There's a big ecomomy of scale. A quick 'back of an envelope' calculation, bearing in mind that you've got to have qualifying time, would mean a whole day's track and infrastructure cost. I reckon you could do it for an entry fee of comfortably less than £2k.....probably nearer £1.5k but much would depend on entry numbers....I'm assuming between 30 and 40.
