Someone please clue me in. That much $$$ can't be thrown around for the love-of-the-game...
Unproved rumors currently are:
He is tired of drag racing.
He has drug problems
His father is pissed about the money and wants to pull the plug
He wants to race F1
He is concentrating on getting Qatar ready for the world cup bid that they won to hose the world cup in like 10 years
There's probably about 10 more that people like to spout off without one shred of evidence.That which you manifest is before you.

Rumors have the ADRL now charging admission and stuff to offset the cost of the series. I can absolutely see him or his family getting tired of footing the bill for an entire racing series, "just because". Owning a few race teams is one thing. Owning a race series where you literally pay the purse out of your pocket is insane.

I know the sheiks have cash out the wazoo, but I also know they are smart cookies. Smart cookies don't mind wasting money on direct fun, I.e., stuff 'THEY' are doing... but don't like wasting money on stuff that doesn't give them appropriate return on their investment, especially if they are not directly involved. (that's where they get bored with it...)
"Return on investment" can be interpreted in various ways...Yes, I'm a CarJunkie... How many times would YOU rebuild the same engine before getting a crate motor?

He may want to go F1 racing. DAMN. It would be fun to spend a little time with his level of entitlement.www.realtuners.com - catch the RealTuners Radio Podcast on Youtube, Facebook, iTunes, and anywhere else podcasts are distributed!
