They host huge parties at every stop, and accomodation etc., but yea AFAIK the entry fee used to be ~10k..
EDIT:
The entrance fee for the 2007 rally was GB£28,000 (US$55,060) for first-time drivers.[10]
This year they are shipping all the cars to CHina which may be the reason for the insane entry fee...
