Well Ford Performance/Ken Block/Hoonigan Racing have pulled the pin on WRX and will no longer be in the series next year.
Not sure if that has any effect on WRC or not.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

American "Continental Tire Racing Series" will have GT4 and TCR cars next season. Maybe thats the car?
I know FRD (hong kong/malaysia) is building Ford's TCR cars

Ford pulling out of World RX is a financial blow to M-Sport who build and run their cars.
If Ford dont come back to WRC now then they deal a double blow to M-Sport.
Reading about how much savings Ford are aiming to make in general ($1billion+ towards the coming electric cars) it's looking pretty bleak.

I've taken this news completely the other way. To me it now seems more likely that the Ford money will stay with M-Sport, but the WRC effort will get the budget.

If it's enough reduction to enable some extra Rally1 cars with WRC Promotor help it's only a good thing if only for the next 18 months. WRC Promoter’s Senior Director of Sport, Peter Thul added:...
