Yup, that's where I'd assume most of the money comes from!

When you can't tell between the two, it's proof that people couldn't care less about open wheel racing in the US.

IRL = open wheel racing, mostly in the U.S.

F1 = open wheel racing, mostly in Europe.

There is another open wheel league, the CART aka Champs Car (US) but it is on the decline.

still pretty low, though

how much does the winner get?

Last year Buddy Rice got 1.7 million

I'm curious as to how much Dick Trickle got...

 

[JasonSix78]

I wonder how long it will be before Danica is in Maxim or Playboy?

As a side note, what did the other kids call him in school? How can you make that name worse?

I seriously doubt she will be in playboy for a while, if at all. Maxim maybe, but all these things will be a much bigger sell after she wins a few races.

 

[CTrain]

That figure is wrong.
She finished 4th in some race in Japan and collected $87,000.

omg the feminists will be on this like syrup on pancakes.

 

[0roo0roo]

she just has to be like kournikova...no wins, but earns millions from sponsorship

 

[dug777]

i'll give her some sausage for her dinner

 

[mAdD INDIAN]

Also remember that she only gets a percentage of hte winnings, her team gets most of the money.

 

[spacejamz]

Shucks, I only made $378,855

this includes a $25K rookie bonus...

Actually, the driver doesn't get sh!t for winning a race. There is no purse in F1.
