I think an alternative to compliment Rallycross is more feasable. If the FIA took it world wide they'd doubtless want to run under the banner of their new world engine scenario. You'd end up with competitors running rally cars which kind of takes the edge of it. Rallycross may have started as an off shoot of rally but it's now a well established sport in it's own right.
It's fine running it to rally regs if you are trying to establish the sport as in what they appear to be doing in the US this year but not for a World Championship in it's own right. I personally find rally cars dull as dish water these days and wouldn't really be interested in watching Group N's and S2000's race. You need to have bespoke regs and the sport standing on it's own two feet with it's own stars. Failing that run it as one off events under a different banner for rally cars and do things like an event on ice etc. If you attracted the local rally stars it'd probably be a commercial success, bring in the punters and be worth doing.
