Will big works teams hurt British FFord?

There's been some talk in the press over the last couple of weeks about the efect that Hayward Racing (works Mygale's) and the Van Dieman Works team running 5 and 4 cars respectively will have on privateers in the championship. I know Mackie Motorsport did very well last year with Mark Taylor, and are now the semi-works Mygale team, but can a privateer team do as well?

lets hope so ;) ......there can always be a privateer out there who can mix it with the big boys, only can he do it week in week out. :eek:
