Post subject: Do you want to drive a F1 car in China?

Hey check out this months (october) City Weekend or That's Shanghai. There is a company here in Shanghai making affordable Formula One cars and organising races etc!! I think the car is like 280,000 RMB and a season of races is 100,000. You could buy one as a group-f*cking cool!

Anyone interested let me know.

The price is correct but there are so much for to a championship then just people buying cars.

If you have the $$ to do formula racing in China I'd stick with FRD's Campus series or the Asian Formula Renault series.

One round of gasoline on the F1 car costs RMB 280,000. Besides why bother when you can pay a few RMB to a taxi driver and have the same thrill in the streets of Shanghai!

You're right, in a F1 car everyone travels in the same direction and wears a seatbelt and helmet. Plus there's a much greater chance that you'll arrive at the finish line still alive. Taxi's, the new extreme sport at a fraction of the cost.
