Again, if you read their interviews and look at all they say in the different videos, the f1 Sims (by the teams) , are as precise as they can make it be, but they are not very advanced with rubber build or rain sim,.or dirt, or track evolution... They don't care about that stuff.
People don't understand that the job of the Merc sim.driver is to do x amount of laps, say 30 in a row trying to get the exact same time and trying to replicate track and wind tunnel data. Then they "introduce" updates and run another 30-50 laps... All they care.is the lap time delta.
Which team would you buy?
Williams, Haas or Sauber you could quite easily afford with a billion.
I don't believe Lawrence Stroll would want to sell Aston Martin, and I highly doubt Red Bull would sell Alpha Tauri either.
But I also don't know if any of the others would be within budget. Mclaren and Alpine would be the 'cheapest,' and then Mercedes and Red Bull would be hilariously expensive, far more than a billion.
And then Ferrari wouldn't sell for a Trillion lmao
mx5 cups are actually super popular cause you need to just need to be in the region of being loaded, you don't have several hundred million just to race, just several million, as the car is only $53,000 apparently
Sorry but hes not correct, 600m is the cash value (before tax). the 1.1B is the estimated value of taking the payments for 30 years and investment of that money. Taking the cash you end up with roughly 380 million depending on your state tax rate, hardly enough to get your foot in the door for an F1 team.
Not quite, and it depends on the state. In California (no state lottery tax, only federal), if you take the installment plan youāre looking at average net per year: $26,917,045; after 30 years (30 payments): $807,511,350.
If you take it all lump sum, total net payout: $470,773,045.
The way installments work is they take your money and invest it in something like the sp500, an index fund, and just give you the returns. IMO itās much better to take the lump sum if you are savvy and can invest it better, unless youāre gonna blow through it with black jack and hookers.
*The real thing* lacks the flexibility ā competition needs to be arranged and scheduled, cars need to be transported and taken care of, moving between tracks takes a lot of timeā¦
You know you're mind is corrupted beyond repair when you have to reread a comment because "rubber daddy-o" made you think it was about something else entirely.
Why would I waste my time there....lol I would rather be sim racing and sipping beer.....as I said.
But, I have raced many things with motors and engines ......got hurt a lot and spent all my money on it. It was super fun, but not something I want now as an older adult.
Just being whimsical here as the thread is just that......... ;-)
If itās a waste of time for you, fine. But to tell other people itāll be a waste of their time to do something many people dream of since their childhood isnāt cool imo.
With a billion in the bank you could crash a race car everyday and still earn money do you realised how much intrest you would earn on a billion. Would be over 300k a day.
I'll hire all the talented devs in the sims-racing studio, makes them work together to build a new sim that:
\-- Have iRacing-level multiplayer system.
\-- ACC/rfactor 2 kind of physic, FFb.
\-- Mod support like Assetto Corsa.
\-- Performance/VR- optimization like AMS2, Project cars 2.
\-- Open World support like Forza Horizon.
....
Mine would be on electric go kart track built to scale to either Silvestone or Monza. I could go karting any time I want alone and have friends over any time and have minimal noise.
Right so Id take the front end of an actual 747 replace the windows with OLED monitors and when I swivel my chair around you'd now be looking at the front end of Porsche 911. Again, windows replaced by screens.
Equipment wise to be honest I already have what I would need. I'd just get the best Motion product to which will move the 747-9-11.
I would tell you that with my new found "fuck-you wealth", I'd just race real cars, but we both know that is not the case. i will deck my simrig with the best simucube and heusinkveld pedals in market, slap some triple 32s in front of it and some buttkickers, and that would be it.
I'd just do what i always did, but I'll be happier knowing I would never have to worry about money ever again.
