mhh, can't edit my post.. sorry for doubleposting.
If anyone has information what Chevy, Seat or BMW is nearly paying for one season to run WTCC would be nice to know, too. |

At the end of last year Eric Neve (Chevrolet) said that for every Euro they invested they got a return of almost 2 Euro. In total they had a return of investment of 26 million Euro.
Source: http://www.pitstoptv.info/pitstop/?p=3646 So for 2007 they had a budget of around 12 million Euro. |

What their budget was and what they spent developing/running the team are two very different things. The total budget will include all the hospitality, PR and publicity costs - for every pound you spend on racing you needs to spend at least as much again telling the world you are racing.

12 mio. for 3 cars is a lot. I ask because i had a discussion about costs @ DTM and WTCC/BTCC. Dr. Ulrich (Head of Audi Motorsport) pretended to say that the budget of Audi in the DTM is like the same Seat is paying for WTCC. Audi dump 30-35 Mio. Euros a season to run 9 cars and i can't believe that a season with 6 TDI Leon's will cost nearly the same. Okay they have more races and more distance to cover, but anyway. Wiechers run 2005 there car for Marc Henerici (Independent Champion) under 1 Mio. Euro for the whole Season, and N.Technology built and run a compete race car for roundabout 2-3 Mio. Euros... |

no, he means the complete manufacture budget for one season.
30 - 35 Mio. Euro costs for a DTM season is a known fact, Mercedes puplished that month ago and the ITR announced plans to reduce the costs by 30% to 20 Mio. Euro a season for the season 2010. Quote:

The drivers probably account for just under a third of the budget. |

TV ads, newspaper ads, magazines, tyre dealers, posters etc etc etc... so, anyone spending at the rate of two to one can hardly be surprised if the public still don't know what WTCC is and who is involved... |

I have always thought that a domestic championship is much more marketable and well known than the WTCC, I have seen no billboards or adverts with a WTCC car in it, but I have seen some billboards with BTCC cars on it (e.g, SEAT, Vauxhall). Not sure about other countires.

I seem to remember Vauxhall claiming they had great reponse to those 'A to BTCC' ad's, and halfords always have posters of Team Dynamics cars.
You don't see any posters of WTCC cars at all though, and I think thats something that does need sorting. That and proper freeview coverage. It is easier to promote a local series though, if only because they only need to promote in one country. At least if VX had good response to the BTCC ads it means they're working, and we're gona have VXR in the series for a long time. |

Weren't BTCC budgets around £6m in the mid to late 90's?
