Tanak's clearly made some good money at Toyota and Hyundai over the years since he last drove for M-Sport. He has probably compromised a fair bit on his wages to allow a deal to be made. Plus there could be plenty of clauses in the contract on both his and the cars performance.

You are talking about an energy drink partner here, right? 😂
You know that friend who disappears from the bar when it's their round having already stuffed themselves at the buffet.......

It's all a big tax write-off. The money the manufacturers use to fund their rally teams comes from their PR/marketing/advertising/R&D budgets. If they didn't spend it in the WRC, they'd do so elsewhere.
That's what makes VW's withdrawal in 2016 hard to take - every cent they would have used in the WRC in 2017 and beyond will still have been spent on other marketing activities, they just couldn't be seen to be playing with IC-engined rally cars.

yeah. but the meaning is the same. if they cut employees for marketing, it sucks, even if "the marketing" is rally racing. i'm just saying to be aware of it, and not pretend rallying to be a purely romantic sport.
anyway, we can do nothing about it, so at least, we enjoy the race.
