Yeah, most likely the team has had input on the GR4 model which will then be used as the basis for the WRC car, with some issues already solved or things improved in the base model. Kind of like in the Group A days with homologation specials...
Well, some people think they are not a factory team...
So Toyota will introduce a new car just for 1 year... and Hyundai will likely do the same with new I20 road car beeing introduced soon. (Hyundai also did this once before in 2016).
MSport likely lacking a lot of pace next year (same as 2016 again).
I think if all of remaining three will sign at the deadline of april 2020 that the regs will get green light. If one (I believe M-Sport will not be part of it because of huge costs involved) that just for two teams it's not worth it.
Still there is hope that either Skoda or Subaru will come up with a solution. Or both. That would be amazing.
It would indeed, Prodrive are putting their expertise into the Dakar rally for next year.
