    Hold up! Are we really going to hide the best competitive driving Josh has ever done and the most laps he's successfully completed in a competition as being a maths video? That shot of you just skimming the wall was epic.

    I’d imagine factoring in a 4x4 or van plus a car transporter,a pro spec car a workshop to enable work on said car and your easily up the guts of €100,000…..the €2000 a weekend event costs on top of that without sponsorship and a top notch day job you’re in bother😄

    Well done josh, try learn to use just the clutch instead of the handbrake then you would of had the 2nd battle.. the speed use are going it only takes a 1/2secs with the clutch in to back off a enough to miss without actaully slowing down with the handbrake.. get yourself a owl banger for doing we drift days like oval days etc you will master door to door an the timing.. dave will be able to tell you what nutts corner is like we all go door to door with 5/6 cars in a row but there is also a lot of wreckers 😂😂😂

    So I spend $2500-$2700 (depending on crew that week), up to 25 times a year (usually around 20) and that's just to show up and not counting any maintenance or Equipment costs. That is to run at a local track, that has 20-30 cars in just our class, and there are up to 8 classes (usually 6-7). Every week I can go to any of 5 different tracks within 2 hours and more tracks if you go a little further. That's for a regular grass roots Late Model Stock.
