Would be great for Prodrive to continue as a team not unlike Triple 8

Yes Prodrive are the 100% owners off FPR, as maufacturers are not allowed to own race teams.
I'm wondering if FPV (soon to be owned entirely by Ford) will continue to sponsor FPR.
previusly FPR with its similar owner was used as a marketing tool for FPV vehicles, as well as for the Ford brand, this may bot continue in the new year.
Also there was some economies of scale in this past as FPV employees would carry out some of the administrative functions of FPR. this would stop going forward as why would Ford provide this function for another company
