Fair play indeed.

Its not the crazy if you think about it. Lots of older F1 kit will need a home. The smaller teams probably have no interest in keeping it.

Like that article says the hard bit will be the engine as these tend to go back to the manufacturer at the end of the season.

An F1 car is so light though that any reasonable engine would produce a seriously rapid car

True. Would be interested to know how much computer wizardry he needs to get the engine running. That maybe a plus to getting an (older) F3000 engine (or something of that kind).

he's gonna need a custom trailer if he intends to take it to a track as I can't see it rolling off an ordinary trailer without getting beached.
