From what I know so far, both TGR and Hyundai are completely against it even though they may say otherwise when being interviewed. I can only imagine M-Sport and Citroen are totally against it just from a budget stance.
Not surprising the teams would hate it. A one-off suspension will need to be developed to have any hope of dealing with the mud and ruts. The aero will be compromised by rhino guards and roof mods, and the intakes and exhausts will have to be proofed against water. Not surprising that back in the day there were separate contracts for the WDC _ Waldegaard drove for Ford in his Championship year but Mercedes in the Safari and Cote d'Ivoire
