    Excuse my naivety. It just doesn't seem like many for a World Championship event of any kind. Even though it's a fantastic event, i fear that the WRC wants to seek bigger markets and exposure.

    Well, the current WDC comes from a county with a population of 10 times more, and they don’t have an event.

    Estonia is one of my favourite events, I’m just being a realist, once another event comes along with more money and a bigger population, events like Estonia may well be lost. Take Saudi Arabia for example, they just had to hand over bags of cash, and have no current native drivers in rally 1 or 2 cars, but the manufacturers probably love it because there are lots of wealth people in SA.

    The numbers for Rally Estonia are not bad. This year it had 53511 visitors and Rally Finland had 81000 visitors.

    WRC.com quoted as follows re Rally Finland...

    "250,000 fans made their way to the stages and Jyväskylä-based service park."

    How do they count it? It's only people who bought the ticket in Estonia, or?

    That was a misunderstanding. 81000 tickets were sold:

    The number of visits was a bit below 200k for Rally Estonia.
