The Club 100 site shows the cost for the sprint series at Ł166 per round (11 rounds) or Ł1700 for the series (prices include VAT). They also hire suit, helmet and gloves for Ł10 per day.
It is a national series so you will also need to add in travel etc.
To give you any meaningful comparative cost for owner/driver racing we would really need to have some idea of where you are based (if you want club racing only) but as a rough guide for a national series like Esaykart, costs would be along the following lines:-
Kart - from Ł1200 to Ł3000 depending on if you buy used or new.
Practice and race fees for 8 rounds Ł900
Fuel for above Ł200
Tyres Ł1000 (depends if you have a new set for each round)
Spares e.g. oil, chains, sprockets Ł300
Damage to kart Ł????
Suit, helmet, gloves. msa licence (maybe medical)
Travel etc would be similar except that you also need to transport your kart or get someone to do it for you.
Can you mechanic for yourself? If not you need to pay someone and cover their travel etc.
You will need an engine rebuild - say one per season.
