Some more news about how World RX will look like from 2020 on:

-The final decision about the introduction of electric cars will be made on August 15 this year
-Peugeot, VW, Audi and Ford are expected to join, Volvo and BMW are interested, but no-one really believes that we will see them on the grid
-The chassis kit built by Oreca will cost 750.000 Euros, additionally 3-5 Mio. Euros have to be paid for the development costs
-Manufacturers have to build four cars, presumably they will not be sold to privateers, but entered by the manufacturers themselves (splitting is possible, e.g. Volkswagen Motorsport two cars, PSRX two cars)
-From 2021 on manufacturers have to build six cars, this might be a chance for privateers to buy them
-If privateers want to build their own cars, they have to use "neutral" body shells designed by the FIA to make sure that there is no "concealed" manufacturer involvement (otherwise they have to pay the full amount for the development costs of the chassis etc. like every other manufacturer)
-Renault/Nissan was interested in World RX, but decided to concentrate on Formula E
-No Hyundai involvement as well, Marcus Grönholm is unhappy about the all-electric switch and won't return with his own team
-Olsbergs MSE hasn´t made a final decision yet, but right now they don´t expect to be supported by Ford Performance, so probably no involvement
-STARD is the only privateer team which is interested in World RX, but there might be a chance that it becomes a real manufacturer team (Stohl has good links to China, so maybe a Chinese manufacturer)
-no information what Euro RX will look like

In summary: probably 16 cars in 2020 (each manufacturer four cars), no privateer teams
