Can't help but think "what if" John Britten was still around... Moto3/Moto2 and the new MotoGP CRT teams would be right up his alley.
I've been pondering the idea of a "Team Kiwi" for some time, Moto3 definitely seems to be the place to start, as most of our younger blood are coming through from the Hyosung/Ninja 250 classes and they engine dynamics aren't totally different to a high revving single.
Shauns idea of a consortium putting up a 'share' and getting a return on any results has been tried and tested before with Scott Dixon, it's a gamble, but it could pay dividends with the right rider and the right person running the team.
It needs to be run as a business though the obvious consideration is remuneration, remembering that a number of riders are paying to be in a team, and a that aren't paying are riding for no pay other than any individual sponsor money.
If it gets off the ground (internet) and into a properly formulated plan, with credible people at the helm, and a rider I believe in I would be willing to come up with the cash to kick start it.

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

Read an interesting article in the latest AMCN about these guys.http://www.brpracing.com.au/
Ben Reid runs a performance shop in Oz, but also runs a race team in Spain, racing in the CEV series. Interesting that he was saying that he had been offered a place in Moto2 but was unable to secure enough sponsorship to consider running. No Aus companies were interested, and no European companies were really interested because they were Australian. He's running 125's and Moto2 in Spain. Must have some decent contacts though as he has managed to pick up an ex Marc Marquez chassis to use. And again he is using his team for young aussie talent, hoping they can progress from there.

They had a wild card in at Phillip Island, weren't doing too bad either!
