Whispers from the powder room suggest that the Ford Rising Stars Racing concept may have met a premature end in its current form.
Complicating matters is the alleged loss of the team's two major commercial sponsors, in electrical company Lawrence & Hanson, part of the much larger Hagemeyer group, as well as the Summit Fleet Leasing/Just Cuts/Dencomm funding that arrived with now estranged driver Mr G.Denyer.
With the FPR fettled chassis used by Mr Caruso to win the final round of the development series championship allegedly having now been sold to WPS, it begs the question as to what chassis are available for this team to run as AA/MN have reported, in both the main game and development series in 2008.
Especially with the reports that the ex-SBR and ex-LMS BA's as used by Mr Caruso and Mr Denyer earlier in the season have allegedly already been committed/delivered to Mr Bastian's Prova Motorsport equipe in Queensland
Choosing other chassis and preparation organisations would not be impossible.. but for this team, these deals dont seem to last beyond a season, sometimes not even lasting that long.
Presuming any of this actually happened
