The reality is the price of one complete car is but a fraction of what it would cost to field a professional race team.
Double it for all the spares. Double it again for the hauler, tools, crew gear. All the paid employees... The multi-million dollar race shop.
You could say a Nascar cup car is a roughly a quarter of a mil. To field it for the season...stacks of tens of millions. I talked to the shop manager of a Nationwide team of 4 cars. The leased engines for the season are 1 million per car. The Charlotte NC building they are in...property, building, equipment...lights on ready to build cars...50 million.
So when you see the price of one complete race car. That's nice if you were going to put it on display somewhere. To race it... better have millions stacked on millions.
