    Has MSport figured out upgrades for gravel on the Mk2?
    Will Skoda hit bullseye with the new Fabia?
    Is the i20 there yet, or will it be polished somewhat?
    Can Citroen C3 have jokers coming for 2022?
    Will we see other manufacturers coming in during 22?
    I think Citroën will have updates, but it will be the last "full" year for the C3, as if I remember well, for 2023 there should be a new car.

    I think sure, Stellantis have more marques to choose from, if I remember well, some time back there were rumours of them switching the Rally2 programme to Opel. And aside from the above mentioned 2, they have the option to go with ie. Fiat/Abarth as well. I also hope that they will return with something to WRC/Rally1 - either with Citroën or with something else.

    M-Sport may have more time and resouces for the Fiesta Rally2 after concentrating everything on the Puma Rally1 this year.

    Opel are waiting for the Rally2 hybrid era and Peugeot seem happy with the 208 Rally4.

    The i20 should be spot-on with all of the development and drivers its had thrown at it.

    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? If you pay the bills of course
    They are not a manufacturer, so the brand have to be involved still?

    Yes, the manufacturer has to be involved in the homologation process, at least, as the category's base production cars must be FIA homologated. Contrast this with non-FIA championship TCR where the cars are not homologated by the factory, but must comply with a Certificate of Description, which is supplied by the TCR car builder who may be completely independent of the base car's manufacturer.

    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 manufacturer-involvment there.
