Maybe, but this isn't her second year as a team owner. She's been running a GT team for a few years beforehand and largely financed herself anyway so it wasn't a completely new thing.
The only thing that I can see as changing is the amount of money she has available to her, which may have an impact on her motivation. Certainly a V8 team is way more expensive than her GT team - and she bought in at the most expensive time as well with COTF build.
I'm guessing she wasn't expecting all her sponsors to walk away at the same time, so perhaps the commercial side of it is much harder than she expected it to be.
