If you want to control your own destiny in a motorsport series, full time employees, a permanent dedicated facility, and all the tuning devices are the way to play. It happens in all categories eventually.. once you have spent the money on the low hanging fruit, you dont have to spend there again to the same level, so more money is channeled elsewhere
I was interested to read about McLaren F1 team and how they have $675m in debts, largely related to the Paragon gin palace they have built. Makes TWR's meagre $200m hole seem tiny by comparison.........
