To be honest, it’s much more. Already painting an helmet is your expected equipment coverage. Traveling will be 10k +, especially because you won’t travel alone if you are 14-15 years old. Then also besides races you ‘test’ almost every weekend because you need practice.+ damages
How mental is it that to race in a European Karting weekend you have to fork out €15k if you want to be with a competitive team.
If you did all the high-level international events (WSK, European & World Championship) you could spend close to 200,000€ in one year
Mental
To break it down:
Eur. Championship (4x): 60k total
World Championship: 20k
WSK (10 events): 100k total
Travel + accommodation: 5k total
Equipment (suit, helmet etc): 1k total
That equals out at approximately 186k
There absolutely needs to be more support from the higher levels
