DSC article on “Why Peugot Sport isn’t coming to the WEC.”

Sample quote:

And finally, in Auto Hebdo’s most recent feature about Peugeot Sport’s decision, it explained that the lack of full technical regulations for 2020 was key in its choice. Without a full rule set, Peugeot felt it could not truly understand whether or not a cut in budget for the programme was possible.

The manufacturer asked for a standardised plug-in batteries for the manufacturers in LMP1 and substructures for the cars, both requests which the ACO has not made a firm decision on.

This, plus the lack of confidence in the competition in the WEC for 2020, meant rallycross, and specifically the allure of e-WRX, was enough to prevent Peugeot from green-lighting a return to endurance racing.
