Why would Motorsport News go print something like that if they hadn't asked Mazda in the first place? but then again it still could be a privateer effort..

...and since when has someone denying something guaranteed that it's not true?
This one could mean anything from MN printing a story that had little basis in fact, as kmchow suggested, to Mazda not being willing to admit the existence of their plans yet, or simply that they've taken a serious look at doing the BTCC (and MN have picked up on this and printed the story) and decided against I guess we'll have to wait and see |

Look at it another way. WSR have no doubt developed BTCC proposals for several manufacturers without actually being asked first. That's a fairly common practice, and from memory the same way the Arena/Honda link started.
One of those manufacturers WSR approach is Mazda, hence story 1 - "WSR have been in discussions with Mazda to run the team" Mazda says thanks but no thanks, hence story 2 - "Mazda say they have no plans..." Neither story is actually made up, they're just a different way of spinning a story. |

Kmchow, I would never had put MN down as a tabloid.
I think Redshoes explaination is the most logical. |
