I'm not sure what you meant by this post. It came across as an attempt at disrespecting the world's leading motorsport. Formula One cars are as much souped-up karts as NASCAR cars are souped-up tractors.
Even with the strict limitations set by the FIA, severely limiting what the teams can do with them, they're still the most technologically advanced cars on Earth. On any given race weekend, just the steering wheels a team brings to a single race for a single car cost more than an entire Sprint Cup car ($50,000 apiece). In fact, a Sprint Cup car engine costs as much as a single F1 steering wheel, and the entire Sprint Cup car costs (
$125,000 to $150,000) no more than three F1 steering wheels.
1) Define "worth the money". If someone is concerned about recovering their expenses, all the practice and arcade races in the world won't earn a single credit. It might be worth it in terms of having a car you enjoy playing with, but if the TC is concerned about expenses and recovering them then this still isn't even close to being worth the cost.
2) It's
still a shame that DP Barkered this so badly. We really
should be able to use these cars somewhere other than Practice and Arcade, and the current seasonal event. There is absolutely no excuse for these being useless in A and B-Spec. DP really fumbled the ball here.
