I have to admit I was wrong. I also tried to search for a source mentioning manual shifting, but I guess I just assumed all along that they are going back to that. Sorry.
This is the closest implying of it:
"five-speed transmission very similar in concept to the current Rally2 rules"

This is from March 2020.

Me too, I hadn’t heard that. I have to say I wonder what the motivation for that would be? I presume they mean a mechanical sequential shift.

In here Millener talks about hydraulic systems which cost around £40,000 so maybe the paddle shift could also be a way to make the cars cheaper.

Also Wilson wouldnt confirm Fiesta or Puma as their 2022 'base' car.
But I see today Suninen was given a Puma road car...

Yeah, the 33-km-long Y Diafol took its toll. 3 retirements in top 10 - Matulka, Allen and McRae. I feel sorry especially for Matulka, who is a young, promising and already fast driver....
