Sorry, HOW MUCH???
You obviously miss how rich the people are who take part in it?


They are billionaires who take huge risks at a young age and get loads of sex by flashing their wallets at hot super models and race across Europe in a fat party and race combined. The Renault entry doesn't plan on cashing in on the hotels. The speeds and distances these people travel in one day are insane and they risk falling asleep at the wheel to win.

It's a dream of mine. One day. One day I'll race a 800bhp uno across Europe.
I no longer think of myself as Atheist however I reject religion as a concept where you must do x because someone says so. May contain nuts.

6600 Aus$ for entry into the WSC. That excludes food, accomodation, fuel costs for the support vehicles and support team, travel costs or licencing costs on the car. 25000 Pounds inclusive isn't alot of money.
