Its a lovely idea and to be able to ride what many rate as the best track on the Motogp calendar.

TBH i have been put off these track courses a bit as that Chris Walker one was a complete load of bollocks, IMHO and not just because i fell off.

I need a lottery win.

I think we had a bad instructor at chris walker school.

I can't see the Ducati one being anything but awesome buy I imagine it's not cheap.

......I can't see the Ducati one being anything but awesome but I imagine it's not cheap.

Fwiw I'd love to do that, but I don't see any indication of pricing.
Perhaps it's a case of "if you're asking the price, then you can't afford it"

Exactly what I thought.

From memory the top level course is over a grand

Is that all, well they should have said.
Just £1k to hoon around on a track prepared Pannini, with professional instructors to tell me what I'm doing wrong when I bin it, & a fresh replacement to practice the amended technique.
Sounds like a steal to me. I bet I could get through about 6x by lunchtime.?

Only draw back will be the 6 excesses you get billed for

I seem to remember a figure of around 500 euros but i may be wrong. These things are more experience days than anything else.

If you want to learn to ride faster then one to one trackday instruction with someone who knows how to teach (and not just ride fast), is the best value for money IMHO. But even that would not be cheap. I did look at the Mike Edwards one to one a few years back and i reckon that may well cost you around £600-700 for a day all in but i suspect you would learn such a lot in that one day.

Not sure if still the case but originally Bayliss was instructing on the top level course.
