Oh no...I hear you cry!
Why not?

Oh No!!
Because we don't want to win by Rory Butcher being forced to sell his car to us for a song that's why. We want to do it ourselves.
This has been tried before in many Formulae (National Hot Rods springs to mind) and it NEVER, EVER, works.
Why spend hundreds of man-hours working and thinking about your car (not necessarily spending vast sums, just working at it) and then as soon as you finally crack it some other bloke gets his chequebook out.
No thanks.
In my opinion the only thing this formula (whether Kent or Duratec) needs to get a handle on is the variable costs, mainly tyres.
