The cost of doing a front running Rolex GT car in 2007 was $1.5M. Adjusted for inflation, that would be $1.72M or 1.5%. The cost of running a front running GTD car today is around $2.8M. So why is racing running at an inflation rate of 86%? Think about it. It doesn't cost 86% more to transport, feed and lodge crew than it did back in 2007. Where is the money going? GT3/GTD is the cheaper way to go racing because all you do is buy a car and never have to worry about developing it. It literally takes less talented people to run a GT3 car as opposed to running something that you either had to build yourself or rely on a small builder for help. In 2007 you still had lots of races and still had to go out west. We had to actually do it twice and had a 10 hour race at Miller. So, it's not like that today, there is many more races or the logistics are completely different.
Again, where's the money going?
