At the indie forum TOCA ran last year Proctor revealed he had been running the team on as little as £5K per meeting. That's less than some Clio Cup teams are spending. By contrast VX Racing were rumoured to be asking for something in the region of £350K for a season in their third car.

The thing to remember when works teams talk about spending millions is it's difficult to work out how much of that actually goes to running the team and how much on promotion. Vauxhall's BTCC budget will include things like the hospitality marquee, trade stand, pit-lane walkabout giveaways, advertising, etc etc. With the exception of Dynamics most indie teams will spend very little on promotion.
