I'd say around 100€ for a trouble-free top notch w-end.
What is killing my pocket is all the money I must spend to get to the race and sleep there. Unfortunately no races around here, I must travel a lot.
The best choice I did is to make my own fuel. I can really save a lot of money. I come from off road racing, where is easy to get 10 minutes from a tank. Approaching on road racing doubled the cost of fuel, since a tank lasts 5 mins.
Of course my own fuel doesn't have the performance of the best fuels you can buy, nevertheless is more than enough for a pan car, cause you approach the throttle very easy, and you don't need to maximize the sharpness of the engine.

We get a gallon of Byrons fuel or VP fuel for under $20 here.
