Indeed - a Prodrive'd BAR anyone?!
More to the point, from our point of view, is Honda's announcement that they're signing up for a three year chassis development deal with BAR...

Prodrive also have links with Honda - don't they?
More to point...
Can't Richards decide whether he is a F1 or a Rally man.
Surely, Rallying will suffer if Richards is trying to run two jobs!!

On the contrary IMHO.. The WRC will benefit in the long run through the association with BAR, and in additon any extended expertise and resources will benefit prodrive (as will it benefit BAR greatly of course).

Interesting that Makinnen is currently sponsored by Marlboro. I wonder what they think about the team leader running a BAT F1 team?

555 is a BAT Brand for the far east and where the scooby rally colurs came from orignally (I thought).

Don't Prodrive run a 550 Marinello in the Euro GT Cup?

It used to be Loix, but apparently they've deserted him and are looking for a team to sponsor.

You're right. 555 is a BAT brand. They are starting to sell them over here now BTW. Not that I care as I've given up smoking.
