Taking into consideration these wear and tear items:
  • Tires
  • Brake pads
  • Engine Oil change
  • Diff Oil change
  • DCT Oil change
  • Fuel
  • Plugs

I’m building a worksheet to normalize at a cost per hour based on some loose recommended service or life intervals.

If anyone has any feedback or a starting point I’d love to see it.
We keep track of all of this. It changes exponentially with pace so not at all one size fits all.

Assuming you get a car for free, and all the mods/install labor are free, street insurance, registration etc and parking is free, and all maintenance to the car and part failures are also free, and you drive the car to the track, it is around $1.5k/h.
That's for: fuel, tires, track insurance, entry fees, hotel, food, brakes
