If no-one can afford to buy/rent the C3's they would gain more by letting a private team have them and get the good publicity, plus the exposure on rallies.
Remember Adapta’s attempt to run the ‘17 Fiesta? Current WRC cars are almost impossible to be run by privateers. Besides, from the interviews Budar gave it’s not clear that the cars could get 2020 upgrades (probably they wouldn’t).

Btw, Budar confirmed to Auto-Hebdo that the aero-pack delay was mostly due to FIA’s lack of rules clarification and that after Ogier pull-out (no details about the parting agreement) they talked to Neuville, but they could only offer him a 1 year contract (according to their 2019-20 plan).

There always seems to be some problem with them.
I really can't see why manufacturers would be interested in hybrid only running on road section, i can't see how they can find any real development to use in road from this solution, unlike F1 where you have both MGU-K and MGU-H
Interesting questions; why not move them to ‘WRC future’ thread?
