The current British Formula 3 car is a Dallara F312 - F3 | The Car (http://www.formula3.co/about/the-car)

The cost to run a competitive British F3 season is about £400,000.

Dallara also make the GP 2 car. Figure GP 2 cost to be about £10 - £20 million per 2 car team per season

F1 costs depend on the team. Each team designs and builds their own car. Top teams spend £200 - £300 million or so per season.

They only take the Platinum Visa.

In racing, they say the way to make a small fortune is to start with a big fortune.

A competitve national kart season would be relatively inexpensive with a cost of something like £35,000 or so.

Used karts will run from about £1000 to £7000 or so depending on the class the kart would run in, how old the kart chassis is, what spare parts are included, etc.

A set of tires for a kart are about £200 a set, and a set will remain generally competitive for about 40 km.
Engine refresh needs to be done about every 10 hours or so of run time. Figure an engine refresh will cost £400 and up.
Kart seats are a consumable item requiring frequent replacement at about £200 each.
