Amortize cost over 3 years:

tranny rebuilds
Then there is:
Insurance for car
Depreciation on car
Opportunity cost of car + money spent on hobby
Depreciation on tow vehicle, wear & tear on tow vehicle, etc...

Then again, if we were practical people we would drive Hondas and Toyotas

Well if you sell it BEFORE you have to fix it, I figured out that I cost me around $20 per lap in the GT3, on average.

Wow you are setting yourself up for a few laughs at your expense on this one....
"....yeah, $20 per lap, and at the rate he drives his whole weekend wasn't but $300 "
I think this is about right for me also, $20 per lap.

Don't run on the cheap if you don't have to. I am bored out of my mind with the car in hand.

Calulating the coats per Lap!! Too deep for me, if I ever did that ...
Wonder what impact weather and down time for repairs at the track would do to the cost. What about the increase in fuel cost ........
We all need to get to the track and burn some money..I mean fuel.. I mean money!
