I'm not sure that's it. Going back to March, no Cav on B6.1 setups. No Cav on B64 either. Joona, Spencer, Brent are all there though.

No, they should keep him. Nothing wrong with him. He is the Face of Mugen USA. Between his videos and support at the races he is in the right spot. He wins quite a bit, considering he is a brand ambassador, and brings more to the table than just racing. This usually is the case with top level racers once they get more involved with the Brand...i.e. Billy Easton, JQ, Martin Bayer, Robert Pietsch etc.

Agree about Drake. Same reason you wouldn't dump kody numendahl from AE or Frank Root from TLR. They are amazing at what they do behind the scenes even if the don't bring home the big trophies!

And considering that this is slowly turning more and more into an older men's hobby as the years go by, having someone that the older men recognize and identify with is never a bad thing. With a lot of things in life, you build up trust over time... even with a public figure on some levels. So Drake hasn't won big in a while, meh. Somewhere there's a sweet spot between retaining (and still promoting) 'old' talent and still bringing up the newer younger talented drivers, both can share the same space.

Drake isn't getting paid to win big races. He's paid for R&D, marketing, and various business roles. He is extremely valuable to Mugen.
