But perhaps an alternative answer lies in the connection between Britek Motorsport and the Development Series – that being the naming-rights sponsor for both entities, Fujitsu. With Fujitsu Racing employing two 2005 Development Series competitors, Warren Luff and Jose Fernandez, perhaps it could offer a drive to the champion of the series at selected rounds, especially as the trend in the tier two category leans towards operating Falcons.
Not only would this help Ford keep its future stars in training, but would provide a wealth of experiences not presented to drivers in the Fujitsu series, such as media skills, driving a V8 Supercar against the best in the nation and treating the sport as a full time job rather than racing at a track on the odd weekend throughout the year.
With youngsters such as Adam Macrow, Michael Caruso, Chris Pither, Marcus La Delle and Adam Thompson all manning competitive seats in the Fujitsu Series, the ball is surely in Ford’s court to secure these driver’s abilities for the future.
