Any issues related to the drivetrain will result in Ford checking to see if the car is still running standard maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look through the sponsors section and speak to one of them, they know these cars better than anyone - including Ford... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
