just wondering. around the time i finish my phd, i'd like to get my race liscence and run a form-v car. competitive cars look to be in the $8-12k range, and it would seem that running costs are relatively low. in other words, a logical place to spend a couple years honing skills before moving onto bigger and badder things.
just looking for any experience, running costs, anecdotes, advice, etc. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) n |

Been forever since I was at an SCCA event, but aren't the spec racers still around? They used to have renault engines, but I thought they switched them to escort engines??? I thought those were fairly inexspensive to run once you got past the initial cost of the car. Not nearly the R&D you would have for a Vee engine.
