How much does an F1 car cost to make? Estimates are in the MILLIONS.
This dude got a three year old model for about the same money as a clean original 6. Talk about depreciation! Anyway, the dude is turning it into a trackday car. How awesome is that? How a man bought a retired F1 car (In the interest of full disclosure, I wrote this article. If you like it, please link it elsewhere!) |

QUOTE(URY914 @ Jun 29 2011, 03:40 PM)  Just go buy an old IRL car and drop a SBC crate motor in it. I guarantee that would be infinitely slower than a retired Formula 1 car. Honda held a track day in 2006 at Motegi. It was similar to Rennsport, but for Hondas. The 2006 spec F1 car was 6 seconds per lap faster than the 2006 spec IRL car. IIRC. |

No question that is true, but it's more fun to dream about something that can be done in our lifetimes, i.e., the people on this board. |
