Millener says they have the first Rally1 chassis ready in a couple of weeks but testing won't start before May or June. Hybrid unit is still missing.

DirtFish still believes that 2022 Rally1 car will be based on Ford’s Puma.

Wilson wouldn’t be drawn on it, beyond saying: “You’ll know more when we start testing – I’d be surprised if the car looked too different to the one we’re using now…”

Dirt news says could run February

Millener (post #3440) says May-June

We will see...

Running in Feb, testing (with a full test day on a stage) in May?

If Hyundai pull out that could be good news for M sport both in terms of drivers availability and desire to drive for a team rather than spend a year on the sidelines, its also one less competitor so potentially better results.
Julian Porter said on a podcast recently he could see Tanak returning to M sport as it was his spiritual home.

Wilson sounds determined and confident of having a strong driver line-up for 2022.

M-Sport's good history with new cars could be a key factor in attracting any of the top driver's, even if Hyundai stays.
