What the heck is worth $3,000 in that list ? Or do I see false adverti***t here ?

Speedgear was selling used Goodyear GP tires a couple years ago for $125 a shot. Throw in an extra $60 and you got a plexiglass cover for it to use as a coffee table. I wanted one really bad but my little woman informed me that this was a house not a junkyard... :(

You might want to add that it is for US residents only... ;) I didn't know the game was even released over there? --Tel

Hahah but seriously what is worth $3,000$ here ? 3000pesos maybe :-) Copy of the game, 50$ Racing tyre, what 2-300$ if it's fresh new for F1teams, not more than 100$ if old Hat, 20$ Shirt, 25$ Windbreaker, 75$ book, 40$ As I said, Im not surprised to see false advertising here, since it's Ubisoft (haha I know that's a troll comment) :-) -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -- NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -- SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -- Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -- May the Downforce be with you...

I could probably cut it into quarters and have racing tires for my Metro. Don McCorkle Libertarian Motorsports

Try buying a used F1 tyre from a team sometime. You might find it's harder and more expensive than you think. Ditto for a NEW tyre. -- Nathan Wong http://www.nectar.com.au/~alfacors Alfa Romeo - Super Touring - Club Cars http://fullspeed.to/astc Australian Super Touring Championship News and Information

There was a place last year at the Montreal F1 GP where you could buy used Formula 1 tyres from the Friday practice the Saturday, and Saturday qual/practice the Sunday (and other racing types also, FAtlantic, etc..). It's not something that is impossible to buy. Most of them are used as tables (you know, put the tyre on it's side and put a steel plate over to create a table), or a collection item. They were sold around 100$, depending on the team and driver. They were authentic and you had papers from the teams confirming them. As for new tyres, the book I read said that tyres can be bought for 2000$ THE set of 4, thus 500$ each. That's far from the false adverti***t by Ubisoft of 3,000$ in prizes.

Unless you live somewhere where they DONT sell the used tyres! :) Which book was that? I find that hard to believe unless Bridgestone subsidies the cost substantially. Racing slicks for normal racecars can cost that much, so surely a highly developed tyre such as a F1 tyre would cost a lot more. But I agree it with the other stuff is not $3000.......but if they said $500 hardly anyone would bother to enter the contest would they? ;) -- Nathan Wong http://www.nectar.com.au/~alfacors Alfa Romeo - Super Touring - Club Cars http://fullspeed.to/astc Australian Super Touring Championship News and Information

The illustrated book to F1 (nothing big, easy to read but they have a list of every equipment on a F1 car and how it costs). No idea if it was US$, or CAN$, still :) Exactly my point, but it's still false advertising from Ubisoft. I emailed them, no reply yet on that. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -- NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -- SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -- Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -- May the Downforce be with you...
