That there is no official announcement doesn't mean the action isn't / hasn't been taken.

Why would BMW want to unecessarily publicise the failure of a commercial relationship to the general public / media?

I can't imagine Prodrive would!

Or it was made up to sell more "news"?

If the project is shut down, Minis missing from the starting line will be announcement enough.

How could that be possible when Sandell is paying his seat?!

If BMW were to pull their association with Prodrive, and Prodrive then chose to go it alone, what happens to homologation?

I think current homologations remain valid but a manufacturer has to be the one to submit new ones.

So you base your interest in a sport on paint jobs? Seriously what is it with this forum?
