Whether you're quick from doing trackdays matters not a bit, you've no prior racing experience, which is a world apart from just riding round on a trackday. It is annoying that the 620 class is that much more expensive, but if Couch was turned away from it with his limited racing experience and had to fork out £5K ish for a bike, why should it be any different for anyone else? If it starts getting one rule for one and one for the other the series is going to start looking very amateur and cliquey indeed.

I do see your point entirely, however, what about the people who have raced in DD this year. They may hold novice licences, but they are far from nervy beginners.

The rules do state that...

Discretion may be shown by the committee towards entrants who do not meet all of these criteria, but who are entering in the spirit of the series.

So it's not being cliquey or favoring one person over another.

That's the rules - and they may not let me in!!
