I returned to 8th nats last year after a 3year break, 8th is cheep, once you have the car and engine etc sorted it's only realy fuel and tyres.Tyres are as costly as you want to make it, I run a tight budget and will use no more than 2 sets a meeting 1set if I can get away with it, I know my ability, I'm a mid field driver and it's realy not worth me using a set every time. one engine should last a season with ease ( depending on how much club racing you do between nats).

But in the end it depends on who you speek to, some may spend thousands,If you have great ability it may be worth it.
