Showing spectators would help get "new internet/socials" fans to come to events..
Footage of fans helping cars back on the road, or creating atmosphere, whit flags, and fireworks,..that draws people to the events.
Once you visit a rally, and the virus gets to you than your hooked for life!
Nothing beats standing next to stages whit some friends!

Pretty good event in the end, so happy we didn't have the Friday snow all weekend, that would have been sad.
Shame about the cruising by Lappi on the last day, because that was some proper driving in the middle of the road, but I'm sure he wouldn't if he had a full season.
Good to see some of you again, now i need some sleep because driving to Umeå was pretty far!

Why you want to change a thing that doesnt need changing? Right now Power Stage is pretty much the only thing that is right with WRC.
Its like that one time when F1 decided to toy with qualifying format but it turned out horrible with drivers instead staying in the pits.

Power stage, the thing you call the only right thing, has caused the extreme Sunday cruising that the new botched up points system is trying to fix. So, is it the only right thing?
Power Stage was needed to sell a product. And Power Sunday in essence is just a six-pack version of Power Stage. Sundays are short, so the gaps wouldn't be gigantic anyway. Yes, production costs would increase but also you'd be selling the entire morning of content. But Power-whatever is the smallest of the problems for WRC right now.Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

as Franky says, the power stage is what makes people drive extremely slow to save their tyres on sunday.
either we should get rid of it, or we should treat it like it's a completely separate rally.
A power stage for television makes sense, but then make sure everybody has fresh tyres and a long service before it, so everyone has equal chances and noboby needs to worry about tyres or problems on the stages before.

[WRC] Rally Sweden 2024
But they aren’t driving slow anymore because of the Super Sunday.
Yeah some of them still are, like Lappi this time and Fourmaux but the title contenders aren’t like they used to be#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

Wet conditions. Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
