Trying to buy my race licence (hope to ride in the league this year) and I'm not sure if I need to purchase the full licence with silver membership or if the provisional licence with silver membership is enough. Can anyone help?
If you are ONLY going to ride League, then you only need a provisional with silver. You cannot get points on your license. TL points are awarded (I think) at the end of the season based on overall placings, so I guess not much of a worry to you.
However, track racing is addictive and if you've got a competitive streak like me and found you've scored a few TL points after a few weeks no doubt someone will ask, 'you riding the Omnium event on Saturday?' Now you are able to get some points on your license.
For now, buy a provisional and then once you are addicted, upgrade to a full license.
