For sure, there is nostalgia involved for that idea, but it comes with some side effects.

There have been historic cars competing with the same event as WRC cars, and the result is - they are using so different lines and mess up the road that much, that the first on the road for 2nd loop need to do the massive cleaning again. For example, in Estonia, there was a similar problem with trucks. So old cars could only compete on the road after 2nd loop.

Also, depending on the rally, the number of cars passing the road may get too high and cause some logistical challenges - every stage is live too long time.
