! FIA should not only look after the big manufacturer teams, but should work on making the sport more attractive and affordable on a lower level too, by lowering entry fees in WRC events for example. If they want to, they can do this for sure.
I'm sure if a privateer offered to pay the 32,000 per event that a manufacturer pays, they could get the same amount of space in a service park!

Entry fees are set in a maximum by the FIA - it's up to each individual Event Organiser to set what to charge. So really, it's up to the Organisers to decide the entry fee. Perhaps there needs to be a bit of competition amongst the organisers to compete for the number of 'customers' they can get. Because that's how they should be considered by Organisers - customers.
