I agree with a lot that john says. it maybe harsh, but you have to do what you can afford.

Johns figure of 20k is very correct if you add everything up. as my Spend this year will be near 12k at just clubby stuff. i will break it down. this is just off the top of my head on typical cost.

Chassis - Kosmic - �2500-�2800
Tires - Slick - �1600
Tires - Wets - �320
Entrys - rye - �480 (just race days)
Entrys - other - �480 (average of rye then 1 other race)
Practice - Rye - �600 (if you add in extra days)
Practice - other - �480
Engine - rebuild - �1200 (includes top ends and 1 full build)
Pod stickers x2 - �160
nose cone- - �40
Data equipment - �650
Travel fuel - �280
kart fuel - �280
Accomidation - �600
new boots - �50
helmet paint - �300
Axle - �110
new rims - �200
broken rim - �100
training - �150
trailior tyres - �150

Tkm festival cost me around �650 just for that one event! and i haven't added this on.

See it soon adds up. when you start racing more than 1 time a month.

Mine is at �11,600 and iv missed out Food, Drink. all the little bits you buy.
plus iv been lucky on damage.

So if i needed to do S1 my fuel goes up. and ill have a new chassis half way through the year too.
more damage
more training
more tires

So yes �20K is a good shout.
