I think he is doing the GRC in the "Titan" class: it's a spec car with a Hyundai looking shell on it.

Looks like it, yes.

I feel that Hyundai and Grönholm RX have missed out here.

They will be in World RX with real spec Hyundais. Maybe with 3 cars

Where better to start testing out Hybrid systems in preparation for WRC 2022

Are they hybrid? I can't find anything about hybrid systems in those cars online, looks like 2.3 ecoboost powered.

However, Paddon have quite a big following, and a good working relationship with Hyundai NZ. It is a lost opportunity.

Than in a non-hybrid, spec series?

While the layout for Spa is ready.

I can see so many things I don't like here, from having 2 jumps, so much tarmac, not at least so much tarmac with no gravel in between, and then having a banked corner in the gravel section. So, just set the cars up for tarmac, and have slicks...
Meh. Really disappointed in this.
Also, they had a magnificent chance here to build a proper RX track, with proper gravel sections etc. But instead it will be just like every other new goddamn awful track. Keep digging your own grave WRX.
