The only differences between the super cup and "regular" models as far as I know are the ceramic brakes and the muffler delete. The FIA gt3 class is a lot different. They are using the cup S for that series.

do you mean the Cup S cars? Super Cup cars are essentially standard Cup cars with PCCB. Cup S cars on the other hand are what people run on FIA GT3 events and have considerable upgrades over the Cup car.

Let's see. At the Miller IMSA race my tire bill was $9800. I'm sure gas was close to $1k. Insurance $4500. Entry fee was around $3k I think. $8k in repairs for the normal IMSA bump and grind. I won't discuss support fees but it's fair to assume that they will be at least two times what you are paying for a PCA event.

It might not be as much as a PCA season but it's a hefty bill for a weekend of fun.
The racing is great though. I wish I had the time and the money to do more of it.

I guess it's worth it to those who do it.... I have a good friend who's doing it and doing well. Sure it's expensive but if you are interested in taking your driving/race craft to another level, it's pretty damn good racing.

+1. Something out there for everyone. I ran a DE a few weeks ago, and some of the "old guard" guys thought I was nuts to throw thousands at a spec miata weekend. To each their own, but I'm either going to stay home or do it right. You get what you pay for, in most cases.
