Is Skoda likely to return as a Manufacturer team in WRC2 2023 with the new Fabia, or will Toksport continue to be their outsourced team ?

I don't know about others but those "Printsport ones" are made by Printsport. Body/Chassis is from VW but car is completely built in Lievestuore Finland.

Others same style by Wevers with former VWM mechanics

Is this done with or without support from VW? Can anybody build them once they're homologated?

SKODA Motorsport – Development of the new generation Skoda Fabia Rally2 is going ahead full steam. Lately, the test car received some serious beating on French gravel, where strength and durability was the main focus.

The latest test video of new Fabia Rally2, apparently with Kopecky behind the wheel. The route is part of the former Rally Bohemia stage.
Strong rumours flying around that the car will have its debut at Rally Bohemia as a zero car.

And Finland should be the debut in international competition.

Would have to be with a different driver as Kopecky will want to be in the main event. Meeke i guese who seems to have been the main test driver on all surfaces.

What are the FIA homologation dates? Could they have it approved in time for a proper entry on Bohemia?

There is no plan to have homologated car for Bohemia.

Another Fabia engine failure in Sardinia (Kremer). i suppose the new car will have been designed with the biofuel in mind, but is there anything they can do about the issue with the old car? Too late for jokers i guess.
