What do Top Rc Racers Earn
 

Hi all.

Just woundering. What do the top rc racers earn. If anything??

Not that i'll ever be that good. I'm just board in work hehe!!!

Ive heard some drivers earn 10's of thousands of pounds. BUT they will race every week and will be expected to be right at the top of the game where ever they go!

I will ask vinny LOL !!!!

Ben is right, just ask Vinny he is about as good as it gets.



Personally i hate these threads, very few people really know and they are not going to come on here and say i earn £xxx. It's all speculation.

Their weight in chocolate :thumbsup:

Or in Creme Eggs :cry:

I can only quote from Andy Moore at the 2007 worlds... he said he had a full time job within HPI/HB and works, occasionally, from a desk... when pressed further he said it was less than 30k... so, it doesn't sound that much does it? Mind you, all his travel and accomodation will be paid for... it's a hard life innit... but someones gotta do it!!!!

I get more than that... but then again I do 12hr shifts inc weekends in the same place every time...

Won't give up my 9-5 day job then - lol

Still can't afford a R32 MK5 at the mo (well I could, but I don't want finance!)

How much did you earn renting your ass out at the nationals last year Lee :p

Spontaneous abuse :thumbsup:

The answer though is less than you did modeling gimp masks :lol::lol:

:lol::lol::lol:


Reckon Lee is minted.. I hear a rumour he has a ferrari in his garage!!

I've got 2........they came free with £20's worth of fuel from the Shell garage :lol::lol::lol:

You can't beat rubber and an orange :o

Same here a 355 and an enzo:drool::woot: ryan, lee needs his snooker ball gag back ;):p

Suppose he'll want his rubber salami back too :lol:

He did ask. Oh and can you flick the corn of it this time:lol::lol::lol:

i'm not a fan of the Enzo, especially at £800k :confused:

i see the scouse bum boys are sticking together. bunch of inbreds lol :lol:

:o No!

Going down, Going down, Goin down :lol::lol::lol:

This is present though ryan, you and your shellsuit loving inbreds keep banging on about 2005 and before that it was the 80's

We admit we are shite, but we will still be there come august

R32 MkV? Get a MkIV! Much more hardcore and seems to be holding its value better too relatively speaking. Mind, they both sound sweet at full chat.

Not that quick though are they, give me a civic type r anyday, much more fun and 000's cheaper.

Oh and i dont mean the new shape they are a big disappointment.

What year though lee my little magpie friend ;)

'09 ish

Not this year :lol:

It's Alan Sugar you need, Lee......not Alan Shearer :lol:

You just wait till we get out of this 40 year slump :lol:

Its gonna be a long wait:p

Well yeah but hell, these days who can afford to drive fast. Never mind the speed, listen to the noise :). What about an Integra, that is a proper Type-R. I love forum threads, see how quickly we've turned it almost instantly from one topic to another :p.

Yes the integra is the daddy type r and the dc02 is the bollocks.

You will find that when kecky and stegger contribute the threads usually turn to praising scousers and homosexuals. I have nothing against homosexuals i might add :woot:

Dc02's are stupid prices, but they are worth every penny. I had a civic VTI for a few years, went to a mondeo and got a speeding ticket in the first week, go figure :lol:

There's an 11 year old DC2 Intergra on Pistonheads for £6000+, that IS crazy money but good luck to him if he gets it. The way my life works if I go out with that much cash to buy a DC02 I'd come back with a Dyson and 50p in change :(.

Back on the original subject of this thread :p Last year Ryan Cavalieri bought a Lexus IS-F..........

Starting at $56,760 US dollars
5.0-Liter V8
416 hp and 371 lb-ft torque
8-Speed Sport Direct-Shift
0-60 mph in 4.6 sec

I know he gets a base salary per year, travel for the races paid for, and they get bonuses depending on where they finish at certain races.

Now you know why these guys can get soo upset when something happens to them during a main event. It could cost them a grip of cash....I've heard that from first to second position could be a difference of $500 to a $1000 dollars :cry:

i heard hupos honigal is on 40k a year wish i was on that much can anyone sponser me:thumbsup:

Bump!

:lol::lol::lol: Who told you that V-mag, it's genius :thumbsup:

Get back in the cage v-mag, back, back, get back!!

oh its true its true thats hiw much he gets

I bet you laughed wen you realised you was on 5K more per year than Hupo Plus free bumpage

But it's old tech and I've got a Leon Cupra at the mo. Only reason I want to change my Cupra is I'm bored of it.

On the list
MKV R32
Audi S4 (04-06)
Audi S3 new shape
BMW M3 E46 - too common..

I hate Japanese cars

Reminds me I need to prod my boss to get me on callout to fund these things.. I would only consider pro RC Racing (not that I'm any good) if the earnings were into the 40% tax threshold. Also loose the chav tracksuit...

Cant beat the sound of the scooby, more so the older ones as the ones after 03/04 have lost that burble.

Vinny boss, you must get that and more, working 12 hours a day, 8 days a week.........

Some days I wish I was you......

G

Standard burble non of the bean can brigade..

Hence why I like V6s or V8s
