D'oh! I thought it was a stunningly accurate model.

Sure, the base price is good but just wait till you get to the optional extras; you don't even want to know what a dedicated team of engineers and mechanics cost.

Fine, whatever, glory boy.

Also, Lamborghini's racing heritage is about as close as Hardibro's balls are to his eyebrows. (Purposely slightly miss quoted)

I wonder what kinda support you need to run that thing as a trackday car :)

Not on ebay, but I'll take this one:

Or maybe this Vanwall:

If you have to wonder, you can't afford it.

Formula 1 cars should all be stored in sometype of high security international F1 museum or have the drive train decommissioned by the manufacturer.

Ha ha. But my question was about personnel. What kinda team would you need. A couple of mechanics and an engineer at least one would think.

Well it does come with a pretty sweet Intel 386 processor for telemetry.

I have got the largest, most powerful, and beautiful, but underfunded, undermanned, and unreliable boner right now.

Want! I was a big Minardi fan back in the day.

I'm guessing Microsoft money brought the car to Lynnwood.

Nice. I really like early 90's F1s.

But who replaced the original coolant pipe with that super ugly (blue) coolant hose contraption? It is even installed with cheapest possible hose clamps! And the hose just seems be hanging there and it is not supported at all. This wouldn't very annoying in a $500 beater but with this?

I wonder if the rest of the maintenance is done with similar level of craftsmanship...

I know what your question was about — my point was a person who could actually afford to run the car doesn't care about what it takes, they just say "make it happen" haha. I would imagine at least 2-3 mechanics and 2ish engineers (probably more on a consulting level, but 1-2 that are dedicated) easy.
