But really you shouldn't be paying any driver more than 500k per annum in my opinion. |

The driver's ability behind the wheel is not the only criteria as to their worth. Their value to the team's sponsors would also be taken into account. Overall i personally don't care what they get as there a lot more people out there getting a hell of a lot more money for various jobs and careers, a fair few of them probably undeserving of their monies received.

Well for tax reasons the drivers should not have to report more then 50k per annum to the tax office
![]() compulsory creative tax evasion would make the series more interesting. |

In principle, I'm not in favour of Salary Caps, I think it smacks of Socialism, and that's a proven failure.

Salary cap is a ludicrous concept in V8Supercar when driver salary is a relatively small part of a teams budget, especially considering that in some cases the teams don't actually pay the drivers salary.
Do the teams really need $150,000 engines driving $400,000 cars that cost in the vicinity of $2,000,000 to run for a year? These are the numbers that need working on. |

None of the NZ V8 drivers get paid as such, and more importantly, the costs for running a two-car team are bordering unsustainable as the series is looking at $450-500,000 to field two cars.
The former premiere categories - The NZ 2-Litre Series and TraNZams - both fell over as costs approached $200,000 per car. There is a sad, yet historical, cycle of truth in it. Don't think that the NZ V8 Series is necessarily either strong or cost comparative to Supercars in any way, shape, or form. |

I was interested to read about McLaren F1 team and how they have $675m in debts, largely related to the Paragon gin palace they have built. Makes TWR's meagre $200m hole seem tiny by comparison......... |

not many posts in this thread have placed a figure in dollars as asked.
I think they should be tiered, by Championship results, with a max of AUD$700K |

Why salary cap the drivers, when drivers arent the problem for teams in regard to costs. To even be discussing this is insane

If I was the grunt who is repairing the $1m megastar's car for the3rd time on the same weekend... and I am paid <$40k per annum... the disparity would be something that must play on their minds.... The manufacturers have a big hand in this... their poaching and 'roaching is what's causing these mega salaries... As I said earlier, the most highly paid driver did not win the championship last year. Or the 2 years before that. |

Regulating how much a driver can and cant earn coming from eg. Avesco is insane. |
