Potentially but at the rate this is going we might not see anyone arriving until the end of this decade...Even if we do get someone in 2027, that'll be 10(!) years since the last manufacturer joined...Toyota. Just cast your mind back to 2014 with VW & Hyundai joining...Now, besides the rumours we've heard about Alpine & Skoda, are there any other manufacturers even looking that way? Mercedes? Audi? BMW? Dacia? (which from the 3rd of January will be in Dakar), Mazda? Just sad honestly..that for supermini cars that cost a third of a super-car (assuming we're looking at Buagtti and co.), can drive on all terrains, the coolest thing ever and yet there's probably a tick-tock video out there with more interest than WRC. Okay not a great comparison but you're catching my drift (pun intended).
