I'd donate some to you if I could!
I'd actually like to see something like technical partnerships become part of the game in the (not-near) future. So perhaps, if you build a wind tunnel, you can rent it out to another team in your league ahead of a race, and the other teams would have to place bids that you'd have to accept to get access (like bidding on staff, but manager to manager), or maybe renting data logging from another team in exchange for part of the sponsorship money (e.g. a free user rents logging service from a subscriber for one race, in exchange for 5% of the free user's sponsorship money for that race, and the free user gets live tire and fuel readouts, even in live timing view).
Or something like that. Just throwing an idea out, really.
Edit: Upon reading this back it wouldn't really work for this situation. But it still would be nice to have some facility for exchanging goods/services from team to team within the game.