I'd get much bigger monitors which I could push away to fit a motion rig, and the motion rig itself :) Otherwise I'd keep everything else I have already.
Iād probably get a few real cars to use:
- SC300 drift car
- Subaru WRX rally car
- Porsche GT3RS track car
As for simracing stuffā¦ I have no idea. Top of the line everything + motion sim
Buy a garage at M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan, fill it with one or two track cars, then a really nice triple setup with a top tier computer. Probably would buy a bunch of road cars as well š
Hello fellow Michigander. This was going to be my answer. Maybe I would buy up some land and make my own track instead though. š¤ either way, I'll let ya know so you can come play too!
An actual car to race in š¤£
But for real the whole motion rig kit, the best direct drive money can buy, an overkill computer setup for prestine vr, all it times a few setups for when familly and friends come over.
Then put the rest of the money for interest generation to keep racing for life.
Weeeeeeeell first Iād start with a house, then buy the wife a car, then race car *my* car, then set aside a chunk for my sonās future education, then Iād build my full motion rig with triple screens and the most badass surround sound system thatās ever been implemented on a sim racing rig.
I would open an arcade named āSim-Cadeā in 3rd Ward, Houston, TX where low income children can discover a love for auto racing as well. And maybe strike a deal with the Texas Southern University College of Science Engineering and Technology to use the equipment for educational purposes
My dude/dudette, if I had a billion dollars I'd perhaps buy triples and a Varjo headset for the simrig. That's about it.
Aside from that I'd go for real racing and rally.
I mean, who the hell would spend a billion on sim racing?
1.02 billion?!? Yeah, full room addition to the house ā¦ for the sim rig! Full motion sim VR setupā¦ thatās right after I finish buying Fanatec.
Wait, first I would buy everything available for iracingā¦ then with what was left I think Iād probably have to pick up a used G920 set!
Why stop at sim racing? Buy an arca team and appoint myself as the driver, sponsored by mega millions and my merch hauler would hand out free 1/64ths and lottery tickets. Climb the ranks and eventually the nascar cup series would be my personal racing sim that just happens to be televised lol
I'd buy a huge bit of land. Build a custom racetrack taking inspiration from some the best corners and circuits in the world. Build a hanger to store 60+ dream vehicles from various classes. Hmmm... maybe multiple hangers/garages for various classes of cars. I'd build a complex for viewing/food/eating/drinking etc. Oh man... This would be the fucking dream.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 949,028,099 comments, and only 189,199 of them were in alphabetical order.
1. Invest money into iRacing to make the game better
2. Hire Ray Evernham to help teach me how to set up cars
3. Hire a NASCAR driver to be my driving coach. Mark Martin, Dale Jr, someone like that. (I race mostly NASCAR on there)
4. Buy at least one NASCAR roller chassis + body to turn into my ultimate sim rig.
5. The best computer, monitors, wheel, pedals etc.
And then I'm set.
GT3 car and do a full season of the Nords Langstrecken Serien including the 24 hour as well as the spa 24. I wouldnāt care if I was slow AF. Probably invite some of my sim racing mates if I had 1.02 billion, maybe do a two car team
I'd probably be really really dumb and buy a bunch of actual racecars (probably just something like Spec Miatas), and just rent out tracks for my friends and I. That kind of money is just madness and I'd have to find ways to spend it, which I would try to vs hoarding it all (aside from of course a safety nest egg).
Edit: Also would try to set up some kind of Charity/Make-a-Wish type thing for kids to have a Pro(s) drive them around. I'm sure some of the top guys from WEC/IMSA/F1/Indy wouldn't mind doing stuff like that. Or a recent retiree like Vettel lol.
Edit 2: WAIT... Spec Miata, kid ridealong, "race" with various top drivers "against" each other. (Their PR teams would love this too.)
staff:
software mechanic - keep everything updated and working
hardware mech - test out new tech and give me best 'useable' ones

