After reading the terms & conditions I can see why there have been no bids.
Having said that, if by some remote chance I win the $15 mill Powerball lotto tonight, I am your man, Mr Justin Bohlmann, & my credit card details will arrive shortly.

Is that Powerball tomorrow?
If the bidding started a little lower than the price of one of the cars you get to drive for the weekend, then Im sure a little more interest would have been seen.

for that amount of money you could do a few races in some classes and not 1 race.
maybe if you kept the car after it would be worth it

The only part that I found hard to swallow was not being able to put your brand on the side of the car....

$75,000 is way too much. They should of started the bidding at say $5,000 and then let it rise up.
Also as GTR said not having your brand on the car would put people off too.

Correct, Matt.
And if i were to be in a Financial position to 'Buy' the drive I would,
Coz those of you that know me, will confirm it would be the only time in the history of the universe I would ever be considered a celebrity.

If you price yourself out of the game it quickly becomes a waste, not raising a Brass Razoo!
Maybe if the winner was able to display their logo on the car it would attract a suitable donor!

If you have the original receipt of purchase, they have no option. A quick phone call to the Dept of Fair Trading will normally get their a$$ in gear as they no they can't win.
