From a strictly financial point of view, you're not hard pressed to make a plausible case for renting, or even buying, a Fun Cup car. For just under $35,000 you can pick up a turn-key racer. The cost of entry for a few local races during the 2008 season wouldn't put your credit history, or your marriage, in jeopardy. It's certainly not chump-change, but it's not entirely prohibitive either, especially if you've got a few friends to spread out the cost. Engine rebuilds are normally done once a season, you can make it through several races on a single clutch and a couple of sets of tires should do you and your team well through a race or two.

This looks like fun. 35k for the car. In the youtube race they change out drivers. 3/4 people could have a set up with out a lot of cost to any one. Going to watch this see if it comes to the south.
