I was very surprised as well. About a month ago he posted a status where he was very critical of the future of WRX and rallycross, especially about how they were going to implement the electric cars (Formula E apparently wasn't that environmentaly friendly as one might think). I guess this is how he wants to evolve rallycross.
Perhaps they will compete at former ERC tracks and purpose-built tracks in Europe? Hungary, Greinbach, Essay, Sosnova etc.
The cars makes me very sceptical. Somehow they are supposed to be more agile, lighter, faster and cheaper than a Supercar. Since MJP are building the cars they have monopoly as well. The Lites for example are very expensive and there is no way around it.
