Definitely much cheaper than say the fiesta st championship or building a compedeitive car for the Scottish saloons , to hire a car over a weekend is 1200 including race entry fees , would go halves with my brother and share the driving and costs but would only do the odd weekend as we're both away with work a lot, might seem a lot , 10k for a race car that's only used occasionally but fuck I've got a 12+k sierra I hardly use so may as well spend it on something that gives me 100% more satisfaction than having an expensive cossie shaped garage ornament
