F1 & MotoGP have UK rounds, but they don't receive any government funding, and neither should any RallyGB. If the sport can't stand on its own two feet, then tough.
Fair point on moaners, and I don't want to get political for obvious reasons but where do you draw the line on your other point? Half the calendar or more is state supported, some states supporting entries too - the French even supporting an M-Sport Rally1 entry. This series could look very different without any "public" funds. That could be better, or could be worse.
