Re: Just finished my first endurance race in a 1g DSM!

Sounds like you guys are really close with your car, Paul! Bummer about the alternator of all the dorky things.

We're one of the cheaper WRL teams out there with our GP3 Tiburon at $600 a seat all-inclusive (including motel room, tires, race and hauler fuel), as we are trying to make it very accessible rather than outright competing at this stage of things. That being said, you are going to be substantially money ahead renting a seat for your first few races, even at 1k a race to see if you like it vs forking over the cost of developing a car for endurance.

If you have not done wheel to wheel racing before, Chump Car World Series probably makes the most sense as the series caters towards introducing new teams and drivers to endurance racing.
