Worth perhaps assimilating the history of Brabham and Tauranac's Motor Racing Developments Limited?
Here:
When Ecclestone finished up in sole control of Brabham, both Black Jack and Ron had departed (Tauranac stayed for one year after Brabham had departed. Gordon Murray remained until 1986. |
Right,so the owners,& a few full time staff were there all year,but the travelling circus were part time,& either unpaid,or poorly paid,doing it for the glamour.Most of the others you mention had to earn money from selling cars to the public,to spend on racing.
