Suzuki in or out for 2010?
Ive heard rumours they are back in 2010 with a S2000+, and someone said theyve seen images on the net of the new 2010 WRC S2000+ car. Has anyone else?
And is Proton going to Prodrive and joining in for 2010?
What a good plug and play that would be! Show up, give Prodrive the contract and sit back. they already know the stages, rules and regs.

I heard that since Mitsubishi are leaving Dakar, so will VW and start a S2000+ project on Scirocco and that Prodrive will have a role !

In order for the manufacturers to make commitment with Prodrive, Prodrive needs to guarantee their non-commitment to Formula One first. I bet no manufacture want to run their WRC program with the company whose interest is at somewhere else.
Waiting for Subaru to come back to be :champion:

ISC want the FIA to delay the new rules until 2011, so unlikely to see Suzuki, Proton or VW next year at least if they get their way.
IMHO that is a good idea, it is too late in the day now with still nothing confirmed for next year.

Also if you look at Prodrive's flagship motorsport in 2009 it LeMans series racing with Aston Martin.
Now if you read the two links posted below quoting Max Mosley and his cost cutting ambitions for F1 it could be the perfect time to enter F1 IN 2010 on the back of serious cost cuts down from a rumoured £230M budget for a Honda type team to something more suitable for Prodrive.
