The F1VWC admin team had to reach a hard decision today, informing Mal McKee that due to lack of participation his team would no longer form part of the Team listings in the F1VWC. This leaves the underpowered customer Ferrari engine on the market for any newcomers to cover the last 2 races of the season.

F1VWC admin released the following press item:

"Ultima has struggled all season long to attract any drivers. Team owner Mal McKee turned out on several occasions, but only appeared for qualifying. With the new influx of teams and drivers from the SFO, the decision had to be made to replace Ultima with a team who would be able to compete on a regular basis. We are disappointed for Mal, but also realise that he runs his team in other leagues and will therefore be able to commit more resource in those areas."
