Formula Renault is arguably the best race series.. the quality of the drivers that I saw race last year bore that out. Numbers / quality in depth, which many other series (and none in particular) can't muster.
Cheap motor sport does exist - go sprinting in a road car. Value for money is a different matter!
Racing is expensive.. bottom line appears to be £3k per season - so that's £5k of wages before tax. Plus the car to start with, say another £5k of wages before tax. Plus trailer.. plus tow car. So you need to have a serious wedge (or loan) to start off. Plus £5k of your salary that you're not using every year..
Take off mortgage and funds for beer, and even on my fair and reasonable salary, there's no way I can manage on my tod...
Now if I'd drunk less beer at college or student loans were banned - life would be a different matter.
