Was probably thinking of this: https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/hyund...lly1%20machine.
He says "strong development" and "it's an i20". Being a tube frame silhouette I guess the line is blurred.

I didnt wanted to publish anything here as I am always pesimistic regarding lot of things, so I didnt liked this new rules so much. But when I was talking to people involved in rallysport on various positions, I was surprised how negative about this changes they are. We all know that rallysport is not in a good shape for various reasons. For last few years nobody made anything significant to make it much better. Last autumn they have confirmed that current cars will continue until 2026, they have signed deal with Compact Dynamics. And suddenly, few weeks later they have made new group to think about future of WRC. Another few weeks passed and this group came with revolutional changes in the sport with almost immediate effect. And this changes looks drastical in all ways. And not only public reactions (teams must also thinks politicaly and cannot tell to media everything what they think) of manufactures in Rally1 or Rally2 show that they were not prepared for these changes. And in reality I am not sure if anyone wanted that proposed changes, especially so quickly. For manufacturers it is also a bad signal that regulations and guarantee limits can be easily broken. So stability and confidence to the rules can be easily lost...

I can't believe the WRC is seemingly going to suffer from another Dave Richards fronted revolution...

Besides rally fans, let's see how the F1 fans and media treat this news.

Oh and don't forget how the fans shaped these proposed regulations!

Overrule them. Teams are clearly putting their own interests over the interests of the sport. Toyota wants to retain the status quo, Hyundai is one foot out the door and Ford doesn't have anything to replace the Puma atm. Keeping Rally 1s as they are is a death sentence for WRC.
