There were events before governments started getting involved.
By now it's just an auction and the highest bidders get an event. The FIA gets to charge such ridiculous amounts of money because some governments are desperate to get a rally. If all governments stopped pumping money into it, we would still have a comparable championship but the people in charge of the FIA wouldn't get as rich.

We don't need government money to have a rally, only to fill the pockets of greedy FIA people.
