Prodrive Team
clipped from QRDA website:
Prodrive Announcement Ford's dream team has arrived. England-based racing empire Prodrive's bold V8 Supercar vision has given birth to Ford Performance Racing - a determined three-car assault on Holden's long V8 Supercar reign. It's the news Ford's success-starved fans have waited months to hear. Ford heroes Glenn Seton, Craig Lowndes and David Besnard will fly the FPR banner from the first event of the season, the non-championship Australian Grand Prix meeting in March. Seton has sold his franchise to Prodrive, relinquishing control to new boss, Ford Performance Vehicles Managing Director David Flint. It's a new lease on life for Seton, the Ford stalwart believed to be on a two-year contract to regain his position among the category's leading drivers. Ford-contracted Lowndes was removed from 00 Motorsport when talks between them and Prodrive broke down, and will spearhead the campaign. Besnard joins the team from Stone Brothers Racing after being replaced by Russell Ingall. The team will align itself with the relaunched Ford Performance Vehicles brand, now owned by Prodrive, relocating from Seton's modest Melbourne garages to new premises at FPV's Campbellfield headquarters in 2004. Mr Flint said drawing on Prodrive's worldly expertise, the name behind some of world motorsport's most successful rally and circuit racing teams, would open doors to an unprecedented level of racing resources. "The establishment of FPR with the depth of talent and professionalism available to us through the combined resources of Ford and Prodrive really was our optimum route." The first BA Falcon is nearing completion, to be driven by Lowndes, while Seton and Besnard will start the year in 2002-spec AU Falcons. New livery and external sponsorship arrangements will be revealed in the next few weeks. Mr Flint said he was working hard with Prodrive to gather the resources and personnel required. |

Its alright GTV I was reading on another Sites Forums, breezed through about ten posts then posted my reply to the original post. Only to go back the next day a realise that at least 2 people before me had said EXACTLY what I had.
Its easily done and very easy to miss entire threads and posts. But as long as we can all see the funny side of embarrasing situations, we will continue to have a lot of fun on these forums. |
