£8000 euro's for all the entry fee's including testing and look at the circuits and the profile of the meetings.
Prize money for 1 race £2000 euro's with money paid up to P10
So if your good enough prize money can fund your racing ,
One of our freinds did a test at Magny Cours he was impressed with the organisation and support will wait and see if we run some cars next year.

That looks like £70 OR £80 grand - before hotels, travelling etc.

FPA would be better value. (Good events too WTCC, DTM, A1GP, Spa etc)

What's your affiliation with the series? You keep posting plugging it?

Not what it may seem :-

Car purchase € 53,000*
Running € 70,000*
Entries € 8,000*

€ 131,000

say £ 80,000 STERLING

Plus Hotels, Travelling min £ 20,000

Plus team profit margin min £ 9,000

TOTAL £109,000

Plus insurance, plus spares etc

€2,000 prize money per event will not make an enormous dent in that even if you win every time and the car is lease purchased to defray the costs (and you would have to rely on there being more than one season which there may not be)

Also don’t expect this to be a short weekend - Qualifying Friday crack of sparrows, race 1 Saturday race sometime inconvenient, race 2 Sunday 6 pm – the reality of being a support series – so realistically it’s Thursday to Sunday or even Monday for Monza. Min 3 nights in hotels per event per person.

5 nice events plus 3 French club meetings
