I was actually wondering if they will run a Vauxhall at all - they seem to get almost no manufacturer support and at the 2020 Media Day, they had stripped all Vauxhall branding from 2019...

Oops - that was a typo that slipped on from a previous document (VXR). I'll put a question mark against the VXR in the next update.
The team have said it will still be running an Astra. Adam Weaver - 7 Jul 20:
'It means that we’ve got even more time to develop the Astras and will come out of the blocks fighting next March!'
Is there a chance it will be a VXR?
Vauxhall still recognise the VXR brand on their website, listing past models and celebrating their history. A spokesperson is quoted as saying:
'VXR will survive; [without] six or eight cylinders and a turbocharger or two. It’ll need more efficient power sources. We haven’t lost this sporting brand, and it will remain at the forefront of performance motoring in the mainstream. [VXR] will always be a hardcore offering, with a jump in performance as well as very focussed dynamics.'
