Karting Season Budget

Season Budget logs every karting spend by category and shows a season total with a breakdown, largest category first. Engine rebuild costs from Engine Hours and repair costs from Incident Log appear automatically as linked lines.

20 spend lines on Free (Premium: unlimited)

Season Budget is the spending log in the AVB RaceLabs Pit Kit. Each spend line has a Category, a date, an Amount (£) and an optional What for note. The categories are Entry fees, Tyres, Fuel & oil, Engine rebuilds, Parts, Damage, Travel and Other. At the top, a card shows the Season total and the spend in each category, sorted from largest to smallest. Underneath is a dated History of every line, newest first.

Karting costs are spread thin: an entry here, a set of slicks there, fuel, a rebuild, a long drive to a national round. Few families or drivers know the real total until they add it up. Seeing it by category shows you where the money is going and gives you numbers to plan next season with.

Two categories fill themselves. Rebuild costs logged against an engine in Engine Hours appear as Engine rebuilds lines named after the engine, such as "X30 top-end rebuild". Repair costs from Incident Log appear under Damage. These linked lines have a link icon, count towards the totals and are edited in their own tools, so nothing is entered twice. To see all your Pit Kit spending in one figure, the separate Running cost tool adds everything up.

Spend lines are saved on your phone and work offline, so you can log fuel at the pump or an entry fee at sign-on. Free accounts can log 20 spend lines of their own. Linked rebuild and damage lines do not count towards that limit. Premium lifts the cap and adds PitSync cloud backup.

Questions

How much does a season of karting cost?
It depends on your class and calendar. Season Budget shows your own figure by logging entry fees, tyres, fuel and oil, parts, travel and other spend, and by adding engine rebuild and damage costs from the Pit Kit automatically.
Do engine rebuilds and crash damage count towards the budget?
Yes. Rebuild costs from Engine Hours and repair costs from Incident Log appear as linked lines in the Engine rebuilds and Damage categories and are included in the Season total.
Do linked lines count towards the Free limit?
No. The Free limit is 20 spend lines that you add yourself. Linked rebuild and damage lines are read from their own tools and are not counted.
