It's a whole lot less than half Dallara!

I was surprised to read how much Ferrari is in that car - it's every single fking thing except the tub, nose cone (even the wings are Ferrari clones) and engine cover. I'm a whole lot less impressed with Haas' results too.

Given the advantages they had by being outside the rules for a long time and then getting all the customer stuff you would expect them to be competitive. Will be interesting to see how sustainable it all is. They don't have sponsors and whilst HAAS has bags of money how much do you want to chuck away to finish 5th.

FORMULA 1 TEAM PAYMENTS FROM 2015

(Figures via autosport.com)

Ferrari — $192 million

Mercedes — $171 million

Red Bull — $144 million

Williams — $87 million

McLaren — $82 million

Force India — $67 million

Renault — $64 million

Toro Rosso — $57 million

Sauber — $54 million

Manor — $47 million

Note 2 of the 4 top teams get paid above their station. Ferrari didn't win any championships but got the most money. Red Bull got substantially more than Williams despite finishing behind them. System is rubbish.

I like the ability to procure components of other teams. Perhaps they lost needs to be pulled back a bit but the approach is right. Maybe its a for the first 3 three years of a new team thing....thrn revert to a shorter list.

Shame tonsee Sauber struggling at the moment with finances. I will be gutted if they go the way of Tyrrell and Lotus as they have done a solid job since moving into F1

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
