Back in the day, I competed as an amateur in my local round of the WRC. The car I competed in was self-built from a base model Skoda Felicia which cost me £40. (immaculate, low mileage, but with a broken camchain so the engine was dead). Obviously cost me a lot more than that in the end, but still only maybe £6k built. Motorsports news found a part from a focus WRC which cost the same as the purchase price of the car, which was a single nut. Made for a good comparison and story, and quite a few people mentioned that to me the week when we did the event...
