You would still be but rich enough to have your own private circuit to be built in New Zealand and your own trackday-toy to develop. David Dicker is so rich and just do it.

All from the twentieth dreams David Dicker a custom car to develop. Thanks to a fortune that he earned in IT, the 62-year-old Ozzie, who dream now of where to go. And not only that, but he has already a deposit taken by the beautiful New Zealand is already a private circuit from the ground stomping. Not in Australia, because this is according to Dicker too much hassle to supplies with local authorities. Striking, because it is Australia that is one of the most beautiful privécircuits in the world is home.

That circuit is 3 km long and situated just above the village of Waiau. On Google Maps is the gradient of the track is already to be seen, though it seems there is already a little nicer to lie. Close to the circuit, Dicker a complex later rise where he now autocollectie (Ferrari 458 Challenge, various Porsche’s and Lambo’s and a GP2 racer) cleans and maintains. In that hall, however, are also all the necessary tools to make itself a car to build. Think of 3D printers, industrial drilling machines, computer-controlled milling machines and machines for carbon manufacture.

Currently we are working on a single-seater. Faster than an F1 car, not straatlegaal and also not suitable for existing racing series, according to Dicker against the New Zealand Herald. The total car weight should be around the 600 pounds come true and to achieve that, the car will be, that F Zero is going to be called, is largely made of carbon are to be built. A chinese-produced monocoque is already in the ‘factory’ of Dicker to wait on reduction.

According to Dicker, it is not so difficult to have a car to build which is faster than an F1 car. “These things are now so constrained by regulations,” said the rich man. To make the project a bit of a break to hold, there must be at least 10 cars per year to be made, but Dicker hopes to have 30 to 40 copies per year. And that at a price of somewhere between 380.000 and 700,000 euro…
