Racing is about winning... it's about being the best you can be... if you don't care about being the best you can be, then why compete... why do it at all....

the reason i'm 'bothering' is purely to give racing a go, its something i fancy trying and for me this is the best/cheapest opportunity.

if winning doesnt matter then why bother??? maybe ask wcm or aprilla in motogp, or some of the privateers in bsb wsb. for alot of people taking part does matter, myself included. dont get me wrong if i get a chance to overtake someone or move up a place i will take it. but i really am out there just so i can say i have been racing and for the experience.

if people only went into an event they thought they could win there would be alot of very small grids/participants: formula 1 - 2 entrants ?
tour de france - 3 entrants?
motogp - half a dozen?
