Theyre not that much smaller. Maybe for a private team like Kolles or Rebellion. But Audi (maybe Porsche) are north of $150-200million a year. F1 revenue is paltry compared to what the teams spend. Even if they all got an equal share, I think nearly half of it goes to Bernie and friends. The wec, well, does it even have a purse? I wonder if they have a situation where that becomes a talking point. But in reality, manufacturers arent in the wec for prize money. Would that encourage more teams to participate? I think the future is going to be interesting. Hopefully some big rethinks in the rules come about and BMW is among those pushing for that.
