I get the impression they 're going after something like a refunded raceteam. Much like Ebbsfleet United footballclub did. Look here how that works:

It would leave the day-to-day dealings in the hands of Mr Perin. But on the mayor decisions we as fans and supporters can vote for i.e. the type of engine.
This might be something not done before in motorsport but it has been successful in other types of sports. Here in also lies the big problem. Are they going to get enough crowdfunding to run a team. A football is a sport with a lot of fans and sportscar racing is a lot smaller. So here in might lie a problem.
But if they do take it to this route I would certainly be interested in investing a little bit of money in such a idea.
