    These are all privately owned F1 cars. Aome are in the owners possession, some are maintained by Ferrari as part of their Client Program. Not all are driven by their owners, as some of the owners are either older, or portly, or both.

    Cool. If you don't mind, how much do one of these F1 cars cost? how much for new? used?

    Are the FXX and F1 Cliente cars expected to be at all the Ferrari Challenge events this year?

    New? I'm assuming you mean how much the factory pays to build the car, because someone would die before any kind of owner got there hands on a brand new F1 car...In that case I've heard around $40 million brand new after R&D...don't quote me on that, though.

    I believe the F1 Cliente cars cost around $2m to buy and about $50k per weekend to run them. On a typical weekend they get about 90 minutes of track time. Broken parts and crashes are extra.
    The guy driving (I think) the 2004 F1 car was unreal! He came off the main straight and did not brake until maybe 100-150 feet before the corner. He looked like he was going maybe 40-50 mph faster than any other car through the section where we were watching. No coasting, just go, then brake!
    :D
