Now, if we'd use circuit racing logic then rally fans should be idiots. We travel and cover a vast distance during three-four days. We are willing to walk km to see cars driving by. And we don't see the cars for long time.

For me spectating rallies has never been just the stage action. It's the whole thing - travelling to the area, seeing the stages, the people, going to the spots, etc. Quite often the getting to the stage/spot is the most memorable one because that's personal experience.
