thats why i mainly stick to trackdays. I can hobble around all day on old tires without a worry in the world. Racing is extremely fun and a great way to push your bounderies but the costs involved are just eye watering

No mention of insurance in that calculation.. do bikes not carry it. ? we did in cars.. typically circa £500 per race..

Another fantastic look into racing clip. Love this format of stuff from the race weekend,I club raced for a few years & that cost enough,the level of financial commitment to just run a small team in bsb is crazy. A big shout out has to go to Gav at MSG Racing as he must put allot into it & the rest of the team for doing such a good job,for a relatively small team you are doing a fantastic job 👍

They are a great team, Gav and the boys have put a fantastic bike together! It’s surprising sometimes that even at club level the costs can be similar!

@Mike_abel 2 ай бұрын

Thanks! Cost of talent cup, take out a few sets of tyres and you won’t be far off!

@supaquickgpr 2 ай бұрын

I know some talent cup teams who are charging more than the cost mentioned in this video. I'm sure you missed out a few costs too to be honest. Good video though. He would be a lot better off if he decided to jack racing in and fly the twin engine plane that was in the background. I've got into aviation instead. You can go places, it's much cheaper per hour than racing in a single engine and fun to do.

To counter these costs though, what prize money do teams receive and down to what position?

@Mike_abel 2 ай бұрын

There is no prize money for any BSB class…

@damianatkin3249 2 ай бұрын

@@Mike_abel I didn't know that. I thought there would be some incentive. Like the starter money of the old days.

Do the teams/riders get any prize money for winning a round or the championship.

None at all, No prize money on offer for any class! But don’t worry you do get a large plastic trophy👊

The curcuits and organisers fill their pockets. Nothing is given back to the Riders. Just pure greed imo.

In Australia in the mid to late 80’s, a workmate got 3rd in one of the two Australian 125cc GP Championship race heats for the weekend. He took home $1500 and a brass/bronze trophy. Motorcycle racing was big here back then. Now, I can’t remember how long ago since anyone got paid beyond third place outright for the ROUND and that’s ONLY for superbike class, and it’s barely any more than my workmates got paid nearly forty years ago!!! 😵😢

@512460 Ай бұрын

And with that maths my friend is the reason why some motorcyclists ride the roads like a track and break speed limits. So all the "go on a track and do it" comments don't factor the general cost for track riding
