Rally's road-relevance is already out the door so tube-frames with plastic pickup truck stamps over them would look fancy and be exciting to watch on a stage but they're a lot larger than most rally cars. They're also not particularly suited to corners unless it's for a three-wheeled sliding spectacle.

Like old Group N parts a lot of those bits can be slapped on to a truck or Jeep so you can pretend you're a racer. Normally it makes the vehicle downright dangerous but safety/standard/inspection rules are pretty woeful, here, and that assumes anyone would enforce what rules we have.

In US rallies dirt bikes and UTVs are creeping in to the less stringent events. They're cheaper, simpler and have more resale value than a prepared car.
