Depends what megabucks means.

Probably cost me 20k plus to get it to the standard and reliability it is. But spread over 6 years or so its not that bad..
Tigers suspension is limited in adjustability and it weighs a bloody ton so thinkingbof transferimg the engine and quaife box across to something lighter and more adjustable for track.. Watch this space .. 8-)

Having an lsd doesnt determine if youve spent megabucks scotty come on...
Depends which class ypur racing in mate. The class you race in depends on the depth of your pocket and thats still a choice. Standard Road going series for instance is full of clio and honda....which can be picked up a couple of grand. There are lots of people at these events that spend mega bucks...but you dont have to.
I had this converstaion with my old man not long ago... He said this is full of people with too much money.... So i introduced him to 4 guys who had spent around 2-5k on a car each and were sleeping in 1 man tents on the track.
Hill climb and sprint is as expensive as you want it to be.. The bare minimum is the cost of personal safety equipment and a car you can throw around on track such as a standard clio or honda.
I didnt spend 20k solely for racing... 2 years ago i never wanted to race, my car was built to be reliable everytime i drove it with a decent level of fast road tuning suitable for how i like to drive.
Racing just cropped up... :lol:
But that was inevitable after umpteen trips to the alps whsre i loved wragging the car :lol:

..which seems a shame
