You are probably right, to make the investment, research and build a car capable of taking on the top sportscars will take a few years, unless they buy into a ready made team that is.
The Mustang would make better sense, idealy promoting though private teams with maybe a factory backed financial package.
I cannot see Ford pull out of motor sport, but I'm sure they will look very closely at what they do invest in. F1 could still be an option, should other teams withdraw costs could come down and winning easier, although perhaps a few years from now.
Looking back Ford have had little sportscar success, apart from the GT40, which was an all out win at all cost corporate war, most other Ford cars failed for one reason or another.
