From talking to people I know who have done it it generally costs about $10,000 to race in your own car and dont bend it but the time you pay for entrance fees, spare parts used, gas, accomodation etc. Thats in an average sorta car like that escort

So to my mind hes asking abit much, but I suppose if youve got the money its a really easy way to enter

Does seem a bit steep - interesting idea though

I certainly wouldn't pay that much ... i would seriously consider it if it's around the 10,000 mark tho ..

It's a Ford.

Buy an import VTEC Integra or whatever and race it with a cage. You'll have more fun and it will be cheaper than $39k.

Do the Narva tour instead?

Been there and done that.

His costs are way over the top.

To do the targa last year our total cost was more like $15000, to $18000.

Entry fee is at the worst cost, it gets more the later you enter, about $3800.

6 tyres at about $350 each, Motels for the 4 of us, 2 driving and 2 crew and you NEED the crew, $1800. Gas for both car and service crew about $1500. Food for 4 about $1500. Then there is the spares and servicing the car before you go and supplies and parts that you may never need but still need to take with you in case.

We put new brakes in before the event and take another new set for example and that about $500. a set each time.

$39000 for that you can build and race it for the season and repair it aas well.

He did not say what it would cost if you bend it!!
