Correct, Ford is their sponsor.

I know in the past they've had Mercedes and other cars. I'd assume some sort of lose sponsorship rather than the full on Ford one now. I remember in Russia they had the local clunkers that all seemed to break down. lol It was funny. Seems like another country had a similar deal but I forget which one.

India manufactures cars, but I don't think that was it.

Does anyone else think that some of the competitions during AR is geared to a specific team?

No, I think it's the other way around. Some teams are just better suited for it.

Last season proved anyone can win it regardless of how good or not you are at challenges. Also LUCK must be on your side.
