Including consumables?
That said, that's absurdly inexpensive compared to anything down here. I did VIR a couple of weeks ago at a practical steal for $365 for two days (IIRC)

For the competitive side, I actually do 2 types of events only, 1 is a time trial, and its very very competitive. Second one is a lapping day where we do something called "gentleman racing". Advanced group gets to do actual racing, no prices tho and no rules so cars are usually so different that the race lasts 2 to 3 laps, and then its more like lapping again. Im lucky here that most of the people who time trial in my class also go there, so we get a whole 20mins of tight racing on every single one of those (2 per event). Karting, I live 20 minutes away from the place with the fastests indoor karts in all of Canada, and I can do around 1hr of karting for around 70CAD. I guess all in all im very lucky to live here, and for me, in my situation, iracing just doesnt make much sense when I could spend time and money on doing the real thing. |

I think what @DocWalt is getting at, is that he's looking at the *total* cost of a track day, inclusive of consumables and wear and tear, rather than just entry fees and fuel.

Sometimes, it's better to just not know the real cost. |

In that case, consumables were $4.

Japan does things a bit differently. Depending on the track, you usually pay a yearly fee, ranging from $200-400. Then there is open track days scattered throughout the month and you pay $30-60 for a 30-40 minute session. How would you guys say this compares to the states when you break it down to time/cost?

Here in Canada, my closest track has full day open lapping for 160 bucks.
