Before you start, go to some race meetings and chat with some of the competitors in the paddock. Most will be happy to talk about their sport and this will help you to decide which type of racing you would like to become more involved in.
Please remember that all competitors require their own motorcycle and budget, to compete.
The association chairman/representative from the various categories can assist you in finding a suitable motorcycle to purchase should you not have one. The key point is that whatever motorcycle you buy must comply with both General Competition Rules and the club championship Supplementary Regulations. A scrutineer will check your motorcycle on-event for compliance and if it doesn’t comply, you won’t be allowed to compete.
Before purchasing your MSA licence, you would need to write an exam on the Circuit Racing SSR’s which is found in the GCR handbook. You may contact the circuit sporting coordinator to assist you with setting up the exam and further information about starting out allison@motorsport.co.za
