HEAR IT AND FEEL IT WITH BMW MOTORRAD PERFORMANCE ACADEMY
NEW FOR 2026
On-board video analysis and real-time instructor feedback
We're taking a major step forward in 2026, with selected sessions now including on-board video recording. You will be able to review your riding in even greater detail, and combined with on-bike communications, your instructor will turn this in-depth analysis into real-time coaching on circuit. You won't just be told what to improve - you will see it, hear it and be able to apply it immediately.
ABOUT THE CIRCUIT
We are proud to return to Mallory Park for 2026 with a fully structured, timetable-led Academy designed to maximise both safety and performance. Mallory Park’s flowing layout and technical sections provide the perfect environment to develop confidence, control and consistency in a professional setting.
2026 INSTRUCTORS
Our 2026 Performance Academy season is led by British Superbike race winners, National Superstock Champions Danny Buchan and Mason Law, supported by an experienced instructor team of the highest British championship level instructors all focused on structured rider development.
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.
Spaces are strictly limited to maintain premium instruction ratios and maximum track time. If you are serious about elevating your riding in a safe, structured and elite coaching environment, secure your place for 2026 now before dates sell out.
