You can join the ACU for a start. As far as i'm aware you can't just enter a 125gp.

A lot of youngsters seem to be coming up though the redbull rookies academy.
Without meaning to sound like a cunt, but unless your about 9 and already a 5 times minimoto national champion with a millionaire father you haven't got a hope in hell. ____________________ Yamaha FZR400RR 3tj

That's not racing boyo, trust me.
There's no way you're keeping up with a properly ridden big cc bike on an Aprilia RS125. ____________________ My Flickr |

I spent £15k in 1 year racing, on a bike that requires 0 amount of tuning.
Start by doing trackdays, you'll need
Motorcycle
Uk licence
1 or 2 piece zip leathers + gloves boots
1 ACU gold sticker
Travel for yourself and bike to track
Money for trackday ranges between £70 and £300 depending on track and time of year
Petrol money
Thats for 1 trackday.
For 1 race weekend you'll need:
Join and pay for racing club membership
ACU novice licence (Requires a 1 day course plus track time and £££)
1 Race bike that will pass race scurtineering
Transponder
1 piece leathers, gloves and boots that will pass scurtineering
1 ACU gold sticker full face helmet
Race fees
Travel for yourself and bike to track (Van)
Petrol money
Optional: Tyres, tyre warmers, generator, sleeping accomadtion, tools, air compressor, spares motocycles parts, spare clothing, food, water.
Then you need to do 10 of those ^^^^ to get your national license.
Then you will probably have to enter a national or European series, where each race meet will be like the one above but 10x for cost
Then you need to be good enough to be selected to race for a motoGP team, so you have to do pretty well in a national/European series like red bull rookies.
Its doable but you need a hell of a lot of money and time. Easily tens of thousands of pounds, maybe even hundreds.
If your really good at club/national level you may get a sponsor, this obviously opens the doors a lot wider.
Again, its been done, obviously but without high amounts of financial backing you've pretty much got no hope.
TBO a much better target is trackdays and club racing, I reckon 99.99% of racers are just happy to get to that level.
Club racing is like playing for your local non-league football team.
Moto gp is like playing for England in the World Cup |

Sounds like you'll be losing your road licence before you get an

'Racing' through high streets = cock.
If you think you're billy big biscuits racing material then get your arse on a track and prove it. |

People have given you lots of advice, telling you step by step what you need to do to end up racing in MotoGP.
No need to go telling everyone to fuck off, not sure exactly what you were wanting people to reply saying but people answered your question and were quite restrained with pointing out how MotoGP is a very long way away.
Oh yeah G, John Angel started in bsb superstock but ended up dropping out cos of money. |
