To me the new i20 rally project looks quite a failure..
Tons of testing since Nov 2020 and still nothing(it's already mid-season). Customers don't buy old ones and can't wait for new.. they will simply go for Ford, VW, Skoda or Citroen..
So rushing it like M-Sport did with their last Fiesta is a better option? Once the car is homologated, you're pretty much stuck with it. The competition has very strong cars. Also with the narrow "frame" of rules to make a new Rally2 car in, it's probably very difficult to make something better than what's already available. No surprise it takes a long time to develop...
