yep but on purpose as doing it a la Curly

testing - just your trackday budget
insurance - if you bother
oil changes, bearingsm punctures, bushes - where my £2k originally come from
transport -trailer bought with car (capital cost)
pies - Curly takes sardine sandwiches
transponder = ok

A bit doped up to answer fully now but will post up complete breakdown tomorrow. There are a range of options which vary in cost obviously.

I have a 7.5t truck to cart the car round, but I'm looking for something with living quarters like this perhaps or maybe a 40ft trailer..

OK, racing budget, assuming you own your own car, per weekend:

1. Entry fees, £450
2. Tyres (one set per weekend but will last longer) £977
3. Fuel - £100
4. Consumeables (brake pads mainly) - £400
5. Personal expenses (food drink accomodation) £200

Optional:

1. Friday test day £235
2. Insurance £750 (for weekend, 10% excess)

We are offering two further options next year:

Full support:
1 x dedicated race tech
1 x dedicated data engineer
Full corporate hospitality, awning etc
Team manager, full management of your car from arrival to leaving including scrutineering and anything £1500 per weekend (including Friday test)

If we provide the car £2500 per weekend.

So onwing the car is cheapest but for £2500 per weekend you can rent one of ours with full support or we can support you and your car.

We are also selling one of our cars so we can prepare our E92, full modified class car, multiple race wins, PM me for details.
