What cost more

I always read that the costs to keep a 333sp running are huge. But what costs more to run a FXX, F50 GT, 333 SP? Also does the 333sp require more money to be put into it then a ex F1 car?

 

Not sure what the point of this question is? Are you considering acquiring one of them? Anyone who has the wherewithall to one or more of these cars does not likely care about the cost to run/upkeep them. Suffice it to say that it probably doesn't cost much to store them in a museum other than an annual service. To run them on a regular basis is likely a different story.

 

Ive heard over and over that a 333SP costs alot to run. Never heard it compared to any other race cars however. But from people Ive talked to there is little else out there that costs as much as a Formula 1 car...so to at least attempt to answer one of your questions..It would be my guess that no a 333 does not cost as much as a period F1 car to run.

 

I have heard something like 200k$ per 1000 miles on a 2004 F1 car.

 

Damn

 

IF you could afford that, why not get a new F430/599 every 1-2000 miles?

 

Uh ? You answered your own question.

If i could foot the bill, i wouldnt be buying a F430 every 3 minutes on the track..Id be driving my F248..

 

Wut?

Price of upkeep for an F1 car is $200,000 for 1000 miles. You could get a F430 for every 1000 miles you put on an F1 car.

 

Where does the cost lie? Rebuilding things? Replacing things? Just curious.

 

if you own an F1, you're not short of cash

 

Where's the fun in that? 5 F430s won't go as fast as 1 F1 car, period.

 

I just want to have an infinite number of Daewoos so I could get out of one and into another for the rest of time...

Wait....

Yeah, lets just take the F1 car....

Wow, for a second there, I sounded like an uneducated moron... would hate to be one of those...

I'd imagine a trust fund baby would have no problem spending that. Now people who actually earned their massive fortunes (entertainers, lawyers need not apply) would be much more hard pressed IMHO to spend that kinda day for a recreational auto.

Because you can afford an F1 car....

 

The cost is all in an engine rebuild (circa 150K EUR) - the reduce rev limit and you can run 1500 km, which does you 6-10 events, so if you run F1 clienti every 2 years or so. The track support, storeage etc from Ferrari is actually very reasonable and actually much cheaper than running Challenge in that aspect. Obviously hitting or breaking anything is bad and costs are v expensive.

Its worth noting that the cost in tires alone to run a challenge car works out at 40$ a lap, then about another 40$ in brakes a lap, since they are lifed at 1500km also. Its probably about the half the cost of running Ferrari challenge to run F1 Clienti (not crashing in either, but then IMO you are much more likely to crash/be crashed in challenge!).

Running any race car is not for the faint of wallet.

 

Dan lets talk off-line if you are interested in a 333SP...
