The 250 unit homologation requirement would keep teams from building something outrageously expensive and would let privateers run them (and be competitive) for fractions of the current cost. The top level cars would be similar to a P1 GTR or FXX-K, not a current LMP1 car, as the manufacturer would actually need to…

Yeah, couldn’t find a price for the latest RSR, only the GT3 R. Guessing the RSR would probably be closer to $1-$1.5MM

You do realize that LMP1 cars cost hundreds of millions of dollars to run per season, right?

It was closer to 1-1.25 million per car.

What sports car racing should do is base classes off street legal production numbers.

“disastrously expensive”

My RS4 required nothing during my ownership except oil changes and a new solenoid to control engine flaps (literally a $1 part). Nothing was falling apart, although the carbon engine covers yellow from heat.

That cycle has greatly decreased. Instead of 20-25 years, it’s a handful. Bluetooth streaming first debuted around 2012 - it was in base Kias in 2 years.

Probably true. My point was more that there is not a lot of risk for the leasing company with these terms.

If your hourly rate is >$300/hr, that is more than worth it.

I’ve looked into this before (don’t know if this is a quote from Putnam, but matches the style of the one I received a year ago). There is zero risk for the leasing company.

The reason you’d lease this car is that it is deductible as a business expense, and leasing allows you to realize a greater tax benefit than owning on a car this expensive (because of depreciation limits).

It’s such a good deal and local to me.

Like I said in reply to another post - they are just using simplification as a cover to hammer the middle class and give large cuts to the wealthy.

I am all for simplifying the tax code.

Tax preparation jobs are literally the jobs you just described as “good jobs” - above minimum wage and require skills/education.

Depending on the demand of the good being produced, corp taxes can be entirely absorbed by the producers (for inelastic demand).

And what happens to the jobs of the tax preparing people? At $60k per person per year, that $24.4 billion in “savings” means over 400k jobs lost.

The pole time from the 2014 24H Nurburgring was an 8:10.9 by a McLaren 12C GT3. Looking at the onboard video, his time on the Nordschleife would have been right around a 6:30.

Numbers don’t lie...
