Because of that it's why I recommend people start with autoX. It's a great launching pad without lots of ware on the car. It's also way easier to benchmark personal progress.
I don't mean to overstep my bounds here, but do you mind compiling and posting a list of your consumables costs? This is more out of pure curiosity than anything.

I'll do the same for all of the consumables CSG has gone through via various BRZ/FRS that are loaned to us, as well as our own BRZ.


There may be a bit of bias here, as my progression went in this order:

Canyoning -> track days -> autocross
