B2KS is absolutely correct about operating costs for a Porsche that is tracked a lot. Here are my cum totals for 40 track days:
Car purchase price: $10K
Track Upgrades: $5000 suspension, $2,500 racing seats/harnesses, $500 roll bar extension
Repairs: Clutch/LWFW $3,400, starter $600
Preventative parts replacement: $3,200 rear wheel bearings, CV joints, spider gear.
Safety equipment: Helmet $500, gloves $150, shoes $250, firesuit $1,400, $800 HANS, $400 Cool shirt
Expendables: $1,600 brake pads/rotors,$1,000 oil changes, $5,000 tires, $2,000 other general maintenance
Most of the work I do myself.
