What Kind Of Bike Would You Need For Mountain Bike Racing?
I have a small mountain bike already but not sure if it would be good enough. Also how much does it cost to enter races and do you need a licence to ride at junior level?
Any information on what types of tracks there are, what sort of tyres do i need and are there any good tracks in South East London/ England?

it all depends on the type of racing, crosscountry, downhill, 4X.
assuming its the type of riding that you do at the moment then just use the bike and tyres you’ve got, if you then enjoy it and feel like you need a more competitive bike then you could upgrade. if you find you dont enjoy it as much as you thought you would then you havent wasted money on a new bike you wont use.
Ask in your local bike shop (probably not halfords) they will know about local events and clubs and may even race themselves.
That bike will probably work.
