Sorry Steve, but you're contradicting yourself now. If you know you're not going to win then why, as you said yourself, are you bothering to enter? Surely you'd be better off sticking to trackdays as well?
I know the reason - it's because you want to take part and have a go at winning and you may be surprised to learn that a lot of us in the DesmoDue series feel exactly the same.
Do I think I'm going to win? It's difficult to say. I don't know the full line up, but from the few that I do know about then I may well be in the running, and at least not last ... I'll leave that to Tony.
Who can predict the outcome anyway? What happens if the hot favourite breaks their leg getting out of the bath half way through the season? If we could do that then we'd all be millionaires through easy bets!
Please don't judge everyone but what you feel is necessary for your racing, just because you've been there. I know a lot of amateur racers and a good friend of mine, who won the Bemsee 250GP championship in 2000, never used tyre warmers when I went and watched him race!
The point is that I'm going to take part and I'm not going to spending anywhere near 5K this season *gauranteed*. I'm keeping a total of costs throughout the season, so it will be interesting to see how much I do spend.
