Maciej Woda from M-Sport Poland says that 20 cars will be delivered to customers before this summer:

Will the Fiesta Rally 3 be homologated as right hand steer for the UK? (in addition to left hand steer)

I think that's very unlikely. British drivers who use a Rally 3 car will be those that want to progress in international events where all of the cars are left-hand drive so they'll want a left-hand drive Rally 3 car to gain experience. Rally 3 cars won't be competitive in the class they have to run in on UK national events so I doubt you'll see any of them there.

AP4 car has more freedom within the parts to be used. Spec-wise it’s closer to Rally2.

Yes, I mean the Rally3 version cant be long in coming as its a rally-ready base car and been pretty easy to produce the AP4.

Toyota should be able to build a Rally3 version quickly whenever they like as its much a simpler car than the AP4.

Rally3 cars may be simpler, but there's a lot of decisions to make into the homologation in order to make sure they've made the right choices. Developing a car that is expected to sell in high numbers is more difficult than building a single car at your workshop. Building the car doesn't take Toyota long, but testing and homologating will take time.

Anyway, it's good to hear that the many things on the Yaris GR are made "rallying in mind".
