There is simply no class that money is not a factor, karting the greta leveller in strict regulation is a prime example. You can run a Formula Vee for less that what some karters spend, it is simply cheque book racing with fathers racing through their sons.

So let's get back to it, reducing costs in SC, give me a hard figure that it should cost to race in the series because no matter what that figure is someone somewhere will have a different one.
The starting point might be what a sponsor would pay to have naming rights on a single car running at the front of the field for the entire season.
