Anything short oval based would surely be the cheapest, if you don't mind only turning one way. Yearly license at something like £50-70 then either free to race or minimal cost (£15 or so). Not for everyone though.

Closest you get in the UK are :

360mrc (the most clubby endure)
2cv 24hr,
Irish fiesta endurance. (this is awesome)
750's endurances.

I wish a chumpcar'esque race would run over here but the MSA and Circuit owners are a tightknit group and it wouldn't stand a chance.

The rejuvenation of grassroots motorsport over in America (and the knock on effect into WRL, SCCA, NSA etc of drivers + capable mechanics) should be inspiration enough to the MSA.

It's a lot easier for Autograss/Lawnmowers/ScooterEndurances and even karting to innovate and grow purely because it can operate outside the MSA.

To put it into context.

I would be able to fly to the states + travel to the circuit, do the raceschool in the morning, rent equipment and drive for a team in a 12hr Chumpcar race and get home for less than renting a seat in a 6hr Funcup Race (and Funcup's the best bang for buck long enduro's we have)
The fact that there isn't a single overbearing governing authority probably helps a lot. But you're completely correct.

Jonathan Palmers Motor Sport Vision (MSV) company has now bought a controlling / lease interest in a circuit in Laon France and is due to open in 2018.
With over 1200acres, the new site could offer potential, especially if restrictions are less stringent?

quote..MSV France, intends to convert the land into several circuits housed within the main track, to be used for rallying, 4x4 courses, driver training and drag racing. A 1000-metre oval will also play host to oval racing.
