Wonder if Eckl will regret leaving Kawasaki if they fail to make it back on the grid?

"At this early stage in the project, racing and developing the engine and chassis has proved extremely costly for Ilmor's owners."

What did they expect seriously? Develop a competitive moto gp team on a shoestring budget?? Doesn't take a shitload of nous to know that running an F1 team be it bikes or cars is going to be fairly expensive..

I'll pay him to put my leathers on and go round up a few of my mates on the Spur on my bike.
