Toyota owns 20% of Subaru, maybe they plan to rebadge the Yaris Rally2 to a Subaru rally2?

Yes, wery quiet from Stellantis.
Opel has Rally 4 and 5, and this electric one.
Renault is not Stellantis?
Citröen has Rally2, but put it down?
So, what brand can step in eventually?
Fiat,...

I understanded in an intervju with Østberg that Citröen would quit Rally2, but one of the other Stellantis brands will build a car instead.
I understanded that Stellantis wanted a brand in each...

Yes, and there we see the reason the manufacturer-rule has to be removed.
Why have they that rule? The car in the Rally2 down to Rally5 is anyway productionbased cars, it should be no need for...

Seems like M-sport have a new customer-part of theire business, building cars on other bases than Ford.
Is it then possible to let them build an homologated Rally2 on, lets say a Mazda or a Fiat?...

Apparently, Opel planning for a Rally2, but maybe wait for new hybrid Rally2 rules.

If its money available, they should hire some of the free drivers, like Tidemand, Meeke, Lappi(?), Paddon, etc, for single outings or whole season in ERC and WRC3.

Mads got his changes at the C3 R5 done and homologated, New geometry in the back is biggest change, a totaly redesigned rear axel he says.

In Norwegian:...

Mads Østberg said in a (rally)podcast (lyktepodden at Spotify and other) that they have tested and going to homologate a totaly new rear suspention, and some other parts to the C3 R5, but its not...

Mads has the softest setup possible, but it's way to hard. Lots of work before sweden.

Johan will do romjulsrally around Elverum 29. December.
Or "a double world champion in rallycross" as it says.
More likely he will test his polo R5 than Ekstrøm or petter do this rally.
Petter...

Finally, the mirage R5 is allowed in Norwegian rallies in 2019.
It took 4 or 5 years.

I'm quite sure of that 2 C3 R5 are heading to Norway, one for Mads Østberg for training and some rallies, one for Eyvind Brynhildsen for ERC. Eyvinds Fiesta R5 was for sale for a couple of weeks...

Maybe a 1,8 or 2,0 with shorter stroke?
