A resolution to the ongoing situation between the BMW Group and Prodrive is expected early next week, when the Banbury firm is reportedly going to be told that its contract to build Mini John Cooper Works WRCs is terminated.
As reported by AUTOSPORT on Thursday, the BMW Group's decision is believed to have been taken to split from Prodrive. That decision is expected to be communicated to the company responsible for the development and build of the Mini either on Friday or early next week.
AUTOSPORT's sources have reported that a meeting of Prodrive staff has been convened for Monday morning.

Jeez the WRC is frustrating. Just when you think its on the upturn something comes along and nobbles it. Although admittedly 80% of it is there own fault.

Seems like a long time ago now i was watching Gronholm, McRae, Burns, Solberg duking it out with a full "grid" of WRC cars. jeez even Loeb wasn't around then still going round in a Citroen Saxo
