After 14 rounds of racing a GSXR750 I am looking for a cheaper race series next year, having spent an evening with a desmodue racer he has almost convinced me your series is the way to go. So has anyone costed it out ? Has it cost anywhere near the £20k my series has

I reckon you're looking at £250 a meeting on average, and we have 6? meetings next season, plus one at Assen

So £2000 should do it.

Yep - I reckon circa £7.5K all in - haven't added it up exactly, but with the price of the bike, parts, trackdays, entries etc, etc - seems about right.
