No, different market, different demographics. I'm sure Ford Europe are not currently fending off a hail of abuse from Ford fans the way Ford Australia would be if they pulled out of motorsport in Australia.

Ford is committed to FPR for next year and anything could happen in the next 12 months.

Ford Performance Vehicles will be 100% owned by Ford, so there is more incentive for them to get some rub off for that.

Ford could have easily closed FPV but they obviously see there's still a demand for performance vehicles and want to protect that passion.

Good times ahead.
