Seems to be just the UK branch of the team that ran in British GT thats gone as the parent compnay site is still up and they appear to be running in something (LMS?) in 2010.

No need for anyone to get their knickers in a twist on this one Gents.

Rik Bryan (of TDF Blue FXX and Morrisons supermarket fame) was 50/50 Owner of Team Modena with Graham Shultz (of Lambo HW fame). Graham decided to do his own thing in the 2010 season and Rik wasnt best pleased. Graham resigned as a Director of Team Modena and closed down its funding (making the biz insolvent)...long story behind this but they parted and Rik's advisors advised him to buy Graham out and put the biz into Administration - which conveniently could be used for a substantial amount of tax relief for him.

But the bottom line is that they have gone belly-up and into administration and that the team has ceased to exist.
So in answer to the thread's subject....yes.
