£1000 for Friday/Saturday/Sunday is quite easy to get to.
£150 fuel £120 entry and testing £280 tyres £240 accomodation (or add another £150 onto fuel for motorhome) £240 mechanic
That's without counting any consumables, engine/chassis wear and tear, accident damage, food etc. I've probably underestimated on fuel also. If you argue you don't need a mechanic all these other things could easily cover that amount. That's before you even consider team fees if any.
£1000 for a 3-day meeting is pretty cheap. For a 2-day meeting it's not surprising and even for a 1-day meeting it would be fairly conceivable as many of the costs are fixed regardless of how many days you are racing.
