I think he's just saying what we all already knew about the global car industry and the economic climate in general
SEAT vastly cutting back on production, similar for all other car makers, US car industry up 5hit creek, relying on US government hand outs
Honda pulling out of F1, Subaru and Suzuki pulling out of WRC, most other marques scaling down their motorsport (SEAT pulling out of BTCC for example)
Still, I don't think this will be the last year we see them race, just not as a factory team. If they pull the plug on the WTCC too, their will be an awful lot of Leon Chassis' out their in need of a new home.
