If I wanted to race...
Discussion
And thats before you consider all the 1 off costs that you have to have.
Helmet, race suit, gloves, nomex undies, bag to put it all in.
Lap timer
Tow car/trailer
Tools - you might think you have a full garage!!, petrol cans etc.
Club membership, license cost, championship membership if you have any.
Awning, camping gear
For the race weekend
Entry fees, testing fees,
Race petrol (even at pump prices adds up)
Accomodation, petrol for tow car
car consumeables (tyres, brakes pads/fluid, standard wear items, oil etc.)
What I found was that after a few races and looking around the paddock, you starting thinking life would be easier if you had this or that widget.....before you know it you look like a mini race team!!!
Dont underestimate the cost esp setting up. And leave money spare for crash repairs.
