He didn't drive a Formula Ford? It seems if you've driven one of those you're in.... except if your name is Will Power.

He's also been very unlucky with sponsors in the past. Graphic Skills has been the shining light- they've been fantastic, but the GST knocked the wind out of their sails like it did for most other companies. Ever wonder why his team had a special shade of green paint made especially for their car? Could a massive deal have fallen through?

Also remember that he has a rather large fan club that puts a fair bit of cash into his racing- how many other drivers can boast that?

Then there is always the team owners who are scared that he is going to blow up, implode, destroy their cars... yet they'd let some FFord drop kick go out there and do their equipment a massive disservice. WW can drive very smoothly and smartly- look at the Konica race at Lakeside this year- he was the smoothest out of all of the front runners, and that gave him to speed to stick it to the VTs in a car that dates back to 96/97.
