The cars and their travel through the stages are the priority, but they also have to show ambiance and context.
of course you need variety but if you go to a rally and 7 out of 10 places you visit are based on the scenery rather than the action offered then you simply should just go to grand canyon/lake tahoe and taj mahal and some weddings instead of a rally....

pictures from pros nowadays are more appropriate to be used by the countrys tourism ministry to promote the country rather than the rally...

for example take a look at the spots Martinjns,kksf,bunnings capture the footage and pictures, they are 1000 gazzilion times better than those of some pros (some are still really really good)... the aforementioned guys are true hardcore rally spectators who know what rallying is about thats why their footage are amazing, they do research of each stage they visit and it shows rather than following the organisers instructions, they know how a car is going to behave on each spot, if you let a pro photographer choose a spot he will probably choose a handbrake hairpin because their perception of the sport is really really poor and it is very sad if you take into account the amount of events they have been into, and then you have them complain about the photographers that offer their photos for free...
