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
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,I thought I would give you congratulations for the video, blog, insights, and brilliant questions. It was really interesting, I didn't recognise the rider, but he looks dam fast , so yeah, keep up the great content 👍 👏 👌.
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.
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
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!!! 😵😢
@@richie7361just because someone’s dad paid for everything doesn’t mean they’re not grateful… your parents got the same 24 hours a day. should’ve worked harder.. and this is coming from someone who was never given anything growing up🤙🏻
@@JPG_Racing lol what a stupid comment you don't even know my parents and they could be very wealthy for all you know they just don't choose to piss it away on their kid that's never going to achieve anything in racing? Grow up mate ffs you don't have a clue. Bank.of mammy and daddy again. How pathetic. So because you never had anything would you like a medal or something? Lots of people have nothing don't think you are special 🤦♂️🤣🙄
