Default Getting into onroad racing

25 years ago I raced 1/10th scale off road RC cars. I mainly raced with an RC10, so I have some experience with RC racing.

Now I want to get back into RC racing, but on road racing this time. I'm considering either 1/10th scale touring car or 1/10th scale Formula One. This is based on visiting my local track in California and observing the drivers practice. It seems like for Touring car I would want a Yokomo or an Xray. It also seems like for Formula One Tamiya is my main option. Please let me know if I am wrong.

I have a few questions.

How much money should a decent setup cost for a Touring Car if I am starting from nothing?

I have the same question for Formula 1.

Also, which class of cars would be better to get into? Yes, I am aware that Formula 1 is more challenging to drive. Back in the day I was a pretty good driver : ) .

Also, what is a good car , remote control, battery, motor, servo, etc for someone who wants to start racing in the stock class.

Thanks in advance.
