Everything is lifed by mileage , taking everthing into account , it works out at about £50 a mile to run it , and the average rally is about 100 miles .
So about £5k per rally !!
Engine needs a rebuild between 750 and 1000 miles , gearbox strip and check every 500 , new clutch shim every 200 .
They take a lot of looking after

I would have thought the gearbox and diffs would go a lot longer , 7k revs side stepping the clutch on every start line puts a lot of strain on the running gear , never once has it broke anything off the start line , its very strong compered to a standard car , the engine would also last longer , how long who knows , with 11-1 compression ratio and up to 2 bar of boost is never going to do 20k miles lol.
The clutch shim would probably last less between changes , it,s the starts and moving the car about wears the carbon plates , as once moving you don't use the clutch up the box , only down.
Race Fuel is just under £4 a litre , on the stages i would only get a mile a litre , on the road about 3

Cheers.
Of course, that's only the half of it... As when things do eventually wear/fail, then you're in a whole new dimension of financial pain re. replacing the (relative to OEM) rare, exotic hardware!
Did you source a lot of parts through WRC Spares?
