    Trackday at Oulton on 26th is £155. I'm paying £15 more for approx 50 laps less!

    Yes racing is awesome but not when it's daylight robbery like this, I have to moan somewhere unfortunately you guys get it :)

    No limits racing next year mate believe me much better IMO .

    Prefere how NL do QF for each day unlike hottrax 1xQF for both days

    £225 for 2 races sat and QF same Sunday with £85 think it is for test day

    They just haven't done oulton which is a shame .

    Be great to have you and wedgie over to NL with me and Jimbo:D

    They have novice then NL cup for clubman and Pirelli superseries for clubman and national....

    They don't mix classes though buddy so you'll be lining up with upto 35 same capacity evenly spec'd bikes.

    35 at snet - had to qualify to race! lol

    usually about 25 bikes i'd say on average. but all the same bike and class. so good even racing.

    think cadwell is full capacity this weekend.
