15-20 years ago Group A and then WRC. Lack of major manufacturer entries now. 20 years ago it was Lancia, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Ford, Peugeot, Nissan etc etc. Competition for the best 4WD cars to sell their products to the masses. When Mitsubishi and Subaru finally left the interest waned. They have tried to cut costs with the new formula but it doesn't have the profile it did so the coverage is poor now. Bit like Le Mans really. Used to be a big deal for the works teams but nobody cares. * +
