Just finished my first endurance race in a 1g DSM!

-It takes maybe a minute and a half to fill the car.
-Either that or belting in the driver, we're unfortunately not as fast as we could be at that.
-Depends on the length of the race, usually tires if its a 24hr
-Cool suit ice, sometimes top off with oil (not our car though). whatever breaks
-Generally yes, if you get the right ones
-180+

You have a lot of questions! I'd highly recommend renting a seat or going to a race to crew to get a feel for what it is like. The team doesnt' need to be near you to do that.

What are the costs involved in renting a seat?

And what type of equipment (to what extent is race atire required etc) required to purchase to be prepared?

I'd also like to know what the cost of renting a seat is (I would assume 300-500 range for a weekend event). I have zero wheel to wheel experience, just HPDE, and I'm not sure they'd want me since I don't think I'm a great driver by any means. I do ok in HPDE events, but mainly because the car is fast. Also, where would I find an ad for driver seats available?

Regarding equipment, assuming I'd need a full suit, I only have an SA2010 helmet right now. But I guess that is just a one time cost.
