I do not know about competition plans but see the Facebook page for Higgins Motorsport Services, Limited that's listed as a training/coaching service. It looks like it was set up at the end of November. There is a nice video put together thanking him for his service to Subaru of America.

WRC Champ Ott Tänak will stick with number '8' throughout 2020. Last time the World Champion started a WRC rally without #1 on the door was Juha Kankkunen on the 1994 Sanremo Rally. His Toyota Celica GT-Four ran with No.3

Honestly I liked it more when all numbers on the entry list were earned by performance in the championship, and not randomly chosen.

It was pretty random before as well.
The champion had #1 and his team had the following numbers, then the numbers were allocated by the team championship order. The numbers were allocated for the teams, not for drivers. A team could switch drivers for their numbers. Remember how Citroen had cars 7-9 in 2017 but for example Al-Qassimi drove a different number on each of the four rallies he did? Or Neuville had #5 in 2018 although we could consider him the "number one" driver of Hyundai (Mikkelsen had #4)?
Then, before 1995, it was usually only that previous year winner had #1 and everything else was decided by the organizers.

Petter Solberg is working on to attract manufacture to WRC to be team manager as himself after that. There is negotiations with several manufactures but he can't say anything more specific.
