Re: Silverstone 24hr race


Karl,

Entrance fee is £2,400 or £100 / hour. Split that by 6 drivers and it's £400 each which is SUPERB value for money considering we pay around £180 for 16 odd mins in the Kumho's.

It's all the tyres, brakes, spares, fuel,mechanic costs etc etc that make it expensive but it's a MAJOR event that is televised and that alone means sponsorship emoticon

I'll give you 10% off the 1st pair of slicks but the other 8 will have to be at retail! Just been working some costs out, god it'll be expensive,I reckon if you do it cheap it'll cost around 12k without damage!

Re: Silverstone 24hr race


So really we are looking at £2000 each for about 4hrs racing (based on 6 people). Although it is a great opportunity I will give it a miss.

Ok, what about the 24hr 2 CV Race at Snetterton? They're not that slow either, they get up to 80 down Revett's you know emoticon

LOL, in all fairness the racing is quite good and the 24hr attracts big teams and celebs, sounds like a right giggleemoticon

It's really slow stuff, like watching a race in slow motion but it's dirt cheap emoticon
