Pads: $150 (probably high but whatever)
So that's $1,526 so far..
Gas: $384 (based on 8 fillups over the weekend)
So approx $1,910. And that's for a car fast enough to pass Cayman GT4s and andy 911 south of the GT2/GT3/Turbo.
Of that 950 is event fees and hotel, so less than $1k in total comsumables including fuel.
My old BRZ was cheaper, but with much less grippy tires. Add Cup2s or similar to the BRZ and I doubt my costs change that much. Fuel and pads will be the biggest differences probably.

And there we have it. Not the $450 an hour or even the $3000 an event numbers being randomly thrown around.
Not everybody that tracks is broke ass poor where they can not afford consumables.
