Good day. I would like to get informed about the amateur racing culture, especially in United Kingdom. As far as i know, if you love racing you should buy a car for 1000£-2000£, modify it and race. I think it is expensive and i search for solutions to enable non-rich people to race on weekends with their friends(paying 30-50 GBP per 1 hour set by hiring a vehicle).As you probably understood, i am going to challenge current racing structure. After some computations i have found out that monthly costs for such business will be more than 200 000 GBP excluding track hire. And it is interesting to note that 90% of costs come from fuel,tire and braking consumption. Than is why, in order to reduce costs, in order to keep the racing spirit and fun on the same level and in order to enable people to pay less amount of money for racing, it is needed to find some technical solutions . For example:
1.using double size go-karts
2. using Jedi
3. using MX5 despite the fact that it is a saloon car and it is costly
4. building an own vehicle with reduced weight,rpm and bhp
5. using an electric drive that will totally reduce fuel costs
6. Using inside and outside roll cages that will reduce damage and thus,costs.
Please provide some more technical and maybe business solutions about my idea. Thank you very much.
P.S I kindly ask you not to write about possible business drawbacks that i would face(financial,marketing,demand,track hire,etc). Because if there is no product(vehicle), there is no business. Thank you very much.
