As said before - very dependent on what you want to do!
Club Team (Mono, F4 etc)
You could be set up for as little as £30k to run yourself with a car and trailer, the basic tools you need and run it with friends
National Championships (Formula Renault, F3 National etc)
Expect to spend between £250,000 and £500,000 to set up a 2-3 car team. This is seldom considered when people think of the cost of a teams budget - they just think of running costs, not wages, overheads, a fair (but in motorsport small!) profit margin ect.
It goes up from there really - but it is seldom something people do! It normally starts from a number of people who are experianced with other teams/have the correct design knolage (that you need as you move up) who set up to run a driver.. The team then expands taking on more drivers before moving to the next championship.
Why do you ask?
