Cooper: Either it's glory in '65 or it'll never happen
Cooper, 2-time Constructors' runner-ups and team of 1963 champion Jean Behra, have made it clear that they intend to be bridesmaids no more in 1965 - and will be investing heavily in their campaign to try and overhaul Kurtis Kraft as Formula GeneRally's best team.
Having achieved second place in the Constructors' two years in a row, with the team being at their strongest in 1964 using a car only just slower than that of Kurtis Kraft, the representative of the stakeholders of the British outfit have declared today that "if we don't win it in '65, we probably never will".
Team principal Josh Anderson, who has been with the team since 1953 and is widely regarded as being instrumental to the team's successes, was apparently not contacted before this statement was made - and while he has committed his services to the team for 1965, he made his own statement seeming to rebuke a supposed lack of faith in his abilities to take the team to championship glory, saying "If they're giving up on me, then I shall have to give up on them."
It is not known what team, if any, Anderson would join in Cooper's stead, but considering his success in making Cooper a title-contending team, it is likely the high-level staff, likely including contracted driver Andy Linden, would follow him to any new outfit...

Kurtis Kraft's plans revealing slowly
Information has begun to sicker through at the management of American FGen outfit Kurtis Kraft. After big changes were rumored earlier this week, there has now been more reports from inside the team that perhaps most talented driver on the grid Paco Godia is rather unhappy with his manager for considering to fire him. In response, manager Constantin Heller has told us "I never said anything about letting Paco go, but if that's his attitude towards the team, maybe I should consider it". Given how we spotted a letter labeled "GIVE ME GODIA" on his desk, it does however seem like plans are already in the making. Perhaps interested teams should reach out soon to get their hands on this double champion.
Another thing to reach out about has also been revealed to us - Kurtis Kraft has again mentioned an engine partnership program. Their reasoning this year seems a bit different, though. Unlike before, the car philosophy for 1965 is said to be rather locked down already, but the team would like to be certain about their budget for the coming year. Therefore, they are offering engine discounts to teams that decide to partner with them and become customers before the selection deadline - of course after some discussion about the engine's attributes.
To sum up today's news, whoever wishes to have Godia in their ranks for 1966 or would like an affordable engine deal for the coming '65 season should fax their offers to Germany right now, before the chance is over.
This report was written by Kurtis Kraft News. Honestly, at this point we can't be bothered to write it out anymore.

Cooper doing stuff with engines, maybe, possibly for 1965
Team principal of Cooper, Josh Anderson, today announced that Cooper would be interested in developing engines for 1965 - if it was able to secure a partnership with other teams to develop the unit.
In a statement, the manager said "Yeah nah, maybe if we get the support. Or not. Basically we're flexible about the idea right now."
Interested parties should contact the team through PM or Discord.

@Matthew Coldhill-smink (R51)
Chris Amon was hired by Porsche in PMs a few days ago. Apologies for not updating the Drivers sheet. Also I take this means Jim Hall isn't kept for 1965 (he didn't have a contract anyway).

Honda announces they will be competing in the 2-driver championship
After a meeting that lasted more than 5 hours, Honda CEO and Ricardo Antunes left the conference room with a definitive decision: Honda will be getting 2 drivers coming into 1965, meaning that their goal of finishing 20th or above will be mantained. Honda manager Ricardo Antunes already stated that they have some drivers they will be wanting to acquire as soon as possible, and despite having a slower development, the team considers that getting 2 drivers will be more benefitial in the long run. This decision was announced in a press conference, and in the same press conference, Honda's livery was announced, and it is visible in the official discord of FGen.
