as with anything, the faster you want to go the more money you throw at it! the difference with gas is that you don't have to have top end gear to keep up and have fun!
I dissagree!
Initial cost is cheaper but at the end of a racing period cost is higher (1/10 ep, gp categories) if we compare expenses ofa guy with same dedication and who is after a championship.
You don;t have to have top end gear to keep up and have fun, it's up to you what and when you will buy it. It's the people that makes it expensive
ie there is a local guy that buys every 3 months new kit, this isn't the average
and you can't take him as an examle
We have to consider that this is a hobby!! Everyone has different amount of time and money to spend and his/her results will be according to them
