I think holding the ACO up as the example is ironic, given how they're still trying to play with their new regs after what should have been the start of the season. Also, one of the reasons that the series is attractive to Porsche etc. is that they can use a car which will be eligible in other series (namely IMSA) and it opens up a bit more of a route for customer cars.
That luxury doesn't existing in the same way with rallying, because the top tier is so expensive to compete in. Sure they could make it cheaper, but then you lose some of the spectacle and if it doesn't bring in the fans then there's no point.
Fact is, the current gen WRC cars are some of the most exciting we've ever seen, if that doesn't get a fanbase then what's the point?
