Team Arena, who ran two Ford Focus in last year's World Touring Car Championship, will not be present in 2013.

The british team will lost his backing from his main sponsor Aon, an insurance company directed by Graheme Chilton. Chilton and Aon will focus on the Formula One programme of his youngest son Max Chilton, who will contest his first Formula One season with Marussia team F1.

Team Arena's Ford Focus WTCC were driven by James Nash, who already signed with team Bamboo to drive a Chevrolet Cruze WTCC in 2013, and... Tom Chilton, Max Chilton's brother, who now remains without any racing seat for the season to come.

Following team Arena's departure, there will no longer be any Ford cars in the World Touring Car Championship.
