V8 Drivers
How much would the average V8 Supercar driver earn per year racing? Is it there full-time job?

Welcome aboard jamesnj
Having a look at it, most of them are full time drivers, but a fair few would also have active rolls within the team. For instance the Valvoline Cummins boys and girl all work in his various dealerships while they aren't out on the track. Then there would be the next breakdown: Drivers who have a share in their team: Glenn Seton Paul Weel Steve Ellery Cam McLean Brad Jones John Faulkner Ashby/Reed Larry Perkins Paul Morris Mark Larkham Of course these guys would make money from racing through sponsorships, prize money etc Paid drivers: Craig Lowndes Paul Radisich Russell Ingall Todd Kelly John Bowe Marcos Ambrose Jason Bright Mark Skaife Tony Longhurst David Besnard They'd have contracts with their team where they get paid a wage, or there is some form of performance clause, or they get the prizemoney, or a combination of them. Then there would be guys like Rodney Fordes and Dugal McDougall who bring money to a team to buy a drive. How much they make? A fair bit i'd say |
