WRC - What is to be done?

Another predictable event. Got to say I am increasingly worried for the future of the sport. There are only four competitive drivers, maybe only half a dozen professionals. Size of wallet determines the ability to participate. The best British drivers are completely absent. There is almost no media profile for the sport. There is no worthwhile TV coverage.

What can be done? There are so many diverse suggestions...
- Limit it to Group N or Super 2000 or Group 2/2wd
- Bring back the classic events - safari, san remo
- Run fewer events - but bring back classics like the marathons
- Run longer events
- Run night stages
- Abolish servicing beyond basic consumerables / running repairs
- Run a historic class at every round

Just wonder what people think? The funny thing is that rallying as an amateur and historic sport seems still to be thriving. The historic Monte had over 330 cars. So what's going wrong with the WRC?
