Cost of racing?

"Whatever price you pay to buy (or build?) a racing vehicle (in any class), it will cost you the same again in order to run it competitively for a year "- Discuss

I have heard the above stated several times and it's certainly true of the couple of race classes I've been involved in. What do you guys find? By competitively I mean new tyres, engine rebuilds, bodywork replacement etc whenever necessary, and including paper work, licences, race entry's etc.

Cheers

£4000 a year all in for me. And I've been top 10 for the last 3 years. A bit more if you test regularly.
