Since we are doing this http://i.imgur.com/5cWxu.jpg
the pit i was a guest at is the one DIRECTLY behind your head (TRG).
This 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.
Often, though, amateurs and pay drivers end up becoming respected professional racers (e.g. Schumacher). DHH's results are showing that if he chose to do so, he might be able to do the same.
