Maybe rent racing gear first to see if this is for you:

But let's be honest, racing is by no means a cheap sport. And the one thing you should NEVER skimp on is safety equipment. Finding a complete set of good condition, tech ready gear, for under $100, is a pretty big ask.

Gear is only the start of costs to race. Race registrations are $1650 per team, then when you add on consumables like tires, fuel, towing, brakes, etc.. the average 4 man team is probably spending at least a grand per-person, per-race.
