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?

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!) $60,000 USD for a roller? What does a F1 motor cost these days? Lol! And I bet parts are a "bargain" too! Awfully expensive track day car! Its likely going to be way over $100k for him to restore. A bargain for an F1 car but yikes! 100K is cheap as chips. You can't even get a GT3 Cup for that kind of money, and this thing will run CIRCLES around anything with fenders! |
