Now we sorta know how much it costs to run an F1 car
Well, at least a backmarker car.
Apparently, Giorgio Mondini was never in contention for the HRT seat, and instead bought his 30-odd laps for approximately $210,000.
That's about $6500 per lap.
(Just for fun, I calculated how much it cost to run my Sodi-Rotax at my local 1/4 mile kart track, which takes 23-24 seconds: $110 per hour, or around $.78 per lap.) :

Don't worry, I'm sure HRT made a hefty profit on that figure they recieved
Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.
Croatia is nice in TV, but for the fans it isnt so great. Waking up at 2:30 to watch just 2 passes of SS9, cuz there is just NO entrance to the stage
