"U do club racing love to get into that"

Costs a fortune about £1,000 per race weekend plus any damage on top of that but is worth it

Then everything else you need. I came off on a trackday last Friday. Wrecked a 3 month old arai helmet and racing at cadwell this weekend. It is my absolute favourite track

You can easily double that to run at BSB, and add more if you want to be at the sharp end

Cadwell is a lovely track, but the jump over the hill always scares me, never sure how much throttle to give it!

Only part of cadwell I don’t like. I keep about a metre from the left hand side, as it’s smoother and sets you up for hall bends. On the right hand side there’s a second rise that can catch people out, seen a few flip the bike going over there

Also always cover the back brake if bike comes up too fast or too far, then a dab of rear brake sorts it out
