Oh, that's right, they are winning everything. Anyway, back on topic...
By "firm confirmation" do you mean new entrants? Because from the "old dogs", Toyota has said/hinted publicly that they are building a car and during Rally Estonia, I spoke with one Toyota member and he confirmed they are definitely building a new car already. When I asked about others, the said that Ford maybe but with Hyundai he said that he doesn't know as I think even in Hyundai no one knows.

"But in general, you can say that it takes about a year to design a car and it takes another year to test it. The rules have been available for six months, so you can tell from it where we are at, Fowler agrees to reveal."
