Over on the General Formula Car Discussion topic, I've been conducting a survey of operational costs for each class. Here I'm only interested in costs that differ significantly between the classes, and not, for example, entrance fees, hotel, food, etc.
Drivers from some classes have responded with data for their class, and the result is a spreadsheet in Google docs.
Here's what I have for this class. If you have changes, please reply below, and I will update the spreadsheet.
