#3This is pretty typical of the series. There are 3 or 4 drivers to a car for the Le Mans race (24 hours continuous racing). Two or 3 of those will be professional drivers, and one is a rich amateur who brings money. Pay-to-play.
How much you pay and how much you play is up for negotiation. Every team is different.
