It's a fairly naive article.

Mentions that Prodrive left the WRC to pursue 'other interests' whereas we all know that is far from the truth - Subaru left.

also mentions that Prodrive have been running Mini's on the WRC this year - again another mistruth in that it's clear that a) they have not done that, and that's because b) Prodrive failed to find the funding for the project and indeed annoyed the bosses in Munich so much they cut the ties.

Seems to have a very rose coloured view of the kids from Banbury....
