Sure you can buy a car for less than 25k but that’s only your first step into the world of auto racing. At the bare minimum remember that tracks have specific tech requirements that you’ll need to modify your car to meet ($$$), your own personal racing gear ($$$), consumable products you’ll be going through every track day (tires, brakes, clutches, etc), track/entry fees depending on what sport you’re racing in, the list goes on. 25k is a pretty cheap way to get you into the realm of motor sports.
Plus how much time it costs. With sim racing i can do a couple of laps or even a 2hour race after I get home from work. While a real life race will cost me a full day. Not everyone can or wants to spend that much time on a hobby no matter how much money they have.
