i agree, i would just rather they were called R1, R2 etc as it sounds less silly.

From 2022 (if not before) we will call the new WRCar R1 the Rally2 cars R2 and so on. At least in here.
Kresta at that point (2005) had lot of experience with multiple WRC cars (Octavia, Fabia, 206, Accent and 03 Subaru) among these he certainly impressed with posting some of the fastest times ever done by the Accent WRC in his very first (and only) start with it. He has a reputation of being very good with setting up cars.
As mentioned none of these 3 at MSport now ever drove anything else than Fiesta as WRC or R5 .
Suninen confirmed that he will test Rally1 2022.
