Ford Racing or Ford Motorsports?

Just out of curiosity--is there a difference between Ford Racing or Ford Motorsports? Is one for Europe and one for NA? Is one a sub category or subsidary of the other?

Who actually commissioned the BTCC Mondeos? If I were to create some period BTCC clothing, should I use Ford Racing or Ford Motorsports badging?

In Autralia, it's called Ford Performance Racing?

Kmchow, the money spent on Ford Performance Racing here does not come from the US and FPR is jointly owned by PRODRIVE and Ford. A very different situation to the North American experience.

The Prodrive entered BTCC Mondeo's of 1999/2000 ran under the Ford Racing symbol.

I believe that's more of a marketing tool than a statement of any company though...the FPR cars carry a similar 'Ford Racing' logo.

It is an actual joint execise here as they(Prodrive) bought the former Glen Seton team and is building it into FPR racing.
