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
The $2m mentioned is related to the cost for this race alone... not the original capital cost......

I had half expected Mr Crichton to have picked up a gig in Carrera Cup....
