Ian Drysdale (Australian V-8 sport bike manufacturer, a regular at the Dakar, and crew member from the Jonas Street bike team that at one point ran second overall) posted the following on The Chassis List (a motorcycle chassis list e-mail forum at http://www.eurospares.com) :
"...the VW race team budget was reputedly US$100 million. Think 17 support cars, 4 support trucks, 2 race trucks and over 60 people to support 3 race cars ( or was it 4 ? ). They had a doctor, a physio and even a lawyer ( for writing protests ). "
Suppose that had anything to do with where their budget went?
