I don't think Nigel Mansel had to bring money, but what do I know.

I'd like to see him flat kick butt. However KV Racing is not the best team. What happened to Bourdais running for a 2nd rate team is likely to be the same for RB.

Still, he's one I will look for in the pits.
Someone, somewhere, is always paying for expenses, I don't knwo of anyone racing for free??? tires just don't buy themselves, fuel, engineers, pit crew, etc.

Either its out of the owners pocket, a sponsor the driver brought, a sponsor the team found for the driver, or the drivers pocket, but to race, someone has to bring in the money, and in these days of driver oriented oval racing, its often a sponsor finding a driver they want to represent them - so a driver has to come in with sponsor money, as it may be harder for a team to find it, while paying all team expenses.
