Surley there's enough rich guys in motoracing to take this company on. Lola as well.

Cosworth has a decent business. Lola, I'm not so sure about.

while it may be true that the money is there, the financial viability may not be present. Sadly I think that was the case for Lola, but Cosworth has more of a chance. They have fingers in many pies, and let's not forget everyone wants a piece of F1, where Cosworth has two customers.

Cosworth has been in the press a lot lately, particularly the business news. I think they are doing very well at the moment. It looks like Kevin Kalkhoven (owned Champ Car - there was a TV series about him a year or two ago) has built the business up since Ford sold it and is now ready to sell. Simple as that. They definitely aren't in the same bracket as Lola. Cosworth makes money unlike Lola which doesn't. That's why Lola isn't a viable business.
