How much does it really cost?
We are often asked:
“But how much does a race weekend cost? A set of tyres? Driver training? The academy?”
To give you a clear and concrete idea, here are some key figures from a Formula 4 season budget:
Equipment & Training Costs :
-
€250 – FIA-approved racing shoes
-
€500 – HANS safety device
-
€1,250 – One simulator training day
-
€1,500 to €3,000 – FIA-approved helmet with custom design
-
€1,500 – One set of tyres
-
€7,500 to €10,000 – One full training day
-
€12,500 to €20,000 – One race weekend
-
€8,500 to €15,000 – Racing school / academy fees
-
€15,000 – Hotels & accommodation for the season
-
€20,000 – Mandatory insurance
The scale of a season
A full Formula 4 season in France — including a mechanic, coach, psychologist, osteopath, technical staff, and full organisation — represents a total investment of €174,600 (VAT included).
And that’s not all…
This doesn’t even include repair costs in case of damage:
-
A front wing: several thousand euros
-
A gearbox: €15,000 and more
-
An engine: up to €30,000
Every off-track incident can make the budget skyrocket.
This is why every contribution — small or large — is vital to keep the journey going.
