In Las Vegas, the RM Sotheby’s auction was as dazzling as the Formula 1 Grand Prix itself. James Corden, the celebrated host of his namesake late-night show and an award-winning actor, lent his charisma to the event. The cars, though limited to just 32, represented an immense collective value of $67,600,000, equivalent to $2,112,500 per car. A noteworthy aspect of this high-calibre auction was that 78% of the cars, each valued below $2.5 million, were offered without reserve, adding a thrilling unpredictability to the proceedings.