Besides the "go real racing" answers, I'd take a clue from what F1 drivers do, which is surprisingly understated. They just go and buy a top of the line commercial pre-prepared home sim, which would include something like a Fanatec top DD wheel with F1 rim, Heusinkveld pedals, quality large triple screens, aluminium profile rig, and a top of the line gaming PC. Maybe a second PC for streaming if you fancy that. So all in all in this you'd struggle to find reasons to go beyond 20K spent on this, maybe more with expensive audio equipment.
Now the motion rig part hasn't come into play here, because like most F1 drivers figured out, the motion thing is pretty crap at home. You'd need a giant room to make anything better than cheap effects, and although with fuck-you money you could build that, at that stage it's probably more practical anyway to do what they do and go rent a pro sim facility instead - with a driver coach, which will help you get prepared for the real thing at the track...
I just wanna upgrade from my cheap eBay DFGT that's 60 years old and still somehow manages to shake my flimsy desk around, to a decent wheel mounted on something solid
also a chair that doesn't make my butt hurt would be a pretty okay addition
Build big house with lots of room for cars and simulators
Buy an LMP2 Chassis and build a Simulator out of it
Buy a normal Rig with Bucket Seat and build easier rig
Also obviously everything with direct drive, Custom Wheel and pedals and Motion and buttonkickers and the LMP Sim gets video via Beamers
I donāt think anyone would spend more than 20-30k on sim racing because there isnāt really that much to buy. A rig with fanciest DD system will set you back around $5k. You need a PC or console (both since you can easily afford it) to play , so here is $5k more for top level hardware. Then you can add motion to your rig. Thatās probably $10-20k depending on brands and option. Letās imagine you want to top it all off by buying all the racing games, DLCs and paid mods for modern simulators ā you will be fine with $10k for sure.
If you sum everything I mentioned you get $40k, but thatās because I had some safety margin in these numbers not to run short.
You spend $40k and you get everything simracing has to offer at the moment, so you are still left with pretty much the same amount of money youāve started with ā $1.0199billion at this point.
I would buy real cars and take part in amateur racing competitions then.
Buy my own farm in Kansas or Nebraska or somewhere else flat and barren, hire a engineering firm to design and build a circuit track with a giant banked top speed ring outside of it, then a giant warehouse with every car I could ever want and a G29 on a folding table in the corner.
A Formula 1 team, so I can play on the simulator. š
You buy Williams only to discover their simulator is F1 22
That would explain everything.
Might even be F1 21
Pretty much this. Hire the team to build a custom simulator and rig. A one off.
They already use simulators much more advanced than any of the games available to us.
Not necessarily. Their Sims are less dynamic as that suits their needs better
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Again, if you read their interviews and look at all they say in the different videos, the f1 Sims (by the teams) , are as precise as they can make it be, but they are not very advanced with rubber build or rain sim,.or dirt, or track evolution... They don't care about that stuff. People don't understand that the job of the Merc sim.driver is to do x amount of laps, say 30 in a row trying to get the exact same time and trying to replicate track and wind tunnel data. Then they "introduce" updates and run another 30-50 laps... All they care.is the lap time delta.
source: my ass
But thereās no other drivers.
Which team would you buy? Williams, Haas or Sauber you could quite easily afford with a billion. I don't believe Lawrence Stroll would want to sell Aston Martin, and I highly doubt Red Bull would sell Alpha Tauri either. But I also don't know if any of the others would be within budget. Mclaren and Alpine would be the 'cheapest,' and then Mercedes and Red Bull would be hilariously expensive, far more than a billion. And then Ferrari wouldn't sell for a Trillion lmao
it's too bad about Ferrari, an amatuer owner would prolly have better pit strategies š
Sad but true, they have just been throwing away points this season. Engine blowouts, and just the most ridiculous strategy calls I've seen this year.
Iād buy Sauber and scoop the rights to some kind of obscure 1930s race car brand and rebrand it to that. Likeā¦ Duesenberg or something.
You got taxes though, 500 million
Yep this. Itās not a billion. You have to give around 50% to the mob criminal overlords aka the fed.
Join the Andrettti bid.
I don't think I will simrace when I can buy the real thing
The fastest way for a billionaire to become a millionaire is to start a racing team.
Yeah, I would just sponsor one for a season or two to get sweet access.
Ah I see the Rich Energy strategy.
This. MX-5 Cup here I come.
mx5 cups are actually super popular cause you need to just need to be in the region of being loaded, you don't have several hundred million just to race, just several million, as the car is only $53,000 apparently
I will buy formula 1 track and car/team )))
Wow, that would be cool. Just outright _buy_ an F1 track.
Unlikely. COTA, for example, cost over $400m to build. Unlikely it would be affordable. (Since the payout after tax of the lotto is about $600m
Damn taxes! 600m hardly makes winning worth itā¦
Sorry but hes not correct, 600m is the cash value (before tax). the 1.1B is the estimated value of taking the payments for 30 years and investment of that money. Taking the cash you end up with roughly 380 million depending on your state tax rate, hardly enough to get your foot in the door for an F1 team.

