Let's crowdfund Brabham the budget for running an Audi P1 to see it being spent on a commodity retail website!

Jesus is this brabham thing still going, apparently perrinn is aswell. Although he's been designing that 1000hp electric car for someone.

What will brabham need to crowdfund? Few million euros to run the Audi for a season. Lol.

A lot of goodwill wasted and some more damage done to the Brabham name with the initial launch of this "project Brabham" - if I was an investor, I would invest my money somewhere else...

Breakdown of spending:

50% Hookers
50% Gin



In actuality I suspect there wasn't much left once they'd paid for the websites to be developed and rented a couple of stands at Motorshows.

I don't think they raised as much as they said.... and what was raised, probably spent in a matter of months leading up to the change in plans after spec p2 was announced.

Classic Motorsport smoke and mirrors. Bit like British GP at Donington or Circuit of Wales

What about IMSA DPI?

Was not a fan of the DP's - but I think IMSA got it right with DPI. Plus IMSA is less expensive to run then WEC.

You need to be linked to a manufacturer - hence the token Nissan badge on the ESM.

Correct, DPi requires some level of manufactuer connection. Now, if Brabham wanted to build road cars, or, perhaps be considered as a road-car tuner of a brand, they would have room to build a DPi.

If someone wanted to bring an Alpina to IMSA with the proper backing, or maybe an Abarth from Fiat... they could potentially have another avenue to run a DPi.

Yeah that's £25 I'm never going to see again haha. Oh well. Worst thing was all the hyperbole at the time of the announcement about how big/significant this was for the sport.

Yup.
Good on the press, I suppose. The pages been hit, the ads delivered, attention & income generated, close the chapter, move on.

The current stories relate to a project that ought to have legs. The idea is to follow the business model of McLaren and create a super car company, advertised by a Formula 1 team.
Pretty sure McLaren were an F1 team that then started selling road cars.

As I recall McLaren made it big in sports car before even trying F1 ... and F1 was a lot simpler back then. (so were sportscars.)

On another hand ... maybe there are people who see no ROI in sportscars even if the team succeeds. F1 might be an easier sell.

Actually McLaren was a driver before it was a team. So just like Brabham.

Old thread resurrection but story here in today's Australian Fairfax media regarding the story behind the BT62 - crowd funding even gets a very brief mention.
