[QUOTE="Randy, post: 405956, member: 443"] Yes - investing lots of $$$, but, they'll also get a good return on their investment if the riders excel as they hold contracts on the riders for 5 years. They essentially sell their souls. Example, in the first year, riders are required to compete in the Red Bull MotoGP rookies cup. In the following years, Red Bull decides which series the riders will be in, whether the rider will be utilized as a test or racing rider, and which team the rider will be on. If/when the riders exceed 250K Euro per year, the rider must give Red Bull 10% of the gross for racing activities for 7 years.
