| Well i've read through the quoted costs and whilst I agree that you 'can' spend 5-7k if you really wish I personally feel that with this series being a 6 round series only then the costs 'could' be kept lower it really depends on your view of the series and what you want to get out of it.
Some costs are unavoidable. Fees-Licence-Club Membership-Fuel-Tyres-Food- etc but...
For this series as a taster and for 6 rounds only then to keep to a budget it's possible to do this:
Bike £1500-2K ( lots of monsters already have some serious mods made to them already)
Tyres 2 sets max really unless you wanna do serious test days.
Don't need spare wheels with wets ( TW only used wets twice last year in 20 odd races)
No Genny
No warmers
No van ( trailer £150 and tent or mate to tow cheap caravan)
Belly Pan £40-50
Lockwire £ 10
Oil Change £40
Fluid Change £20
Belts £25
Regards food for the weekend - how much would you spend at home during the weekend going out or-and on takeaways?
For me if I decide to take my road bike then my costs are even further reduced as my bike already would have Ohlins rear and Racetech front.
For me it would be fun only.
For TW it cost him £12k for last season on a minitwin.
