I found out that good ol Cameron did not race his main becuase he did not want too, it could been something else but nothing was said. From what I know about attending the world races is that you must qualify to race and not every one goes so their are open spots and if one is quick and lucky they may be able to race.

Hotels cost about 100USD a night.
NO WAY if cost you 15K to run unless you're big pimping.

I forgot to mention my 430 Spyder rental and pompinos every night.
Racing at the highest level of any motorsport is expensive, but it's not 15K. 4-6K is business class tickets, and even then expensive.

Business class ticket to Italy = $7000-$8000
One week of car rental = $400
One week of hotel room = $1500
5 Engines = $3000
2 Chassis = $1200
Spare Parts = $300
Eating, drinking and having a good time = $1000
Taking out the TQ car in the first corner = priceless

I never have found any decent info or write-ups on the racing this week. Photos and results are posted on http://www.messinaworlds.com/
Would have been nice to find some articles. Nothing on Sgrid or Serpent sites either. Guess Mike M. is having difficulties with internet over there.

It is VERY untypical to find nothing on Serpent's website or on mytsn. This usually only happes when they are having problems.
This time it looks like they found out why nobody likes Picco engines in onroad racing.

Where do you make your travel arrangments? www.screw-me.com?
7-8K even for a B-class ticket is very high and wo'd be flying to a hobby event on b-class anyways. That's where you use your Skymiles or equivalent!!
1.5K for a hotel room for one week? You think they'll let you take your car to the room to wrench on it at the Hilton?
And how the heck do you plan to spend 1K on fast food? j/k

I just checked www.opodo.de for a flight from Hamburg to LAX, leaving next Saturday, staying one week in LA.
Round trip prices are between 2,850 Euros up to 11,000 Euros.
Seems like there is still some saving potential when you choose sensibel.....
