I did my Ards at Oulton, as its my local track too - Think it cost £250 - and it looks like it still does: http://www.clubmsv.com/car-home/ards...FReX2Aod1mXEGQ - on top of your Go Racing pack at £65 and whatever your doctor charges you for a medical - normally £50 - £80 range.....

Then you'll need a racesuit, helmet, preferably boots, gloves and fireproof long johns and vest. So you'll be looking in the region of £1000 - £1500 to get started...plus a car, of course!

Hope we haven't put you off......as an long-time rallyman (started rallying in the mid 70s) I was a bit sniffy about the roundy-round stuff, but once I tried it......I was hooked!
