Saloon or single seater

**new_racer** · 10th November 2010, 01:19

Hello Everyone
I am a new racing driver and have recently passed my National B and hoping to start a season next year.
I would like to ask what are the differences between single seater and saloon car racing series especially in terms of budget.
For saloon car, I am looking at BMW Kumho championship. However, after having spent a year or two in this series, I would eventually want to move into some single seater championship.
Can someone give me rough comparison of cost of club car racing season (such as Kumho BMW series) with a single seater championship costing the least.

Thanks
Jabran Zahid

Congratulations and good luck!
However I would wager you yourself are in a better position to answer your question than most here

Although I am not a race driver, I think single seaters are more expensive,

The thing with single seaters is that teams often like those who started at a young age doing karting.

Becoming a touring car driver might be easier, but remember, professional race driving is not cheap, and often, its the people you know, rather than your talent that gets you somewhere...
