Maybe I wasn't clear: I'm not assuming that Hyundai would continue with other rules; I'm saying that it's impossible, for the sport sake, to start a new WRC era with only 2 manus involved.

If there's a real risk of Hyundai to leave, the FIA must react ASAP; they can't wait much longer to get the 3 manus formal commitment and they must immediately find alternative rules if that commitment fail.

Rally2 Mild Hybrids, probably on a Rally2+ mode (with a larger restrictor and more aero, in order to distinguish them from those used in national series), seems to be the most obvious alternative.
