The car is Ruben's Barrichello's retired champion Ferarri F1 car!!! 930HP 19000 RPMs 1335 pounds !!!!
The cost? $3.5 million to say you own it, but you can't take it home EVER! it stays under the control of the maker.
Now to drive it on a racetrack you must cough up another $2,500 PER MINUTE OF DRIVE TIME! yes you read that right!
However its not allowed to operate it more than 40 minutes per day 2 day limit per event.

Well, he does take turn 1-2 correct. He hits that way late turn 1 apex to turn 2 is a simple snap right. His lines looked correct. I don't see why he would be considered shitty. [Confused]

He's off the burms by a good foot consistently in turn 1-2. He's taking the turn 3 complex at 90 to 98mph, a good AI driver can take that complex in the low to mid 80mph range. He's not tracking out at the bottom of the carousel. And he is braking way too early for an F1 car. Hey, I might take it easy in a multi million dollar race car also, just saying he is no where near the limit of that car and he is inconsistent.

The burms at Sears are a bit high though for F1. My guess, since it's not "his" car completely, they might regulate him to where he can't. But I see what you mean on turn 6. He doesn't let it track out for shit. But comparing to most people I see he does hold turn 1 wide longer then most do. Most dive in WAY to early and hug the inside of 1, instead of hanging late and making an almost straight line from 1-2's turn in. I hate watching the line most Cup cars take there. They are so far off line it's not even funny.

Got this from the guy who did the install of the cameras for this F1 car. The entire crew was flown in from Italy as well as the car. That's F1 for ya
