British: F.ford zetec £75-120k F.BMW £150k F.Renault £125-175k F3 National £250k F3 Championship £350-500k Renault World series £300k GP2 £900k F1 from £5 million upwards French German Italian Spanish Also, does anyone know the generally accepted route to the top in America? What is the deal with A1GP and funding? anyone know? |

Do you mean how much can you get a seat for, how much you can get a seat in a winning team or how much it costs? Also do you mean how much for doing a season of racing or the racing plus lots of testing to be able to win?

Costs
Basic cost for a race seat. I know testing is limitless moneywise (if the series allows it) some series have allocated test days or limited test days.
Cheers. |

carbon fibre tubs
....a new tub every 2 races, i thik every round was a double header, so you sayin' they had a new tub every meeting??!?!?! seems a bit extreme doesn't it, as Russfled has said, the tub wouldn't wear at such a fast rate!
new set of tyres every 2 races is more believable.... |

The tub gets a crack around the bottom after a couple of race weekends and to do it right you have new tyres everytime the car sets off
For doing the season in a top team your prices are about right |

How much is it to do one off race weekends with 2 races in FF Zetec? Do you have to pay the championship registration fee to do just one round or has the 'guest driver' thing changed things?

entry costs
in club racing, ff1600, to do a one off race you have to join the organising club eg Brscc (£145), pay the entry fee (approx £200) for the race, register for the championship (£50), some teams do car rental for about £700 a race, plus a damage deposit. if you want to do a friday test if available that will cost about £200 for the track hire, and maybe £700-£1000 to the team to run you for the test....so in total about 2500 all in with a test.....not cheap and that's just club racing.
Nationall FF Zetec, i'm guessing a double header race weekend on an arrive and drive arrangement with a team would cost about 1.5 or 2 times the club racing costs, but not sure about the championship registration and if guest drives mean not paying the full amount. I think the full reg fee is around £8000, and about £15,000 for Formula REnault on the TOCA tour. If anyone knows more about costs, please continue thread. |

Doing cheapy cheap racing can cost as little as a couple of k for a race weekend with testing and tyres. But its not how to become a racing driver.

club racing is the only option for most people to be involved in motorsport as a driver.

A while ago a spanish f3 insider mentioned a minimum budget of 250.000 euro for a year spanish F3. German F3 (so no euro f3) is at the same level.
Imo best junior serie in the US is the atlantics, budget +- 500.000-600.000 euro if i'm not mistaken. |

Or you could do MSV FF1600 in 2006 for between £3000 - £5000 running yourself or £14,000 to £20,000 with a top team

I think you're way off the mark for World Series By Renault. I hear the numbers are midway between F3 and GP2 |
