different country, different manners
I dont want to compare it, I dont know how it goes in Australia...
(I want to visit rally in Australia once though). But it is more than around 12 000 of kilometers to spend per your for me if I want to visit the best rallies in the Czech Republic
(because the best stages are on the other side of where I am living) We are also for example visiting Rally Legend, which is more than 2 000 to add.. In one word, its expensive (with bad financial circumstances here) and I can afford it only thanks to my dad. But I am afraid of he is being quite old for it now, so he will refuse to be sponsoring me in some time. I still have contacts to get onto the rallies, but those are daddy's friends and even older than him, so I think it can get only worse. And I dont think I would find enough friends (interested in rally THAT MUCH) to fill the car for lowering the prize of the journey
I am not lucky in that..
maybe those numbers seem to you like good joke in compare to what it costs in Australia, I dont know, it can be pretty much true
or in other countries... we are still pretty small country
But the economical situation is very bad, a lot of Czechs moves to foreign because of higher value of living
