I have to agree... for that kind of money, just rent the track for a day and bring some friends along to play. Sometime I want to drive the great tracks of America in my Ferrari (full speed); and the Challenge series would be a fun way to do it; but not at those costs. |

20 000 $ per race ? i remember that when it started with the 348 the price for the whole euro season was 30000 $
the US is really a mad country .
Plus as Tim said , the car hasnt factory warranty so its a pretty expensive hobby.
No gentlemen serie anymore ! it has become a professional serie ..its a shame. |

I have heard that there are not as many drivers as in the past, and fewer drivers are running the entire series.
The cost is incredible to run the series, averaging $20,000.00 a race according to a couple of friends that run the series.
The downturn in the market has effected a lot of the drivers in the series, although I have heard no plans of cancelling the program.

I heard a rumor from two different sources that the 360 Challenge Series is in trouble and may be cancelled. Seems they are losing sponsors and drivers.
Can anyone confirm?
