1. I would remove one spot from calendar and make sure that all continents are included.
-4x gravel
-4x tarmac
-2x mixed (gravel/tarmac)
-1x snow
-1x full mixed (snow/tarmac/gravel)
2. Maybe introduce qualifying stage on a shakedown basis.
3. Shorten distance between stages (that means stages are run closer to each other, so people could spectate more action).
4. Each event to held super special stage in the base of rally (more people could saw direct action, show, sponsors, key people)
5. Classes:
-WRC (Rally1)
-WRC2 (Rally2)
-WRC Junior (Rally3)
-WRC Masters (open class for all previous rally cars), here I would maybe limit entries if there would be too much crews applied... it would be quite a spectacle if Akio could show up in old Celica or Loeb in his winning Xsara.
6. Events could simultneously run for continental or even national championship. That way you could cover enough entries in the likes of Kenya and finales like Australia (I mean that would be only case if there were not enough entries for each event).
7. Coverage
-If they want to engage new fans they could at least give something to them. Every year there is less and less coverage in all aspects. Some stages could be brought to the tv back for free or some channels. Magazines and highlights. For hardcore fans paying service in likes of behind the scenes, all live coverage, cameras in a service park, maps... (like it is now). Official WRC news could be DirtFish crew. They know how to make really good and engaging content.
8. About cars, well I don't know. I would personaly love more brands and more seats available.. But first try to keep all three in the game and then search for more.

According DH - Moteurs (de Wilde)
M-Sport with Fourmaux + nordic driver (Lindholm or...) + Munster
Hyundai with Mikkelsen and Sordo sharing 3rd car
Loubet in GR Yaris Rally2
Skoda back to official own program. Toksport "lost" the program.

I heard Gryazin in C3 Rally2 with DG too.

I doubt a little about all this, but this sparked to me that,
I think Loubet if he wants to be competitive and show his speed should go back to rally2, like solberg and Greensmith did and show his speed, if he has any, and Yaris would be best for it i think, even tho we havent had a chance to see it competing yet, but i think it will be fast
