How much do race car drivers earn a year?

Answer 1

It ranges because of driver popularity, and amount of wins. For example, Jeff Gordon makes annualy over 5 million dollars just for racing not for sponsoring anything. Now, a driver like Kenny Wallace might be lucky if he breaks the 1 million dollar mark. In other series it works the same. In the IRL Danica Patrick gets paid more than most drivers even though she is winless, but she is the covergirl of the racing scene.

Answer 2

Jermey Clarkson mentioned in an interview with Jenson Button, that Button earns "£8 million pounds a year". This was while Button was'nt winning races and was considered an 'average' driver. Since then he has become a forerunner in Forumla 1, so I'm assuming better drivers earn in excess of £10-15 million.

Answer 3

This depends on several factors, how good the drivers are, the Sanctions their driving in, and what the owners and sponsors are willing to pay.

In Formula 1 top Championship drivers can make over $50.000,000.00 a year. (not including personal appearances and promotional things).

Answer 4

The more they win, the more money they make.

Answer 5

It depends on how well the driver finishes, team contracts, and sponser contracts. On average a full time driver can make between 2.5 million to 10 million. (May vary).
