Didn't know about that article. Prost would have been a let down I think.

Would love to have seen McRae do more.

Mark Martin driving for Ford in 1995 would been interesting to see.

We did a podcast episode on rumours from the era. It has a few more bits to it than the article too.

I always felt that it would have been good to see the Mercedes project happen. We are currently doing a piece on the whole story behind that. :)

Definitely! Can't imagine he would have done much. Much like any other guest drivers.

Tim Sugden and possibly Bernd Schneider as the drivers?

I don't really listen to podcasts, that's the thing.

1999:

Gareth Howell entered a Ford Mondeo (#18) under the Atford Racing banner and got as far as testing the car but never actually raced it.

Colin Gallie was supposed to return in his BMW (#19)
