WHAT TO EXPECT
Your day begins with a comprehensive circuit and safety briefing, covering track layout, reference points, overtaking etiquette and on-track protocols. Safety underpins everything we do. Confidence and performance are built on control.
Throughout the day, sessions are delivered to a clear timetable with defined objectives. Two dedicated sessions will feature on-board video capture, followed by structured debriefs where your footage is reviewed and analysed with your instructor.
With live on-bike communications, instructors can guide you in real time, helping refine braking points, lines, body position and throttle control while you are riding. This accelerates improvement far beyond traditional follow-and-debrief methods.
Professional photography is included as part of your experience, ensuring you leave with both improved skills and high-quality imagery from your day.
