    As I understand it, M-sport will continue running the cars but without financial support from Ford? So this will end up as a Prodrive-Mini thing

    So it's like BMW not supporting Prodrive

    Ford not supporting M-Sport


    This is cray!

    What? You only have one thread in the WRC section? Bizarre, this is major, major news for the sport, and without trying to be too dramatic, could lead to the end of the WRC in its current form.

    Citroen as a factory team are all but gone, with only Abu Dhabi money funding next years entry.
    BMW Mini has withdrawn as a factory team.

    Volkswagen are coming in, but surely now in a situation where they will steam-roll all opposition like the WTCC 2010-12.
