Shame as I was quite excited by all the hulabaloo, Brodie's return to form and his showbiz style outburst!
The Dowsett car was IIRC pretty much self run and he struggled for budget all the way through. Your news snippet about the Smith & Latimer backing along with KA's post about the possible 'Rayscar' link up were both vital in getting Phil through the season i'd guess?

There's even a mentioning of the Dowsett car missing a late season race due to being prepared for Macau, although I can't remember Dowsett himself racing in the then Portugese colony.
Have to look up that YouTube clip of Brodie, for a transcript.
