I think you will find that Alfa Romeo - the latest incarnation - may have cost significantly more than $2 million. One of the other maxis (possibly 2 - haven't seen an entry list) cost about $6 million, and if the other one that I am thinking of is entered it was close to $9 million to get to a race-fit state with all the fandango sail sets etc.
Its amazing how the two paradigms of yachting and motorsport are so closely paralleled, not only at this level but up a peg or five when comparing the America's Cup and Volvo World Ocean Race with Formula One.
Wonder how long til Croaky gets back into Supercars? He has come cuspingly close on at least one known occasion
