probably this sport not popular among the other sport in our country..that is the our government thinking...
Blackend,i have to correct u there, our gov dont care about what its ppl want, what they like, what sports shud they support,they only think about what they like things that will bring money they dont care if the rakyat like it or not, for example tell me who the hell plays the monsoon cup?is there any team from malaysia?i mean purely malaysian??if im not mistaken there's none!!!(correct me if im wrong) whatever it is,its not a sport that all malaysian can afford or are interested in...The only reason rallying are not popular is because our gov are not supporting it, our media are more interested in gossips and waste of time stuff,thats y its hard to get sponsors.
I know a lot of malaysian love rallying and racing,just look around u when ur on highways or street, all those wannabe street racers,modders ,car forums,car clubs are popping up like mushroom after rain(direct translation). malaysia have a lot of talent in driving,just look at our current race driver karam pwrc champion,saladin when he was in his subaru he dominate china,indonesia,thailand, yr 2005-2007(correct me if im wrong), look at fadzil alang the r3 driver(i know he won a lot of champonship), Tengku Djan (drifting and there's a lot more i bet),Fairuz Fauzy A1,Alex yoong,and many more unknown driver.
All make our country proud, alot of them use their own money to finance their race,to make sure they can bring malaysia to the world stage but what to they get??not even recognition from our country and media...they have produce promising result and some have prove they are the best but instead our gov keep on financing unpromising sports e.g football and alot more.
so i hope 1 day our gov realize the true assets of this country.Open ur eyes malaysia gov!!
owh and im pissed offf grrrrr
