Hoonigan Racing get the most money and support of any teams alongside Audi! Ford have invested a lot into Hoonigan and are getting rather fed up at the lack of results - Block has proven he can't compete at this level, and Bakkerud has already been named Crasherud by the Scandinavian press!

Peugeot get a little less factory support, but still a fair lump due to the Loeb factor. VW is by no means a factory team yet - they have a little bit of support technically, but they fund themselves and the old PSRX team are still in charge there. The whole team deserve a hell of a lot of credit to be leading the team's championship in a brand new car with far less support than their main rivals!
