Big pity as the car seemed to be on the pace out of the box.

Sounds like Prodrive are too expensive,and would not be surprised to see the work go to Italy,after Prodrive have done ALL the hard work !!Do the cars belong to Prodrive or BMW,? As all the Fords belong to M Sport ,not Ford.

Its very sad that. Looks like it was coming together too.

Must be all down £££'s or Euro's though.

See, "German business culture clashes with British business culture"
Prodrive was probably "asked" to get the costs down and either couldn't or wouldn't and as the German business execs generally don't take no for an answer it was decided to pull the plug.

Isn't Dave Richards also a tad on the obstinate side? Maybe the BMW management just clashed with him once too often and decided enough was enough

Oh well...at least they didnt spend millions of pounds on it........
