Excellent. Do they take cash?

**nasxbrtyol** · 11-10-2011, 07:24 PM

And some twit will pay that and think he got a bargain

I've seen a copy of one particular test driver's contact with a front running team. Sorry, but your figures dont quite add up.

I'm sure there are more costs involved than just a driver - crew wages, flights, hotels, parts...

...gallons of Red Bull.

Which car?

I wouldn't mind paying 300k to drive (and most definitely wreck) a Ferrari.

Yes 300k to wreck a Ferrari would be good value if you work for McLaren or Red Bull

The thread was in reference to the Abu Dhabi Young Driver Test.

You simply can't do it just for fun. However there is a company which will let you drive an F1 like car. There were on Top Gear a few months back.

That company would be Lotus

Doesn't seem much really.

In years gone past plenty of drivers have just payed to womble around the back of the field. Times must have changed.
