Every launch is about up to 1 sec, then every 1-3rd gear corner with good grip, another sec or so. In total it should be min a sec/km. Still, Martins has done massive promotion to WRC, M-Sport and R1- cars.
I guess it might depend how much the car costs without the hybrid? Surely still a lot. Even a set of bumpers for a WRC car cost tens of thousands of euros