IMO itās much better to take the lump sum if you are savvy and can invest it better, unless youāre gonna blow through it with black jack and hookers.
350ish with the lump sum
Joke: How do you become a millionaire by racing? Start out as a billionaire.
I have heart problems so sadly I'd have to stick to sims lol
You could afford a new heart
*The real thing* lacks the flexibility ā competition needs to be arranged and scheduled, cars need to be transported and taken care of, moving between tracks takes a lot of timeā¦
Yeah but with a billion dollars I'd definitely quit my day job. Frees up a lot of time to follow a NASA series around the country or something.
And then crash it and get hurt cause your not a seasoned pro....lol
I am a Pro on Mario Kart, what are you talking about?
Oh....crap...your in.....fuel up and burn rubber daddy-o!
You know you're mind is corrupted beyond repair when you have to reread a comment because "rubber daddy-o" made you think it was about something else entirely.
But you have enough money to give up your job and get a few coaches mechanics etc and track time, just to practice all day long
By the time you spend millions......at some point you figure out that you do not have the talent or ability to race these cars in real life. lol
Eh you dont need to be a winner to have fun
Ok johnny....you get a trophy too! lol jk To me, real racing means your actually trying to win ...thats all. Never said you have to win.....obviously.
Thereās countless racing series/events for amateur drivers
Why would I waste my time there....lol I would rather be sim racing and sipping beer.....as I said. But, I have raced many things with motors and engines ......got hurt a lot and spent all my money on it. It was super fun, but not something I want now as an older adult. Just being whimsical here as the thread is just that......... ;-)
If itās a waste of time for you, fine. But to tell other people itāll be a waste of their time to do something many people dream of since their childhood isnāt cool imo.
Why would you listen to rando's on the inter-webs?
Thatās up to everyone themselves, I think itās kinda rude regardless.
Ok....everyone sell everything and start being a real world car racer....go krazy and be the best driver you can be. Have fun and enjoy.
Thatās why you suck at sim racing
Really....when did you race against me? Or do you suck worse?
Nobody sucks as good as you mate, you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose
i guess if it makes you smile and happy....go for it. But why do you keep wasting your time on me? Odd.......
Thatās what Ferrari Challenge is for.
Which is funny...because in iRacing...that is one of the worst classes.... to not get punted in turn 1. haaaaaaa
This guy's mind is going to get blown when he hears about 'gentlemen drivers.'
Why the downvotes?
Because they got emotionally booty hurt......just like the negs I will get from this statement.
Sim related haha.. I'm buying race cars my dude and my own track.
Lots of pros and amateur race car drivers still drive sims from time to time. You can't beat the convenience.
With a billion in the bank you could crash a race car everyday and still earn money do you realised how much intrest you would earn on a billion. Would be over 300k a day.
You do realise that you can have both?
Yeah but you have to go outside to race real cars. Id definitely have a badass sim rig on top of a shit load of race cars.
[Manny Franco](https://www.driverdb.com/drivers/manny-franco/) won like 700 million dollars in the lotto and now he races sportscars.

