"2012 will cost a extra 1 million"
"At this point I am told to run a 1 car deal . Allready owning the cars and some spares cost about 4.5 -5 mil . That has some crash damage built into the budget and no driver salary unles you finish in the top 5 where it pays well . 2 new cars some spares and a extra wing body kit from another suplyer will add about 1 million to the season budget ... So where is the reduction in cost I ask ?????"

I see your point, but following this reasoning they should keep the current chassis forever...
when you start a new one (and it has to hsappen, sooner or later) obviously you have this kinda problems (also dallara will, I guess) but the challenge is to recover from it via new savings in the shortest time possible.
