I am letting people work it out for themselves, I am only giving another viewpoint.
What I am struggling with is why would you want to race and then put yourself in a position of not being able to win ? Ability aside the whole point of racing is to try and win. By saving money and noy buying warmers/wets you are at a disadvantage that you can't make up.

It would have been better within the rules to have banned warmers and wets and had a road tyre as the control tyre, like some of the other cheap series do. Also I see you have to have a road licence, I can't understand this as I'm sure there may be fans of ducati's out there that may want to do this but don't have a road licence yet they would have to go to the expense of getting one ? I see 80hp mentioned for these bikes but no internal mods allowed, where is the 80hp coming from and who is gonna police the engines for legality ?

I am totally for cheap racing and I like this idea, I just don't think it's the cheap racing you were aiming for, if it was you could have set the rules a lot better
