TQ have split from Ansmann we know this, but just because someone has decided to bring in Team C cars which we all already know are identical to Ansmann cars apart from the packaging & brand name does not spell disaster for Ansmann.. did LRP go bust when they brought in Nosram despite the fact the only difference is one is painted blue & the other painted them red? I even once bought some Ansmann body-pin pullers that were on an Ansmann header cars but the pullers had "team C" embossed into them instead of "AR", if Team C do exclusively take over the likes of the rat, monkey & blizzard based cars, i'm sure Ansmann will just bring out another car next year anyway as i believe behind the scenes the powers that be in the company are sourcing new manufacturers & a new design of car will be along soon enough.

As for the team drivers moving, we've had 3 drivers move & that is it. No disrespect, but i could always see Mossy going back to Schumacher sooner or later & as for McGee & Woody, that is their business & nothing to do with the team breaking down, Ansmann still have a race team & still represent the Ansmann brand.
Not sure you have a handle on the situation and your only speculating with phrases like
“To my knowledge”
“I believe gone bust due to the economic downturn”
“Would probably be coming out of the catalogue”
“As I believe behind the scenes the powers that be in the company are sourcing new manufacturers”

Other weird comments
“TQ have split from Ansmann” No they split from Team C the parent company of the race cars.
“Team C cars which we all already know are identical to Ansmann cars” Ah read above.
I could always see Mossy going back to Schumacher sooner or later” Care to explain this a little more? Did you even read his statement on the return to Schumacher?
“& as for McGee & Woody, that is their business” Oh again Woody was booted as there wasn’t enough room for 3 at the top. McGee got NO support and maybe left due to extreme frustration.
Ansmann may have a race team but NO ONE that can contend in the A mains. Great race teams need leadership and someone to aspire to be like. Massive FAIL Ansmann and most certain “Unrest” with clearly no race direction.
