I have converted a F3 Reynard to mono spec. Ie taken out the very expensive F3 race engine and fitted it with a standard road engine from a 1996 VW Golf!
This has more bhp than an ARP 8v Vw engine too.
The running costs are very similar to that of my FF1600. Brake linings are more expensive than an FF for example but the whole package requires less maintenance than my 642 Lola!
ARP run on special fuel, control tires etc. This bumps up the cost some what. But speaking to one or two competators in ARP they can run a class B car for the weekend on about £500. That is doing all work, engine rebuilds etc your self.Entry fees are more, i believe around the £265 mark.... i think, but you do get good track time.
To buy a class B car you are looking at at least £8000 to £10000+ for a good car.
