courageous should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridcourageous should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
British Touring Cars - 0/24 pro drivers (even Plato brings money, albeit not his own)
Formula 1 - 8/24 drivers bringing money
WRC/IRC Rally - maybe 1 or 2 fully paid pro drivers between the 2 series

Having pay drivers is not a factor in a championship being considered 'top draw'


In endurance racing, pay drivers actually provide extra seats for pro drivers, everywhere else they take them.
