What abouts are you looking for? A flog around Calder Park on corporate type day, or a drive for HRT in the Konica series?

Hey Crash do you have real numbers for the cost of a season in Konica? If it is not asking too much, what about V8 Brutes and F3?

I had a proposal for Procar with a 911 around AUD$ 200.000.

You might want to talk to somebody like Mike Imrie. He has a Supercar and leases drives. He owns Saab-Wreck in Melb.

Well at the start of the season we were trying to raise $175,000 to get Wakefield a Konica drive with SBR, at what rate that was discounted at, I don't know. But I'd say that would have scored him the 5 championship rounds.

You could way more, or much much less than that for running costs... but then damage comes into it.

BRutes, depending on who you talk to $70,000ish for a car, but the killer is the entry fees, which really start to stack up. A fair few hundred dollars for each race meeting, but you are also slugged with registration fees etc. $12K entry for the BRutes support races at Bathurst? That really stacks up in a short amount of time... but then again, you are getting a decent amount back for your outlay.

F3- depends on who you talk to... Bronte Rundle came out not long ago saying it wasn't that much ($150K per season?), but I can't quite remember exact figures.

A guy called Rod Nelson also leases out Brutes and GTP cars.
Like Crash said it depends on what you are looking for.
