depends... for minardi now it would cost x$ and for Renault now it should cost about 10x ...
how much x is, i don't know....I'd say about some hundreds of thousands (??)...Still it's not warranteed that money will automatically translates into 1/10's of a second, it'd need time and talent...and maybe even luck...

cheers!

Can anyone put a true value on the likes of Nuvolari, Fangio, Clark, or Senna?

I wouldnt be able to figure it out but as the gap from front to back increases the value of 1/10 keeps getting less..........
