Take your 2009 operating budget.
Presumably, you didn't buy a new chassis: few teams did.
If you did, subtract it.
Subtract 50% of the cost of the spares budget for the season.
Subtract $300K for the projected savings on the annual engine lease cost.
Add $1M for two chassis and a spares package.
That gets you within 10% accuracy of a total budget for 2012.
What you have to keep in mind is the size of the budgets we are talking about. A $70K body kit isn't going to amount to 2% of the total. Based on the AA budget for one car, it would be closer to 1%.
