It is quite common for a lot of teams to screw the driver over regarding the prize money. I'm glad Markus is putting up a fight. I'd sue their pants off. If the contract passage is in fact correct then no question Brooks needs to pay up.
For me as a driver if I fund a ride, then all the prize money and trophies are mine. If I fund 80% of the proven cost, then I get 80%. If someone hires me and has funded the team then of course I'll accept a lower percentage. I wouldn't do it any other way.
