Got a dollar to spare? Anyone with a fair few dollars in their pocket has the opportunity to get a stake in the Larkham Motor Sport operation after Mark Larkham has said he is seeking investment for the squad which runs the Orrcon Racing Falcons in the V8 Supercar Series.

Larkham has taken the initiative to seek investors to take a significant shareholding in the fully operational racing business, in a move that is intended to take his continually developing team to the next level.

Larkham and his dedicated team of personnel have built the LMS business to become a competitive force in V8 Supercar, running two Level One cars and finishing 2004 as the second best performing Ford Team in the Championship.

In detailing his plan Larkham said, "This decision is the result of much consideration, planning and analysis of what is the best road map forward for this team. LMS has never been stronger as a team, better sponsored or more financially secure, and as such the timing is right. This is an attractive proposition for the right party.

"If I can add a little commercial clout to what is an intelligent, dedicated and hungry bunch of racing people, this team will become a winner. Fact is, the sport has taken a direction that will require this strategic positioning of the business. I will not see the work put in place to create this great team and racing culture, not given the opportunity to exploit its real potential."

Larkham's intent is to stay on board, and he would consider staying as a partner, or in fact continuing LMS's current momentum without change if a suitable investor was not identified.

"I must be clear, I have no desire at all to leave the business, this is what I do. This is about offering someone the opportunity to tap into everything we have in place, and take it to the next level. It has taken 19 years to get to this point and I very much want to be part of the fulfilling a deep desire to see this team as a Championship contender. I am not looking to get out and buy a Hardware store or similar," Larkham said.

"We have worked hard to assemble what I often boast is the best 'team of people' in the championship. This is about providing better access to success, and finding a commercial investor to share the vision and take this thing forward.

"LMS is often labelled as 'the team with potential,' in a nutshell, I am now looking for someone, or a strategic partner who can play a role in realising that potential."
