This thread sort of reminds me of a interview I read with Geoff Brabham. They were discussing the rise and fall of his IMSA GTP career. In just a couple of years he went from winning the majority of GTP races, and the championship, one year to being just another car running the race the next. His comment was something like:

When we were a small private team, we had just a hand full of focused people working for a single goal, to win races. Then Nissan bough us and we had hundreds of people working on the team. I knew were were in trouble when somebody I didn't recognize, a Nissan engineer, was asking me what color the display in the car should be. Like the color of the display makes the car go faster.

Sorry for the small rant. This thread just always reminds me of this.

I'll shut up now.
