The key word in this sentence is Ford.

Ford have a history not only in V8 Supercars but in Formula One and GT racing, that when they lose interest as a company, then the amount of support they give is minimal. A team that is owned by Ford is like being given a death sentence.

Think of Jaguar when Ford took full control of Stewart GP. Why even look back at Ford's Dealer Team in Australian Touring Car racing from 1980 until 1995, then tell me where Ford's commitment is?

Prodrive probably suffer from a lack of funding from Henry's lot.
