Some idea for cheaper racing

>>15416274
What kind of costs were you thinking (for drivers)? I reckon it will just be too expensive to be viable.

Safety rating is fine in online games but you can't just put a bunch of complete shitters together in a real race without some expensive repair bills

i would pay like 1200 a year for like the chance to do that 5 or 6 times and i would make a day out of it

This idea is so bad it made my head hurt. Who is it supposed to be good for?

So would anyone else, but you can't even race a kart that you own for that little.

I would pay that much, but it should be much cheaper.

$1200 wouldn't even cover gas and tires for 6 races. Who is eating all the costs here, is OP going to find a wizard that can summon car parts from the great void? You are taking something that normally costs a driver $20-30k a year minimum to do, adding a bunch of administrative costs, and expect the cost for a driver to go DOWN?

Insurance/ liability. This kills the idea. If you have random redneck babyboomers out there racing powerful cars, no matter what rules or safety measures the track owners put into place, there will always be a high risk of catastrophic injury and inevitably the owner will be sued by some ambulance chaser type for ludicrous sums of money and will be sucking dick for crack on the streets within a month.

Giving the drivers a rating system, or offering training would only increase the owner's liability. "So Mr. Stubbledick was rated a 5-star amateur driver, the best and most experienced classification by YOUR standards and he completed YOUR training courses, paid a good sum of money and yet he lost control in YOUR car, on YOUR track and now he lives in constant pain, emotional and physically hurts all the time."

It'll never happen.

Fixed and variable costs.

Tires and gas costs add by each km ran, but the CNC used to build parts won't break because you made more parts.

Machinery costs, as well as other expensive stuff (like the car prices itself) go down the more things you sell using them, because there is more people to divide the costs.

I never said it was going to be super cheap like $1000, but cheaper than professional racing.

Liability is always placed in the client's account.

The owner does a insurance, and puts the insurance cost into the price.

Sorry op, these are the correct answers. Some tracks do run their own series, but they are very few and far between. In oval short track racing you occasionally see track specific classes.

Unfortunately your best bet is to organize a site that helps people find lemons and chump rides, 1200 will usually get you a race and a couple days of practice.

Karting tracks barely stay afloat. Real cars would make the problem so much worse. OP thinks money grows on trees and wants to race for free.

nah
the best you can try to do is organized touge
