Aaawww thanks for the kind words folks.
At the end of the season (well actually only 1/2 season for me, 4 rounds) the total cost has come to a little over £5k all in. I'll update the Kapital Moto article in the coming days.
Of course you could do it a whole lot cheaper than that too - for example I could have saved £120 by camping this last weekend at Cadwell rather than deciding on a warm hotel room in Louth. I also could have saved money by not racing on Saturday, but I was greedy for more track time.
And then there's other things you might not need to buy that I did - full piece race suit, new boots and gloves etc.
Next season will also be cheaper as I already own the bike and necessary racing kit. Less capital expense and more operational outgoings as I plan on hopefully being at all 8 rounds.
