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.

All valid points but I wasn't discounting his long term ambitions, that's why I used the word "moment", although personally I can't see a £50m budget being regulated anytime soon.
