TV time in one two-hour broadcast than maybe Al Rajhi gets in an entire season. And let's be honest the only reason he gets airtime is when he crashes - which isn't really something you can pitch to sponsors.

They also show dedicated broadcasts for support championships on social media. Really next-level stuff. But this is a separate debate I think.