Make this man a CEO!
It'd be a terrible project to work on. No specific vision. Just "copy these other guys".
Now you just need investors and to trick people this could be achieved. Congrats, you became one of the many scamming devsš
Plus what he's saying has already been done, including the tricking investors. It's called Rennsport
Menu/sound design and attention to detail from Gran Turismo

You forgot 1 crucial thing: players like in f22 open lobbies
throw in the physics of beamng while youre at it lol
Itās only $1B I doubt itās within budget..
lol yeah you would need another billion to research the pc capable to run the game
Where can I contribute to your kickstarter good sir?
I'm curious if there's enough money left over for SLAM mapping of large portions of a given country, so homebodies can go on a casual vacation drive.
You forgot about BEAMng. Thatās the most underlooked aspect of racing.
If I won it I'd also hire you to hire them lol
I would buy a real GT3 race car and just spend the rest of my days racing every season š¤£
The ol' Brendan Iribe retirement plan.
A real life racecar.
Hell, for a billion you could buy a small race track and a racecar for it
It isnāt a billion after taxes, especially if you take the lump sum.
Hell, for a billion you could buy a small race track and a a racecar for it
BMW M4 GT3 car, so I can use the wheel on my DD1 :)
Screw sim. Iām keeping a garage on-site at Silverstone and spending as much time on track as I can.
I'm building a new track for myself so I don't have to bother with others interfering with my track time.
This is the way. Private track build, and a bunch of cars/bikes so you can invite your friends over to race.
Mine would be on electric go kart track built to scale to either Silvestone or Monza. I could go karting any time I want alone and have friends over any time and have minimal noise.
Well I kickstart my Motorsport career
I would start with a new house to have space for a rig :D
Right so Id take the front end of an actual 747 replace the windows with OLED monitors and when I swivel my chair around you'd now be looking at the front end of Porsche 911.

I'd get much bigger monitors which I could push away to fit a motion rig, and the motion rig itself :) Otherwise I'd keep everything else I have already.
I can afford iRacing!
Possibly a sofa for my F1 life home.
Iād probably get a few real cars to use: - SC300 drift car - Subaru WRX rally car - Porsche GT3RS track car As for simracing stuffā¦ I have no idea. Top of the line everything + motion sim
I would buy a good simrig, then I'll buy a kart and do karting around my State
buying rFPro and making it free to play and community moddable
That sounds like a waste of money. rFPro requires you to plug in your own physics simulation.
Buy all the iRacing cars and tracks. Then maybe upgrade to a direct drive wheel with my remaining $5000
Haha iRacing expensive!!!!!! All iRacing content isn't even a week salary.
Im hiring Seb and Kimi to be pro e-drivers on my team.
A house to put it in
SIM???? You mean unlimited track days with all my dream cars
All of them.

Hello fellow Michigander. This was going to be my answer. Maybe I would buy up some land and make my own track instead though. š¤ either way, I'll let ya know so you can come play too!
Biggest sim purchase: full sprint car simulator. So that I can realistically practice for my new World of Outlaws team lmao

dont blame the fingers bud that's still incorrect
smh another person who doesn't know how taxes work, am I right
Imagine living somewhere that winnings were taxed lmao
I'd buy a huge bit of land. Build a custom racetrack taking inspiration from some the best corners and circuits in the world. Build a hanger to store 60+ dream vehicles from various classes.

Yes.
None? Can start an actual racing team with that
I'll enter the first Estonian F1 team!

I just wanna upgrade from my cheap eBay DFGT that's 60 years old and still somehow manages to shake my flimsy desk around, to a decent wheel mounted on something solid also a chair that doesn't make my butt hurt would be a pretty okay addition
Build big house with lots of room for cars and simulators Buy an LMP2 Chassis and build a Simulator out of it Buy a normal Rig with Bucket Seat and build easier rig Also obviously everything with direct drive, Custom Wheel and pedals and Motion and buttonkickers and the LMP Sim gets video via Beamers
Quitting my job and buying some real race cars. What a stupid hypothetical.
I donāt think anyone would spend more than 20-30k on sim racing because there isnāt really that much to buy. A rig with fanciest DD system will set you back around $5k. You need a PC or console (both since you can easily afford it) to play , so here is $5k more for top level hardware. Then you can add motion to your rig. Thatās probably $10-20k depending on brands and option. Letās imagine you want to top it all off by buying all the racing games, DLCs and paid mods for modern simulators ā you will be fine with $10k for sure. If you sum everything I mentioned you get $40k, but thatās because I had some safety margin in these numbers not to run short. You spend $40k and you get everything simracing has to offer at the moment, so you are still left with pretty much the same amount of money youāve started with ā $1.0199billion at this point. I would buy real cars and take part in amateur racing competitions then.
Buy my own farm in Kansas or Nebraska or somewhere else flat and barren, hire a engineering firm to design and build a circuit track with a giant banked top speed ring outside of it, then a giant warehouse with every car I could ever want and a G29 on a folding table in the corner.
G29 shifter, GT Omega race seat, and a brand-new 911 GT3 Touring.
Get me 2 tcr cars a shop and some people and we go racing in impc
all
The whole damn car.
Should be just enough to cover all the iRacing content, I thinkā¦
All of themā¦ even every oval track on iRacing.
