Fans can express opinions to organizers and FIA, but they are not obliged to use them.
And yes, as world has changed a lot, new focus for wrc needs to be found. All around is much more civilised and comfortable, than it was 30 or even 20 years ago. New generations don't really care about rallying as challenge of worlds best drivers, because they have never driven off pavement, not to mention sideways. So, you need to find solution to make rally appeal as an adventure to them or make it closer and more understandable (and possibly, boring). Something like that...
We already have RX for those kind of spectators.
