It's his car, it's got a ton of miles on it, and it's his business how he drives it. These cars are engineered to be driven,

Get over it polishers.

I'd do it. If I had an example with over 200k on the clock, why not? Its not a collectable at that point, isn't worth much even in pristine condition with that much mileage on it, and as the "track rats" will point out its hard to beat the C5 in the durability department. Is it the best rally car? Hardly, but that's not the point. The point is to do something you enjoy in what you enjoy driving.
