Today, the average value of an F1 car is $15.52 million. This does not include the millions spent on development, invention, research, design and more.

Interesting fact about car racing: Nurburgring Nordschleife is known as the longest and most difficult race track in the world. That is why it is the most popular among fans of fast driving. A track with stunning views, steep bends with elevation changes alternate with high-speed straight sections.
