The only thing I like about this kind of stages is that they keep rally alive by bringing casual people to see sponsors.
It is a necessary thing luckily a few minutes' stage so why bother. If this is the price the organization has to pay to get the buget sorted for the whole rally weekend, I would say; okay then. Normally when we are at rally and there is such a stage we go to starting order you can see the drivers close and have a talk with them, or making pictures. I see such a stage as ideal for dads and their little kids to spread the rally virus
