Situations like this will separate the respectable gentleman drivers to the ones who are selfish pricks.

Ben Keating had to leave a race due to a hurricane one year I think. But the team kept running the car that weekend. The lady who funds the CAT Acura and the GEAR Lambo this year looks like won't drive when she initially was going to but they are still going.

Im not sure who all the other drivers are, but does the team even have the am requirements covered without Paul being there? So it may be that Paul would be happy to fund the car but maybe finding the right guy it gal to step in is the issue?
