Yeah, without the funding you may be behind the well funded teams in terms of equipment. If you can stay on the lead lap though, you may just get lucky if there's an accident
You got it. One might make the podium a few times, with good luck, and a good crew and car. Who knows? In racing, anything can happen - and you might even end up on the top of the podium!
I've got a few real GT3 cars that I could enter into any series. I have my racing license both in the US with SCCA, and in Europe with the FIA, and VNC. If you own your own car, and everything goes fairly well, you're looking at 50k for a race weekend. It's as "cheap" as 25k a weekend for TCR.
(There are far less expensive racing series, some costing like $100 to 500 per race - plus bring your own car like a Miata.)
You better hope you finish in the money when you put up 50 grand to race
Most folks that start the race will not finish in the money.
Many series don't pay a lot. You get your money from sponsors - and maybe merchandise.
