[WRC] News & Rumours 2020

The new aero will never be seen.

The car will be forever stuck in its 2019 form....

You can't further homologate the car without being a registered manufacturer....

Read Citroen WRT topic. There you can find all information about it. It says that the car can go through homologation even if thry are not around.

"To offer WRC teams more opportunities in the context of their participation, manufacturers are now able to enter an additional one-car team with a separate competitor identity and will not be permitted to score points for the main WRC factory team."

Do I get this right, this is like the "satellite team" rule? For example Hyundai can enter a second one car team (instead of two cars) to collect manu points for itself and most importantly to take points off Toyota?

This sounds like Hyundai and Toyota have gone to the FIA/Promoter with a proposal to run some extra cars to help with the numbers, but have asked that they are able to benefit by doing so...
