It seems like that's an idea by someone who has absolutely no idea what rally is. Someone who doesn't know there's a codriver constantly talking and a driver constantly listening.

The only time any radio messages will be send is when they are not on stage, but often they will then not be in the car and will use their phone and not some radio. Perhaps some funny remarks could be made now and then, but it will never be comparable with circuit racing.

They all have base to car comms, it's called a smartphone. They can even stream video in both directions.
They also have a system so that the director of the rally can send them messages, and they can send them back.
