Belgian Speed magazine came with an interesting article today. Although it's based on rumours and a lot of ifs, this is what they say:
R5 might be allowed to take points for the manufacturers next year.
Skoda might consider to register als a manufacturer from next year already.
This rule could also be interesting for Citroën if they continue with 2 cars.
They also link Lappi and Veiby to Citroën
It's not certain M-Sport will register as manufacturer next year.
