RallyXS magazine did a survey and published a basic salary estimate for drivers. The following payouts include no win or placement bonuses but no ad revenue and other activities:
Colin McRae: By far the most expensive (helped by his new contract with Citroen) with an annual base 5.800.000 Euro.
Marcus Gronholm: The world champion has an annual base 5.150.000 Euro.
Richard Burns: His transfer to Peugeot under the title of champion 2001, secured him annual earnings of 5.000.000 Euro.
Tommi Makinen: The four-time world champion has an annual base 4.400.000 Euro.
Petter Solberg: The young Norwegian managed to secure an annual salary of 2.900.000 Euro with his impressive finale finale.
Carlos Sainz: King Carlos as they call him has eaten a significant salary cut this year to be able to secure a good team, so his annual earnings reach 1.800.000 Euro.
Freddy Loix: High enough in the relative ranking with 1.400.000 Euro per year.
Sebastien Loeb: Probably thrown in, mainly due to McRae's fat contract that eats a large part of Citroen's budget, has an annual base 1.300.000 Euro. If it continues as it goes, it will reach high.
Armin Schwarz: Annual Basic 1.100.000 Euro.
Markko Martin: Ford's noodle saves 1.100.000 Euro per year.
Didier Auriol: After a year of racing inactivity at 2002, this year it dropped its requirements to 900.000 Euro per year and drives the Skoda Fabia.
Gilles Panizzi, Harri Rovanpera, Toni Gardemeister: Each of them has an annual base 500.000 Euro.
Francois Duval: The key to Ford's heterosexual youth (just 21 years old) is 290.000 Euro.
Juuso Pykalisto: The youngster is a Peugeot test driver with an annual base 100.000 Euro.
Ο McRae It is estimated that he reaches 11.700.000 Euro annually with side earnings and bonuses and is the most well-paid in a sport that carries a significant risk to his life. Compared to other well-paid sports stars, it gets about 35% less than David Beckham (18.000.000 Euro) which runs the risk of tearing its string every Saturday and Tuesday / Wednesday, also 35% less than Serena Williams (18.500.000 Euro) that is often at risk of tearing its serena with its servers, about 50% less than Tiger Woods risking his life on the rough golf courses, 60% less than Lennox Lewis (27.000.000 Euro) but it bleeds after it lays and lays various on the ring, including Tyson, 75% less than Schumi of F1 (44.500.000 Euro) - I don't comment on that.
