My guess is that there is zero chance of SKODA entering the ERC ever again.

if i´m not mistaken, i´ve read somewhere that there are tendencies to prolong current tech regs until end of 2020 (si it would last for four years) and then start with new regs in 2021
That would be nuts; no manu can cope with new regs every 4 years.
AFAIK, VW was the only manu asking to short the 3+3 cycles (to a 3+2, not a 3+1), in order to rush new energies introduction, but hopeffuly the FIA will stick to the original schedule.
The WRX is delaying EV’s use because only VW and Peugeot signed for them; the WEC slowed down Hybrid expansion after having lost 4 (out of 5) manus; why should the WRC rush for major tech changes and put the series future at risk?
Something major is supposed to happen that year, because apart from these Škoda talks, Toyota was also making a a limited quantitiy of Yaris' homologation specials to introdue a new chassis 2020-2021.
I may be wrong but I understood that in 2021 we'd get some sort of hybrid WRC and that all manufacturers have known about that already for quite some time.
