What is the Fullwood sponsors relationship with Chelsea's sponsors/racing?

Logistics and staffing will be amortised over two cars, therefore the budget required will be smaller.

I'm guessing you aren't racing because points aren't on offer though?

Though they've probably been influenced by the rubbish Supercars management and VASC competitors pushed for years whinging about the AGP support races not being for championship points....

How did anyone get by when the Bathurst 1000 wasn't worth competing in because it didn't pay any championship points....

The romance of the old days is long gone.
The "Bathurst 1000" was a race for professionals and amateurs alike if you had an eligible car and could lap quicker than the specified standard.

The "Australian/Primus/FAI/V8Supercar/Bob-Jane-T-Marts/Supercheap-Auto 1000" introduced in 1997 is a race that tolerated amateurs for a while but ultimately always wanted to weed them out

I think that you are missing the point although you do make reference to why you didn't race in the Konica race way back when

Super2 is a 7 round championship with Bathurst as an optional round which as it says optional, in effect this means that the taking on Bathurst as an optional round increases your yearly budget above what it has/was the previous year.

I understand that Bathurst is prestigious but you can't call divers pathetic because they can't afford to do it when you yourself state that you would have raced but couldn't get sponsorship

I sometimes wonder what people's perception is of how much motorsport actually costs.

My deal would have included all the championship rounds plus the non-championship Bathurst event. As it was the whole thing didn't come off, which is a common problem in motor racing.

I only called the ones 'pathetic' if they didn't want to race just because it was non-championship. Budgets have nothing to do with that initial decision. Did the one's not competing this weekend chase the dollars to try and get on the grid? The discussion is about attitudes, not budgets.

The likes of Formula Ford used to have a non-championship event on the Bathurst support bill and fill the grid with reserves, as did many support races.

But to be fair other classes apart from production cars have only run sprint rounds, enduros cost a lot more money to run.

Depends on your ambition. If you want to showcase your talent on the mountain you will move hell and high water to do so.
It appears Fullwood has a bit more ambition than some.

Good to see that her new manager is doing his job.

However, the proofreader...

As for a Bathurst deal, it is unconfirmed if a car in addition to Mr Fullwood's Altima was loaded into the MWM truck.
