Regards food for the weekend - how much would you spend at home during the weekend going out or-and on takeaways?
For me if I decide to take my road bike then my costs are even further reduced as my bike already would have Ohlins rear and Racetech front.
For me it would be fun only.
For TW it cost him £12k for last season on a minitwin.

Even hacking your budget to the bare minimum, we've still got over £4k |
Over £4K - right, but the biggest part of this is the bike purchase, so assuming you can get back close to what you paid - then you're looking at around £2.5K to race - that's a bit more like it!!!
