    Default Formula Enterprise going to Ford Engines

    Just read in SportsCar that FE will make the switch from Mazda to Ford. Any discussions on Apexspeed about this? Page 39, lower right.

    That's a bummer. Did they say why the rebrand? I'm guessing maybe to be more aligned with the SRF so that SCCAE can be deemed a "Ford Shop", but I liked the backing to club racing that Mazda has shown (and the carrot of the contingency money they always seemed to provide). I haven't seen Ford do squat.

    Keith, Mazda stopped the contingency money in FE. So Ford picked us up. Ford Racing is shelling out $$ for us now.

    That's good that is simply a nameplate change, but how can that be if the Mazda-Ford partnership ended several years ago?

    My motor already says Ford on the side, and came with a Ford label.
