It was never in doubt.


Is he nailed on to win it next year then?

Isn't it usually the opposite? Cars depreciate in value, the second you drive them away?

Normal cars that are mass-produced, yeah.

But plenty of supercars and high-end stuff can end up worth more second hand due to low supply and high demand. Porsche are notorious for it at the minute. Most deals are invitation only (from a dealer to a good customer), so whoever gets hold of a limited-run GT3 RS for example is potentially sitting on profit.

Because of this, the relationship between supercar dealers and the stupidly wealthy / profiteers has become insular. It’s known as ‘flipping’ - acquiring something desirable for the sole purpose of immediately selling for a profit.

The market in general for that sort of thing has become ridiculous over the last few years. 1980s Sierra Cosworths for 200k, 90s Nissan Skylines for double that. Pretty sure there’s a slightly shady element to the whole thing.

Not everyone that buys a supercar has that agenda, but that’s the economy of it.

I watched the final session of Luca v Selby again today. Still can't believe Luca won it, I get tears in my eyes every time I see him lift that trophy. What a performance. What a player. Come on Luca! :D :win:
