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.

'The biggest fear in the championship is having to delay the arrival of hybrids. Formula 1 and NASCAR have both pushed back planned major technical rules changes amid the current coronavirus hiatus.
Such a move in the WRC could mean the loss of Hyundai and Ford, both of whom have made clear the need to use alternative energy from 2022.'

I think wrc will either have to keep these rules or then jump way back to cheaper and simpler cars. This can become a major concern. Also doubt on how long the calendar is with many expensive races. Lets see.
Just hope that wrc is able to finish 2020 and continue next year aswell.
