I've been wondering where the money is coming from also. It can't be from the drivers as they're all pros one of them is a factory driver so McLaren maybe lending him out for free to back up ART and Von Ryan are well known for their car preparation. All this doesn't come cheap though and Von Ryan have largely been lying dormant this year as their British GT program didn't happen as a result of lack of funding.

Spa is the BES blue riband event so this does appeal to sponsors and it's cheaper then a full season so maybe they've found a one off sponsor. Wish they still had their original dragon livery though. That was utterly brilliant.
