Sponsorship levels might be the issue there... the arrangement at SBR seems to have them responsible for securing the budget to run #47, with the whole of the REC income flowing to SBR as well. Plus any Ford factory dollars. From the look of all 3 SBR cars, they arent the best funded in the field. Sure, the cars are regularly competitive, and always look a million bucks... but arguably they run 3 cars on the price of 888 running two...
Mr Slade was said to be on a performance review process when he signed at JRR/SBR, with plans that potentially saw Mr Moffat into that seat if the attitude werent there. I guess they are.. as he is still there...
Could Mr Ingall do a better job? Maybe financially such a deal might bring more sponduli to the team, to spend on development for all 3 cars. Mr Ingall probably hasnt really shown himself as a team leader.. at Perkins, at SBR before or at PMM.. so not sure the 'competitive package' would improve for them should the SuperCheap millions rock up there...
