IBR was founded by the son of the man who owns the famous Harrys Bar in Venice (Campari, Cipollini??). It was promptly re-named Il Budget Rampante by their competitors for their "money no object" approach which raised the bar in F3000 terms. I think the reason they disappeared was because Daddy said enough was enough and cut off the funding. Still, any team which helped Alex Zanardi deserves a place in history.
As for 'here today, gone tomorrow' teams, what happened to Andy Evans' Scandia group and Fayed Jr's McLaren F1 GTR team of '96.
I too, would like to know more about the Shannon fiasco.
