If spectators on the ground aren't the main target market, there is no need to limit the championship to highly populated regions - you can use a wider variety of more interesting less populated places chosen for the best roads, variety of conditions, different challenges for crews, scenery for marketing etc.

Your argument taken to its conclusion says why bother with rallying at all - because rallycross and circuit racing meet all your assumed 'benefits' better.
