The issue is not with fans who tend to flock to most events, it is with the competitors. Entries are minimal and have been for many years. And the top class attracts say 6 to 8 decent cars and the rest a re pay drivers or nominal.
WRC has proven itself to be particularly awful at tv, unless there is local interest, otherwise people give it a look and come back next, year, so just drop it, they only do it because they manage somehow to sell rights to people, God knows how.
In the past you could run an IMpreza, Celica, Mk2, Chevette and set blinding times on stages and get picked up.
Now, all you can do is have a Finnish manager pushing you from the age of 10 to get there or be a famous son or daughter, that is not progress.
R5 is popular all over the world, meaning you could potentially rally in multiple areas at a world and regional level for world titles in theory.
You have R5+ for the manufacturers, who want to push and spend more money and maybe open that to hybrid aswell.
But manufacturers do NOT make a series, drivers, events, car number and variety do that in my eyes.
