everyones advise is welcome but it just seems to be the most realistic.
you have to bear in mind this series is aimed at the trackdayer who wants to dip his toes in the racing world.
by definition if you have done a few trackdays you will quite likely have the majority of the stuff you are likely to need:
leathers and riding kit
maybe tyre warmers
trailer or van
and i think alot of people are really overestimating the amount of money to be spent on tyres, petrol, upkeep.
there are 6 races max if you can make them all. 6 laps i believe even with practice thrown in its not going to be many miles per meeting. call it 100. so 600 in total. call it 1k then.
as far as im concerned i wont be fannying about with oil changes etc after every race on a 620 in a very low state of tune.
also for me and maybe some others, the races will replace some of the trackdays i would have done so that money will be netted out too
