My point is that the prize was never described as being linked to the driver coming up with almost double that amount in sponsorship in order to get the rest of the money and the ride.
The $2 million isn't enough (it seems) to buy a CC ride, so naturally the driver has to bring additional funds. CC has stopped subsidizing rides.
