05forever should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Numbers

Coming from Australia, I am interested to know the numbers $, pounds or whatever for a number of areas of european tin top racing.

Can anyone reply with realistic prices for team budgets, spectator entrance fees and the appearance fees that the series charge for BTCC, DTM, ETCC etc?

You could buy a factory backed ride for 500K USD in ETCC, assuming that you have the right experience. Your sponsor would be primary on the car at that price.

This info is from two teams now it the series.

To do your own private team would be in the 1m USD range, including car, spares etc.

Spectator entrance tickets for the BTCC tend to vary between the £20-£25 mark, although circuits run different offers all the time (I saw an offer today to get Sunday admission to the BTCC/F3/GT+support package at Donnington for £15).

DTM only visited Britian at Donnington this May, with a raceday ticket £20 advance, £25 on day, and those same prices apply to the ETCC meeting at Donnington this October.

I dunno much about prices elsewhere in Europe, but Italy tends to be the most Expensive, with Belgim/Holland being the cheapest.

What are V8 Supercar tickets priced at for a regular track meeting, and for a Street circuit?

Standard prices are AUS $25 for Sat and $35 (13/14 pound)for sun for general entry, grandstand seats for street circuits average around $120 but go up to around $350

Top spending team spends about $4.5 mill on 2 car team and lowest regular qualifier around $500,000 for 1 car average is around $1.8 mill per car.

i know that Paul O'niel hed to raise £500,000 in order to get his seat in the EGG:Sport car this season so i guess it costs even more than that to run a car in the BTCC Touring Class!

Nah add a bit onto that, I'm sure outcast can give us the correct figure to the last penny?
