CookieIpswich 249 Posted October 25, 2017 The figure I gave you was for a 2 rider team in stock class, the cost was for bikes, truck. Workshop.. Repairs to bikesand so on...not a big hospitality job. They then moved into superbike class and cost was then 900k before recouping 200 in sponsorshp. Each bike alone was 110k to build to competitive spec. I take it you don't expect your rider to ever crash.??? Are these guys still actively in BSB now? Because two riders, trucks, workshop, team personnel I can see it being around the figures you've said, it's not cheap by any means The way we are potentially doing it, is transport is already sorted, workshop is already sorted, bikes are supplied FOC the man hours for prepping are already paid for, so £100k is literally for parts, entries, tyres, fuel, the rider will bring sponsorship with them which will cover crash damage We are both right, if you strip it all down to just running costs it's doable, and depending on rider you can run top 10ish to compete at the sharp end even for BSB with technical restrictions will cost double, what Honda spend alone is crazy Back in 2005 Honda and Ducati had a 350k budget for the Supersport class alone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CookieIpswich 249 Posted October 25, 2017 Baldy, we're looking at 2019/2020 season in all honesty (as the fight promotion is launching next year) so rider won't be signed and sealed but there are some promising youngsters out there, just a case of monitoring there development over next year and potentially the year after and seeing what the opportunity is, also by then depends what the regulation's are in BSB, it could be practically like Superstock by then, we'll wait and see You would think the biggest talents will be taken by the top 5/6 teams but majority is done based on what sponsorship a rider can bring, hoping there is an opportunity where a young talent who can put a decent bike around the top 10 will be available but one who doesn't have a big enough budget to attract a top team, best case scenario all round Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crump99 4,476 Posted October 26, 2017 Jack holder in aussie restaurant Bit irrelevant to Panthers 2018 because if we're here then he'll not be anywhere near the place if they've got any sense. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Irving 393 Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) If the rumours prove to be true and Lakeside and Ipswich move back to the top flight, Peterborough should look to do likewise. Easier said than done obviously and I understand the current unsettled situation, but it makes much more sense for Peterborough to move back up than remain in the predominantly Northern league.
