Yes an FIA WRC Hall of Fame will be inaugurated in Paris some time next week.
Yes an FIA F1 Hall of Fame already exists - it was opened in 2017 or 2018.
Molly Pettit wrote a blog about 2 weeks ago in which she revealed that Emyr Penlan and herself would be MCs for the Hall of Fame induction evening in late January.

We’ve talked about Ogier and Citroen MC wins but we didn’t properly mention the most amazing achievement of the weekend: Citroen is the first manu to get 100 wins in the WRC! They’ve been leading the chart for a while (since 2011) but to get WRC win #100 at the same time they’re celebrating the brand 100th anniversary is really something. Huge congrats!

You've forgotten one major thing, they got that 100th win in France. So that win has come with a French car with a French driver (and French co-driver) on French tyres in France!!

Yep, and for breakfast the French winning crew had baguette and Brie cheese, made from French cows milk; even the bananas were French, from Martinique island…I’ll save you lunch and dinner menus. Seriously, this isn’t about Citroen being French: the 100th win is a new WRC milestone and it deserves to be properly mentioned. Btw, vive le WRC!
