Essentially the series is an invitation event, but this year, in addition to regular championship competitors being invited, riders who have not ridden in the championship before (which is quite competitive and involves two eight-lap races at each meeting) and would like to ride this year can do so – as long as they have an eligible bike.
You don’t have to commit to the whole series and formal registration is not required, but basic details needed are: name, contact details e-mail or phone number, riding number, type/cc/age of bike and club membership (if any), a week before the first round on April 26.
