Don't know. It's a budget car series, so it's definitely the cheapest way to try out racing. We have an E21 that we can build, can buy a prepped car for $4-6k, or rent something for whatever the cost. One of the drivers has access to a SM that is used in WRL, but we don't know if we can use that car for chump (or if it's even legal). Cost will be split between 4-6 drivers. Will likely be 5-6.
Spare parts and consumables will have to be worked out as we don't know cost yet. If car + consumables + spare parts is, say, $10k, that would cost $2,000/driver with 5 drivers. $320/driver for entry, assuming entry cost next year is the same as it was this year. $50/driver for chumpcar license. Gear would cost me $700-1,000 if I buy new, those who don't have HANS and/or helmet will have to add at least $600 to that.
All in, I would spend around $3,400 if we buy a prepped car.
Or I can join a team and pay $1500-2000..
Or around $1,000 if I join a team and rent racing suit
A Team Track Junkies could also be fun. Hmm
