Like Lily has said for me, and I suspect others on here, in the week I lose at least a days pay, then pay for the track day, the van hire, tyres, fuel, food, those kind of sundry items.

In the week it works out at a loss of around £700 per track day.... so £95 in comparison is a bargain, I'll take the risk.

Weekends, and certain tracks book up months in advance, if you want to ride them you have to book them early, and there's no predicting the weather at any time of year in this country.

6th gear @6000rpm = 108mph (tested on a private road )

Don't think it'll be flying by...

£700 - £40 for van hire + £95 track day =
