"cuz the event ends in Iran therefore gets minimal publicity."

Come on! Its like saying the World cup closing Ceremonies are not as exciting as the opening!!!??
Its a high profile International event and it I am sure an cultural city like Isfahan can take advantage of the thousands of rally enthusiasts wanting to see the race, the cars , the drivers. Fact is : Isfahan is a beautiful city with thousands of tourisitic sites and thats a bonus in anyones book!
