DMCC West [Canadian Drifting]

I was reading up on the DMCC West again and started to look at the prize amounts.

For each event:
Winner - $1000
2nd - $750
3rd - $500

Kinda low? Yea. And get this:
Entry fee - $1000

The Entry / Win cash flow is pretty equal, but it's still low. Until I found out why:

The championship winner (Highest Average from all events), wins a Formula-D License. 2nd-4th get Formula Pro-Am licenses.

Basically meaning that yeah, they can go ahead and jump straight into the American Formula-D Championships and battle against drivers like Darren McNamara and Chris Forsberg. I guess this is the reason the prizes and entry fees are as low as they are. Paying $1000 and possibly getting the chance to go to the big leagues...not a bad deal. Until you have to pay the odd 30k entry for Formula-D...good luck with that!
