Did you bother to read the article?

ES: No. If we want to be successful, we need to find the money to run this on a very high level. You cannot do it with $5 million. You need plus-or-minus 20 million. WeÔÇÖre talking to some potential sponsors, and because itÔÇÖs a European project with some proven people behind it, it looks like some sponsors are quite interested.
WhatÔÇÖs your goal?
ES: We started this project quite a long time ago. We tried to have Kawasaki build their technology center up in Europe, with Ilmor as responsible for the engine. Finally, this didnÔÇÖt happen, and Ilmore found a very big interest to get into motorcycle racing. ItÔÇÖs a racing company. I think thereÔÇÖs a possibility to prove technology from Europe. If we can do a good job, I think we will find the sponsorship.
