    The redundancies may have been in their other programme's but the rally side has also lost a huge amount of income - for months no-one was having them run their cars, or was buying cars and parts.

    yes, sales of new cars almost died completely, rebuilds of used ones also, this I know from my experience.
    orders for Rally4 cars were also mainly the ones placed before those crazy times

    I would assume that like most industries, the supply chain of parts etc required to build cars shutdown during the heaviest of lockdown periods.

    A company like M-Sport wouldn't keep a lot of items in stock as it ties up too much money.

    But M-Sport is the only private team in the WRC. Hyundai and Toyota WRT's havent been affected like they have been with their huge factory budgets.
