NEW FPR ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

August 1, 2007 - As of today, Ford Performance Racing (FPR) announces a new team organisational structure covering all areas of the Prodrive team's engineering, manufacturing and marketing operations.

Tim Edwards continues to lead the team as FPR Managing Director / Team Principal, with Simon Derrick promoted to the role of General Manager - Commercial & Marketing. This follows the departure of former FPR Commercial Director Rod Barrett to Prodive / Ford Australia joint venture company, Ford Performance Vehicles.

Phil Keed continues to head the team's engineering operations as Chief Engineer and Race Engineer for Steve Richards. Clinton Wilson continues in the role of Senior Race Engineer / Designer and as Mark Winterbottom's Race Engineer.

Chris O'Toole has been promoted to the role of Team Manager in FPR's new team structure, with Brad Collins promoted to the role of Engine Department Manager. A new addition to the team, Kylie Evans, has joined FPR's Engine Department as Engine Engineer.

According to FPR Team Principal Tim Edwards, this new company organisational structure ensures that the team is geared for major success in the future, both on and off the track.

"This announcement is an excellent opportunity for us to recognise the contribution that these members have made to the team. I'm sure that this new structure will complement the efforts of all our team members and keep us moving ahead, to ensure that we are able to achieve our on-track and off-track objectives," Tim Edwards said
