Doesn’t seem like a great time for manufacturers to commit to new and probably not very cheap regulations. Keeping the current three manufacturers for 2022 under the current circumstances would probably be a good result.
Agreed. With the Covid-19 downturn the chances of new manufacturers joining WRC in 2022 are slim to none.

M-Sport are clearly the Team in most danger so the new car costs to them must be the key issue. Otherwise I could easily see them pulling out and concentrating on just entering WRC2, plus sales and service.

Just having Toyota vs Hyundai would be a very poor Championship entry. And the costs would dictate that there wouldnt be any privateers for variety either (unlike the Citroen vs Ford days).
