yeah it might depend on which team we are talking about. i just remember watching the SPEED channel and they were talking about the steering wheel of one team and they said it was ~$100k........probably Ferrari or McLaren
I saw that too, it was about the Acura LMPII (or LPM or something like that). They did mention that the steering wheel itself was ~$100k if I remember right.

I work at Homestead Speedway for the test&tunes and the big races. They teach us how to pull apart these cars clip by clip and where exactly to cut if i need to extricate a racer from the car. They stress big time DO NOT touch the steering wheel lol

and yeah there in the 28-35k range

12 BO = Boost (extra revs to overtake)
18 RPM = Max revs of the engine
Interesting. Didn't know there were any active systems like this in the cars. I'm going to have to do some reading.

You can add a few more for 2009 with the KERS system and adjustable wings.
