    actually buy a real F1 car in UK

    And you'll need a vast piece of land to drive it on to go with it. You won't be able to drive that thing anywhere on public roads, not because of its spec but because it's undrivable at normal road-going speeds.

    Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike... me...

    You don't need to buy the space. We can rent the track and other assistance for a day.

      I came to know that we can actually buy a real F1 car in UK (and may be other places too). Does anyone here has an experience driving one? It must be real fun I suppose.

          I don't think I can ever earn enough to own that. Unless I claim one those lotteries I win frequently.

            My budget might stretch to this: F35 Lightning II[^] - but I'm not sure I would fit in the cockpit... :sigh:

              F1 cars do come up for sale and there are quiet a few privately owned ones a good site is http://www.f1-sales.com/stock.htm[^]

              You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

                I used to work on the estate where McLaren made these and often saw them going out for a test run. I think the majority went for export.

                speaking as ...

                  F1 cars a notoriously hard to drive. I remember the wonderful Muddly Talker[^] being given a go in one. First they took him up through the ranks of the lower single seaters and he had no problems. Once in the F1 car, he could not get it to start without traction control switched on and found it nearly impossible to corner at anything close to a racing speed. Those bitches do not forgive anything. Ever. I too would love to have a go one day. :cool:


                  Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

                    The key to drive an F1 car is to not to think as if you are normal car. It must be in higher than normal (read scary) speeds to behave properly.
