Bear in mind,you need an MSA licence,which I think for racing you need to go on an ARDS test,also the car will have to comply with the MSA regulations ,which includes the fireproof overalls and an approved helmet.~~ that said it is the cheapest formula to race in

plus entry fees per event.

We already have some racers on here with track cars. Pick the best one, get a team of mechs etc that willing to enjoy doing it and you will work out pretty cheap. (Don't forget fuel and tyre costs though).

Fancy being a sponsor stan :D

I'd be up for some sort of motorsport team, but I think logistically it would be too difficult.

I have been looking... i will read again, mite be fun.. some highly tuned 1.6's and compete in the stock class... see if they allow engine swaps... put a mk2 1.6 16v engine in a valver.

My old friend i used to sail with used to race in formula renault is now a race driving instructor.

The licence costs approx £1000 to get and he said thats if you do a week intensive course.

^^A go racing pack from the MSA is £50. I did a course to get my licence at Brands hatch and it cost me £270 (for one day). Then on top of that you need to pay for a medical. Then you need to pay for your actual licence, about £50. So to get your licence isn't too expensive. It's all the safety equipment you need which really costs!!

Would cost you 14k a year. plus if you want to be up there at the front you gotta spend ££££

good laugh but not cheep. there are blokes that do it spending £50k+.
