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!

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.

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...

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.
