Lola should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
How about single seaters.
Monoposto have classes to suit all.
I started racing a ff1600 in mono on second hand tires to keep costs down. I bought second hand vauxhall lotus tires for £20 a set and they lasted an entire season. Old formula vauxhall junior cars can be found for 3-4£k running. They are cheap to mantain and relativily simple. Buy a ff1600. If you buy the right car for the right money you will not lose when you come to sell ( if its in one piece.) A ff which is nearing the age to become classic is an investment.
I started racing on a budget of £2k a year. That includes entries etc but you have to be prepared to do all the work your self unless you can rally together some mates to help with engines and repairs.
As for sponsorship I have some this year for the first time but i still spend as much as i did. You will allways spend it if its there.
