Charity racing?
I would think if David Brabham was really serious about bringing the family name back into top line racing, he would pony up some of the funds himself and use who he is to bring in investors & sponsors?
This seems to me to be "charity racing". I want to go racing but I want you to pay for it. I do not believe this is the way to do it and cannot see it succeeding anymore than I can the Perrin program.
Is the 8 million pound quoted as the funds they want, for a single car WEC LMP2 program, or is it a 2 car deal?
If it's for a single car, I would have to think this is a very high top dollar deal, more than I would say most WEC LMP2 competitors are spending. Something which would further cause me personally to question the whole concept.
But none the less, good luck to him.
