That strikes me as high.

I've heard from NA teams to expect $1-2m to run the race, exclusive of equipment but inclusive of shipping. Say the Porsche Spyder is $1.5m all in? And assume you'd need another $500k to $1m in Porsche support and spares? That's a maximum of $4.5m, which is more like £2.3m.

I'm assuming that we're talking about privateers here, of course, and I don't believe that the existing P1 customer solutions would be more expensive than the Porsche Spyder package (unless, say, you wanted the Judd diesel or the Cossie V8TT ).
