Ford Racing or Ford Motorsports?
Just out of curiosity--is there a difference between Ford Racing or Ford Motorsports? Is one for Europe and one for NA? Is one a sub category or subsidary of the other?
Who actually commissioned the BTCC Mondeos? If I were to create some period BTCC clothing, should I use Ford Racing or Ford Motorsports badging? In Autralia, it's called Ford Performance Racing? |

Kmchow, the money spent on Ford Performance Racing here does not come from the US and FPR is jointly owned by PRODRIVE and Ford. A very different situation to the North American experience.

The Prodrive entered BTCC Mondeo's of 1999/2000 ran under the Ford Racing symbol.
I believe that's more of a marketing tool than a statement of any company though...the FPR cars carry a similar 'Ford Racing' logo. |

It is an actual joint execise here as they(Prodrive) bought the former Glen Seton team and is building it into FPR racing.
