Amateur racing culture

[MrJan]

As a form of motorsport. You could compete in Motorkhana, Khanacross, Autocross, Super Sprints, in a regular standard car. I don't know if they have a different name for those disciplines in the UK.

Autocross would be what we'd call sprinting (autocross is another sport that is run on loose surfaces, usually in a field). I do sprinting and hillclimbing and you can basically turn up in a road car (and many people do drive their everyday car) or an all out racer (and anything in between). It's all for fun and I know people that have done it in a diesel VW Lupo (not sure if they're called that outside the UK). An even cheaper way to compete is to enter an autotest or autosolo, small nimble cars are even better here (and in the case of an autosolo the car MUST best roadgoing and driven to the venue).

I have an entrepreneurial idea on creating a company that will provide cars for racing and i think that racing demand for rental cars will be much more higher that for your usage of your own car, especially because you dont want to damage it. I thought that monthly costs would prevail 250 000 GBP per month with 20 cars,racing 8 hours a day. And it makes impossible to provide cars per hour just for 20 GBP. I search for solutions now. Please provide some financial,marketing,technical information about my idea. If you have any solutions i will be glad to hear.

Car hire does already exist in the UK (a lot of people enter rallies using hired vehicles) but the cost of preparing an all out race car means that you're going to pay far more than £20 an hour. Also you can pretty much rely on people only hiring cars for a weekend (and for a limited number of weekends in a year), so for easily 250 days of the year the car is sat in storage not earning anything.

Costs are simply way more than you've stated. This is a link to the options for the VW Fun Cup (which does also include support) http://www.funcup.co.uk/get-on-track...ive-and-drive/

You'll find that there are plenty of options already on arrive and drive, from a Ford Fiesta or Pug 205, up to Aston Martins and full blown WRC cars. It's a system that works, and makes people good money, but you need plenty of capital to invest first and you need to charge way more than £20/hr.
