I think it's great. Heart in heart, I am a Ford man myself and raced them for many years. From the point of view of what they are doing, they will do a good job because it is Arena. I also think they are very brave because they will build it all themselves. We went the other way round to get the BMW and let someone else do all the development work and put our own stamp on it. We have lost a manufacturer in SEAT and I know the Ford thing isn't manufacturer backed, but it is another make on the grid and it's a good make.

Crash.net:
You've mentioned four drivers you'd like to have in the team, but when do you anticipate knowing who will be driving?

David Bartrum:
I'd like to know myself. Obviously we would like to keep Steven and Rob and add someone to that. If we had four drivers we could run because the finances were in place, what a problem to have that would be! I don't think that will happen though but we have to keep working hard and hope we get what we want on the grid. We'd like to run two certainly and I have said before that I would run a third car if the money was there. As long as we run competitively and keep moving forwards, then that is what I want to do. I want to run two or three cars but the reality check says we need to make sure we have two on the grid at the moment.
