So how is the new R5 category coming along ? M Sport have had some outings in their Fiesta R5.
What is the outlook by the FIA for the next few years? Will it still be WRC RRC R5 or will WRC/RRC be phased out when R5 is established?Nav

Exactly. The engine of R5 is very similar to R3T (I don't know exact difference in rules besides much bigger restrictor but the basis is absolutely same).

I really hope it will not happen. Full WRC teams commitment into R5 will only grow prices sky high.

And the spec upgrade from R5 to WRC should be available to all, with a price cap. The move to production based engines is vital I believe. The next evolution of the Fiesta WRC could quite easily be an R5 with 300 horses, some aero and 6 speed 'box.
If this was to happen there would be huge number of potential manufacturers and cars available already with such interest in the R5 category, probably much to the dismay of VW.
