2nd driver?
The idea is to take one name from each of the 4 categories and keep the spend to 12mill or less. :wink:

It'd be pretty easy to make our own versions of these if we wanted too.

I rather have someone who can develop a car with someone who can build one than a 2nd driver. There is nothing in the regulations that forbid entering a single car entry in the 1970s. That said I wonder if Lauda and Chapman would get along well together.

Hehehe I think maybe both strong identities who knew specifically what they wanted and were determined to get that.... a recipe for deception and going behind backs to get it. ie Chapman with Rindt.... No you cant drive the car you like, you drive the car I want you to drive. Oh by the way the car you like is back in the factory.
