According to Motorsport News published in UK today Ford has ramped up the pressure on the FIA to get the WRC "sorted". Whilst it was agreed in principle that a global promoter was to be appointed, (ISC?) back in June, nothing seems to have developed. Also unless FIA make changes to the 2010 calendar to include Finland and Wales GB then its bye bye from Ford. A decision on whether Ford commits to the 2009 calendar could be made as late as November 2008. It may be brinksmanship but Mark Deans says how can he take proposals to Ford's board based on maybe's and if's - companies need to know if its worth commiting to a design / build programme based on promotion and which events are "in".
