New Champ Car significantly cheaper than Lola

Did you know that a new Champ Car rolling chassis costs a team just $221,725? A Lola, with the British Pound being so strong compared to the American Dollar, would have been well over $300,000 apiece.

The $221K does not include the engine (incl. turbo and all accessories), flywheel and clutch, gearbox, dampers and springs, instrumentation, data acquisition hardware and sensors, and tires.
