This is from last week's Motorsport News. Budar has said all along that the cars will be available to rent or to buy. However, this doesn't mean someone has the money for them.
didnt post it because its something new,but because they could be rented with homologation updates.
We had a conversation here ,about who is going to rent it when they will be no homologation updates with the new aero for example.

WRC Regulations
17.1.1 Each Manufacturer must use no more than 2 engines per car
name per season (see also Art.17.2.2 and Art. 17.2.3).

A third one would blow the budgets? Seriously?
...
Aren't engines linked with certain chassis numbers?
