    I'm subscribed to a Motorsports Group on a professionals social networking site. Recently the topic of Rent-A-Ride came up where one can buy a seat for a race assuming you have both the cash and skills.

    For yucks....

    Grand Am: Homestead
    Pontiac GTO-R - 2 seats at $15K each
    Pontiac GXP-R - 2 seats at $22,500 each
    Porsche 997 - 2 seats at $20K each
    BMW M6, 1 seat at $25K (or $30K with test day and insurance)

    ALMS: Petit & Laguna
    LMP-1 Lola - $85K at Petit, $75K at Laguna
    GT-2 Corvette - 2 seats at $27,500 each, Petit or Laguna.

    FIA license is required.

    It's sad that more people are paid to play football than to race cars, it's a real dream killer.
