The circuit requires good bike handling skills and the ability to make a hard 1 minute effort every 3 minutes so it can be daunting your first couple of times, but after you get the hang of it you can be fine.
You'll get dropped for sure, but most people get dropped in their first couple of races. What's important is committing to it and trying to race every week so that you get the cumulative gains of racing.
I'm sure he won't mind me saying this, but Chris (daccordi on here) had a goal last summer of finishing a race at CP, by the end of the season he was scoring points in the 3/4 race.
