If Münnich will be the only Honda team in WTCR this Year, Honda will offer their factory drivers to them, but they will decide, who they want to sign.
I heared the same from other sources. Peugeot does not want to invest in WTCR anymore. So DG sport could try to find a budget, switch marque or leave.

Thank you for the infos Atyánk
. Since then I have read your article about Girolami joining Honda. As it was rumored since his WTCR visit in Japan, we will see. I'm not a huge fan of him, but will be a good addition to the already impressive field.
Berthon was confirmed today to be driving in WEC at Rebellion for the remaining 3 races and for the full 2019-20 season. As there are no clashes between the two championships, lets hope he will stay in WTCR as well. I was not expecting anything impressive from him last year, and in the end he beat Panis and Dupont too.
Greatings from GP-Zóna!
