Hello All, With the 24hr race coming up I would be very interested to know what ball park figure would be required to secure a seat, I have one or two racing friends who are also interested in this and before we actively start knocking on doors so to speak it would be a good idea to have the funds sorted out.
Any pointers would appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Hi Ivan,
Race entry for the whole car is £3750 this year. So split that between 3/4 drivers. Fuel bills tend to range from about £600-800, might be a little more this year given current world events.
Plus tyres, prep time and catering.
There's not really a set price, each team will charge slightly differently depending on the drivers needs/requirements.
Hope that helps in some way?
Hi George,
Thank you for replying. I was hoping for some of the teams to offer an estimation, it is rather difficult to budget for an arrive and drive 24hrs race without knowing what the budget is. I do not want to waste any ones time by approaching them to discuss terms and then backing out almost imediately if the budget is beyond my means.
I would guess that engine rebuilds are also factored in as well as consumables and possibly catering?
