The standard reply is it is expensive. Being a CPA I was curious on exactly what is the cost for HPDE events My cost is based on 5 to 6 track weekends a year. Cost includes basic do it yourself self oil changes, pad and rotor replacements, and brake flush. First cost is depreciation assuming the vehicle is used at least 75%or more for track. I would estimate between $7,000 to $10,000. Then add track fees, track insurance, gas, hotel for one night and miscellaneous is approximately $1,000 to $1,300 per event. Repair cost tires, oil, etc. plus $2,500 contingency for auto repair and other parts Adding this all up and assuming 10 laps a session 8 sessions a weekend leaves a cost of approximately $40 to $50 per lap. I read somewhere that Indy cars cost $3,000 per lap so it is all relative. I assume that a GT3 cup car would easily cost $100 per lap.

The thing about going to a track event is that you spend whatever is cost and think , wow I wish I would have done that sooner, I have a 987.2 , now that I am a little faster with better tires and pads a 3 day event is about 1,500, when you are learning and not burning up tires an brakes 1,000 or less for a 2 day C or D group event. My last event cost $600 for 3 days for the track, Hotel $250, Gas 90 gallons, brake pads about 1/3 wear, tires 1/2 of a new set , and a some great meals with friends talking about how much fun we had, priceless.
