    Formula 3

    Hey guys! I have run a few searches and can't seem to find a thread that I am looking for so I will make a new one. I am very interested in getting into some track racing and I have been for a while. I have heard a little about formula 3 and I think this is where I want to be. I am interested in buying and racing a VFR400 or RGV250 in this grade.

    So... where do I start? I would like to know how much it all costs to get signed up and to get going. Also how often I would get to race. I already have all the gear (leathers, back protector etc.) and a van with a trailer. I was interested in starting out on RG150 bikes for racing, but I don't think I would enjoy it as much after taking my R6 to a few track days now. Also, if I am going to be blowing all the money I don't have on racing, I want to do it right!!!

    Basically I would just like any tips, advice, websites, contact numbers, or just anything that could help me! I have money to buy a race bike and a fair bit of motorbike mechanical knowledge for when I crash - which I plan on doing (or should I say expecting...?) - and need to fix my bike up. I just don't want to bin my R6 and track days aren't letting me push it to my limit because of that!! (Check my videos at http://www.youtube.com/user/IPhantomLordI where you can see I keep my riding to a certain, very safe level).

    Cheers guys and gals!

    Wrong attitude bro !!
    ya get hurt doin that shit !
    1/ PM duke girl and get ya vic membership done
    2/ go to www.mnz.co.nz and have a read of rules, classes etc then get yr race licence underway soon, so ya can race in the actrix series ! ( you need to know what classes your gonna race in, so ya get ya race number sorted for them classes) sounds like yr keen on F3 so get a number for F3 and post classic pre 89 as i do hear the posties is a fun class !
    3/ find yaself a bike
    4/ change ya attitude to falling off (noone wants you binning in front of them)
    Stay upright bro it's a lot more fun !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Do a search for F3 and pro-twins.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
