Matton believes hybrids will add interest for new manufacturers. He also says that the "R5+" wouldn't be a good choice as a top class, there needs to be some new energy sources involved to ensure the future of the sport.

Great post NickRally; honestly I’m a bit more optimistic on motorsport future.
Btw, more than preparing for a future spec chassis, spaceframe option seems to be a way to guarantee that some manus can run the WRC without a suitable standard chassis; that could be MSport case in a couple of years as Ford already mentioned a full switch to SUVs; apparently Toyota and Hyundai aren’t making such radical plans.
On Rally Hybrids we can’t also predict if they’ll last a few years or a couple of decades; full EVs range and safety issues in Rally won’t be easy to solve. Besides, it’s too early to say that EVs global use is granteed; at some point taxpayers may start resisting political attempts to impose EVs at their (ours) expense.
Meanwhile, let’s hope 2022 Hybrid rules will be sensible enough to avoid WRC cost escalation, attracting more manus to the series. Fingers crossed!

Yves Matton told that FIA wants North America (most likely Canada) and China on WRC calendar and that they established work group to help them organize events in the future. These two markets are very important for all manufacturers involved in WRC.
