Bella, What is an equivalent car?
As a dad who was doing this 40 years ago I can give examples but only at National or local level, in early to mid 80s I built a FF1600 from second hand spares for about £3k and we ran it locally out of my income as a rep with about £1k of outside financial help, the driver was still at school and mates helped with set-up and technical stuff.
A couple of years later with a new car in the National Championships still towed behind my company car we spent perhaps £10k. The following year in a factory car, (again FF1600) from a rival firm they asked for £5k contribution but paid the rest, it cost us travel, hotels etc.
What is the escalator to put that in today's money?
After the first year in a new car we would have had to find circa £125k to go F3 if i remember correctly but there were teams with "opportunities"
