jesus lad your looking at 100 for fuel you"d want 6 new tires or 8 fairly new part worn and 120 for mondello for entry for the winter months,,,,, now you will get out cheaper than 450 to 500 but thats wat it usually costs me,,,,, in goldstone and other places it works out alot cheaper as entry is usually 50 notes and its not hard on tires or caseys drifters yard which is only 30 quid and tires depands on how you drive,,,,, or use cheap part worn tires and bring 10 to a track day and use a set every session pick these up for around 15euros each,,,,,, its shocking price for a days fun but worth every penny at the end of it all

Do you plan on having it a track only car? If so your gonna need to buy a jeep and trailer to tow it.

Have a read through this thread it might give you a better idea.

All depends on the car though and how much you want to spend.


You'd get away with cost of the entry fees (70-150) plus 50-60 euro of fuel would do alot of cars
Alot of cars may only use 2 set of tyres on some days but you would need to budget for 4 sets anyway.

You'd do a day at places like Tannery etc in a tramper with part-worns for less than a 100 euro including entry, fuel and cheap/free tyres but for places like Watergrasshill and Mondello, you would need to budget 250-500 depending on your car and level.

Thats not including getting to the track obviously so depending on if your trailering the car or driving it there, food and fuel for that will add to the cost too.



Its expensive but for a whole days fun, its still not bad really

Normal drift outing is 30 of super
100 on tyres 50 entry 5 on cable ties
To put bumpers back on lol drifting is
Only as expensive as you let it become

as above depends on track etc.
Cost me on average 500 for a day in mondello. More if i run out of petrol and tyres

[darren C]

my last day in watergrasshill cost me bout 350 anyway. all depends on the car you have in mind
