How much of the team budget is spent on the Silver who would be dropped though? Is it really enough to bring the budgets down from running GTD being pretty close to running an LMP2 (or DPi if you can get one) program? Seems like dropping a race might save some but it feels like it is every little thing is adding up to big the numbers. It seems like PWC has a GT3 problem so it feels like it is a US GT3 use problem. But I will admit I know nothing about how the Euro/worldwide GT3 series work to minimize costs so maybe their methods are not as applicable in US series.
