According to a report on the website of the US magazine Autoweek the Banbury, UK based automotive and motorsport development company Prodrive has abandoned its planned entry into the FIA Formula One World Championship in 2008.

Prodrive had intended to use 2008 specification cars supplied by the Woking, UK based McLaren-Mercedes F1 team but threats of legal action by rival teams appear to have put paid to a plan by the FIA to allow teams to run so called ‘customer cars’ starting in 2008.

The Autoweek story also says that a Prodrive request to join the 2008 F1 championship in the middle of the season had been turned down by the FIA World Motor Sport Council.
