Currently I'm the limiting factor not my cars, as there's been situations at nationals where I've put some new rubber on and made a small mistake costing a couple of seconds which negated the point of putting new tires on.
Throughout the year I might use £20's worth of shock seals and (with the Checkpoint's anyway) a couple of pairs of brushes per car and thats it. Excluding nationals the biggest expense for me is usually booking in fee's
Richard my sonm you have just convinced me off road is the future, i probably spend more on two days racing in on road touring cars than you have all series.

cheers boys
