Paltry isnt insignificant, not in absolute terms of amount. Even though there are large significant sums, the relative amount received to what they spend is small. Not small in terms of money amount, of course. With the money they use for an F1 car/team, teams like Force India or Sauber could be competing for wins in the wec. Of course these teams get a lot from pay drivers and personal sponsorships which wouldnt be as viable in the wec. All this Im pointing out is towards the wec expanding with more manufacturer interest and/or lower costs (which looks likely).
