I dislike the idea of an SUV/Crossover as a base for a WRCar; however if it meant Ford actually committing properly then I'd be happy about that - but I won't hold my breath. Listening to the Absolute Rally podcast on the 1995 season, ex-Ford man John Millington's comments sound familiar; Ford not really committing to a WRC programme. It always beggars belief the amount of love Ford get from rallyfans when they've consistently mounted less than committed WRC programmes through the years - and have so few Championships.
Strangely, I quite like the idea of an ST/ST-Line Puma as a road car (even as a fan of the original Ford Racing Puma).
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Who else reckons Hyundai will follow suit and switch to the Kona? What they do in 2021 could complicate things with the current i20 soon to go out of production...

I said it many times that I think that SUV's are the thing now and obviosuly teams will follow that.

For sure every manufacturer will make their Rally1 hybrid cars from models with hybrid technology in the road versions.

So these 2022 cars with a Global Race Engine, spaceframe chassis and standard Hybrid power package... is the main difference between them just going to be the bodywork and aero ?

As said all teams have those GRE now and all are completely different engines. 2022 will not change that.
