Depends on how you do it really, whether you do it on your own or whether you run out of the awning of a 'proper' team. Adam Nichols who deservedly won it this year was run by his dad and his dad's mate, although for a DIY team they were pretty professional.

To be more specific on the costs of a Super 1 round here is my estimation (and don't trust that!!):
Entry Ł95
Control tyres Ł138
Control Fuel Ł42
Fuel for testing plus the jenny Ł30-40
Friday Testing permit Ł30-45
Cost of beer in the Lucas Racing Awning Ł1,000,000
Oil at the end of every day Ł unsure - I never check the bill!
plus costs of other bits and bobs that end up getting bought ie pulse pumps, sprockets, carb rubbers, Super 1 numbers, trackrods(!!). Nothing major though.
Basically I have found that I develop this ridiculous mindset when I'm at Super 1 that money isn't real so I'll buy stuff when it absolutely isn't neccessary, the sh!t myself on the Monday afterwards. If you are a bit more sensible, you could do it a lot cheaper.

Other costs to consider -
accomodation - but dossing at the track is much better.
travel fuel - huge expense in the scheme of things.
Food - can be expensive but if you get hungover enough you don't have to eat. For those that do eat, a George Foreman is the best start of season investment you could possibly make.
And then if you do pay a team for awning space you will have to negotiate your own price for that and I honestly have no idea what people pay.

Hope this helps. On paper it may seem like a lot of money, but for a three or four day jaunt, it's cracking value for money in the motorsport world.
