Really looking forward to it and thanks Sinead for keeping us informed.

I'm also hopeful if Ford have $4m to spend on this event continuing their sponsorship of FPR should be a no brainer!

Any chance a deal with FPR will be announced today also?

I wonder how they will justify selling a US$22200 V6 Mustang or a US$30900 V8 for $50k in Aus.
Imagine the waiting list on a sub $30k V6 Mustang?? I'd have one in a heartbeat
I hope they give us some good news on the Falcon Update and maybe even fast track it, why develop a new Falcon to sell at the end of 2014 to kill it 2 years later?

Yes, the future of Ford in Australian Motorsport is of much interest to me too.

Did I mention I can't wait to see what they have in store?
