I think this doesn't just apply to rally...

I am also a fan of ballet dancing (yes, really), and the filming of ballet is just as bad. They cut to headshots during intricate footwork, they do close-ups when they need to show the flow of dancers across the stage, they edit at 8 second intervals rather than when one move finishes and another starts. The closest thing I've seen to good filming of dance is amateur parkour videos on Youtube, because that's filmed by people who appreciate the subject.

I think that professional photographers/videographers are people with no particular interst in the subject. They'll be on a rally today, a tennis match tomorrow, a wedding next weekend, tins of soup in dramatic lighting for an ad agency after that... And their editors are the same, so nobody tells them they're doing anything wrong.

The only think I can think of that might improve things is for groups of enthusiasts to get together and deposit stills/video into an editing pool. [Which does happen sometimes, I think.]
